War Prophecy Is
Made Record Of Court

San Francisco, Jan. 18.-A prophecy
written last May, of war events in Rus
sia and Italy, which has happened as
predicted, was read into the records
by United States District Attorney
Preston during today's session of the
Hindu plot trial in federal court. The
letter, declared to have been written
by Takarnah Das, one of the defend
ants to an unnamed young woman pre-
dicted big events in Russia as well as
the Austro-German offensive in Italy
last fall. 1t was submitted by Preston
TO show that the alleged Hindu con
spirators had underground wires y
whereby they were kept informed of
secret war plans.
The letter in part, follows:
"Russia will not fight. Things are
going to happen, In case you do not
know it, the reds wanted to destroy the
Root party by various means, even to
setting fire to bridges and trains.
"This means the allies will have to
bear the brunt of the German often
sive, already starting in the west. 1t
will not be limited to the west entire
ly. I happen to know that Italy will
be the next victim. "

New York, Jan. 1S.-The attitude OF

was absolutely unable to locate state
where the right kind of bout could
be produced. Ten rounds would not be
sufficient. 1t would have to be at least
20 rounds and l couldn't t find the pro-
per place. Willard also has made things
too hard for the promoter. 1t ism t

the Armenian relief fund campaign
within the city. Most of the workers and
teams had covered their territory last
evening and a few second calls and fol-
low up calls remained to be made today
to see those who could not be seen on
other occasions. The regular noon lunch
con at the Y. M. @. A. was not held
today and up to press hour no complete
report of the funds secured during the
drive could be obtained. The last re-
port to be had was that published in

tai tunds then received to be $S,695.4S.
Voluntary contributions are yet coming
in and the committee expects that the
total sum which win be secured within

win be around the $4,000 mark. Few of
the outside points in the county have
yet reported, and the rural routes out
of Salem have not yet all been gone
