'HAPSBURG CROWNS WAR PAWNS AGAIN
Recovery By American MP’s of Gems Taken By Nazis, Adds Another Chapter to Their Fascinating Histories.
By EDWARD J. BYNG There are certain cities of the world whose destiny it has been to | lie at the crossroads of war. Inevitably, the treasure which kings and princes have gathered in these cities have played a role in the turbulence of conquest and battle. Often they were pawns in the game. Vienna and Budapest were two such cities, and there Europe's oldest and most revered royal crowns were kept. They were the sacred |

Henry J. Taylor $ New Book Bares Details at End.
Editor's note<—A graphic scription of Hitler's last days is contained in “Men and Power,” by Henry J. Taylor, just published by Dodd, Mead & Co. Mr. Taylor's book reveals for the first time original material he obtained in Germany in the spring and summer of 1945. The following article is composed of excerpts from the chapter on Hitler,

crown of St, Stephen (the crown of Hungary) which was kept in Budapest, and the crown of the Holy Romgn Empire, which was kept in Vienna, Both of these capitals were swept by the hurricane of the last war, and another chapter was added to the fabulous histories fo the priceless relics which had Jeposey there,
THE ANCIENT crown of Hungary derives its name from the fact that its lower portion was given to Saint Stephen, first king of Hungary, by the pope for the king's coronation in the year 1000 A. D. At that time the crown was open at the top, consisting only of a broad gold band encircling its wearer’s head and studded with rubies, sapphires and other precious stones. Some 200 years later the emperor of Byzantium presented the king of Hungary with another crown. Dome-shaped,
by a cross, Subsequently the two crowns were soldered together, forming a single
unit which has since figured at the
coronation of . Hungary's throughout the centuries.

of the Hungarian republic, had the crown of St. Stephen buried to prevent any Hapsburg from using it.
The dramatic recovery of the crown after the Hapshurgs had! crushed the Hungarian revolt in|
1849 was due to an inadvertent remark made by one of the men who knew where it had been hidden. His words were reported to the Hapsburg authorities, who promptly had the crown dug up.

taking it with him in Austria.
to his hiding In the summer of 1945 the adventurer was captured by the American army and sent back to Hungary where he was fried as a war criminal and executed in April, 1946. This inglorious end of an glorious career was preceded last vear by the return of St. Stephen's crown to Hungary.

Editor's Note: The sensational story of the theft of the jewels of Hesse, which has resulted in the arrest of an army colonel and a WAC captain revives the question: What has happened to some other royal treasures of Europe? Compared to some of these —such as the crown treasure of the Hapsburgs—the three-million-dollar Hesse gems appear to be small items. In a series of articles of which this is the third, Edward J. Byng tells the amazing story of some of these fabulous gems,

The venerable relic was found by jour G. Ls during their sweep through Germany last yéar, stowed away with many other objects of art in a salt mine in Bavaria. It is worth making an imaginary jaunt to Africa to récord the colorful war adventures of the crown ol the emperors of Ethiopia. This relic is about 250 years old and originally belonged to the Ethiopian Emperor Theodore.

Later the Hohenzollerns returned the crown to Britain, where it was long on display in London's well- known South Kensington museum.
