Stockholm, Nov. 20.—The Ameri- can, French and British representa- tives at the border station of Tornea, opposite Haparanda have been stripped of all actual power by Fin- nish revolutionists, assisted by Rus- sian soldiers. At the outset the revo- lutionists refused to recognize any diplomatic privileges and detained properly accredited couriers. (They were induced finally to desist from this attitude, but they are bringing all conceivable obstructionist tactics to bear to compel the Entente repre- sentatives to recognize them. Recog- nition has been refused flatly. y The revolutionists visited the Swed- ish consulate at Tornea and demand- ed that the consul place his automo- bile at their disposal and he himself act as their chauffeur. This he re- fused to do. The revolutionists then tore the Swedish flag from the con- sulate and departed, declaring that they needed no foreign consuls in Tornea. Ira Nelson Morris, minister, learns from a competent source that Petrograd was quiet up to Friday night and that the police were guarding the various legations and embassies. Fighting in Moscow has ceased. It is reported to have been very san- guinary. Estimate of the number of dead reaching as high as 4,000. A general exodus of Americans from Petrograd and Moscow by way of Siberia has been arranged for the next few days. _Minister Morris is the only foreign diplomatic representative here who has had anything except the most scattered reports since the beginning of the present situation in Russia. At the outbreak of the trouble he sent in- structions to all possible points that he be kept informed fully, with a re- sult that even Russian legations have been almost-dependent upon him for knowledge of events in Russia. the American Loyal to Kerensky. Petrograd, Monday, Nov. 19.—Two army corps loyal to the committee for the salvation of the revolution, sta- tioned at Luga, report that Premier Kerensky is with them. There is no confirmation. After the defeat of his forces at Gatchina, Premier Kerensky was faced with the proposed desertion of the bulk of his army. The premier ceiving the paper and believe me it is good to sit down and read the news from home even if it is a month old. It takes about twenty-five days for newspapers to get over here. “If You care to send anything to the boys, don't send money for they don’t need it but send cigarettes and tobacco. As I said before it is im- possible to get American tobacco here and that is the only kind that is worthy a darn anyway. Be suro| and pack it in a good wooden box and nail the cover down good and tight. If addressed to me I will see that it is equally divided. If you will answer this I will write once in a while and let you know as much as .1 can without going up against . the censor. “GRISWOLD.” Immediately upon receipt of this letter this afternoon Mayor Quigley held a conference with George P. Spear, treasurer of the War Bureau, and W. W. Leland, head of the Sol- diers’ Tobacco fund, relative to send- ing an immediate shipment of several hundred packages of cigarettes and tobacco to the boys in France.

Luga is on the Petrograd-Pskoff railway about 90 miles south of Pet- rograd and sixty miles south of Gatch- ina. Novelist Missing. Paris, Nov. 20.—Nothing has been heard of Gabriele D’Annunzio, the Ttalian poet and novelist, for nine days, and it is feared that he has fallen into the hands of the enemy, according to reports in Italian newspapers received by the Figaro. Amcerican War Council. London, Nov. 20.—None of the nu- merous allied war counsils which have occurred in the past three years, have occasioned the interest attending to- day’s meeting of the American war mission and the British war cabinet for tightening the links that chaln the Anglo-American war efforts. The scene is the dingy old residence in ! Downing street, which has served the prime ministers of>many generations as both home and office, and the is the council chamber where the cabinets meet and where the des- tinies of the empire have been shaped since the days of the Amecrican revo- lution. Lord Reading, the lord chief jus- tice, will preside, with Andrew Bonar Law, British chancellor of the ex- chequer, and Oscar T. Crosby, assist- ant secretary of the ‘American treas- ury, at the table beside him. The , military and naval heads of both gov- ernments and officials representing other departments of war work will be grouped together. Premier Liloyd George planned to be present for the purpose of answering questions. The general work of the meeting consti- tutes the taking of stock of the re- sources and needs of both countries, and to some extent, of the continental allies. Transferring Troops. Copenhagen, Nov. 20.—Reports from several sources in Germany bear out the assumption that, taking ad- vantage of the situation in Russia, the German government is making heavy transfers of troops from the Russian front. Only part of them appear to be going to Italy, where the front is too narrow to permit of the use of great masses, and a hlow by von Hindenburg at some other point, in the way of a diversion, may perhaps be expected. 5 Some troops are reported to have been moved to the western front, but this is not necessarily significant, as Fleld Marshal Haig's pounding tactics necessitate frequent reliefs for ex- hausted German divisions. German newspapers discuss with suspicious frankness and avidity the prospect of an offensive on the Salon- iki front. but have never a word to about the obvious chance of a smashing blow at Rumania in an ef- fort to end the resistance of that nation. As for Italy, if the Austrians land Germans find the reinforced Ttalian army too hard a nut to attempt to crack, the Central Powers can eas- ily and quickly change to the defen- sive on a strong line for the purpose say to force a decision on some other se- lected front with the bulk of their strategic reserves. Submarine Destroyed. Paris, Nov. 20.—A German subma- rine was destroyed at the time the French steamship Medi, with a cargo of munitions, was torpedoed in the western Mediterranean on September 23, with a loss of 250 lives, says a despatch from Algiers to the Journal. The liner Biskra was proceeding with a convoy of French and British sol- diers among which was the Medi, leading the line. The Medi was tor- pedoed without warning before she was able to bring her guns to bear on the submarine. Serious Rioting. London, Nov. 20.—Serious rioting took place in Berlin last Sunday, ac- cording to despatches received by the Wireless Press and the IExchange Tel- egraph company from Amsterdam. The message says the fighting be- tween the mob and the police was very fierce and that there was a heavy casualty list as the police used their firearms.

