Soldiers Who Have Gone Into Certain bat"
tic, Perfectly Conscious of Their Fate.
"Soldiers had strange premonitions OF,
death before going into battle during
the war;" said an old soldier. II could
not tell youhow many times have seen
nv comrades forotell their death. They
seemed to feel it was coming and Went
into battle fully prepared to meet their
end. So common was this, and SO regu',
larly did death follow when foretold, thas.
Isofton heard officers upbraiding their
men for speaking Of death, remarklng:,
"A man never speaks of a fear OF death
without death following shortly after.
It's like the smallpox; the one chat
