stood still and then rushed to the west
and lowered over America. Streaks of
lightning illuminated the darkness and
i heard the signs and complaints of
our people. Again the angel drew up
water from the sea and sprinkled it as
before. The dark cloud drifted away
and sank into the sea. The third time
I heard the voice. It said: "The end of
a century approaches" AGO..

from Africa I saw approaching to our
land spirit. It fluttered slowly and
heavily over the country; the people
gathered in battle array, one part

this scene there appeared a bright an
gel, upon his head was crown with
the word "Union;" in his hands he
bore the American starry banner and
planted it between the two armies and
cried: "Thou art brothers!" = o.

"'The dark angel lifted a trumpet
to his lips and blew thereon three

From each of these lands arose omi-
nous clouds and joined in one great
mass, which seemed illuminated with
blood-red light. I saw heavily arm
ed men; they marched over the land
and they sailed over the ocean to Am
erica, which was soon covered with a
cloud. And saw the immense army
lay waste the land and burn cities and
towns. Above the thunder of the can

General Washington 5 Vision

. O..
Here's a chapter from the life of
General Washington as told by Anton
SHERMAN, who had served with the
Great commander during the Revolu-
tionary war. Mr.. Scherman, who was
. native of New Jersey, lived to be 80
wears of age and was fond of telling
.h;s incident. He always introduced
and supplemented it with, "And these
words / heard myself from the lips of
General Washington" The recital
was made with so much feeling that
4 never failed to impress all who
heard it. It was published in Ger
man paper years ago, from which this
translation is made. Two of the wars
foretold in the vision have already
taken place. Is the one at the present
being waged with Spain the begin
ming of the complication that may
make the third in General Washing
toms vision reality is the question
which the gentleman who left the old
German paper asked. A-r Ill. Il -
"The darkest period of the Revolu-
ton" Mr.. Scherman said, "was in the
wear lit, when Washington, after
various reverses, went into winter
headquarters at Valley Forge. Once
during these gloomy days I observed
that General Washington remained
alone in his room until after midnight
and as he came out he appeared paler
and more careworn than usual.
".As sat tonight at my table busy
writing and oppressed by care there
appeared opposite me the figure Of a
beautiful woman Washington said in
reply to inquiries regarding his ap-
pearance. 4 was surprised, for had
given strict orders that I was to be
disturbed by no one. I asked the visi-
tor what she wanted. There was no
reply. I repeated the question four
times without receiving an answer. I
arose from my chair, but the glance
Of my strange visitors eyes made me

eyes. The room filled with bright
light and the figure stood out more
brilliant and clear. felt like dead
person; could not think, nor reason,
nor make motion.
"Then I heard a voice saying:
'You of the republic; look and learnp'
Suddenly then there was stretch
ed out an arm with a finger pointing
towards the East. Clouds rolled away
in the distance and picture opened
before my eyes. Before me lay all
the lands Of the earth: Europe, Asia,
Africa and America. Between Europe
and America I saw tossing the waves
Of the Atlantic and between Asia and
America the great Pacific.
"tAnd the voice said: "Son Of the
republic, look and learnt"
Suddenly I saw the dark figure
Of an angel suspended over the ocean
between Europe and America. 1t

both hands and sprinkled with its right
over America and with its left over
Europe. Then a great black cloud
arose from both lands and met in the

 BLANKS NOW
 ON WAY HERE

JUNEAU.-(By mail)-The regis tration blanks and supplies for the Territory of Alaska arrived from the south on June z and are now at the governors office, where they are be- ing prepared for mailing to the cities and voting precincts of the territory.
 The letter sent with the supplies estimates that 13,943 men between the ages of 2l and 80 are in the ter ritory and subject to registration. This is based on an estimate of the 1917 census, but as the total vote cast for delegate at the election last November was but 14,295, it is felt that the total registration will fall far short of the estimated number
 The supplies received include reg istration cards, certificates of regis tration and the printed forms of in- StructionS. As soon as possible they will be mailed to every town, voting precinct, or federal officer in the ter ritory, the supplies for the Second and Fourth divisions going out first. Fol lowing them the Third division sup plies will be mailed and the First di- vision last of all
 AS soon as the supplies for the in- terior sections have been mailed the question of the date of registra, ton will be taken up with the gover- nor and the war department by tele- graph and the date set from Washing

GOLD STRIKE
 ON GOOD NEWS
 RIVER REPORTED

SEATTLE, June 1-(By mail.)- News of a gold strike on the upper waters of Good News river, which flows into Good News bay in the Kus- kokwim district, was given out yes terday by Capt Louis Knaflich of the KuSkokwim Fishing & Transportation company. The strike was made last fall, but Capt. Knaflich has kept the matter secret until now. According to letters received by Capt. Knaflich, a small sized stampede of the opera tors at near by points has started. Capt. Knaflich brought out $500 in gold dust last fall that was washed out by A. GabrielSon, diScoyerer of the diggingS, in eight days. Gabriel son, running short of supplies, had to leave his find, and it was too late in the season to go back.
 Along with the story of the strike Capt. Knafich gave his real reason for the purchase of the new schooner Eunice, which is now being completed, and will sail either Friday or Satur- day for Good News bay. The vessel will take a full cargo of supplies for the fishing post that Knaflich X Al bert, of the KuSkokwim Fishing X Transportation company maintains there, and was secured solely with the idea of serving the new camp as a freight and passenger vessel. Capt. Knaflich will go north in the vessel, returning on one of the other vessels of his fleet.
 According to Capt Knaflich, Ga brielson sent out for a complete out fit to work his mine, a $2,OOO con signment going in on the power schooner Ruby, which sailed recently.
