The Battle of Armageddon of the

prophetical Interpretation. by the war

lypse he interprets to denote "the great
social and political revolution which must
necessarily be brought about by such
war" for he is doubtful il ANY form Of
government will be left in Europe"
After the Battle OF Armageddon, how
ever, Mr.. ALLAN sees only the prospect
Of a veritable Golden Age. The -millen-

we arc told in fgurative language, the
beast and the false prophet will both be

Of the Apocalyptic vision, over which
Scriptural commentators have puzzled
themselves for many centuries. that MIR.
ANDREW ALLAN confidently presents as
at last complete and final solution in
the pages of the unsentimental and unbe-
lieving Westminster Review. He offers it,
too, at a time when dangerous European
trouble is feared by the timid because of
signs of storm in the Balkans Nor can
it be doubted that Mr.. ANDREW ALLAN
sees as for into the mystery of the future
as it is possible for man to extend his
vision. Unfortunately, that sure fore
sight is not one Of the gifts of the gods
to mortal man.

LIFEBOATS LAUNCHED BY troll
LEY.
Might he nun Out Over water Beyond
the Surf Line.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: Your
recent editorial on "Lifeboats and Tugs"
brings to mind the western coast Of South
America. where many towns are situated on
a mere indentation Of the coast-line instead
of a harbor. and the long Pacific rollers daily
present nearly as much difficulty to launching
4 boat as is encountered during storm on
the Jersey coast
The method used is as follows. The surf boats
are built of the best oak with numerous and
very strong ribs and are very deep and
pointed at both ends. like canoes. At both
ends are heavy pulley blocks. through which
runs, a. two-inch hawser. the shore end Of
sea end to a group of piles beyond the line OF
the worst OF the shore breakers Then the
boat is dragged foot by foot into water deep
enough to float her. Owing to their peculiar
construction and the skill OF the natives. these
boat Is are almost never capsized in water even
moderately deep.
Followin this idea. might not some such
arrangement. more elaborate even, be possible
on our Jersey coast?
By use Of a powerful windlass and wire
cable, attached to a sufficiently strong tower,
the boat might even be run. as on trolley,
to touch the water only when beyond the
outermost and heaviest breakers.

The Battle Of Armageddon.

An article in the Westminster RepteD
for August is remarkable because OF its
theme and the view it presents, and also
because Of it's appearance in that lib
eral and "free-thinking" magazine The
paper is by ANDREW ALLAN and 1t con-
sists Of a novel Interpretation Of the
prophecies in the Book of Revelation.
The beast with seven heads and ten
horns in the Apocalyptic vision is usually
interpreted as a type Of the Roman
Empire and, by Protestant writers, of
the spiritual Rome, or the Roman Catholic
Church. Mr.. ALLAN rejects both of these
interpretations in favor of "a wider and
non-ecclesiastical Interpretation OF the
vision" We shall not undertake to fol-
low all the processes and details Of his
prophetic Interpretation, but will merely
give the general results.
The seven heads of the beast he takes
to represent the warlike empires
Assyria, Persia, PhBnicia or Carthage,
Greece, Rome and the Moslem. Five of
these had already fallen when the Apoca-
lypse was written, Rome was in the
zenith of its power and the Mohammedan
Empire was yet to come.
The Prophet DANIEL, in a somewhat
similar vision, saw beast with ten
horns, but, apparently, only one head.
This beast also has been identified by
commentators as prefguring Rome, and
the horns are identified by them with
the ten kingdoms which took the place of
the Roman Empire. These kingdoms at
the present day, Mr. ALLAN thinks, are
represented by the European kingdoms
of Spain, Portugal France, Belgium and
Holland, Denmark, Norway and Sweden,
Germany, Austria, Italy. and Russia.
DANIEL also saw "a little horn before
whom three of the first horns were
plucked up by the roots" This little
horn Mr. ALLAN Identifies as "undoubt-
edly Britain" and the reference to
the plucking up he interprets to have
been to "the overthrow Of the naval
power of Holland, France and Spain, by
which Britain gained the supremacy Of
the seas. Seven warli!se horns are left,
for the three subdued on the sea are still
powerful on land; and the seven he EMU
merates as Russia, Italy Spain, France,
Germany, Austria and Holland, with Brit
ain as "the eighth horn or member Of
the European military concert
In the ApOcalyptio vision another
beast came up out of the earth with two
horns, like a lamb, but speaking like a
dragon. This beast Mr.. ALLAN, by "a
very little ingenuity" Identifies with
Great Britain, and he makes it symbol
or personification of trade, as the first
was Of war. The two horns in his view
may be appropriately named Buy and
Sell. All Of the seven empires typified
in the Apocalyptic vision took the sword
and they have all persisted by the sword"
But Great Britain, the beast which was
and is not and yet is, A" Britain, the per-
sonication Of international trade "hav-
ing practically invented it and carried it

The Unpublished Cuban Accounts

1t is now sixteen months since the
United State, withdrew from the island of
Cuba and terminated its trusteeship Of
that country. Yet no officially certified
statement has been made public so far re-
gariing its disposal of the funds received
during the period of intervention. The
only figures already submitted to the
public or to the Cuban Government are
seemingly so inextricably confused and
inconsistent as TO make them practically
valueess.
From inquiries which we have made,
it is evident that the responsibility for
this unwarranted and unbuslnesslike
delay rests with Congress The War
Department and the Insular Division are
apparently blamecss in the matter
That appears in the following record
of the steps taken:
Under date of Dec. 10, 1902, the Secre-
tary Of War mailed to the President
of the United States Senate letter
and four separate packages contain
ing detailed statements of receipts and
expenditures in Cuba These formed the
final official report Of our administration
of Cuban finances
On Jan. II and Jan. 10, 1903, the Secre-
tary Of War wrote TO the chairman of the
Committee on Relations with Cuba urg-
ing the printing of the Cuban accounts.
He urged the desirability of this for the
reason that the Director of the Census
desired the use of the fireproof room in
the Census Building where the original
papers were stored and also the addi-
tional reason that. inasmuch as the War
Department had no suitably protected
place for their storage, it was most de-
sirable that they be put into printed
form and distributed This would form "A
safeguard, in the event of possible de-
struction of the original vouchers and
receipts, against any charges or criticism
which might arise. Mr. Roof also stated
that these documents formed complete
record of our stewardship in Cuba, and
that upon them il based the official &C
counting OF the military government
