“The kings of earth and their arm- ies are ered together to make war, the nations are filled with the wine of wrath and nation shall rise against natfon, but the end is not yet.

Customs, creeds,” cruelty are passing. Vision, fafth, service are rising full orbed. This cataclysm of nations is the soul of . humanity shattering its chrysalis into a diviner freedom. Amid the crash of ethpires a new civilization is being born. The Calvary of civiliza- tion -is being enacted. But the end is not vet. The flame of war is to en- circle the earth. Nation is to rise against nation. The world's war is to be fulfilled. Into the frightful vor- tex Greece, Norway and Holland will be drawn, and Sweden rent with strife. The great shocks of war are et to come. The tribunal of govern- ments has set, the vintage of nations is gathered, the blood from the wine- press of ‘this war shall cleanse the héart of the world and shall become the everlasting covenant of peace. There was an _ultimate hour when America could have saved this world tragedy, now she cannot save herself from it. Will Again Enter Mexico. The United States by force of arms will again enter Mexico and will es- tablish a provisional government. Caranza and his regime will pass awa: Villa will not be alive Septem- ber 15th. A relative of a former rul- er will rise to _prominence in the new government. This new order in Mex- fco will open an El1 Dorado for Amer- jcan capital and enterprise beyond the TUtopian dreams of the most san- guine, “the fatness of the earth and the dew of heaven.” Our nation faces @n international crisis. Startling de- fiance of American rights, violation of agreements and the imperilling of American citizens will arise. Plots of violence against those high in au- thority will be discovered. The som- nolent conscience of America will be awakened. Her sword will be drawn, not to kill nor destroy, but to give| life and to serve her brother nations. She shall rise to dominion and shall break . the yoke of -oppression off the neck of the crushed and defenseless, she shall stay the sword that killeth and set free those in captivity. Amer- ica is the vision of God, her people shall not perish, but shall restore the wasted nations and rebuild#the cities of desolation. Again I declare that the German Emperoer will not live to see the end of this war, amid the roar of the world’s artillery fate shall seal his @estiny as a mighty king of battles. Deep sorrows will shadow his royal family. The royal circles of Russia, Italy, Greece and Spain suffer. The rule of Prussia and the Ottoman Em- pire will pass with the close of the war. The thrones of the far East will be shaken. Overtures of peace have failed, they shall fail until the will of God shail rule the conscience of nations. Na- tions cannot make peace with war in their - hearts. This war is the disil- lusionment of the world that might makes right, the rebuke of nations that lift the sword to kill and that lead into captivity. In the first cycle of the year, our nation will be pro- foundly aroused, she will offer her sovereign blood at the altars of uni- versal sacrifices. ~ No neutral nation shall mediate peace. The covenant of peace shall rise out of a sea of biood. It will not restere former systems cn- cumbered with human injustice. This war will not divide the world, it will unite it. The out-pouring of the blood of millions is not Godless chaos, but divine cosmos. It is not to patch up an old world but to bring the glory of mations Into a new world. It is not. to turn back the march of human progress but is an eternal purpose setting forward the horologe of Time. Expedient peace plans will be num- erous, but’they will mean revolution, a severer chaStisement and deeper humiliation. Nations will lay down their arms as the leaves of another autumn fall, but lasting peace is not indexed before 1919. A peace that redeems, atones and justifies. Great Naval Activity. Great naval activity among the war fleets of Europe will come in_the early. part of the year, decisive bat- tles will be fought and naval warfare undergo many changes. Look for a titanic policy of aggrassiveness on the part ‘of England. The fusion of young blood into new methods. The army and navy of our nation will un- PYTHAGOREAN CODE BY DR.

Gigantic_industries will stagger the world with the figures of their tran- sactions. .The era of America's ma- terial glory is in the ascendant “the | fatness of the earth”. Unparelleled philantropies will be poured out. In- stitutions of human betterment will be founded. America will finance the reconstruction of the world. Victories and Earthquakes. The army and navy of England, the army of France and the forces of Italy will achieve _ brilliant and _decisive ictories. Destructive earthquakes are indexéd in the first and third cy- ¢le of the year for Japan, Italy and America. Sea disasters will sadden G rogany, England and America. e author prophesied the world's war in 1912, and since has had forty- eight important fulflllments of these prophesies. In his prophecies of 1916 was the death of the Emperor of Aus- tria, the crisis of Greece, the contin- ued revolutions in Mexico, the activ- ity of American troops, the epidemic of infantile paralysis, the great crops of wheat and corn, the great advance of cotton and coal, the change in Eng- land’s cabinet, the success of the arm- ies of France and Italy, the interna- tional crisis of the United States and the great wave of prosperity. NNHNNONHANHHNNMNIIHIHIHNNNNNNON Cold Doesn’t Bother Zepps. A recent night, when two Zeppelins came to grief, was the coldest since last winter; but those who expressed surprise that the baby-killers should venture on a trip under such Arctic conditions know little about the up- per air. The fact that the tempera- ture -decreases fairly uniformly up to a height of about 30,000 feet has been known for many years by means of automati® registering apparatus sent up in “ballons sondes,” but it has al- so:been’ ascertained that though the temperature at about 10,000 feet is very low—in the neighborhood of 40 degrees of frost—it remains practic- ally constant all the year round.

Those high in authority will be in peril. Great agi- tations will shock the nation. _ But over against this will be imense busi- ness enterprise; high markets, enor- mous transportations, and a swelling prosperity. Money will be simply poured out in all directions. Great revenues will be raised by the gov- ernment. The year will bring acute tension in Another remarkable discovery is that at a certain height, varying from 25,000 feet to 35000 feet, according to thé locality, the thermometer ceases to fall with increasing height. It drops to about —68 degrees®F. (100 degrees of frost and remains there while the “ballons sondes” rise for quite another mile.
