PREACHERS SAY WAR
FORETOLD IN PROPHECY
Elder Barton Declares Stage Is Set
for the Last Great Conflict
to Begin.

The European war was touched on IN
the sermons In many of the churches of
Washington yesterday. In some, special
prayers for peace were offered. while in
others the great war between the nations
was pointed out as the fulfillment of bib
lical prophecies.
That the millennium is not coming, but
is already here. was asserted by Rev.
B. H. Barton in his discourse incidental
to the closing Of the photo-drama of
Creation at the Belasco Theater.
THE human race is just entering the
epoch foretold in the book of Revelations,
when the Lord will make all things
new" he said. May it not be that these
astonishing and unprecedented transfor-
nations seen on every hand are really
the beginning of the millennium"
Elder r. E. Harter, in a sermon at the
tent at 1st street and Randolph place. de-
clared that the stage is about ready for
the last great war drama to begin; the
darkness that now hangs over Europe like
pail will not lift until Armageddon will
close the scenes of this worlds history.
That God Is going to do a speedy work
in warning the world of His coming was
asserted by Prof. Frederick Griggs, head
of the educational d, partment of the Sew
zenith Day Adventist denomination in
North America. in an address at the Ia
koma Park church yesterday.

DOG-MUZZLING ORDER HOLDS.
To Be Continued for Year at Health
Officers Recommendation.

Following receipt of a communication
from Health Officer Woodward express
ing the opinion that there are at all times
one or more dogs afflicted with rabies run
ming at large on the streets of the cap
ital, the District Commissioners today de-
cided to continue for another year the
dog-muzzling order which expires Au-
gust o. The health officers report shows
that during the last fiscal year fifty
three CANNES were reported to the de-
partment as having shown clinical symp-
toms of rabies, and that in thirty-one in
stances the diagnoses were confirmed by
post-mortem examinations made by the
bureau Of animal industry. Last year,
he states. sixty-seven persons residing
in the District and sixty-two residents of
neighboring states took the Pasteur treat
ment.
1.-THE fact should not be lost sight off,
continues the health department head,
that the muzzling order was in force
during the period this record was made,
and, therefore, it is reasonable to be-
lieve that If the order is not renewed
this record will be far worse during the
present year. The continued presence of
rabies in the District of Columbia shows
conclusively that at all times there are
one or more dogs afflicted with this dis
ease running at large on our thorough
fares"

WARM WEATHER LIKELY,
WEATHER BUREAU SAYS
Prediction, However, Is Made That
Tonight Will Be
Cool One.

The cool spell during the latter part
of last week has entirely passed from
this vicinity. and it is predicted by the
weather bureau that the weather about
the middle of the week will be consider
ably warmer.
The temperature yesterday rose to IS
degrees. while this afternoon it was
about the same. Tonight, however, the
prediction is that it will be much cooler.
The weather will continue fair.
No reports have been received from
Europe and western Asia by the weather
bureau, probably owing to the disturbed
political conditions, but pressure dis
tribution over North America, the Pa
cif1c ocean and extreme eastern Asia in
dictates the probability of a week or
more or less cloudiness east of the Rocky
mountains, with local showers Monday
in the middle and north Atlantic states,
and occasionally during the week in the
south Atlantic and east gulf states. In
the central west no precipitation of much
consequence is now indicated, while in
the southwest. the northwest and the
far west generally fair weather will pre-
vail during the week. Temperatures will
average near or somewhat above normal
summer conditions. There are no pres
emit indications of any tropical distrub-
anceS.

Club to Be Undertaken.

Work has been completed on the con-
struction of the bulknead in front of the
Corinthian Yacht Club grounds. on the
Virginia side of the river, at the south
end of the Highway bridge, and the next
