Congeight, 1914, by The Prom Piblishing Co, (The New York Freaing World), No. 53.—A Squabble Over a Dowry That Led to France's’ Conquest. ECAUSE of a twenty per cent. difference between the dowry aske@ and the dowry offered for the hand of a French girl, England and France went to war and France was conquered. n France's King was insane. France's nobles were pustiy wrecking the country. France's fortunes were at lowest ebb. And Henry V., King of England, hit upon this psychological moment to lay claim to- the French thro angrily denied by France. But Henry was not unrey sonable. He lessened his demands and offered to take, instead of the whole iingdom of France, a generous slice of French territory, and to accept im addition two million crowns in money, besides marrying Catherine, daugh- | ter of the poor inapne French King. |, Henry had no more legal or moral right to the French throne or to a@ inch of French territory than you have to your neighbor's watch. But it- was an age when Might spelt Right. Had Henry been certain he had the Might he would have seized the Kingdom of France without going through the formality of asking for it. But England was not yet a European power of the first class. And France, in spite of her countless misfortunes, was still supposed to be one of the strongest countries on earth. So Henry, doubting gravely his power to seize, cons deacended to bully and wheedle, But when France re- fnsed to let him mervy the Princess Catherine and to grant all the Jand and money he had demanded, he stopped wheediing and began to threaten, He had never seen Catherine—a pretty, wilful girl whe had been badly brought up and whore relatives’ penury had often forced her to dress in rags, Yet Henry had decided to marry her, and when France said “No,” he recalled his Ambassador and made notey preparations for war. But soon he thought better of the idea, and offered to compromise by marrying Catherine and accepting with her a dowry of one million crowns, France was also willing to compromise, The French regent consented to let Catherine marry Henry and offered to give with her a dowry of 800,000 crowns, instead of a million And over thia difference of 20 per cent. in a princess's dower money the war began, Refusing to “hoge'e like a merchant” (which was exactly what he had been doing for some time), Henry assembled thirty thousanu men and set nail with/them for France. He landed near Harfleur. It was a day when an invading army wan usually supposed to plunder at will the country through which it passed. To Henry's eternal credit, he forbade his troops to do anything of this sort, and made them respect the lives and property of all French non-combatants, | Thougn his army won half starved, and stolen food would have been wel- comed, the command was atrictly obeyed.

Then they scrambled to their feet and the battle was on. ‘The English soldiers withstood unshaken the assault by an army several times as large as their own, 10,000 Frenchmen were killed that day and about 1,600 English.
