Text of Letter.
Richmond, Va, June %, 1917.
Editor.
Chase City Progress
Sir
Upon my return from New York
this morning. / find in the News
Leader of yesterday afternoon a com
munication from Hon John Garland
Pollard introducing letter written
by me and published in the Rich
mond Dispatch of March q, 1885
The occasion of the reproduction of
this letter is known to the citizens Of
Meekienbure who were present at
Boydton on June IS. when MI. Pol
lard and l spoke. In the course Of
my statement of my political views.
My record upon this question is an
open book. More than thirty years
ago when in the state senate. / voted
for the first local option law ever
passed in this state and since that
time / have stood shoulder to shoulder
with the temperance forces. advanc-
ing step by step as rapidly as we
deemed for the best interests of the
cause and the state Mr.. Pollard
speaking later challenged my state
ment that had supported local option
since that date, and said that l had
worked and voted against prohibition
in the election in Richmond in 1885,
| asked the privilege. which he
granted, Of interrupting him for a
moment and then said distinctly and
emphatically: Il have never voted
AGAINST local option in my life. /
voted with the drys in the Richmond
election in 1885,
MI. Pollard now reproduces this
letter, apparently with the notion
that it contradicts my statement.
He does not state what is impor-
tant in the whole connection. The
local option election which was held
in Richmond on April Is, 1886, was
called by the friends of the liquor
traffic. The election was not on Pc
ution of the drys. but Of the vets.
The liquor people thought that II
would be good policy to take the
temperance forces una wares before
they had time to organize. The
friends of license were confident OF
victory in the city and believed that
an overwhelming victory in Richmond
would depress and discourage the tenn
perance cause all over the state. Many
of the wsest and best of the tenn
perance leaders deplored and discour-
aged the idea of bringing the matter
to an issue at that time. My letter
was written on March 20, two days
before the petition calling for the
election had been presented, and was
intended to do whatever lay in my
power to discourage and prevent the
election ! was doubtful of the eff
ficiency of prohibitory law for
Richmond at that-tine- and so ex-
pressed myself. The petition was pre-
scented on the 22d OF March; the cleo
ton was ordered on the 24th of March
and was held on the 26th of April

Gibraltar of Nicaragua. When the
unrest in San Domingo last summer
eliminated in revolution, General
Pendleton, then a colonel in COM
mand of the Fourth regiment of
marines at San Diego, Cal, was or
dered there, and within twelve hours
after receipt of orders his regiment
was enroute. He was selected last
fall for promotion to brigadier gen

command rendered the San Domingo
republic inestimable services, and
turned it from bandit-ridden coun-
try into a land of peace.
Brigadier General Eli K. Cole was
born in Carmel, NY, in 1867. He
graduated from the Naval Academy

served in practically all parts of
the world, both afloat and ashore.

commanded regiments of marines in
the Philippines, Panama and Central
America, and in addition to the
knowledge of military affairs thus
gained on active duty he has made
study of the strategy of war at
the Army War College from which
he graduated with honor. In 1915
he was dispatched to Hayti in com
mand of regiment OF marines, on
the outbreak of the revolution. and
is now commanding all United States
forces in that republic. He was Sc

for his courage in action during the
Spanish war, and his promotion to
the rank of brigadier general last
year was in recognition OF his bril-
liant qualities as an officer con-
versant with all that pertains to the
profession of arms. He has seen ac-
tive service with the various expe-
dictionary forces of the marine corps
sent out to the republics south dur
ing recent years, and commanded the
marine corps brigade at the battle of
Vera Cruz, Mexico, in April, 1914,
which resulted in the taking of
that city. His abilities as an ad-
ministrator are equal TO those he has
demonstrated on the firing line. He
is at present stationed at the head

Fairfax Harrison, chairman of the

following:
Plans for the largest troop move
ment ever scheduled in the history of
this country are now being perfected
by the American Railway association
at the request of the United States
government. Altogether 6S7, 900 men
will have to be transported to the var
ious environments that the government
is building to house the new national
army. The movement will start Sep

proximately 80 per cen of the total
number scheduled to be moved 10

St. Malachi Says War
Comes to an End Today

NEW YORK-The great war should
end today, according to a prediction
of st. Malachi, an Irish Monk, who
lived about 1850 A. d.
st. Malachi is said to have predicted
the date of the start of the present
war and the date of Roumania's en-
try into the struggle
This is St. Malachi's prophecy as
found on an original manuscript now
in the Civil Museum, ia Como, Italy:
when the first number shall meet
the ninth and when the two shall be
united with the first and sixth (1916),
during the sixth month of the year
august, according to the old calen-
dar) and after two times, four and
two times 10 days shall have passed
august 28) the new races which
drew their name from Romulus
(Roumania) shall rise and shall ally
themselves with powerful nations.

"Then the fierce beast who for three
years and one month has been filling
all the earth with blood, with horror
and with carnage, now surrounded,
smitten from all sides and roaring in
vain will seek whom he may devour,
but shall not find him.
There shall be new battles while
new moons shall wax and wane 10
times. The fifth day after the sun
leaves the siege of the lion, the beast
shall die a fearful death. A virgin
whose name contains two iotas, two
alphas, a tau, and a lambda, Qtalia)
shall crush his head and the Latin
people shall share his spoils.'
Astronomers consider the prophecy
particularly wonderful because it is
based on astronomical facts unknown
at the time Malachi lived.
Italian journals say Malachis ha
predicted with signs and symbols the
name of every pope since his time.