YELLOW PARCHNENT FORETELLS OF WAR Is Discovered in _Old Monastery Which Is Razed in Wismar Copenhagen, Nov. 20.—In the raz- ing of the old monastery of the Holy Ghost in Wismar, Mecklenburg, an | old Bible was found which contained | a remarkable prophecy regarding the present world war. It was written in 1701 by one of the monks on parch- ment that is now yellow and seared with age. It is now on exhibition in a glass case in the city hall of Wis- mar. So much publicity has been given to the prophecy in the papers of Germany that thousands have | flocked to Wismar to see i The prophecy not only gives the cause of the war, but also indicates the countries -engaged. Up to the present it has been amazingly accu- rate. It does not exactly state that Fermany will be victorious, but indi- cates how long the war will last, when | the decisive battle will be fought, and | where and when peace will come, and adds that Germany will continue to ! exist as a power for ma A translation of the wr the | parchment is as follows: ing on “When Malignity and Hatred Rule.” | “Lord, have mercy on thy people despite 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. Seveni nations will rise against the eagle with one head and the eagle with twa | heads. The birds will defend them- 1 selves furiously and viciously with their talons, and their wings will A prince from their very midst, a sovereign Who mounts his horse from the wrong side, will be encompassed by a wall of cnemies. His slogan will be ‘Onward with God!" The Almighty God will lead him from victory 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- phur and destroying cities and vil- lages. The people will turn to God. The terrible war will last three years and five months. The time will come ! when food can neither be sold nor bought, and bread will' be carefully | distributed. The seas will be tinged with blood and men will lie in wait under the waves for their prey.” IHere follows & reference to Ameri- ca, which was in those times often re- ferred to as the ‘‘country of the seven “The people of the Seven Stars will attack the ring of steel and suddenly | fall upon the bearded nation in the rear and 1 1 it in twain The whole of the lower Ithine will tremble, but | nevertheless will endure to the end. “The land to the west will be one and the land in (ht“ 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 warld will | united in one great brotherhood. “The victors will carry a cross, and between four small cities and four steeples of equal height the decisive Between two linden trees the victor will fall upon his knees before his army, lift his hands to heaven and thank Gad. Fol- lowing this all ungodliness will disap- pear; the indccent dances that pre- vailea before the war will be seen no more, and God will reign in church, state and family. “The war will commence when the grain §s ripening and will reach its height whef the cherries bloom for the third time. Peace will be con- summated by the prince in time for the Christmas mas: All German newspapers have com- mented on this amazing prophecy. “It is remarkable,” savs one paper, “hew accurately this monk has pre- dicted.

Bargain Hunters Break Window in Raphael's Store, A crash followed by a sprinkling of glass on the pavement and the large plate glass window in front of Raphael’s department at 382 Main street store was scattered into a thousand bits today. The pressure brought against the window by the swaying masses of humanity anxiously crowding to get inside the store cul- minated when the glass was broken. The accident took place about 9:30 this morning when hundreds of New Britain’s population hurried to Ra- phael’s store where a fire, smoke and ‘water sale was in progress. It was announced earlier in the week that the sale would begin in the early hours of the morning and that tue store would be open for busl- nes§ at 9 o’clock. Through unforseen developments it was impossible to start the sale at 9 o’clock and as a result a crowd formed in front of the doors which increased constantly. The doors were opened in the neighbar- hood of 10 o’clock and in the rush Wwhich could not be stopped the plate glass window although protected by a fence was hurled to the pavement in the onslaught. / The police were called inta action and this afternoon six bluecoated guardians of the law were stationed at the store to prevent further disorder.
