JMade Prophecy
Of Present War
In 17 th Century
A most accurate prophecy of the
present war wa a made in the year
1600 In tbe Pari! newspaper. Fig
aro, according to an old clipping
which' is In the possession of a local
lawyer. The propheey was made by
Father Johannes and Is an amazing
Iy accurate statement of facts.
It waa made la allegorical form
and in order to understand It bet
ter, it should be considered that the
Cock repreeents France, the Leopard
England, the White Eagle Russia,
land the Black Ea^le and "the Other
Eagle" Germany and Austria. It
reads as follows:
I "In the 20t^' century, the Anti
christ will declare himself, his army
will be tremendous; Christians will
make up his cohorts but Mohamma
dons and soldiers from remote and
uncivilized regfpns even will be
among the defenders of the Lamb.
"For the first *\ime ihe lamb will
be -dyed red. There will not be one
tiny spot in all the Christian world1
which will not be dyed red, and ev
en the sky. the earth, the water and
the air will be crimson, for the blood
will flow and Encarnadlne the four
elements.
"The black eage will scoop upon
the cocks, who will loose many
reathers, but will, nevertheless, de
fend himself valiantly?with his spurs.
Were it not for the Leopard and his
claws he would be exhausted.
"The black eage who will come
from the land of Luther will fall
upon the cock from unexpected quar
ters and invade the half of his do
main. The white eagle, who will
corpe from the North, will fall upon
the black eagle aqd the other'eagfle
at an unguarded moment, and Vill
invada his kingdom of Antfchrlst from
one end to tho other. In order toi
fight the white eagle, the black'
eagle will be obliged to loosen his'
hold of tbe cook and the cock in turn
wl'l pursue. the black eagle Into the
land of Antichrist, so that he ma/f
aid the white eagle.
"The battle fought up to the time
will bo but trifling compared t?; those
waged in tbe land of Luther. For
the seven Angels will pour out of
their censors upon the Impious land,
and that signifies that tho lamb has
ordained the extermination of the
adborcr.ts of the Antichrist."
"WJien the black eagle and the al
ly percolvou that It is lost, it wll!
become infuriated; then for months
the bealj of the white eagle, the leo
pard'* claws and the cock's spura
will havo to combat together.
"The rivers can then bo forded
by crossing over tho dead bodies,
which piled, high in some places,
chs.ige the course uf the wsterd.
Only men of rank, eminent cap:nln&
nnd crowncd heads will receive bur
ial, for in addition to the slaughter
.of the battlefield,' famine and pesti
lence will claim their many vic
tims.
'Many times the Antichrist will
beg for peace, but the seven angola
will go ahead of the white eagle, the
leopard and" the oock, the defenders
of the lamb have proclaimed that
peace shall not bo granted until An
tlchrlst have been crushed as straw
on the threshing floor.
'?As^long as the Antichrist have
soldiers, the exocutors of the Lamtfs
will have to bear ar-*--.
"The Antichrist b ?'ared to pro
claim himself a Christian and the
defenders of the Lamb and for that
reason the Lamb will be Implaca
Ble.
"The battle which will be fought
where the Antichrist forces his arms
will be more than horrible. The
three animals, the defenders of the
Lamb will exterminate the army of
the Antichrist*. But when the bat
tle Is fought, It will require a funer
al pyre as big as a city, for the bod
ies of the slain will have changed |
the face of the counfry side.
"The Antichrist will loose his
crown, and will die solitary and in
sane. His empire will be divided
into 22 states, but not one possess
a fortress or an army or na-vy.
"The white eagle, commanded by
Lhe archangel. Michael, will drive
the crescent from, Europe, which
thereafter shall harbor only Chris
tian nations, and thenceforth the
white eagle shall dwell in Constanti
nople. Then shall begin an era of
peace and prosperity for the Unl
rerse, and there shall be no more
smr."
" "teach nation shall be governed
Recording to its own desire and live
in accordance with Its highest Ideals.
r. '''There shall be no more Luth
erans or other'sefcts. The Lamb will
reign and the fruits of true hutnan
trs^tflll be enjoyed.
"Fortunate indeed is he, who es
zaplng this time oT trial will be able
to on Joy th?J results or the new era,
which could not be brought about
until , the utter annihilation of the
Antichrist."
We call your attention to the
following two paragraphs especially:
"Tho greatest battle will be
Fought whore the Antichrist force
Ills arms. Now Easen Is in West
phalia, which state lias been desig
Dated In several other prophesies as
lhe scene of tho supreme struggle.
The empire AntlchrlBt is divided
in 22 states. This coincides with
lhe numbers of principalities which |
take up "the confederated states of'
tho German Empire. Above all tbej
conditions of the ultimate victory
depends not in the defeat of the An-|
tlchrlst, but in his utter extermina
tion." I

Editor Dally Now a.
Washington, N. C.
Dear Editor:
1 As subscribers to your paper and
citizens and taxpayers of Beaufort
'county, we aBk that you publish the
following letter which Is Intended
to expreBB our personal vlew9 of the
Red Hill Road proposition.
Is It fair that the people of Bath
and Pantego Townships contribute
very materially to a public road
scheme so distant when we are a dis
tance of twenty to thirty mites from i
Washington and have to do for our- J
selves everything that Is done in the
way of public road work? For us
to expect at any time any help from I
tho county fund would only result in)
a disappointment
In tho latter part nf laet year Bath(
Townrfhip used the convict force four
months at an approximate cost of
$2 500 Bath Township wns required
by the county to maintain the force.
In every respect, and In addition to
the malntalnance. pay the county I
$100 per month. We do not rren-i
tlon this In criticism of the policy of
managing the convict force. We
think It I? right that the force should
be made to support Itself. We rath-j
er mention this to confirm our,
statement that no assistance In com
ing to us from the oounty.
As a matter of charity, we think
there should be paid from the coun
ty funds a sum not excoedinp |.r?000,
the balance paid by the town of
Washington. Chornwlnity and Rich
land Townships, the whole of th*?
balance to he raised by bond Issue
and divided along equitable lines an
1 would be done In a drainage project.
It I* stated that the town of
\ Washington pays thirty to forty per
j cent of the county taxes This
we doubt, but. do not dispute. But
If It in true and we Rot nothing In
return for a like purpose, how does
that effect our Interest? There la
one thing we do hope and that is
that th? Board of Commissioners
will make It plain In dollars and
cents what the county Is to pay and
not accept any amount and stand for
the BALANCE.
If a concrete road la built, then
the people will have the advantage
from town will have the advantage
of short dlatanc? and good road as
against our long distance and *bad
road unlesa we make ours good and
without the asalstance of the coon
tr
It la argued lh*t th? ateel bridge
at WMhlngton w?e built by lh?
county and without t>ppn,H ton from
the lower townehlpa. and that th?
bridge la worth nothing without a
road on which to get to th* bridge

that a satisfactory working agree

Excepting for a slight uneasineRs

the Mexican situation, for the time
