TRUCK FREIGHT
BUSINESS FAST
GROWING HERE
Good Chance for Company to
Establish Regular Routes
and Make Money, As
SertS Gillian.

No other American city has de-
-veloped the business Of automobile
truck freighting as has Omaha, yet
the business here is as yet in its
infancy and is unorganized, accord
ing to Industrial Commissioner Gil
Ian of the Chamber of Commerce
Hundreds of trucks. owned by in
d!viduals, are used to haul live stock
from rural points as distant as so
miles, to the packing houses. taking
back loads of freight for the COM
munities.
There are no regular or system
attic schedules of operation and
there is considerable waste in the
methods, due to a lack OF co-ordinA
ton
Chance for Big Company.
THE success of the freighting
methods, crude as they are, demon
strates the possibilities of this
method of transportation" said Mr..
Gillian. There is a splendid oppor-
unity for the creation of d strong
corporation, say one capitalized at
100000, to put on fleet OF trucks
and operate 10 or / different routes
out of Omaha. These trucks should
be equipped with pneumatic tires.
The first cost of such equipment
might be large, but the prevention
CT skidding and wear and tear on
the machine, and the deterioration
Of the roads, which are the natural
results of hard tires, would justify
the expenditure. This has been
proven in Ohio and other states.
Routes should be long ones, say
50 miles. This would develop GER
tain tonnage and serve a number of
small towns.
( One Route Cited.
Right now. with the cessation OF
rive: navigation from Decatur to
Omaha, there is a splendid opening
ftr some enterprising truck owner.
It would be profitable venture for
sore man to put on truck that
would leave Omaha and haul
complete load of freight to Decatur
in a day. As there is also a great
deal of freight having from Te-
hannah to Decatur, he could return
to Tekanah the same night, get a
load for Decatur at that point, de
liver it, and the next morning have
enough freight accumulation for
full return load to Omaha.
The daily mileage in both in
stances would be the same, II
miles. As the river is unnavigable
tive months in the year, route of
this kind would be profitable all
the year The roads are
good with the exception of one
hill during rainy times,

fections nor a stronger pull at my
heart strings. Bridau and | became
fast friends 10 years ago. At first |

braggart, and famboyant blust-
erer, whose chief aim in life was
money, money, money!
But as | grew to know him |
grew also to understand his eccen-
tricities. Then | began to love
him. and now, 10 years later, | find
him none the less charming because
OF the years that have passed, but,
on the contrary, more human, more

White Eagle
1.-THE battles 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.
"Antichrist will sue for peace many
times, but the seven angels, who march
before three animals of the Lamb, will
have proclaimed that victory will not
be given except as on the conditions
that Antichrist shall be crushed like a
straw on the threshing floor.
"The three animals will not be per-
mitted to cease fighting as long as Anti
christ has soldiers.
1T will be made manifest that the
combat, which will be fought out in
that part of the country in which Anti
crist FORCES his terms, is no human con-
fict. The animal defenders of the Lamb
will exterminate the last army of Anti
christ.
"Antichrist will lose his crown and
die in solitude and madness. His en-
pire will be- divided into twenty-five
states, but none will have any longer
any fortiications, army or ships of war.
1.-THE White Eagle, by order of Mich
ael, will drive the Crescent out of Eur
ope, where there will be no longer any
but Christians. He will install himself

CURIOUS PROPHECY
TELLS OF WORLD WAR
Written Over 800 Years Ago, It Port
rays Issues and Outcome Of
Present Conflict

Denver Post: Fratre Johannes
was a monk, who dwelt in the cloist-
err and the abbey about the year
1900. He had visions in the night,
and they all pertained to the present
world conflict, as is shown by his
prophecies. His predictions and dis
cussions on the war which is now
raging at it's fullest height we're
written on parchment.
On account of a few discrepancies
in the text, the matter of his pro-
phecies was referred to the Posts
newspaper information bureau at
Washington. Director Frederic J..
Haskins replied to the question as
to the authenticity Of the ancient
text of the monk.
The explanation of the war fore
sights is to be understood under the
following code:
Germany is the black eagle.
Austria an ally Of Germany, also
has an eagle.
Russia is the white eagle.
France is the cock.
England, the British empire, is the
leopard.
The reply of Director Haskins fol-
lows:
I'm reply to your letter asking wheth-
err the prophecy by the monk. Fratre
Johannes, is real, we would say that
this prophecy was discovered on old
parchment in the convent of the Holy
Ghost, at Wiemar, in Germany, and is
kept under glass in the town hall of
that city. There have been numerous
translations, whose texts vary some
what.
"The discrepancies which we noted,
and which you also may notice, are
probably due to the variations in the
translation Of the text. On the whole,
it is remarkable prophecy"
It is as follows:
'"The real Antichrist will be one of
the monarchs Of his time, Lutheran
protestant. He will invoke God and give
himself out as his messenger, or apostle.
""This prince of lies will swear by the
Bible. He will represent himself as
the arm of the most high, sent to chas-
tise corrupt peoples.
Morris tribune., 1918-10-04

HE will have only one arm, but his
innumerable armies, who will take for
their advice the words, God is with us,
will resemble the internal regions.
WILL HIRE WISE MEN TO PROVE
HIS CLAIM
For a long time he will act by craft
and strategy. His spies will overrun
the earth, and he will be master of the
secrets of the mighty. He will have
learned men in his pay, who will MAIN
tain and undertake to prove his celestial
mission.
"a war will afford him the opportun-
ity of throwing off the mask. 1t will
not be in the first instance war which
he will wage against a French mon
arch. But it will be one of such "a
nature that, after two weeks, all will
realize it's universal character.
mot only all Christians, but all
Mussulmans, but even more distant peo-
pies, will be involved, Armies will be
involved from the four quarters Of the
earth.
For by the third week the angels
will have opened the minds of men who
will preceive that the man is Antichrist
and that all will become his slaves if
they do not overthrow this would be
conqueror.
"Antichrist will be recognized by
various tokens-in special he will mass
acre the priests, the monks, the women,
the children and the aged. He will
show no mercy, but will pass torch in
hand, like the barbarians, but invoking
Christ.
Ills words of imposture will resemble
those of Christians.
"He will have an eagle in his arms,
there will also be an eagle in the arms
of his confederate. But the latter will
be a Christian and will die from the
ma1ediction of Pope Benedict, who will
be elected at the beginning of the reign
of AntichriSt.
"In order to conquer Antichrist it will
be necessary to kill more men than
Rome has ever contained. 1t will need
the energies of the kingdoms because the
Cock, the leopard and the White Eagle
will not be able to make an end of the
Black Eagle without the aid of the
prayers and the vows of all the human
race.
Never will humanity have been
faced with such a peril, because the
triumph of the Antichrist would be that
of the demon, who will have taken pos
session of his personality.
For it has been said that twenty
centuries after the incarnation of the
Word, the beast will be incarnate in
his turn, and will menace the world with
AAA~e$A
has brought it graces.
Toward the year 1000 Antichrist will
be made manifest. His army will sur
pass in number anything that can be
imagined. There will be Christians
among his cohorts and there will be
Mohammedans among the defenders of
the Lamb, as we'll as some heather SOL
diers.
For the first time the Lamb will be

of the four elephants at once.
1.-The Black Eagle will hurl itself upon
the Cock, which will lose many feathers.
1t 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 a sur
prise attack upon the Cock.
''The White Eagle will come from the
north.
1.-THE Black Eagle will find itself
forced to let go the Cock in order to
fight the White Eagle, whereupon the
