COUNT LEO TOLSTOI FORETOID OF WAR AND END NOT YET

about 1919, set hy the torch of tht
first arm in the countries of south
eastern Europe. II will develop intt
a destruction and calamity In 1919. II
that year I see all Europe in flames
and bleeding | hear the lamentations
of huge hattlefields.
"But about the year 1915 the strange
figure from the noTth--a nov Napo

Race Wars strangle Progress.
''0nly small spots here and there
