The famous Prophecy of Jo-
hannes," hundreds of years old and
much referred to during the present
war because of the direct bearing it
seems to have upon the conflict, has
been invested with a new signif-
canoe by a well-known Harrisburg
wide reading. This prophecy fore
tells the struggle of the nations
which are designated by various
birds and beasts What interests us
is that the black eagle, generally un-
derstood to mean Germany under
the dominance of the black eagle of
Prussia, is to be finally vanquished
by the white eagle. Now" re-
| marked this Harrisburg man, I'VE
have always considered Russia to be
the white eagle. The eagle is our ma
| tional bird and he is certainly q
white eagle and in white cause.
He is to be from the North. We are
North Americans and the eagle is a
| northern bird. To my mind, he is
| the one which will defeat the black
eagle. And further more, the proph-
| ecy says that the white eagle shall
| reign at Constantinople. Napoleon
said that the nation which has that
| city dominates the world. The ma
tions have been unable to agree upon
would have been kicked out long
ago. Now here we are not inter-
ested in the brawls of the old world
\ and interested in getting the square
deal. Why would it not be possible
for our white eagle to be the en-
blem of the power that is to hold the
Dardanelles in trust for the rest of
mankind. Read the prophecy and
think over what l have said"

There is a good bit of truth in
the Associated Highways Associa-
tions which is calling to the atten-
ton of the people of Pennsylvania
the vital importance of the S50,0O0,-
600 road bond issue. 1t carries as it's
slogan, The road to Berlin is
| through Pennsylvania" Harrisburg
ers who were in Germany years ago
used to remark upon the familiarity
with Pennsylvania, it's iron and coal
industries, its railroads and roads,
possessed by every Prussiah army
officer with whom they talked. Now
| it is recognized that the roads that
carry the men, the supplies, the
munitions that are blazing the path
to the capital of the Hohenzollerns
are through Pennsylvania. 1t only
takes glance at the map to see
what crosses the Keystone State be-
tween Lake Erie and the Delaware.
1t is q gateway as we'll as a place
of great production and the passing
of new trains of army trucks over
the state highways is only the COM
mencement of traffic that will
grow greater as the war continues.

Harrisburg hotels are showing the
effects of the influenza outbreak in
reduced numbers of guests. The
registers of the hotels here have
been showing dwindling lists for the
last ten days and there were fewer
men in the hotels over the weekend
than usual This is a serious propo-
lsition for the hotelmen as Harris
burg is not noted as a weekend
town. Travelling men have been
having trouble with trains and now
influenza is injuring their work,
Ithey say. "We," said a hotelman
yesterday, "are getting it all around"
Game pirates, unlicensed hunters
and hunters with licenses and no re-
gard for the game code have been
giving the states game protectors
and state policemen considerable
trouble, especially in mining regions
of the state and imposition of some
stiff penalties upon the men who
have been making the trouble will
De asked Dy SldIS OillCGES CduSiHS dl-
rests. Throughout the southern tier
of counties there have been raids
on wild turkeys and even some grouse
have been reported shot, while in
western counties closed counties have
had annoyance from reckless hunt
ers and men who could not restrain
themselves. The northern tier has
lnot reported many violations. The
game hogs have also been increased
by the number of boys who have
been killing songbirds and insect
eaters by slingshots. Dozens of ar
rests have been made for this kind
of misdirected sport and magistrates
are being asked to do what they can
to break up the practice. Robins
have been the chief prey of boys.
Vicinity of the state game preserves
in Perry and Dauphin is being
watched just now to prevent raids
on the game which is straying
around in the woods and fields. This
| has been a very successful year in
| the game preserves and excellent re-
suits have been obtained so that
state officials feel that the public
is entitled to the sport and not men
who violate the game code in letter
and spirit. In some sections the deer
have been driven and shot at while
in others coveys have been chased
by dogs. Sunday hunters have been
giving trouble up the Susquehanna.
