Washington clairvoyants and sooth-
sayers have sounded an optimistic
note in taking issue with the War
Department. military and naval ex-
perts and others, who have asserted
that all signs point to q prolonged
struggle, extending over Probably,
two, three, or ave years.
Through the medium OF psychic
agencies, they claim to have pierced
the veil and obtained . look into the
future, which leads them to prophesy
the end OF the war and the triumph
OF democracy before another twelve
months shall have elapsed. They are
not a unit on the exact date, some
predicting the end during 1917 and
others early In 1913.
