Mother Symptoms
Prophecies Recalled

The following which is known as
Mother Symptoms Prophecy" is said
to have been first published in 1883,
and republished in 1641. 1t will be
noticed that all the events predicted
except that of the last two lines, have
already come to pass.
Carriages without horses shall go,
And accidents fill the world with woe;
Around the world thought shall fly
In the twinkle of an eye!
Water shall yet more wonders do,
Now strange, yet shall be true.
The world upside down shall be,
And gold be found at root of tree.
Through hills man shall ride,
And no horse or ass be at his side.
Under water man shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
In the air men shall be seen,
In white, in black, in green.
Iron in water shall float
AS easy as wooden boat
Gold shall be found and coined
In land that's not now known.
Fire and water shall wonders do,
England shall at last admit a Jew;
And the world unto an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one.
Mother Symptoms Last Prophecy.
Mother Shipton was born at Knav-
esborough, says tradition, and was
generally regarded as a witch, the
popular belief being that she sold her
soul to the evil one in return for the
power OF lifting the veil shroudng
the future Although universally be-
lieved to be dealer in black art, she
died quietly in her bed, and in the
churchyard near by headstone bore
this inscription:
Here lies she who never lied,
Whose skill often has been tried;
Her prophecies shall still survive,
And ever keep her name alive"
1t is said that each morning of her
life was signalized by the atterance
of some remarkable prediction of
veal or woe to her neighbors of her
country. To Henry VII, she fore
told his suppression of the monster
les, his marriage with Anne Boleyn,
Wosley's downfall and death. and the
fagot fires of Smithheld To Eliza
beth she also made equally true pre-
dictions, and also to King James. 1t
is recorded that in her last public ut
terance Mother Shipton gave forth
the following prediction, which has
been thought to have reference to the
present century:
The time shall come when seas of
blood
Shall mingle with a geater food;
Great noise shall there be heard,
great shouts and cries,
And seas shall thunder louder than
the skies
Then shall three lions fight with three
and bring
Joy to a people, honor to a king.
That frey year, as soon as DER,
Peace shall then be as before;
Plenty shall everywhere be found,
And men with swords shall till the
ground.

SCOLDING WRONG PEOPLE

Since the war tax went into effect
on railroad tickets, the folks buying
tickets have had a great deal to say
against the railroad company, scold-
ing to the employees of the COM
pany about the tax. Some even
argue the merits of the question and
assume that the person selling the
tickets and collecting the war tax is
responsible for the extra expense.
Some blame the company for graft
ing the public as if the company
were getting the extra money.
The subject is worthy of a secoHd
thought. The person selling the
ticket is working under orders sand
has no choice in the matter. Our
local ticket agent, Miss Young, says
her work is just double all thru, for
she has to collect two sums each
time, and keep two sets of accounts
instead of one set as before. ItAis
harder to wait on the same number
of persons because so many of them
have to be informed about the tax,
and then she has to wait while some
of them have their say, not always
agreeable in it's nature.
The railroad company has no
choice in the matter, for the gov
ernment says to collect the tax and
turn it in, and collect they must, re-
gardless of the extra expense it
makes them. They have to do it
whether it is agreeable or not, and
no matter how much it costs them,
they have to collect that tax.
The government has no choice in
the matter, for it has to have money
to pay the expenses of the war.
Congress enacted the law as one of
the many means Of getting money.
Congress had no choice in the
matter, for the people have been de-
manding that something be done,
ever since the sinking of the Lou
sitania, and they called the president
and congress all kinds of spineless
towards because they did not de-
clare war the week, after it hap
pened.
The people of this country had
no choice in the matter, for the i'm
perial government of Germany
ordered the sinking of the Lousi-
taina, as we'll as all the other out
RACES that brought on the war;
wherefore, if people have any re-
marks to make against paying the
war tax on a railroad ticket they
should addres it to the imperial gov
ernment of German, and they should
express it in terms which that gov
ernment can understand, namely,
shells, shrapnell, bombs, bayonets,
suffocation, hunger, disease, humili-
alton and agony, all delivered f. o. b.
at Berlin.

OFF FOR FRANCE

The prediction often heard since
the SECOND Idaho regiment went into
eastern training camps and was
merged into other military units,
that it would soon be in France, is
verified by private advices received
here. Letters from Idaho boys now
at Camp Mills make it clear that the
troops from this state may sail for
France as soon as they are outfitted.
No surprise would be occasioned If
the regimental units found them
selves on ships sailing across the At
lantic ocean. Officers as well as en-
listed men are as much in the dark
with regard to the sailing dates as
the general public.
A number of the former national
guard units have already reached
France safely and are preparing
there to go into action. No hint is
dropped by the government as to the
number of men this country now has
in Europe but that it has many is
claimed by advices received here.

GERMANY and HER ALLIES
S.75PER| CENT OF WORLD

WASHINGTON, D. C.-More than
three fourths of the worlds popula-
ton lives in the eighteen countries
at war with Germany or her allies,
according to compilations from gov
ernment sources.
The persons living within the CEN
trail countries are outnumbered more
than seven times by anti-Germanic
populations, and the proportion is
swelled even higher If consideration
is taken of the populations of the
ten countries which have broken re-
lations with the central powers.
Germany's enemies now include
nearly all the white and yellow
races, and the physical resources of
about half the worlds area are mo-
bilized against the forces of Ger
many, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria
and Turkey.
For these reasons, observers here
are watching intently the play of in
fluences within the few remaining
neutrals, including Spain, the
Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Den
mark, Switzerland. Argentina, Vene-
zuela, Paraguay, Columbia, Ecuador,
SALVADOR anu MoAlCO.
b. Similarly, unusual interest Is felt
here in the. future course of the ma
tions which have broken relations
with Germany or her allies. These
are Brazil, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Qua
temala, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua,
Peru, Uruguay and Santo Domingo.
1t is pointed out here that, of the
worlds total population of 1884,
100000, about 1,342,00O,000 live
under the flags of the central powers
open enemies in the war. About
4O,000,0O0 inhabit the countries
which have broken relations, and
132,O0O,000 are neutral, while the
population of Germany and her al
lies is about 1T, 100000.
OF the worlds total area OF 57,-
100000 square miles, 27,000,OOO
are under anti-German domination,
while the Germanic allies control
only 100000.
The alignment of nations is
shown by the formal declarations of
war made since Austria precipitated
the world strife on July %, 1914,
by declaring war on Serbia. These
declarations have been:
Austria against Belgium, Monte
negro, Russia and Serbia; Bulgaria
against Serbia; China against Aus
tria and Germany; Cuba against
Germany; France against Austria,
Bulgaria and Germany; Germany
against France, Portugal and Rus
sia; Great Britain against Bulgaria,
Austria, Germany and Turkey;
Greece against Germany; Italy
against Austria, Bulgaria and Ger
many; Japan against Germany; Lii
IBERIA against Germany; Montenegro
against Austria; Panama against
Germany; Rumania against Austria;
Serbia against Turkey; Siam against
Austria and Germany; Turkey
against all the Entente nations Nov.
23, 1914, and later against Ru-
mania; United States against Ger
many.
