How an Army Equipped With4the Proper
Occult Forces Would Be Able to Fright
en- the Enemy to Death or to Hypnotic
His Forces With the Idea That He Must
Run to Beat the Cars.
p. p. Martin of Washington avenue N
has evolved a plan that provides for an
army that would be practically invinci-
BILE and possessed of an intelligence corps
that would be able to find out almost any
thing. Mr.. Martin complains that the
military experts have fallen behind the
times and do mot make use of the re-
sources that modern knowledge has placed
at their command.
AS an example Of what might be done,
first. every army Should have a Theosophi- a
cal brigade, the members Of which would
be present In their astral bodies only and
would undoubtedly be of immense serv-.
ice in skirmishing and bushfighting. The.
theosophical brigade could also advance.
fearlessly on "a position defended by artil-
Iery, for the heavy shot and shell would
tear thru them without harm. The steady
advance of the brigade of astrals, without
the loss of a man, would inspire the enemy
with terror, and they would be likely to
abandon their guns and flee, especially.
at night.
Then there should be the Hypnotists'
DIVISION which would be accompanied by
the professors of lypnotisn Just before.
a battle or an engagement the professors
would hypnotic the soldiers into the be-
lief that they could neither be killed.:
wounded nor tired. When the commits.
sariat wagons. are a long way off, the
men should be put under control and con-g
WINGED that they had drawn their ration
and had a pie apiece In addition to this
the of byn in hot Ia
i.should be given commanding position,
with megaphones, and when the enemy
appeared should give them the 7forcible
suggestion that they were scared nearly
! to death and must throw everything aside
! and run. An army with this powerful
division would have decided advantage
| on an enemy. s44Y
Under the direct control Of the Brigadier
Hypnotist should be the; Clairvoyant COM
panies. These should include all the lead
| ing clairvoyants in the country. These
! clear seers should be used to spy out the
enemy's movements. They could also, in
action, place themselves zen rapport with
/ the various generals in the field and so
prevent all mistaken ideas as to what they
| each intended, and in case Of a naval
force being employed they would be found
superior to the wireless telegraph, as the
other side could by no means intercept
their messages.
/ The Mind Readers corps should also be
t employed by the intelligence department to
Tread the minds of the enemy's generals
and ascertain exactly what they were go
ing to do. On the night before the battle
a detail of astrals from the Theosophical
brigade should be sent out to appear to
the enemy's generals as ghosts. Their
duty should be to groan knock on the
walls and prophesy death and disaster on
the following day, thus soaring the gen-
erals, unnerving them, keeping them
raw
! of the coming day
In the face Of an army with these adj
juncts an enemy wouldn't last over night.
