Chicago, Aug. 5. This little old world, with its cabarets, its lobster sal ad its georgette crepe waists and silk stockings, its vice districts, and its cor rupt politicians, is merely having its last fling. It is to emerge along about December 31, 1999, into a perfectly nice sinless world in which the mean-tempered, the selfish and the greedy indi vidual wil3 have gone to their reward. And wh'at a century this is to be! War, calamity, destruction, desolation, with America leading the world in ob ituary notices. At the end there will be 440,000 angel marked individuals in habiting the earth. There will be oth ers, but without a spiritual under standing, and they won't count greatly. It is unlikely that these United States will have any representatives among the 440,000. elect. Thus runs the prophecy of the Count ess Aurela Bethlen, a native of Hun gary.

Charles Evans Hughes, Republican candidate left New York with his wife this afternoon on a 10,000 mile stumping tour that will take them from coast to coast.

"The greatest destruction is to come to America," says Countess Bethlen. "That is because America is the greed iest nation on earth. It worships gold; not God. Every nation of the earth is to attack America. It may be the Germans who start. The Asiatics will come in. England will want a slice of country. She will follow. Everv couutry will want a slice. America will try to protect herself against all thc dogs that come. "The more calamity that comes the more glory. I pray for it.
