From The Daily Item, May 21.

was only n personal opinion gathered
from the study Of Biblical and secu-
lar history and conditions at the
present time. Bob Jones yesterday af-
terpoon threw some interesting side
NgAts ON the European war situation
when ne made the statement that no
thousht 10 possible that the present
strife among the nations OF the East
srn. hemisphere would result In a di
vision of the nations into the parts
mentioned In the Bible as taking place
prior to thu Jews resettling In Pales-
tine and making a covenant with the
supreme ruler OF that part Of the
earth. who will doubtless sit on a
throne In Rome. According to Mr..
Jones idea then. IL his line of thought
Is correct. Italy will enter the present
war and the center OF things In that
pan OF the globe will shift around SO
ss TO settle on Rome. Russia will
probably swallow Austria. Mr.. Jones
thinks And the Jews will get PaIes-
tine. no matter who wins. These state
ments came about while Mr.. Jones
was answering n number OF Bible
questions for n big audience at the
Tabernacle yesterday afternoon. Some
of the more Important OF them. with
their answers In substance. as given
