ELwoOD, Ind, Nov. 2O-In an inter-
view concerning the Adventist belief
regarding the present Turkish troubles
in relation to prophecy, Elder w. II.
Ebert of Frankton, Ind, one of the
leading opponents of that belief, said:
'We Seventh Day Adventists believe
the present Turkish crisis foreshadows
the end of the world, the destruction
of it's Kingdoms and the second COM
ing of Jesus Christ. We base
our belief upon the fulfllment of
prophecy and see in the present move
ment of nations the gathering together
of the nations to fight the last great
battle of the centuries-the battle of
Armageddon. The Ottoman power, or
Mohammedan power, is the one
meant in the ninth chapter of
Revelations, which was to be
given power to torment men FIVE
months, or $50 years in prophetic
time, when il was to gain supremacy
and be given power to kill men 39l
years and fifteen days The Ottoman
power fullills all these conditions for
it was founded by Gilman July 27,
1909, and for 100 years tormented men
when it became supreme until August
IL, 1910. The nations are now moving
towards that battlefield, and all their
terrible implements of modern war
fare will be there when the seventh
vial is poured, when the battle of
Armageddon, which is described in sym
bols in Revelations xvi, 1871, will re-
suit The United States will probably
not be represented in this battle. but
will be among the remnant left to be
destroyed afterward. When this battle
occurs, as it shortly must, its climax
will be the second coming of Christ.
The end of all things is even now at
the door, and the nations cannot long
strangle the Turkish complications, as
the unrest of nations is urging them
on to bring about these things, for fear
of which nations are trembling. The
time is near; watch"
Many Bold Land SwIndles.
SIOUX CITY, Ia, Nov. 90 F. B. Rob-
inson, an attorney of this place, has
just succeeded in unearthing the oper-
atoms of Des Moines concern which
for some time has been engaged on a
large scale in the manufacture and
sale of bogus deeds and mortgages.
The company usually selected piece
of land in some remote district, gener-
ally in q swampy or heavily timbered
country, the exact location of which
could not be proved except at great
expense. prepared deed covering it
and exchanged the deed for encum-
bered land which the owner was
about to lose and for which he
was glad to get whatever the
company was willing to give
him. The concern then paid off
the encumhrance on the property so
secured and sold it at profit. The
locations usually selected for the
spurious deeds were Christian county,
Mo-, Washington county, Ca, and Wy
oming county, W. Va. The deeds had
every appearance of being regular and
were accompanied by abstracts of title
purporting to cover the entire period
from the time of the grant by the gov
eminent to the day of the transfer by
the company.
