Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1917-02-09

four great nations upon whom the de-
cisions must rest will see no way out
at first. Their solution will be indi-
Gated in the last part Of my vision
which will presently describe.
After / had seen the vision the first
time l groaned aloud and said, II have
seen a vision. and 1 cannot remember
it; what shall / do?" Exactly as If !
had said, please give me that reel
over again, the whole panorama
PASSED before me the second time in
every detail as at first. This time my
responsibility seemed so great that l
sat with hands clenched and every
faculty alert. / noticed more OF the
details the second time. l especially
noticed how happy the last one Of the
four looked when he, too, Whirled in
such splendid form and faced me. l
am sure that he, at least, at this time
more military visor cap and was
without a beard.
Each of the four men in turn as he
faced me indicated that he wished me
to see that he had disarmed by ex-
tending his hands to show that they
were empty and then as he slowly
disappeared and he stood clad in what
| supposed at the time to be full Rus
sian costume, and all wore full boards.
1t was because / have supposed that
Russia was to be all powerful in Eur
ope that 1 have many times refused
to allow my vision to be made public.
Recently I saw an Englishman with
a full beard, dressed exactly as these
four men were and have decided that
these men were simply dressed In win
ter costume ard the fact that they
looked almost alike indicates only the
desired World Federation. Or it may
indicate that Russia is the first to Of
fer to form a Republic and enter a
United States of the World"
If the four nations, who were left in
the limelight at the close Of the war,
had been victorious they would not
have looked so hopeless so I interpret
that truce is to follow the war before
Il complete victory is gained by eths r
side. Otherwise, it would indicate that
practically the whole Of Europe, pos
sihly the whole world will be in ruin
when the war closes. Must this be?
The fact that they were dressed as
common men would signify that kings
| had been done away with Whatever
was their message of complete disarm-
amert. United Government OF ho.n.
they seemed most hopeful and enthus-
iastic. Immediately they commenced
to lose their expression. Soon 7 could
see the figures OF the wall paper
through their clothing and finally they
FADED until only a spot of shadow was
7 iett Of each one. Terrified, I turned
away, feeling that an awful respons-
ibiiitY had been cast upon me. Again
l said aloud II shall have to tell this
and people will not believe me, but
will ridicule me-
Three hours later when my husband
returned he could see that was
still trembling.
Hope of Truce.
am allowing this to be printed at
tn's tlfne, not because I expect that
many Will feel that it is significant or
that al can believe that it was not
merely day dream or an halIucina-
ton. but because 1t may help some to
grasp the possibility Of a revolution In
government as great as has been the
revolution in the world of material sci
ence in the past so years and that
complete disarmament IS possible.
IL interpret correctly the next thing
prophesied in my vision will be the
event which will cause all the rest Of
Europe to feel that they must do some
thing to stop the war. They ali rush
toward the field Of battle and inne-
diately the war is over. Who knows
but that instead Of being a fesr7,,1
