AN EARLY PREDICTION

Dell Rapids Times Tribune: A par
agraph In our Huntimer news this
week Is of special interest. Our cor
respondent calls attention to a very
remarkable prediction that was made
to him by Archbishop Ireland when
| the latter was a student at Louyain.
He predicted then, he says, that the
Prussians would one day attach
France and defeat her, but England
and the United States, would com
pletely annihilate them IN a second
war. Since this prediction was made
more than half a century ago. when
France and England were yet tradi-
tional enemies, and the purpose OF
the Huns had not yet appeared as 1t
did later upon the bulletin board OF
ayowed plan and preparation, the full
fllment Of the prediction, first In 1871
when the Prussians Inundated France
and again in the present war when
there can be no question OF its pro-
phetic ending, is one OF the remark
able events in history. We do no
remember OF ever reading before OF
such a prophecy having been made by
MIR. ireland, and it may be q fortunate
instance for history that our cerres-
pendent now brings IL to a matter OF
record. Archbishop Ireland. now
nearing the end of a long and useful
life. has always proven suck a broad
minded and patriotic citizen that ne
las been greatly admired BY all the
people of this country.
