PREDICTS FAMINE FOR
 THE WHOLE COUNTRY.
Prophet Jones Makes Startling An- nouncement Before Norwich Audi- ence.

A devastating famine will sweep the United States. said Rev. Andrew Jones of Philadelphia, in 9 messa ge delivered Thursday night at Grace Memorial Baptist church before good sized au- dience.
 Rev. MT. Jones, known as Prophet Jones, Is 63 years old, has been making some startling prohpecies and foretold some wonderful things that have come true. Some of the prophecies told by the prophet with wonderful accuracy was the Johnstown flood in 1889, the St. Louis cyclone of 1896, and the as- sassination of President Mckinley.
 The prophet says that in his last vision concerning the nations of the earth he was told that much blood is Prophet Jones predicted that there would be a war across the water and that this country would be drawn into it and will be in 1t until blood touches blood. In 1898 he predicted the Span ish-A American war just previous to it. and on July z, 1915, in the city of Washington he declared that the great buildings of that city would be knock ed down as if hit by a cyclone or an earthquake, and that there shall come neither peace nor prosperity to the city Of Washington nor to America for the next 16 years.
 As a message Thursday night Prophet Jones declared that he came to warn the people of great devas- tating famine that will sweep the United States, and also that we are going to war with Japan and other foes. There is no way of escape, says Prophet Jones, for this is Gods visita- ton upon a world of sin and ungodli- ness. The war in Europe will continue until men are few in number as found in Isaiah, 3d chapter, 25th ano 18th verses, and the women will fin6 themselves at the close of the war as Isaiah, 4th chapter, 1st verse.
 It is just seven years ago, said ths prophet, that I made a prophecy righ
 here in your own city in Mount Cal
 vary Baptist church, of the presen European conflict, and just two year:
 ago in the same church I saw the na,
 tions preparing for the war.

 When asked concerning his prophe
 cies, Prophet Jones refers to ths 16tl chapter of St. John, 18th verse, How belt when he. the spirit of truth, i come, he shall guide you into ali thu
 truth; for he shall not speak from him self; but what things soever he vii hear, these shall he speak; and h shall declare unto you the things tha | are to come.
 While here on a previous visi Prophet Jones saw thei cattle die and can be remembered that the cattle il | our radius were afflicted with the hoo | and mouth disease. He also predicte | the much dreaded disease, infantil | paralysis.
 While in Newark four or five month | ago he predicted that there would be | great explosion which would shak | their homes. The terrific New Tor | explosion did considerable damage i l Newark.
