PROPHECY IS NOW BEING FULFILLED

The Jolly Elk reproduces the fol- lowing prophecy regarding the pres- ent war, which prediction is now be- lieved to be nearing complete fulfill ment. The authenticity of this pro- phechy, made by Monk Fratre Johan- nes, was at first doubted because of few discrepancies in the text, but the matter was referred to the news paper information bureau at Wash ington, and Director Frederick J. Haskins replied as follows:
 "In reply to your letter asking whether the prophecy by the monk, Fratre Johannes, is real, we would say this prophecy was discovered in old parchment in the Covenant of the holy Ghost, at Wismar, in Germany, and is kept under glass in the town

WILL SILVER COME BACK?

With bar silver at over a dollar an ounce, a price higher than the white metal has enjoyed since the "crime of '73," with silver at premium over gold in India--where silver has al- ways been the popular medium, with South American coinage at higher value than it's face in currency, with the gold of the world piling up in the United States and Japan; with all these things confronting the moneta- ry world, it is small wonder that some people are beginning to talk of the monetization of silver, of bimetallism, and the like. The conditions of in- debtedness which gave the silver movement it's force in this country twenty years ago will be of interna- tional scope when the war is over. Every country will be in debt, and it will be to their temporary interest at least to increase the stock of basic money. It would indeed be strange if the doctrine advocated by Bryan, the chief orator on the Prince of Peace, should finally come to fruition through the course of war.

MADDEN GUARDS RIGHTS
 OF LAKE SHIPPING

It is reported that the Shipping Board intends to withdraw from the Great Lakes, before the close of nav igation this fall, all the shipping ser viceable in the coastwise trade, that can be passed through the Welland Canal, estimated at about 300,000 gross tons. In order that the purpose of Congress in permitting the with drawal of such vessels from the lakes might be matter of record Representative Martin B. Madden, of Illinois, has secured a statement from the chairman of the Merchant Marine Committee of the House, that it has not been the intention of Congress to permit the Shipping Board to denude the Great Lakes of the shipping fla cilities now enjoyed by the people. In the event of controversies arising in the future, the record which Mr. Madden has obtained may be of much value in upholding the rights of the Great Lakes shippers. /

WHEREIN FREE
 DISCUSSION HELPS

In an address to the magazine ed- itors and writers in New York the other day Lord Northcliffe reiterated his warnings against excessive cen sorship, and advised this nation not to repeat the blunders that were made by the British government at the out set of the, from which Great Britain is only now beginning to recover.
 If there had been more freedom of newspaper discussion in the earlier stages of the war fewer regulations would now be blackened by reports of official commissions of inquiry plac- ing the blame for events that occur red year or more ago.
 Criticism quickly applied, such as that which free newspapers and mag azines furnish, will do more to correct abuses before they have grown into irretrievable national disasters than can any amount of findings delivered by belated official commissions of in- quiry.-Chicago News.

A NICE POLITICAL
 PATRONAGE SCHEME

It is candidly admitted by Demo- cratic Congressman from Texas, 6 member of the Interstate Commerce Committee that reported the war in surance and pension bill, that the placing of the pension system under the administration of MT. McAdoo is to provide more political appoint ments for members of his party. The scheme of the committee is to take the administration of pension laws re- lating to the European war perma- nently away from the existing Pen sion Bureau, and lodge it with the Treasury Department. Republican Representative Phillip P. Campbell of Kansas pertinently remarked, "That will provide for additional deserving Democrats" "I think so," admitted the Texan It would be hard to find a more bare-faced political scheme than this, which proposes to disre- gard the existing organization of the Bureau of Pensions, made efficient by fifty years of experience, and estab- fish a new bureau with an entirely new and untrained force of clerks.

ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE
 IS VERY DANGEROUS

In a recent issue of the official bull letin, the United States food adminis- tration presents an extended discus sion of the sugar situation and the importance of our imports of raw sugar from Cuba. Among other things the statement says that the total production of cane and beet sugar in the United States is only a little over one million tons, while our total consumption is about four times that quantity. Says the food admin istration: "It is evident therefore that every encouragement should be given to this, one of our most import ant domestic industries"
 This admission is particularly in, teresting since it comes from an ad, ministration which in the campaign oi 1912 denounced the Republican party for maintaining a tariff on sugar When the Democratic tariff law ot 1913 was drawn it provided for a re. duction in the sugar duty and fol the ultimate absolute removal of pro, tection to this industry. Fortunately the administration was prevailed up. on to repeal that clause of the tariff act which would have placed sugar on the free list.
 Commenting on the situation the food administration says that aside from the million tons "there is nc sugar that would be available for con- sumption in the United States if our coasts were blockaded by foreign powers, as Germany's now are"
 It is to be hoped that war emer- gencies have duly impressed upon the Wilson administration the folly of an economic policy that means depend ence rather than independence.

RATHER STALE "NEWS".

Secretary Bakers semi-occasional official resumes of the war situation cannot be classified as Scoops" For instance, he says, in a recent outgiv- ing, that the objectives of Sir Doug las Haig's present drives in Flanders are Zeebrugge and Ostend, the naval bases which the Germans have set up on the Belgian coast. Military com mentators in Europe told us this many weeks ago, and Haig's advance has been pricked off on every observ- CTS map to emphasize the menace to the German communication with the sea. It would be a pleasing diver sion in the official communiques from the War and Navy Departments if they would some times deal with the present instead of looking back so far into the past or so much into the dist ant future.

