NOVEL MARY YEARS AGO
 PREDICTED A WORLD VAR
Old World May Be So DepOpu- lated and Impoverished That
 It Will Never Recover.

Basel, Switzerland. Nearly thirt! years ago, in 1888, novel was pub lished in Leipzig under the title Sur va" In this hook the following prOphe- cies appear:
 Tn 1901 the frs; clash between west ern and eastern countries will take place.
 In 1912 the Balkans will be drenched with blood and the cOrDses of hundreds of thousands of slain men will cover the battlelields. From this bloody strug- gle the most fearful war of all history will develop. The entire civilized world and even savage tribes will Ge drawn Into the horrible Coutlugration, which will turu all Europe into a bowling wilderness in three years. The war will continue until all of the Lclttgerents are exhausted and the armies In the field rebel against the awful slaughter It will end with d 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 t&2 French revOlu- tiOn appear like chi!d's play. Within a few months the revolution will spread over all Europe, and when it ends the old world will be dCpopulated and so impoverished that it may never be able to recover"
 The first two Of these prophecies have come true, and the third one Is partly fulfilled. In 1901 the war be- tween Russian and Jar&n started, and 1912 brought the first Balkan war, which was followed at once by the sec Ond. From these struggles the present horrible world war developed Almost the entire world Is fighting. Revolution has overturned the government of Rus sia. Will the general revolution, the horrid climax predicted by the writer, also come?

PRESIDENT SERVES

POhick Pastor Loses Notes in Con-
fusion Over Visit.

For the nrst time since George
washington's day, a President OF the
United States heard sermon
preached in historic Pohick Church.
near Alexandria, on Sunday morning.
The Rev. E. W. Millichampe. pastor
OF the ancient church, was about to
begin his sermon when a brisk-walk-
ing man. stepped up to the pulpit and
beckoned to the pastor.
"The President is here" said the
stranger. I'm a Secret Service man."
The pastor. a quiet, retiring man,
was almost overwhelmed by the sud
den honor thrust upon him, and
when he went to look for his sermon
notes, they had disappeared in the
confusion
Mr.. MeIlichampe looked out over his
congregation. saw the distinguished
man and his wife in the congregation,
and then launched into an extern
poraneous sermon that was, his par
ishioners say, one OF the best he ever
preached
At the close of the sermon there
was a slight movement at the rear
of the church and the President OF the
United States and Mrs. Wilson passed
out into the Virginia sunshine.

REQUEST TO
MERCHANTS

Two things count in advertis-
ing as in other purchasing of
merchandise-QUANTITY AND
QUALITY.
Merchants want to know how
MANY and what KIND of citi-
zens buy the newspaper in which
they advertise. In their own es-
Establishments, business men have
the opportunity of getting this
information so important to them,
and we make this request:
Please instruct your employees
to ask customers WHAT NEWS
PAPER THEY READ?
We shall consider it a great
favor If you will ascertain par
ticularly how many and what
kind Of customers read THE
WASHINGTON TIMES.
We think that we know. We
want BUSINESS MEN to know.
We believe you will find that
THE WASHINGTON TIMES is
read by all classes Of citizens, but
for the moment PARTICULAR
LY BY THE YOUNG MEN AND
THE YOUNG WOMEN.
Older people are slower to
change a habit. THE TIMES is
read already by practically ALL
THE YOUNG MEN AND
WOMEN OF WASHINGTON,
and it will be read regularly very
soon by practically all of the
others.
Meanwhile, it is worth remem-
bering that the young men and
the young women are THE BUY
ERS.
We shall be grateful to any
merchant who will request his
employees to get answers to this
question:
What newspaper do you read?
Do you read THE WASHING
TON TIMES? What do you like
about it,"
There is no information quite
as good as YOUR OWN informa-
ton. And we are anxious that
merchants should have THEIR
OWN information about this
newspaper, its readers, their num-
Der and quality.

NAVY CHIEFS HOLD
SEAMEN'S DROWNING
STORY IMPOSSIBLE

while creditIng the sinking OF the
U-boat and believing that the details
of the gun fire told by Gunner Barry
are true, Government officials refused
to believe his recital of the drowning
of German submarine seamen before
the eyes OF the American crew.
The soldiers and sailors of the
United States have no orders to fight
IN this manner" one official stated.
"other nations at war may permit
crews OF vessels sunk to drown, but
we do not intend 10 do Anything of
the kind. As far as is possible, our
fighting forces will conduct them
selves in a humane manner.
This IL understood throughout all
branches OF the service. and being
understood, we are not willing to &C

which Bray was a member, permitted
Germans to drown before their eyes.
Our official reports contained no
mention Of this incident. although
the sinking OF the U-boat was re.
ported in due form"

Germans Seen Struggling in

Struck, and Were Abandoned
to Their Fate.

AN AMERICAN PORT, July II.
How American gunners on board
transport taking Uncle Sans
Troops to France sunk a German sub
marine was told today for the first
time by one of the gun crew who had
just returned from abroad. The gun
ner is James J. Bray, Of South Bos-
ton. He said the craftsmanship Of
the transports naval crew saved SOL
diers aboard the big transport from
torpedo attack. After the subma-
rine was struck, he said, the subma-
rine's crew was seen struggling in
the water. They were left to their
fate.
Bray is an assistant gunner in the
navy. He was one of picked crew
of fifty men from a United States
battleship detailed on this particular
transport for the overseas expedi-
ton.
Left June 2.
The expedition, composed OF trans
ports and other conveys, left an
American port on June 2 and arrived
IN France thirteen days later.
Bray's story Of the destruction Of
the submarine was as follows:
when we were about halfway
across, about 10 o'clock on the even
ing of June Z, we sighted a subHia-
rine. It fired q torpedo which shot
across the bow OF the transport. The
ship zigzagEed. A second torpedo
swept across the bow. We saw moth

next morning, when we sighted what
we supposed was the same one. 1t

ners from q United States battleship.
We Immediately opened fire, striking
the submarine and sinking it The
officers and crew OF the U-bsat were
seen struggling in the water. They
were left to their fate.
1T was sad to see men helpless in
the water, but they were there to sink
and kill Uncle SANS boys, so they
were shown no mercy.
when we sank the U-boat no con-
voy was very near us, having gone
ahead probably to clear the way of
submarines"
