Plenty of Coal.

There does not seem to be any
reason why we may not get all
the coal we need this winter.
Our local dealers say they will be
able to supply all demands. Of
course the price seems high, when
compared with that paid before
the war, but it will take a little
time to get the war initiation out
of prices. In report issued last
Friday on railroad operations for
the month of October, 1918, Hale
Holden, director of railroads for
the central western region, said
that the coal outlook for the com.
ing winter is better than at any
time since 1915; that the country
is stocked with greater supply
of coal than ever known before;
that the mines are producing
more than ever before in their
history and that the railway ad-
ministration is confident that
there will be no lack of fuel
through failure of transporta-
ton.

To Keep Highway Open.

In a report submitted to
Lieutenant Governor McClain,
counsel of the Lincoln Highway,
Commissioner O'Neil stated 24S
miles of the highway had re-
ceived surface treatment, twenty
two and a half miles recon-
structed and seven concrete
bridges built, the total spent on
the highway this year amounting
to STAT, ,505, 7S. The commits
sioner says this expenditure was
necessitated largely on account
of the thousands Of United
States army trucks which used
this highway during the year. I"
Commissioner O'Neil said
daily weather bulletins will be
posten along the Lincoln High
way this Winter and men at
Stoyestown, Bedford, McCon-
nellsburg. Chambersburg, Get
tysburg and Ligonier will tele-
graph the conditions to United
States Weather Bureaus in the
State. He says the highway
will be open all Winter.

Shooting Accident.

What might have been a fatal
shooting accident occurred in Todd
township last Friday, when Ralph
Kerlin, mistook his cousin, Nor.
man Kerlin for wild turkey. 1t
seems Norman was out in quest Of
turkeys, when he saw his uncle Bert
Kerlin coming through the woods,
but did not know of Ralph's pres.
ence. In a spirit of fun Norman
gave a couple calls to arouse the
spirit of his uncle, and az he did
so, he lodged behind a bush. His
cousin Ralph, who was in another
direction heard the calls and seeing
the moving object in the direction
from which the sound came, sup
posed it was a turkey, and fired.
The bullet from the 32 cartridge
struck Norman in the left chest and
we understand penetrated the lung
Latest reports are that the young
man is resting well and hopes fol
his speedy recovery are entertained
by DR.. Mosser, the attending phys.
clan.

Gas Fumes for Rats.

We read in a magazine recently,
where a man had taken his Ford car,
attached a piece of hose to the ex'
haust pipe, put the other end down
a rat hole under his barn, started
the engine and let the gas fumes be
forced into the rat harbor. After
a few minutes he raised part of the
flooring and was astonished to find
a couple dozen dead rats.
We took little stock in the story
at the time, but since the occurrence
at McClain's garage Sunday night,
and the attendent result of the es'
Gaping gas in the motor truck, we
are constrained to give credence to
the story, and give it to our readers
with the hope that any Of them be
ing troubled with rats, will apply
the remedy with good results. This
gives q new and useful way of uti'
lizing the exhaust from your Tin Liz

Overcome With Gas.

The two drivers who operate the

Truck" which makes regular trips

ly escaped death at this place last
Sunday night, by being overcome
with gas. while sleeping in the truck
in McClain's garage. During the
night they became cold, and one of
them started the engine to make
their quarters more comfortable. A
leak in the exhaust, which had moi
been discovered, caused the gas tc
escape into the truck body and they
were overcome with the fumes
When Mr.. McClain opened his gar
age Monday morning he found the
two men unconscious and in pre-
carious condition, a doctor was sum
moned and by heroic work succeed
ed in resuscitating them. Had Mr.,
McClain been delayed few minutes
longer in opening his garage, death
would have claimed two more
victims.

BRINGING SOLDIERS HOME.
Perf,ctiDg Plans for Return Of Boys
From England and France.

