MARINE IN DIRE PROPHECY
Seventh, Son Of Seventh Son Says
san Francisco viii Be Bonn
barded In October.

New York.-.'The war will end ON
July rs, 1915. On October IL, 1916,
San Francisco will be bonbarded and
destroyed by hostile fleet"
Gunnery Sergeant Thomas G. Ster-
rett, United States marine corps,
makes this dire prophecy, not from
any advance military knowledge, but
from the fact that he is seventh son
of a seventh son with no girls be-
tween, and his comrades in the marine
corps think him something of a fore
caster.
Sterrett first gained fame when, in
1892, he predicted a new railway sta,
ton for Kansas City,. In 1912, 1913,
1914 and 1915, he foretold with unor.
ring accuracy the overflow of the Al
legheny's banks and the flooding of
Pittsburgb's downtown section.

With Gods help to cleanse our nation
From the crime that stains it now.

and scores of smaller vessels.

that Germany had transmitted its
final reply on the Lusitaaia negotia-
tions to Washington, that Germany in
this reply refused to disavow the sink
ing of the Lusitania and that 1t will
make no further concessions.