WILSON KNEW HONG
 BEFORE THE BREAK

In the course of a very laudatory editorial concerning the diplomatic work of this administration, a prom inent non-partisan periodical says, Long before the final break with Germany occurred, the President knew it to be inevitable" The inter esting and important question is "How long before?" The break came in the early days of April, 1917. In the early days of November, 1916, on- ly five months before, President Will son was seeking reelection upon the plea that he had "kept us out of war" and that the election of Republican meant precipitation of the nation in to war. In war that had been in progress two years and a half and in which the sinking of the Lusitania was an early incident, period Hong before the break" would seem to ex- tend pretty close to the time when the President was taking the votes of the people upon the assurance that his election meant continued peace, In any event, the "long before the break" would cover the time when the President asserted that the Allies and Germany were fighting for the same ends and that there should be "peace without victory"

upon the Cock, which will lose many feathers. It will soon be exhausted, but for the Leopard and it's claws.
 The Black Eagle, who will come from the land of Luther, will make surprise attack upon the Cock.
 The White Eagle will come from the north.
 The Black Eagle will find itself forced to let go the Cock in order to fight the White Eagle, whereupon the Cock will have to pursue the Black Eagle into the land of the An tichrist to aid the White Eagle.
 The battle fought up to that time will be as nothing compared to that which will take place in the Lutheran country.
 When the beast finds himself lost he will become furious.
 Men will be able to cross the rivers over the bodies of the dead.
 The Antichrist will sue for peace many times but the seven angels, who march before three animals of the land, will have proclaimed that victory will not be given except on conditions that Antichrist shall be crushed like straw on the threshing floor.

The three animals will not be per- mitted to cease fighting as long as Antichrist has soldiers.
 It will be made manifest that the combat which will be fought out in that part of the country in which Antichrist forges his arms, is no hu- man conflict. The animal defenders of the Lamb will exterminate the last army of Antichrist.
 Antichrist will lose his crown, and die in solitude and madness. His em- pire will be divided into 22 states, but none will have any longer any Qualifications, army or ships of war. The White Eagle, by order of Michael, will drive the Crescent out of Europe, where there will be no longer any but Christians. He will install himself at Constanople.

 Germany is the Black Eagle.
 Austria, her ally, has also an eagle.

GERMAN TOYS
 AFTER THE WAR"

Consul Felix s. Johnson who repre- sents the United States at Kingston, Ontario, says that there is an oppor- tunity for the sale of American toys in that province. He also says that prior to the war German toys domi- mated that field. He might also have added that prior to the war German toys largely dominated the American field and after the war is over the in jured soldiers of the German army who are not fit for other occupations will be making toys for the American and Canadian markets unless the American government be placed in the control of men who believe in maintaing a protective tariff.

PROPER USE OF
 EXPLOSIVES PERMITTED

Representative Harold Knutson, of Minnesota, subjected the recent so- called explosives bill to a rigid scru- tiny before giving it his support, in order to satisfy himself that it per- mitted the use and storage of pow. der by homesteaders on the timbered sections of the country. Mir. Knut- sons constituents frequently resort to blasting to rid the land of stumps, and to prepare it for agriculture, and to compel them to adopt other meth ods would be a real hardship. The bill as passed merely requires such persons to secure license to handle explosives.

If you have not already purchased bonds to the limit of your resources, buy again on this day. If it is not possible for you to buy more, induce some friend to invest in the the bonds. Your government is offering you a safe investment with a good rate of interest to help fight the war of deinocra- cy. It Is a privilege to invest in such bond for such a pur- pose.

BAKER NOT so NARROW.

The knit clothing which Josephus Daniels will not permit our sailors to accept from the women of the Navy League will be gratefully taken by Newton Baker for the use of our sol- diers. Thus the Sammies will profit at the expense of the Jackies; and the monumental pettiness of the man who heads the navy in the day of the greatest war of history will remain unabated.

NEwTON'S REAL JOB.

The Philadelphia Press thinks that the new collector of customs at New York has been named to gather in the duties rather than to defend the la- dies who are picketing the White House. Our understanding is that Collector Newton was appointed to help out the McAdoo boom--whether for Governor of New York or for President in 1920, or for both, being not yet fully determined.

 DO THEIR PART NOW Says War Department Is Not Called Upon to Solve Race Problem of
 Such Long Standing in
 the Nation

Washington, December 4.-(special.) Some S3,6oO negroes have been drafted for service in the national army to be sent overseas.
 Secretary of War Newton D. Baker, in working out his plans for the train Ing of these men, has met with many difficulties, First of all, he has had tc contend with those friends of the negro who have felt that it was Secretary Bakers special duty at this time tc attempt to solve or settle the so-calle6 race question in America. Second, ne gro leaders from all parts of the coun- try have importuned the war depart ment in various and sundry directions while the peculiar southern situation, where the masses of the negroes live, has had to be taken into account
 Because of these difficulties, the Sec retary of War called to his aid, on Oc- tober 1, 1917, as special assistant in the war department, representative of the negro race, Emmett J. Scott, who for IS years was secretary to the late Booker T. Washington, and also secre- tary of the Tuskegee Normal and In dustrial institute in Alabama. Scott has a wide acquaintance among mem bers of his own race, and with lead south, as well as with leaders of thought and public opinion in the north He has sought to relieve the Secretary of