Arrangements are belng
rapidly perfected for the return
Of American troops from abroad.
In the immediate future virtually
all troops in England will have
sailed for home, while every ship
returning from France is bring
ing all it can comfortably trans
port.
The number of men in Eng
land is not large, but it is quite
probable that many units will be
returned from France via Eng
land, coming across on British
steamers that touch American
ports.
Transhipments of troops, how
ever, makes for delay and adds
greatly to the expense involved,
and it is doubted that large num-
bers of men in France will come
via england. especially in view
of the fact that the British Gov
ernment must furnish transpor-
tation across the English channel
for large numbers of her own
troops and those of her colonial
possessions who also desire to get
back to their normal occupations
as quickly as possible.
Considerable numbers Of
wounded and sick Americans are
now arriving at our ports from
day to day. This number will
increase. Meanwhile a large
number of air service men are
en- route from England and other
active units will soon start on
the homeward journey as camps
are made ready here to receive
them and muster t h e m out.
The task of bringing back
l, 900, 900 men from France is
less difficult than the transporta-
tion of the same number in the
other direction only to the ex.
tent that the elimination of the
German submarine has made the
voyage less dangerous. On the
other hand, the severe winter
weather naturally a d DIS some.
what to the size of the task OF
bringing the boys back.
Soon the machinery for the re.
turn of the units designated by
General Pershing will be .ir
smooth running other and the
army and navy will cooperate as
closely in bringing them back as
in taking them over, naval crews
manning tn e transports an q
many of the big freighters which
will bring back troops as:their
return cargo.
Just how long a time will be
required to get all General Perish.
ing's forces back to this country
cannot be stated. Some army
officers of high rank expect t
see them coming back a yeal
hence. This will be controlled
to some extent by the signing o.
the final peace conventions anC
the release of the Allied-Ameri
can army of occupation.

PROPHECY PRINTED IN
1914 IS NOW VERIFIED
Downfall of Kaiser FOretOld by Monk
Who Predicted World War.


A month after the war began
there was printed special cable
from Paris carrying extracts from
an article in the Figaro upon
series of prophecies alleged to
have been written by monk three
centuries before the outbreak of
the war. These alleged prophe-
cies foresaw many of the events
and conditions of the war and are
reprinted, so that a comparison of
the text with recent events may
be made. The special cable said:
The Figaro, which is now is
suing a small edition in Bordeaux,
besides its usual four pages in
Paris, on its first page publishes
an extraordinary translation of Il
Latin prophecy alleged to have
been written by monk, Brother
Johannes, in the year 1900, de.
scribing the destruction Of Anti
christ in a great war. Following
are some significant passages:
"rhe real Antichrist will be one
of the monarchs of his time. A
son of Luther will invoke God,
proclaiming himself his envoy.
lie will have only one arm. His
armies, which will appear lnnu.
merable, will take for their device
the words, God with u.s. (the motto
actually stamped on the Prussians'
belts.) He will long act by ruse
and treachery, and his spies will
oyer-run the earth, but war will
furnish the occasion for his throw.
ing off the mask not that war
waged against the French mon.
archy, but another easily recognlz.
ed, because in two weeks it will
become universal, bringing into
battle the most distant peoples,
Armies will form at the four corn
ers OF the earth. Antichrlst will
massacre priests, women, children,
and the aged. He will show no
mercy, holding the torch like the
barbarians, but invoking Christ.
There will be an eagle in his arms,
also in those of his acolyte, the
other bad monarch, who, Chris.
tian, will die thru the curse of Pope
Benedictus.
"To conquer Antichrist more
men must be killed than Rome
held. 1t will require the efforts
of all the kingdoms. This will
happen twenty centuries after the
incarnation of Gods word"
The prophecy" is contributed
by a writer signing himself "Pe'
ladan," who, after showing Its
application to the present war,
says that it Is only the first part
and that he will give the rest later.
The Figaro makes no comment.
The Petit Journal prints another
prediction said to have appeared
early this year in an almanac pub
lished in the Indian native state of
Jodpore and to have been brought
to the EDITORS notice by a Hindu
named Varma, living in Paris,
whose two sons have just )ined
the foreign legion.
"ln the month of july" says
the prediction, "all Europe will be
upset by war setting In conflict
the greatest powers, accompanied
by enormous disaster. In Novem
Der a great emperor will lose his
crown and the war will end"
Many persons, remembering
the prophecy, which seemed bit
extravagant in 1914, have called
attention to its accuracy.
