GENERAL SMASH.

her, and that she IS gong to on
quer and subdue the whole world.
The nations in arms against Ger
many are just as positive that
God is leading them to a great
victory. And if there were
several other sides and angles to
the war, they would all claim God
and victory on their side.
But they are all badly mistaken.
Of course it is a foregone conclu-
sion that Germany must go down.
Even the Kaiser knows it, but he
is too stubborn to admit it. But
it isn't so easy nor agreeable for
us to admit that OUR SIDE must
also 60 down in defeat. W. would
like to be fed up on pleasant pre-
dictions about how much greater
and grander our nation will be
after the war.
But don't you believe. it. [ tell
you these great nations have all
had their day, and the time is ripe
for them all to go to smash. They
had grown SO rich and powerful,
so proud and wicked, that they
had to be humbled, and God is let
ting them humble each other. God
is not taking any sides in it, but
only PERMITTING these wicked
nations Of earth to destroy each
other.
Look at Babylon, Medo-Persia,
Greece and Rome-the four great
world-empires represented by the
imagine with the head Of gold In
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS dream. Just as
they were predicted to come they
came and had their day. and pass
ed off the stage. No doubt each,
while in the height Of it's glory,
expected to 90 on forever. They
could see no reason why their
power and dominion should ever
cease. But pride goeth before a
fall, and they all bit the dust.
Only the last one (Rome) still
exists in a weakened condition as
the Roman Catholic Church. It
is represented by the feet Of the
image made Of iron and clay-a
mixture Of church and state.
There is no provision in the
divine plan for any fifth world
empire until God gets ready to
establish one Of His own, and SO
Germany's attempt to subdue the
world and rule it is doomed to
failure. If the Germans had been
students Of prophecy they never
would have attempted such a
thing.
But there had to be some means
OF getting these wicked nations
out OF the way, and Germany was
the powder-house that started the
explosion that will blow every
nation into oblivion. To change
the figure, Germany is the Samson
among nations, and as she goes
down to her death she is going tt
pull down the other nations witt
her.
But there is a ray Of light ana
hope through the gloom and dark

THE NEW AGE.

My Socialist friends have tried
to teach me their way Of ushering
in the New Age. But to save my
life I can't see it like they do.
I agree with them that the New
Age is coming, but it isn't COM
ing in the way and manner they
think it is. Their idea is that it is
going to come through the poll
teal agitation and reforms of
men, and that these same old man.
made governments are going to be
purified and brough to a state OF
perfection.
They are going to grab the Mil
lennium by the hair Of the head
and drag it in whether or not.
So they think. And [ give them
credit for being entirely honest
in thinking so. Their motives are
good, but their methods won't
work.
w are continually bowling and
raising sand about our high Of
fcials being SO mean and corrupt,
and about how they pander to
the rich and let the poor suffer,
and all that. And we think that
If a few million Of us little fellows
had the power we would do bet
ter. But just try us Pull them
down and lift us up. Give us the
power and turn us loose. What
would we do? Why, in a few
years we would be just as mean as
they are and they would be down
here sending up the same howl
that we are now sending up.
The doWn-trodden masses Of
humanity r really not any bet
ter by nature than the ruling
classes. They merely lack the OPP
portunity. Suddenly swap places
with the two classes and see what
happens. Or, for that matter, try
to abolish the under class and put
everybody on top-how long
would it stay that way? Just
long enough for the slickest ras-
calls to grab the pile and run,
that's how long.
It simply isn't human nature
for it to be otherwise, and as long
as human nature tries to govern
this world it is going to be that
way, I don't care how much
Socialism or anything else you
have.
Then how is the New Age ever
going to get here?
Easy enough.
After men have been given a
fair chance and have demonstrate
ed beyond all doubt that they
are not capable Of running the
world, then God is going to STEP
In and run the thing Himself. He
is going to let the man-made gov
ernments cut their own Threats
and get out Of the way, and that
is just what they are doing right
now. And at the present rate OF
cutting and slashing it won't be
long till the stage will be cleared
and ready for the Kingdom Of
God to be established here Oh
earth.

