whom the bugbear Of probable inva-

anxiety,
The last four lines Of the Seer's
rhymed intimation of coming disaster
deserves consideration together:
"Whe Neptune's back with stripes Is red
The sickly Lion shall hide his head.
When seven and six shall make but one
The Lions might shall 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 wal 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

furthest away from the sun, being

the last few years astronomers have

like Saturn, has red or bright belta

that we may expect "The sickly hon

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
seouent history of the three nations
American, French and English. When
independence was recognized, the sym
boil of the United States appeared in
the form of a bald eagle, "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
1t 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
with the war, and, indeed, IN interest
ing unconditional page, bordering on
occasional attitude, falls into the his
tory Of the. puritanic section Of oui
country. The invasion Of Canada was
a decided failure. Hull's surrender
has always been considered unsatisfac
tory and totally unnecessary; he wal
court-martialed and sentenced to b.
shot; but his Revolutionary military
record saved his life and he vas par
doned. The brave Captain Lawrenc'
