day, when the sun comes out OF the
sign of the Lion. he will die of the
worst death. and a Virgin whose
name is composed of two iotas ID,
two alphas (a). with tau IT. and
q lamda ~, will crush his head and
his spoils will be. divided among
the Latin people.
"A single instant more than the
allotted time will not pass before
the events above written come to
happen"
The prediction Of Rumania's in
tervention for August %. 1916. has
come true, az this date corresponds
to Germany's declaration OF war
against Rulnania, and the period
during which the war has been in
progress, namely. two years and
one month, is also substantially ac-
curate, since from the outbreak of
the war in the beginning of August,
1914, to the end Of August, 1916, the
date OF Rumania's intervention,
two years and q month passed.
The virgin referred to in the pro-
phecy is evidently meant to typify
Italy, since the Greek letters CON-
posing her name correspond to two
is two as, q and an !. which
form the name Italia. Evidently,
according to the prophecy Italy is
destined to play decisive role in
the war and bring bout its end.
The end of the war is clearly pre-
dicted, and as there was new
moon on August %. 1916, counting
thirteen lunar months from then
and taking into account the fact
that the sun crosses the sign Of the
Lion in summer. it is comparative
ly easy to calculate approximately
that, according to the prophecy, the
war will end toward the middle Of
next September until when great
devastations over all the world will
happen"
1t is fact that with Rumania's
intervention Germany or the Zero
cious beast Of the prophecy is sur
rounded on all sides, and it is like
wise a fact that great deal Of
vain" roaring" is going on, 80 that
the prophecy besides being curious
deserves to be remembered.

e3,RMsssys 40. s.oiys . i VISTA BANKER
FIGURES IN HOLD-UP

The Culver City california;
press gives the following account OF
the recent robbery Of the bank of
that place, in which j. j. Bryan.
formerly with the First National
bank Of Monte Vista, is cashier.
Three heavily-armed men, mas
querading as motion-picture actors,
today robbed the Culver City Com
mercial and Savings bank OF about
$4,000 in gold and currency. They
held up william Hanse. an actor.
and Jay ]. Bryan, the cashier, the
only persons in the bank at the time,
and driving Bryan into the vault
compelled him to tell them the loca-
tion Of certain funds.
He eoacsaaed from them the place
where $4,000 deposited to meet the
pay roll OF the Triangle Film COM
pany was kept and the robbers thus
obtained less than ope-tenth of the
money in the bank.
The robbers backed out of the
bank, covering House and Bryan
with their revolvers, and jumped in
to the powerful car in which they
had driven there. They sped toward
the beach. travelling at better than
60 miles an hour.
Car Seen at Beach
According to reports from officers
OF Santa Monica, the robbers car
passed through that city travelling
north. 1t is said that two men were
picked up near one of the wharves.
Some who saw the car say there were
FIVE men init when the machine left
the city limits; others say there were
four
The men are said to have entered
the Topango canyon. This report
Immediately was communicated to
the sherif's Office and one of the sew
eral detachments OF deputies and
other officers sped into the San Fer
nandO valley intending to head them
OF.
Officers are confident that II the
report as to the robbers having en-
tered the canyon Is correct that they
will be captured as there is only one
outlet.
Desperadocs Garry Rifles
The men were masked men when
they drove through Santa Monica, 1t
Ia said. At least two rifles are re-
ported to have been in the hands of
the desperadoes. The men who en-
tered the bank were armed with
heavy revolvers.
AT least 80 officers are in pursuit
OF the robbers. Deputy sheriffs. Los
Angeles police and officers OF beach
cities are cooperating.
When the men entered the bank
they carried a motion picture cam
era and at first both Hanse and
Bryan were deceived. One stepped
quickly up to the cashiers window
while another covered Hanse. The
third man swept all the money on
the ledge back of the window into
his pockets.
When Bryan was driven into the
vault he was compelled to lie face
downward on the floor during the
time he was giving directions as to
the location OF the funds.

Special to the Picayune:

l
 Washington, D. C., Debembel Congressman Goodwin who returned last week from a five weeks visit to the war zone of western Europe, said in an in- formal talk with Washington newspaper men that he was par tcularly glad to have been in Europe during the paat two weeks as they have been in many respects the most critical since our advent into the war. The kerensky government failed il Russia and such authority as re. nained was captured by the ele- ment favoring the Central DOW ers; the great Italian dehacle and consequent losses were sustained and there was a change of min istry and a similar crisis narrow ly averted in England during M. GoouWin's visit In spite Of the adverse happenings" safe Mr. Goodwin. the troops of the Allies remain unshaken in their firm determination to win and the morale of the men was never better. They have proven them selves better soldiers man fer man than the flower of the Ger man military machine which has been in course of construction for many years" "
 ''I saw thousands of our boys of all branches of the service and they are in the finest spirits and anxious to get into the fray. 1 talked with the men. the off cers and civilians of this country and of our Allies and all are agreed that never has a if CT body of men gone into war than those we are sending, and never have men been so well provided for. We saw white bread only on the soldiers tables and mon- ey could not buy it for civilian in all of Europe. Our privates receive a dollar and ten cents a day, the British priVates twenty five cents, and the French five cents. The Germans are steadily losing on the western front and the issue will be determined there, no matter what may tran spire elsewhere. A long, hard struggle must be anticipated but there can be no question as to| the final outcome, we will win.
 Mir. Goodwin met with many privates and officers of the Amer ican oversea forces with whom he was acquainted and mention ed among others. Major Harold C. Fiske, U. s. Engineers, lately in charge of the ,Vicksburg Dis trict Engineers Office. and we'll known in southern Arkansas where he has had charge of gov ernment improvement on the Red, Ouachita and other streams of that section. Several months ago MT. Goodwin and Major Fiske attended a series of meet ings in Ouachita and Union coun- ties, for the discussion lof plans for the development of naviga tion on the Ouachita and neither of them had at that time the re- motest idea that they should next meet on the battle front in France. Major Fiske was Il charge of bridge and highway reconstruction and canal repair in Flanders. He expressed likely interest it. the completiol of the Ouachita project and hi confidence that 1t would prove { be one of the most succeSsfu equalization schemes upon whicl the government has been en- gagged.