ELEVEN SHIPS SUNK
In AMAZING RAID
Germans Send to Rio de Janeiro
267 Survivors of Attacks BY
Slow Sailing Craft.
BY III. b. ROBERTSON,

RIO DE JANEIRo, March 31.-Two
hundred and sixty-five men and two
women, survivors from eleven steam
ships and sailing vessels sunk in the
Atlantic. brought into port today an
other amazing German raider story.
They arrived on the French bark
Cambronne. The new German saider,
with auxiliary gasoline engines. She
flies the Norwegian flag and is heavily
armed. The survivors asserted that
many of those aboard the elesen ships
destroyed by the latest German sea
rover were drowned.
The raider bears the name Sea
adler, and is commanded by Count
Luckuer. She left Germany on De-
cember %. Most of her victims were
overhauied and sunk in the vicinity
of Trinidad.
Victims of Raiders.
The raiders victims as listed were:
Steamer Gladys Royle, British, 4,50O
tons, (sunk of MADEIRA, January 81;
steamer Lady Island. British, 4,5OO
tons, (sunk January 21); steamer
Rongoth. British, $500 tons; sailing
vessel Pinmars, British, $500 tons,
(sunk February 19); sailing vessel
Jouan, British. 3,7O0 tons, (sunk Feb
ruary 26); schooner Trese, of Halifax,
400. tons, (sunk January 2S): steamer
Buenos Aires IwOck, Italian, $500
tons; steamer Charles Gounard,
French. 5000 tons. (sunk January 21)
steamer Antonini, French 1000 tons,
(sunk January 2S); steamer Rouche-
foucauld, French. 1900 tons, (sunk
February 2D, and sailing vessel
Duplex, French, 5000 tons (sunk
March 81.
Cambronne passengers described NE
raider as a three-masted sailing ves-
sci. armed with two sizable cannon
and rapid fire guns. In almost every
case the Seaadler flew the Norweg'
ian flag and signaled her prospective
victims that she desired to speak to
them. When the Seeadler came
within perfect range her crew broke
out the German ensign and opened
fire. As soon as the overhauled ves-
sci surrendered the Germ;ns sent
crews aboard, took of survivors, Inn
prisoned them, and then sunk their
prize.
The Washington times., 1917-03-31
Plan Was Audacious.

The very audacity Of the raiding plan
followed by the Seeadler was re-
sponsible for her great success in prey
ing on commerce. Instead Of being OF
a fast cruiser type like the Moewe and
the Emden, the Eeead.er. according to
survivors. was a cumbersome looking
vessel. innocent-appearing in her Dig
spread OF sails, and with very slow
speed.
Those aboard the Cambronne said that
the Seeadler crew told them that
after leaving Iceland the raider bore
due southwark. The first sinking OF
which the survivors had any knowledge
was of the Madeira islands on January
B. Then. judging from successive meet
Ings which the Seeadler accomplished
she turned her nose southwest across
the Atlantic. Her most recent sinkings
we're reported OF Trinidad.
Al about the time the Seeadler
was somewhere around Madeira and
the Canary Islands. something mys-
teriously happened to one OF the cable
lines from England, via the Canary
Islands, to South America. 1t was
considered possible here that the
raider yanked up this line and cut it.
Certainly communication by way OF
this company has been broken lately.
FIirted With Patrols.
The slow moving Seeadler was
not lacking in courage to pick out a
spot near where allied patrol vessels
were still searching for the German
steam raider a I her consorts as the
scene of her preying on commerce.
Even after Germany officially report
ed the return to a German port OF
the Moewe and Identified her as the
South American raider, British patrol
vessels still searched the South At
Iantic waters. in view of reports that
the Moewe had armed and equipped
several of her prizes as auxiliary
raiders and that these auXiliaries
were still at work.
Only two of the vessels reported
sunk in the above Rio dispatch are
ii. ted in Lloyds register. They are
the Gladys Boyle. 3,26s tons, owned by
]. Westoll and registered at Sunder'
land. England. and the Duplex, 2.2O6
tons. owned by the Societe Anonyme
Des Armateurs Hantias, registered at
Nantes.
