Novel 20 Years Ago
Predicted World War

Basic. Switzerland, March 30
Nearly thirty years ago, in 1883. a
novel was published in Leipzig
under the title "Surya." In this
book the following prophesies:
'In 1904 the first clash between
western and eastern countries will
take place.
"In 1912 the Balkans will be
drenched with blood and the
corpses of hundreds of thousands OF
slain men will cover the batteihelds
From this bloody struggle the most
fearful war of all history will de
velop. The entire civilized world
and even savage tribes will be drawn
into the horrible confagration,
which will turn all Europe into a
bowling wilderness in three years.
The war will continue until all OF
the belligerents are exhausted and
armies in the field rebel against the
awful slaughter. 1t will end with
a general uprising of the masses
The revolution will start in one OF
the largest countries engaged in
the war and bring horrors which
may make those of the French re-
volution apper like echild's play.
Within few months the revolu-
ton will spread over all Europe.
and when it ends the old world
will be depopulated and SO i'm
poverished that it may never be
able to recover
The first two of these prophecies
have come true and third one is
partly fulfilled. In 1904 the war
between Russia and Japan started
and 1912 brought the first Balkan
war, which was followed at once by
the second. From these struggles
the present horrible war developed.
Almost the entire world is fighting
Revolution has overturned the
Government of Russia. Will the
general revolution, the horrid
climax predicted bv the writer;
also come?

AS The Editor Sees 1t

Don't forget to "clean up and
paint up and while you are
about it, stay up. In other words,
don't clean up your place in the
spring-giving it the once.over =
and then expect it to ramain fresh
and attractive the rest CT your
natural life.
You can clean up today, and to-
morrow there will be something
else to pick up. If you leave it,
and keep on leaving aceumulations
from day to day, it is only ques-
tor of few weeks when that
neglected appearance" is in evid-
ence wherever you look. And that
is bad for this town. 1t is bad for
the health and the pocket books Of
the town. 1t is bad every way
you look at it. But five minutes a
day will change all of this. 1t will
keep your place a power of neat
ness and beauty, and it instills a
pride and contentnent in your
heart that will make you feel like
another person. Try it. You will
feel better, and your place will even
more so.
We note, though, that some peo-
pie who get on the street and bel
low the oudest for civic improve
ment are tile ones who could best
put in their time cleaning up their
own back yards.
We do not want to disparage the
preaching of civic improvement
far from it. But we do want to
advocate practicing before preach
ing. The INDECENT and Indifferent
man sits in his own rubbish and
tells his neighbor what to do,
while the energetic and prideful man
goes ahead and does it and thinks
in his mind what a worthless cuss
the constitutionally tired" one is.
BY the law of human nature you
must be one or the other Which
looks best to you? Which is best
for the community?
1t now transpires that while Count
Won Bernstorff was shedding tears
over the agony of parting from his
good American friends, his fellow
conspirators were as busy as bees
in Mexico, getting control of the
finances of that unhappy country
and putting its munitions plant on
firm basis. A few thoughtful
people foresaw some move of the
kind, but as often as they opened
their mouths in warning they we're
met with the parrot-like cry of
"jingo"-the last defense of an in
iefensible position Now we will
pay the price of our folly.

At War With Germany

@ Washington, April 2,-The
lS United States is at war
~ with Germany. To-
night, while President Wilson was
addressing the Congress, urging
that Congress 'declare the
recent course of the Imperial
German government to be in fact
Nothing less than war against the
government and people of the
United States, and that it formally

which has thus been thrust upon
it," news reached Washington that
the Aztec, an American ship, armed
with American guns, served by
gunners from the American Navy,
had been sunk by a German sub
marine.
President Wilson declared that
as the Imperial German Govern
ment had by its recent course de-
cIared war on this county, the
United States accept the challenge
and he followed this sentence with
the formal recommendation that
immediate steps be taken to place
the county in a more thorough

and being considered o-day, are as
follows:
| Whereas, the recent acts Of the
Imperial Government are acts Of
war against the Government ane
of The United States;
Received, by the the Senate
and house of Representatives OF the
United States of America in Con
gross assembled that the state Of
W n between the United States anc

which has thus been thrust upon

ly declared; and
That the President be, and he
is hereby, authorized and directed

to put the country in a thorough
state of defense but also to exert
all Of its power and employ all its
resources to carry on war against

and to bring the conflict to a sue:
