Document’ Discovered in Old Monas- tery in Mecklenburg Describes “Wagons Without Horses” and “Fiery Dragons of the Air.” Copenhagen—In the razing of the old: monastery of the Holy Ghost in Wismar, Mecklenburg, an old Bible was found which contained a remark- able prophecy regarding the. present world war. It was written in 1701 by ‘one of the monks on parchment that is now yellow and seared with age. It |-.’ is now on exhibition in a glass case in the city hall: of Wismar. So much publicity has been, given to the pro- Phecy in the. papers of Germany that thousands have: flocked to Wismar to gee it, | The prophecy not, only gives the cause of the war, but also indicates the countfies engaged.. Up to the ipresent it has been amazingly accu- jrate. It does not exactly state that \Germany will be: victorious, but: indi- cates how long the war will last, when the decisivé battle will be fought, and where and when peace will come, and adds.that Germany will continue to ex- ist as a power for many years, \A translation of the writing on the parchment is as follows: “When Malignity and Hatred Rule” Lord, have mercy on thy people de spite the fact that they are turning more and more away from thee; that they. are destroying thy monasteries and cloisters and forgetting thee. A time: will come in Europe when these people will feel the weight of thy hand, when malignity and hatred will rule. It, will be at a time when the Papal. seat will be vacant, and the conflagration will come as the result of the murder of a prince. Seven na- tions will rise against the eagle with one head.and the eagle with two heads, The birds will defend themselves fu: riously and viciously with their talons, and their wings will protect their peo- ples.. A prince from their very midst, @ sovereign who mounts his horse from the wrong side, will be encom: passed by ‘a wall of enemies. His slogan will be ‘Onward with God!’ The Almighty God will lead him from vic tory to victory and many will meet _,their'death. “There will be wagons without ‘horses, and fiery dragons will fly through the air dropping fire and sul- iphur and destroying cities and vil- jlages, The people will turn to God. ,The terrible war will last three years jand five months, The time will comé ‘when food can neither be sold nor bought, and bread’ will be carefully distributed. The seas will be tinged i with: blood and men will lie in wait un- ider the waves for thejr prey.” i America’s Entry Foretold. Here follows a reference to Amert- ca,<which was in those times often re ferred to-as the “country of the seven stars.” * “The people of the Seven Stars will attack the ring of steel and suddenly fall upon the bearded nation in the rear and rend it in twain. The whole of the lower Rhine will tremble, but nevertheless will endure to the end. “The land to the west will be one vast desolation, and the land in the ocean will, with its king, be crushed and suffer all the pangs of hunger. The land of. the bearded people will still endure for a long time to come, and following the war the world will be_united in one great brotherhood, “The victors will carry a cross, and between four small cities and four \steeples of equal height the decisive ‘battle will be fought. Between two linden trees.the victor: will fall upon his ‘knees’ before “his, army, ‘lift © his jhands,to heaven-and:thank God. -Fol- lowing: this: all ‘ungodliness will. disap- | e “indecent ; dances; ‘that; pre- ipeat * \valled’ before the’ war’ will be seen no! more, and God will reign in church, jstate and family. ' “Phe war will commence when the igrain is ripening and will reach its |height when the cherries bloom for the |third time. Peace will be consummat- ‘ed by the prince in time for the Christ- mas mass.” All German newspapers have com mented on this amazing prophecy. “It is remarkable,” says one paper, “how accurately this monk has predict- ed events as they have thus far occur- red. We sincerely hope that the longed-for peace will come, as he says, in order that we all may breathe free- ly again.” ‘Woman Worked as Farmhand.

However, we cannot prom- ise them doughnuts and jam, and to this exttent they will be obliged to |recede from their former standards ‘of living. They probably will become reconciled to this, for soldiering is ever a risky business. Above all they will find comfort in the thought that they are rendering their almighty president, Mr. Wilson, valuable ser- vices, inasmuch as it is asserted he is anxious to obtain reliable informa- tion concerning conditions and senti- ments in belligerent countries.
