MOTHER SYMPTOMS PROPHECY.

 A house of glass shall come to pass, In England, but alas War will follow with the work In the land of the Pagan and Turk; And state and state in fierce strife Will seek each others life But when the North shall divide the South An Eagle shall build in the Lion Mouth, And accidents fill the world with woe, Primrose Hill in London shall be, And in it's center Bishops See; Around the world thoughts shall fly In the twinkling of an eye, Water shall yet wonders do, Now strange, shall yet be true; The world upside down shall be, And gold found at the root of tree; Through hills man shall ride, And no horse or ass be by his side; Under water men shall walk, Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk; In the air men shall be seen, In white in black, in green; Iron in water shall float, As easy as wooden boat. Gold shall be found and found In a land that's s not now known. Fire and water shall more wonders do, England shall at last admit Jew; The Jew that was held in scOrn Shall of a Christian be born. Three times three will lovely France Be led to dance bloody dance Before her people shall be free. Three tyrant rulers shall she see. Three times the people rule alone, Three times the peoples hope is gone. Three rulers in succession see, Each springing from different dynasty. Then shall the worser fight be done, England and France shall be as one.

CROWD OF SOLDIERS CLEANS
OUT HEADQUARTERS |. W w.
Typewriters, Windows, Furniture and
All Moveables Demolished
by Los Angeles Troops

Los Angeles, Sept. 20.-A crowd OF
soldiers, variously estimated at from
200 to 400, wrecked the headquarters
of the Industrial Workers of the World
here yesterday. Typewriters and fur
niture were broken, windows smashed
and all moveables demolished. There
were no casualties and no arrests.
The soldiers, in columns of squads,
marched down San Pedro street and
swung into Fifth street, where the
headquarters were located. AT a shout
ed command they halted and remained
in line while three or four of their
number stepped inside and told Phil
lip Mclaughlin, secretary of the local,
and two or three loungers that they
were going to wreck the place"
Mclaughlin and his comrades looked
at the soldiers and voiced no objec-
TONS The men then entered and de-
stroyed every piece of furniture, paper
and bit of equipment in the room and

ARGENTINE SENATE VOTES
OVERWHELMINGLY TO BREAK
Resolution now Goes to Chamber Dep
uties-PubIic Feeling Favors
Rupture With Germany

Buenos Aires, Sept. 22.-Argentina
probably will sever relations with Ger
many today as the result of new de-
velopments, the Associated Press
learns from high officials.
News that Emperor William had
expressed approval of the loyalty dis
played by Count Won Luxburg, the dis
missed German minister, was received
here just before the opening of debate
in the chamber of deputies on the res
olution declaring for rupture of rela-
lions between Argentina and Germany.
This was looked on in some quarters
as likely to hasten materially the de-
cision in favor of break.
The senate has already passed the
resolution by vote of % to l and
President Irigoyen has announced he
is willing to follow the dictates Of the
people.

CENTRAL POWERS HOPEFUL
POPE WILL END THE WAR.
Kaiser and Austrian Emperor Greet
Proposals of Pontiff With
Enthusiasm

London, Sept. 22.-In the reply to the
peace proposals of Pope Benedict, the
German and Austrian governments ex-
press the hope that the pontiff's eff
forts may bring about cessation of
hostilities. Emperor William 'cher-
ishes lively desire" that the vatican
appeal may meet with success.
Germany's reply is written by a
member of the emperors encourage
while that of Austro-Hungary is
personal missive from Emperor
Charles. Both notes to the pope were
made public almost simultaneously
and apparently both are of the same
general trend.
Emperor Charles declares the pope's
proposals will lead to peace if the
belligerent nations would enter into
negotiations in the sense of the pom
tiff's suggestions, in which he sees a
suitable basis for initiating exchanges
toward a just and lasting peace.
The future arrangement of the
world, says the emperor, must be based
on the elimination of armed force, the
freedom of the seas, and on the rule of
justice and legality.

BUTTE MINES RESUME

Butte, Sept. 18.-The properties of
the Anaconda Copper mining company,
closed down since August "a because
of a walkout at the Washoe works in
Anaconda, resumed operation yester-
day morning.
At Anaconda and Great Falls, where
the smelling plants Of the company
are located, more men applied for
work than were needed for the morn
ing shift; at all of the mines of the
company In Butte work was started,
but because of the absence from the
district Of many miners it is expected
that full shifts will not be secured for
several days. At no place was there
trouble of any kind, striking miners
not being in evidence.

GUM, Sept. 22.-The British forces
with comparatively little opposition
have consolidated and considerably
improved the new line which they won
in their offensive Thursday against
the Germans to the east of Ypres.
The British war office after the re-
ceipt of Field Marshal Haigs report,
issued this bulletin:
More detailed accounts OF Thurs
days battle confirm the completeness
of our success. During the evening
local attacks delivered by US in the
neighborhood northeast of Langemarck
cleared up a number of strong points
and completed capture of our objec-
tives in this locality.
1.-THE clear light of the latter part of
the day enabled our troops TO obtain
warning of the impending attacks and
in every case advancing lines of Ger
man infantry were destroyed by the
concentrated fire from our rifles and
machine guns and artillery.
1.-THE obstinacy with which the en-
envy recently repeated his attacks only
added to his losses without recovering
for him any of the valuable ground
which we had won.
Exhausted by his previous efforts
the enemy made no counter attacks
during the night and our troops We're
able to consolidate the positions undis-
turbed.
"Our own losses in the battle are
slight. In excess of 1000 prisoners
have been taken"
From the newly acquired enemy
stronghold known as Amaze, south
west of Zonnebeke, flutters the Aus
tralian banner, a symbol of the great
est victory which has marked British
operations in the western theater in
the past year, not excluding that at
Messines.
