and that thousands OF them paid for that duty

Inspired by sucil experiences 1t Is no wonder
that General White is a bit impatient with the
Britsher or Canadian who has been under the
protection Of the British flag for years. who has
enjoyed the liberty and the various advantages
claimed by those living or claiming the rights of
those living under that flag, and yet who declines

Several months, no doubt, will pass before the
conventions providing reciprocal draft privileges
are approved by the United States senate and
Arrangements are perfected for making the draft
effective. The reason the United States senate
must first pass on the conventions Is because ex.
listing treaties between the United States and
Great Britain are to be changed somewhat by
them.
One odd phase Of the situation and one that
causes some confusion. Is the different age period
Of the draft In the United States Great Britain
and Canada. Brtlshers from eighteen to forty
one may be drafted. Canadians between twenty
and thirty-four. and citizens Of the United States
between twenty-one and thirty.one Still another
odd phase Is the first papers proposition. The
United States draft authorities claim every Brit.
Usher and Canadian who has taken out first natur-
alization papers. but these men are all regarded
as British subjects by the British government and
as such not only at liberty to volunteer but sub
ject to the British and Canadian draft provisions
MS soon as they become effective In the United
States.

madam recruiting mission under the leadership
OF Brig. Gen. w. A. White, G. NJ. G., to draft every
Britisher and Canadian now residing In the United
States. and the United States to draft every one
OF Its citizens who lives In Great Britain or
Canada.
This Is very important matter particularly
for the Britishers and Canadians, because there
are at least 100000 of them over whom Old Glory
waves, and the names and addresses Of at least
l75OOO of them are known to General White and
his stan because they have been taken from the
draft records OF the United States. Many Of
these are coming forward every day Of their own
accord. but the recruiting mission wants every
man Of them who Is physically ft to volunteer for
the British or Canadian armies. About 1900
have already gone into these armies, and In one
month recently over half Of the recruits secured
for the Canadian expeditionary forces came from
the United States.
When Brlgadler General White asks a man to
fight he doesn't ask him to do any more than he
has done himself. He Is an officer In the regular
army Of Great Britain, and that he lost no time
himself In getting into the fray is shown by the
fact that he reached Belgium about August Q,

Accurately Many Began
Not Ages Ago. Prophecy Known to Be as Old as 1890

detailed as to preclude the idea Of
chance coincidence.
As far as we know the prophecy
was found among the papers Of the
late Adrien Peladan, a Frenchman
who made prophecies his hobby and
who published a work in three vol
umes on the subject In 1890 his
son, himself a student Of religious
manifestations. found the Latin
manuscript of the prophecy among
him, his father came into possession
OF this manuscript through a monk
OF Saint Michel de Frigolet. near
Tarascon, who in turn received il
from the Able Donat, an aged priest
and scholar.
N. PeIadan believes that the sup
posed author, brother Johannes, was
a monk who lived in the 10th CEN
fury. He translated the Latin manu-
script into French and published It in
the columns Of the Figaro. Natur-
ally at that time il attracted but lit
tie notice, for the events foretold
were so fantastic and improbable that
II seemed but the Authorizations of
demented Individual
In October. 1914, however, II was
republished, this time causing a SEN
sation. But so many things have
happened since that time and so
many points in the prophecy have re-
ceived what appears to be confirma-
over again IN the light OF the present
situation. The condolences are 50

black eagle represents Germany; the
cock, France; the leopard, England:
the white eagle, Russia. Here is the
full text of the prophecy:
