whom the bugbear of probable inva.
sion by. Germany is ever a matter of
anxiety.
The last four lines of the Seer's
rhymed intimation of coming disaster
deserves consideration together:
when Neptune's PACK with stripes is red
The sickly Lion shall hide his head.
When seven and six shall make but one
The Lions might h be undone."
Possibly these four lines foretell ter
rible battles on the sea, Neptune be-
ing the NEUROLOGICAL god of the ocean,
and prophesy a naval war in which
the waters will be literally ablaze with
the red stripes shooting from the
Cannons' mouths. Or reference may
be had to the planet Neptune, instead
Of the sea god-that heavenly body
which of our planetary system is the
furthest away from the sun, being
2,745,9 s 900 miles distant. Within
the last few years astronomers have
expressed the opinion that Neptune,
like Saturn, has red or bright belts
about it, and If the telescopes can be
made more powerful these red
stripes" will be in view. Is it then
that we may expect "The sickly lion
shall hide his head?"
Or it may be that the last two lines
refer to the United States, or else
indicate the death and numerical des-
ignation of King Edward VII. In the
first instance seven and six make 13,
the generally accepted symbol of the
United States represented in the
stripes of the flag. when seven and
six shall make but one" might stand
for the time when all the territories
now under our flag shall all be admit.
ted to statehood, and all these new
governments be represented on GU.

Or the lines might have direct refer
ence to KingsEdward's death. The
seven and six may well indicate Eng.
lands Seventh Edward" or SPELLING
out the two words we have: 8 /, e 9,
V 8, E 4, N 5, T 6, H Z; and E 1, D 9,
w 3, A 4, r 5, D 6-showing clearly
the seven and six numerals formin-
one king. Upon his death ."The (En.-
lish) Lions might shall be undone.'
In connection with the final predic
ton it is not too much t say that
England has not for years been in such
an unsettled state politically or called
upon to face SO many perplexing prob
lens.

Peacemaker, sleeps with his fathers

The Lion shall crouch beneath their
might
This could be accepted as referring
to the united forces of the %colonists
(the -Dove), and the French (the
Cock, at the final engagement before
Yorktown. This siege and battle re-
suited in the American victory, and
therefore the union of Americans and
French resulted in the Lion" being
compelled to crouch beneath their
might"
When the Cock shall guard the Eagles
nest,
The stars shall rise-all in the West"
Here we find an allusion to the sub
sequent history of the three nations
American, French and English. When
Dol of the United States appeared in
the form of a bald eagle, 1.-THE bird of
freedom and imperial power.
The. second test of martial power be-
tween American and England came in
1912, and on both sea and land we
suffered severe losses, the capitol at
| Washington being destroyed by the en-
envy and the city itself falling into pos
session of the British. But the shield
ing attitude of France toward the
eagles nest (the young republic rep
resented by the American eagle) made
it possible for the states to attain vic
tory from what the world had almost
pronounced defeat. The New Eng.
land states were never in sympathy

tory OF the puritanic section Of our
country. The invasion of Canada was
a decided failure. Hulls surrender
has always been considered unsatisfacs

court-martialed and sentenced to be
shot; but his Revolutionary military
record saved his life and he was par
doned. The brave Captain Lawrence

On the Chesapeake gave as his dying
words the order, Don't give up the
ship" but fate compelled his crew to
first American frigate to sail around
Cape Horn into the Pacific, found q
British vessel waiting for her, and in
the battle which ensued the enemy
came off victorious. In the midst of
these disasters the New Englanders
were disregarding by a majority of
votes what the national government at
Washington decreed. They quietly and
secretly published a most unsatisfac-
tory report that was supposed by
many to have had it's origin in an at
tempt to break up the federal power.
The south and middle west were 10y
al to the federal edicts. Jackson's mar
velous victory at New Orleans, while
possibly one of the most pronounced
military successes in the history Of
civilized warfare, was achieved after
peace had been declared, and hence
cannot be said to have had any bear
ing on the ending of hostilities. The
terms of peace were largely brought
about through French influence, as be-
cause If the military conditions ex-
listing between England and France,
the British found 1t impolitic to fol-
low up the American campaign, al
though the war was in their favor.
Here, then, Is an apt illustration OF
how the French (the Cock) protected
the Eagles nest (America). So much
for the frs :, line; the next is espe-
| cially prophetic:
the stars began to gather in our flag,
and they all came from the west, for
| it should be remembered that in those
days any country lying on the sun
down side of the Allegheny mountains
was considered west. Hence the open
ing up OF the great western terri.
tory with the immediate admission OF
the new states brought forth the
rise Of the stars all in the west" un'
til this day, when the flag has since

when ships above the clouds shall sal
The Lions strength shall surely fail"
1t requires no great stretch of i'm
agination to apply the above lines te
the present era when aviators are the
heroes of the hour, and long continued
flights in airships have ceased to be
a novelty. And n might take the
failing of the lions strength" to re

The Same Lord.

The Lord we have known as laying
down his life for us is the same Lord
we have to do with every day Of our
life, and all his dealings with US are
on the same principles Of grace. The

possesses an heraldic sketch designed
by Franklin while in Europe, actu-
ally indicating England's cruel.
though motherly treatment Of her
children, the thirteen colonies, indicat-
ing the French concern in the vel
fare of these struggling dependencies
"a remarkable similarity to the lines
under consideration. In these her.
aldic pictures Franklin represents the
colonies as of the calm and peaceful
animal kingdom, the crane and also
the dove. In fact a committee dele
gated to devise a signature for the
the goddess of America (Columbia)
have upon her dexter hand perched a
dove argent (white)." While the elab-
crate design was not accepted by the
continental congress it indicates that
in these days the colonies were often
symbolized by a dove, in fact, that
p~eace-loving and minding your own
business was finally accepted in the
symbolism of the "olive branch" in
the right talon of the adopted eagle
also indicated in the peace tincture of
the American shield which according
to law is an argent (White or silvery)

red stripes.
When men like moles work underground
The Lion a Virgin true shall wound"
During the last years of the Revolu-
ton the continentals frequently at
tempted to make approaches to the
camp and redoubts Of the British by
underground passages. This tunnel
method was evidently a French sug-
gestion, as it was a part of early
French military tactics. The digging
in the earth is also well illustrated. in
the winter headquarters at Valley
Forge, where the telling Of trees to
establish their log cabins was slow
work; and when the cold winter set in
many were the holes in the ground
that served as lodgings for the freez-
ing troops. The line, 1.-The Lion a
Virgin true shall wound" might be
taken as a reference to the terrible
massacres, expeditions of plumber and
destruction in Virginia, named the Vir.
gin colony In honor of Queen Eliza
beth. This country Of the virgin was
indeed wounded, for no other section
of the country suffered such bloody
military attacks. It was estimated by
Jefferson that the raids of Benedict
Arnold through Virginia cost the
enormous sum of $4,000, 900 in prop
erty. besides the thousands of lives
sacrificed under conditions of the
most frightful torture.
