Bible STUDENTS
SAY WAR IS TO
END ON MARCH |
That is Way They Interpret
Allegory of Beast in Book
of Revelation.
The war will end March 1.

The war will end March 1.
At least that is what the very latest
Of the war prophecies declares, &C
cording to those who have studied it
1t is not really a new prophecy eth
er, for it is part of the Book of Revel-
alton, and Biblical students have been
interested in it for some time. The
recent peace talk and the reports OF
strikes in Germany has made many
believe that it will prove the first &C
curate forecast of the termination OF
the struggle.
The part On which the prophecy is
based is as follows:
And 1 stood upon the sand of the
sea, and saw beast rise up out Of
the sea, having seven heads and ter
horns, and upon his horns ten crowns
and upon Ais heads the name of bias
phemy.
And the beast which I saw was
like unto a leopard, and his feet weri
as the feet of bear, and his mouth
as the mouth of a lion; and the
dragon gave him his power, and hi!
seat, and great authority.
And I saw one of his heads, as i
were, wounded to death; and hi
deadly wound was healed; and all thu
world wondered at the beast.
And they worshipped the dragon
| which gave power unto the beast, ant
they worshipped the beast, saying
/ Who is like unto the beast? VIII
| is able to make war with him.
S"And there was given unto him I
mouth speaking great things and bias
| phemies; and power was given uSt
him to continue forty and tw
months"
The most striking part Of tn
prophecy is the reference to the for
ty and two months" which is to b
the time of ''the beasts" power. 9TH

Bernstorff Should Haze
Been Executed, He Says

WABASH, Ind, Jan. 31.-"The Unit
ed States made it's biggest mistake
when it gave Won Bernstorff. the mas
ter spy Of them all. his passports out
Of this country. He should have been
treated as the meanest kind OF spy,
stood up against stone wall and shot.
Then we would have had many OF our
problems solved"
This was the outspOken sentiment
Of Charles A Bookwalter, OF Indianap-
oils and the Rev. Charles L. DeBow,
OF Lagrange, at the mass meeting
which closed the war conference here
last night.
Mr. Bookwalter spoke at length on
the things necessary from every per-
son in the state to win the war. one
Of the biggest being to fight the Ger
man in this country. I'VE belonged in
this war in 1916 Mr.. Bookwalter
said, and continued, "but we were not
prepared If the President had start
ed to prepare for the war then the
nation would not have stood for it.
l, however, am for compulsory mill
tary training and prefer that my boy
go over there and fight with the Brit
ish and the French, knowing they are
protecting their mothers and sisters,
rather than have them fight here.
Let's carry the war to the kaiser. He
wanted it. Let's give it to him.
He said that the United States had
been invaded, time and time again, by
the Germans and now it was neces-
sary to invade Germany.
