Russian revolution was bound to occur
as the result of dissatisfaction with de-
feat OF the Romanoffs and their mill
tary policy by the German successes
on the eastern front was predicted a
year and half ago by Smell Smith,
newspaper man turned prophet, ac-
cording to a book just published by
Robert j. Shores.
In this work, THE Destiny of the
United States" it is also stated that
the German empire is now doing its
work in the world and is ruthless only
because of vitality within 1t, due In
turn to natural processes of history.
1t then goes on to prohpesy that Ger
many will ultimately be defeated by
the United States. It's author, long
Washington correspondent, makes
bold attempt to unravel the Book OF
Daniel, about which tons of material
have been written during the last
twenty centuries.
Taking one of the predictions of the
Israelitish prophet of Babylon, who is
declared to be a genuine character,
the book interpolates explanations in
parentheses as follows: Il saw in my
vision by night, and behold the four
winds of heaven blew fiercely on the
great (Mediterranean) sea. And four
great beasts (of Europe) came up
from the sea, differing one from an
other. The first (Rome) was like a
lion Gin power) and had eagles wings
(to spread out over the land): looked
till its wings were plucked out, and IL
was lifted up from the earth TN
deprivation of it's dominion) and was
placed upon it's feet as man IN
strength), and q human heart (to
realize that it must meet its end ike
all mankind) was given to 1t. And be-
hold there was another, a second beast
(the Empire of the WeSt), like pear
(of the northern climate), and on one
(western) side (of Europe) was IL
placed, with three ribs (Charlemagne,
Charles V, Napoleon) iE its mouth (to
hold) between its (conquering) teeth:
and thus they said, Arise, eat much
(territorial) flesh After this l looked
and, 10, there was another (Brltalh),
like a leopard with many Spots OF
territory dotted over the face OF the
earth); and it had four wings (Brltlsh
North America Australia, South Africa
and India) of bird (that flew far)
on Cor att it's back; the beast had also
four heads (England, Scotland, Ire
land. Wales); and dominion (to the
extent of a fourth of the glope) was
given unto it. After this l looked III
the night visions, and behold there
was a fourth beast Germany, dread
full and terrible and strong exceed
ingly; and it had great iron teeth
(strong armies and a navy); 1t de-
voured (territory) and ground up
(rights and institutions), ana WnaI
was left it (ruthlessly) stamped with
it's feet; and it was different TN the
composition of the states of its KING
dom) from all the beasts that were be-
fore it, and it had ten horns Cor kings
as follows: Frederick III, Frederlck
William !, Frederick the Great, Fred
ericIS William IL, Frederick William Ill,
Frederick William ", William L, FRED
erick III, William IL and trederlck
William V. now crown prince). L
looked carefully at the horns, and,
behold. another little horn (Prussia)
came UP between them, and three OF
the first horns Denmark, Austria,
France) were plucked up by the roots
and debated before the same ana
behold there were eyes like the eyes
of man in, this morn NeaItnly' itL NJ

the power of blood and iron). was
looking until chairs (for presidentsl
were set down lin preparatlon) anu
an (individua) Ancient of days (who
had lived and wrought for many CEN
turies and is to be the Messiah) seated
himself Gin the presidency OF the
United States), whose garment was
white as snow Gin spiritual light, and
the hair of whose head was like clean
wool Gin inspiration); his chair was
like flames of fire lin its successful
warfare, and his wheels like fire that
burnt (and left lands in ruins); a
stream of fire (in war; issued and
came forth from him Cat his COM
mand): thousands times thousands
ministered to him Gin assistance), and
myriad times myriads stood before
him Gas soldiers); they sat down to
hold Judgment (of the history and
condition of mem and the books (of
the Old Testament) were opened Oh

of the presumptuous words which the
(Prussian) kingly horn had spoken

slain and it's body destroyed, and given
over to the burning fire (of the con-
aueror). But concerning the rest OF
