TO THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER

We tarry here where frost-winds blow
To mediate above your clay,
And wonder at the ghostly thing
That men call fame along LIES way.
The lust OF battle smote son,
And all the rapture Of the world
Can never raise your sightlesS eyes
To see the battle flags unfurled
Who'll feed the fires of Mars again.
And call 10 weary souls asleep?
Some newborn pageant OF men
Who ponder where their women weep.
No song OF battle calls us now .
Celestial voices echo here:
With passion gone, and vengeance dead.
You raise men from unholy fear.
Remorse has stricken flesh and blood.
The ancient thrones have lost their dead
And guns are hushed where marching feet
Left saddened children asking bread.

Handsome King Charles /
above, loved by many of his sub
jects, persisted in long quarrel
with his ministers and the House
of Commons, and finally was ex-
ecuted.
IFS penalty for his defiance Of
ministers, lawmakers, and the
public. He brought to the throne,
in 1885, a record already spotted
by an early marriage, under dis
creditable circumstances, to Anna
Hyde, daughter of Lord Chancellor
Clarendon.
James had renowned the
throne to wed Anna, cofflmoner
But, In spite Of this, he became
king of England at the death OF
his brother, Charles II.
His second marriage, to Cath
olic Mary Of Modena, followed his
conversion to the Catholic faith.
A Mortified Parliament thereupon
passed the Test act forbidding
Catholics to hold office.
James coerced judges to rule
against the Test act, and soon
afterward began to admit Catho-
lies to chief offices in army and
government.
After James had further an
tagonized Parliament and his adj
visers, Protestant mobiles decided
to invite William of Orange to
invade England and take over the
throne.
CHARLES DEFIES ADVISORS
James fled to ireland and later
to France, where he spent the
rest of his life in an atmosphere
of penitence and sanctity. He had
learned his lesson too late.
The sorrow that came to King
Charles began with his contract
to marry Princess Henrietta Maria
of France. Powerful Protestant
leaders took offense, but the situa-
ton might have been overlooked
had not Charles followed up with
dictatorial attitude toward Parli-
ament.
Quibbling began when Charles
took the throne in 1925, and
reached its climax in 1641, when
he made the fatal mistake Of try
I ing to arrest five members of the
Commons. No English sovereign
ever had, or has since that time,
penetrated into the House Of
Commons.
Unsuccessful in obtaining the
men he sought, and amid scenes
Of war preparation, the king left
London to form an army. At the
same time, the great Cromwell
was building an opposing force.
Charles was defeated in the en-
suing civil war, and fled to Scot
land, where he intrigued for sup
port. But his practice of selling his
friends short discredited him. He
was trusted by no one.
DEATH FOR CHARLES 1
Without army or resources.
Charles finally surrendered. He
remained obstinately opposed to
all negotiations, and Cromwell at
last declared England could have
no peace while this king lived.

(NEA Service STAN Correspondent
If Edward VIII marries Mrs.
Wallis Simpson and remains king,
he will be the first British monarch
to defy his ministers and get away
with it.
The musty archives of England re-
cord that other kings have reck-
lessly challenged the government
leaders, but In the end had to bow
to defeat, in one way or another.
Neither wheedling, bribing, bull
lyragging, nor plain obstinacy has
long diverted the Stern will of the
cabinet-that small body of men
whose duty it Is to consult with
and advise the king.
For defying those ministers, one
British ruler lost his head under
the executioner's ak; another was
forced to flee into exile; third,
finding opposition strong, recon-
sidered his personal ambitions
and was allowed to retain his
crown and die a natural death.
HENRY VIII IN HOT WATER

romantic adventures of King
Henry VIII, he of the six wives
Henry came to the throne in 1909
when most of England's govern
mental power was vested in the
king. But Henry had his troubles
His first quarrel was with the
church. Rome opposed his d.
vorce from Catherine of Aragon
Instead of meeting the issue head
on, Henry promised Parliament
wider powers in return for a law
abolishing papal jurisdiction. Then
by beheading Sir Thomas More
Bishop Fisher, and other faithful
Catholics, Henry removed the last
obstacle to the divorce.
This bold move was inspired by
Henry's passion for Anne Boleyn
who became his second wife. But
poor Anne was beheaded on a
charge of misconduct after she
failed to bear male heir to the
throne. Jane Seymour, his thirc
wife, died after giving birth tt

full to Henry. So he divorced her.

In many ways, Charles had won
