The Poland Campaign.

The presence OF both car and kaiser on the
battle-ground in northern Poland emphasizes the
Importance attaching TO this campaign. The
inference IL plain that both sides are awaiting
the outcome with more than ordinary concern.
While not TO be regarded as decisive for the
whole war, It is evidently to be OF crucial char
acter. and II may yet become turning point in
the current OF the conflict.
While the Russian and German rulers are at
the front in Poland. the Belgian king continues
at the head of HIS army, and now the British
sovereign and the president OF France are giving
personal oversight TO their troops. II may, there
fore, be inferred that all look for something in
the nature Of climax, and yet under the cir
cumstances. considering the approach of severe
weather. what would be more natural than this
effort to give the inspiraiona effect Of imperial
presences to the respective troops? Nevertheless,
more than usual significance must be accorded TO
the coincident appearance OF car and kaiser in
the Polish battle arena

SOUTH OMAHA. Dec. 3,--To the Editor
OF The Bee: On the morning after cleo
lion in 1912 Mr.. George c. Haskins' now
deceased, who was fine old gentleman
of the old school democrats, asked me
what I thought Of the great democratic
victory. I told him that thought as l had
always thought. that the democratic
party had never run this country right,
and that they never will. On Monday of
this week a workingman was in my
office and he said he was in front OF the
Cildahv plant at o'clock in the morn-
ing OF that day and that fully $500 men
we're there trying to get Jobs Another
workingman who works at the Cudahy
plant and who was formerly a Democrat
sail TO me on Monday evening that this
condition always prevails when the demo-
Gratis are in power.
The languishing Industries will not re-
viye as they ought to revive until after
the election of 1916, when the republican
party Will come back to power with one
of the greatest sweeps in the history Of
the country, for the people are tired OF
democratic failures as they are always,
after trying them only twenty-one
months, since Wilson's Inauguration.
There arc millions in the country today
suffering for food and clothing on ac-
count of the democratic policies who
need assistance. and they should be
looked after first. and let the Germans
take care Of the Belgians. The repub-
licans who voted for Roosevelt in 1912 will
not repeat the error In 1916, for they will
all be back where they belong. with
the republican party in power today we
would not see the stagnation that exists
In all parts of the country And we
would not now be compelled to pay
war tax In times OF peace In this country
The war excuse fooled goOa many peo-
pie this year. but It will not fool them

AncIent Prophecy comins True.

Ancient Prophecy Coming True.
COUNCIL BLUFFS. Dec. s.-To the
Editor of The Bee: According to the
once noted French sage Nostradamus, the
present great war will continue four years
eliminating in the appearance OF q world
law-giver.
Whether Nostradamus wrote down hts
prophecies in 1866 or not does not matter
They were written before the event-for
they were printed before the event, read
before the event and utterly unbeueved
and forgotten-all before the event His
prophecies We're republished by NJ. Bareste
about 1870 I'VE cannot deny that some
person. be he who he may, had an amaz-
ingly clear perception OF what is going
on just now, The principal personages
have taken their places on the stage
Nostradamus was born in 1903 and died
In 1855. having been the companion of
many great men and women. and having
fcreseen the fall of the temporal power.
His contemporary. OlIvarius. was also IA
NOUS as seer. The prophecies OF these
two became mixed together. like the writ
ings of Bacon and Shakespeare, as repre-
scented by J. ]. Points.
BY one or the other of these the career
Of Napoleon was vividly foretoId And
then comes the end of the perpetual Euro
pean conflicts. A new combatant appears
on the scene, who bears for his sign the

mistake, but about 15o years ago this thing happened-not to one town, but to three towns in Vermont. At that time T grant of land was made by New Hamp- shire to some Connecticut settlers. This tract. then. as now, was divided into three ownships-Burlington on the hill- side of Lake Champain; Colchester, just north, and Willlston, east. Tho three towns were chartered on the same day. and 1t was at this time that tho names were mixed
 The Burling family took up their land In the northern section (Colchester), and 1t seems to be true that their name was to have been given to the town. so that 1t should have been called Burlington Other settlers took up the eastern por- ton (Williston), and tho rest remained in the part by the lake Burlington. Among these last was the Willis family, and there Is evidence that they expected to call the city Willlston. However there was so much confusion In the entering Of the records that tho town where the Burlings settled was called Colchester the the town of the Willis family was named Burlington. while the town to the east was called Wiliston. And so they have remained to this day.
