j. S. At WAR IN YEAR!
SAYS BAREFOOT PROPHET
Negroes to AnnihiIate Whites. Says
BeWhiskered. White-Robed "Ionas."

Pittsburgh, Pa, Aug. 81 am the
prophet Jonas and this little fellow here
is my son Jacob, the youngest prophet
that ever spent night in JAIL.
Thus John B. Nash, former ginseng
king of West Virginia. came from
Cumberland and announced himself to
his first Pittsburg audience last night.
Attired in white trousers, jacket and
cape, he peered out from behind a crop
of whiskers of almost unbelievable
luxuriance and regarded his hearers be-
nevolently. By his side was a small
boy similarly dressed. Both were bare
footed and neither had had a haircut
since 1914, as the prophet Jonas explain
ed little later.
There may have been prophets who
have turned out more accurate work
than Jonas. but there certainly was
never more industrious one. He had
just arrived in the city from West Vir-
ginia and The Post bulletin board was
his first stop, but he wasted no time in
starting to build up a Pittsburgh prac-
tice.
Right then and there he opened up.
No small time work about a mysterious
blond, trip across the ocean or dark
gentleman. Regular major league stuff
is Jonas line. Try some of this the
next time you feel the need of any
prophecy:
The United States will be at war
with England, Japan and Mexico with
in year.
THE Negroes of the South will at
the same time attack and annihilate the
white population.
Fright here in Pittsburgh there will
be war between the native sons end the
foreign born"
Jonas, who used to conduct the larg-
est ginseng farm in the United States,
took up prophesy early in 1914, when
mice ruined his ginseng plant at Elk
Garden, W. Va. At present he is en-
gagged in calling the second gathering
of Israel. He and his son carry tin
horns slung about their necks. When
ever they see person who looks eHgi-
BILE to the New Jerusalem they let out
blast, the idea being that person SC
designated should take warning and be-
gin at once to gather.
Eyes sir. was jailed four times anc
IN aninsane asylum five times in 1914
In 1915 / was jailed twice and judged in
sane three times, " he said proudly.
Been pinched yet this year." asked
an Irreverent listener.
Nope, " the prophet replied, sadly.
THE police don't seem to have punch
any more"

Great Victory
BRITISH ADVANCE AT S0MME

Paris.-In northern Galicia the Rus
slams haze struck another hard bow
at the TeutonIc allies and captured
along the Sereth and Graberki riv-
ers, south of BroGy, six villages held
by the Teutons and the entire ridge
on which they are located.
Furious fighting marked the en-
gagement, the Russians being forced
in the villages to drive their adver
saries from house to house. The Aus
tro-Germans, at last reports. were
violently bombarding their lost posi-
tons.
In the fighting the Russians cap
tured a regimental commander and
40 other officers and over 5000 men,
and also took numerous machine guns
and bomb throwers.
Berlin admits that the Russians
have gained the left bank of the
Sereth River, but asserts that the
Germans lave made progress against
the French in the Chapitre Woods
near Verdun and in mining operations
against them in the Argonne; that
the Russians have been driven from
positions along the Stokhod River
south of Zarecze, and that in the Car
pathians the Germans are still oper-
ating successfully.
Slight advances for the British at
High Wood and east of Pozieres, on

DR.. M. S. Davies, of Dothan, was

1t was decided to hold tile next

JAMES DUNHAM IS
SERIOUSLY HURT

James Durham, boatman for Capt.
Bennie Edmundson, and who resides
at la West Government street, was
seriously injured yesterday after
Loon. and was reported found float.
ing in the water by another boat
man.
Last night, at the Pensacola Hos
pital, Mr.. Durham was said to have
been suffering with several broken
ribs, in addition to other injuries,
which made his condition serious. He
was hurried to the hospital as soon
as conveyance could reach the boat
shed, where he was brought from the
harbor.
Mr.. Durham, it was stated, had
been sent over to the British steam
ship Strathearn, which, moored in
the slip between the railroad ware
houses, was preparing to get away.
A great deal of repairing is being
done aboard the steamer, because of
recent storm damage, and Mr.. Dun
ham was sent there to deliver heavy
material. 1t is claimed that some
heavy object either fell accidentally
or was thrown over the ships side,
knocking him into the water, and
causing mis- injuries.
His condition late last night was
said to have been far from satisfac-
tory, although he is being given the
best of attention.
Mr.. Durham had a narrow escape
from drowning during the storm last
week. The boat which he was in
charge of was going to Muscogee
wharf, and when near that dock, eth
Ell swamped or was crushed on the
wharf pilings, and sank. Tie lone
occupant was in the giant seas, but
managed to swim to the wharf and
haul himself out of danger.
