During the past two weeks several
copies of O. Henry's books have been
taken out of the lokal headquarters
library by th® scouts and other boys.
"Cabbages and Kings" seems to be
the most popular volume although
"Sixes and Sevens" is being widely

Other books that ar® being called
for are "The Shepherd of the Hills."
"The Call of the Wid, "The Boy

are also being read.

With 236 of the men who tried to start a little
revolution in Oklahoma now in jail, any further re-
sistance to th® draft may not be expected there. The
United States district attorney for the eastern district
of Oklahoma is insisting that the men be tried for
treason and that in case of conviction the death penalty
be inflicted. This, perhaps, would result in preventing
such uprising® lh other states and take some of the
aggressiveness out of the I W. W.’s.
Mrs. Wallace Kelly and little
daughters. Lucile and Dorothy, have

The American gunner is unexcelled in his marksman-
ship by the men of any other nation. He is un-
equalled, for he holds the record for accuracy in firing
at sea. New honors have fallen to him by reason of
his work against the submarines of the Germans, it
being now stated that the American gunners are keep-
ing open a path for hundreds of merchantmen sailing
between this country and Europe. Also that th® U-boat
menace is being rapidly lessened.
Just what has been the work accomplished by Amer-
ican gunners, that is in detail, is not given out from
Washington but dispatches tell that Secretary Daniels
is now consulting with experts as to how much of th®
etory can be made public and it is added that "when
it comes out it should be one to stir the souls of every
American who knows th® nary and believes in his
country.*
Th® American people always have believed in the
American navy. It has never failed them and has
always been a great factor in winning its wars. The
submarines were feared because they were going right
along destroying ships and with none to say them nay,
but when the American boats got to the other side
of the Atlantic and began hunting for them, their dradlv
work became less and less each week.
If a tey boats, a small flotilla of the United States
navy, can go to foreign waters and do so much in a
short time, what might not be accomplished If the
entire navy was sent across th® Atlantic, and, combining
with the navies of all the allies, drive the German
navy out of its hiding place and fore® it to fight?
A decisive naval victory against Germany would end
th® war sooner and with less loss of Ilf® than if th®
land battle is to continue in France and on th® eastern
front
It will be very strange if this war ends without a
naval engagement and if that does come, the American
people have nothing to fear. They have the ships
and they have the guns. What is more, they have th®
gunner®, who ar® th® best marksmen in the world.

Toward the 2096, Antichrist will
be made manifest. His army will
surpass in numbers anything that
can be imagined. There will ' be
Christians among his cohorts and
there will be Mohammedans among
the defenders of the lamb, as well
as some heathen soldiers.
For th® first time the lamb will
be red, for blood will flow in the
domains of th® four elements at
once. The black eagle will hurl it-
self upon the cock, which will lose
many feathers. It will soon be ex-
hausted, but for the leopard and its
claws. The black eagle, who will
come from the land of Luther, wili
make a surprise attack upon the
cock. The white eagle will come
from the north.
The black eagle will find itself
forced to let go of the cock in order
to fight the white eagle, whereupon
the cock will have to pursue the
black eagle into the land of the
Antichrist to aid th® white eagle.
The battle® fought up to that time
will be as nothing compared to
that which will take place in the
Lutheran country. When the beast
rinds himself lost he will become
Curious- Men will be able to cross
rivers over the bodies of the dead.
Antichrist will sue for peace many
times, but th® seven angels, who
inarch before the three animals of
the lamb, will proclaim that vic-
tory will not be given except on the
condition that Antichrist shall be
crushed like straw on the thrashing
floor. The three animals will not be
permitted to ceas® fighting as long
as Antichrist has soldiers.
It will be mad® manifest that th®
combat, which will be fought out in
that part of the country in which
Antichrist forges hl® arm®, is no
human conflict. The animal de-
fender® of th® lamb will exterminate
the last army of the Antichrist.
Antichrist will lose his crown and
die in solitude and madness. His
empire will be divided into twenty-

been shown in some of the western states where the

A war will afford him the oppor-
tunity of throwing off the mask.
It will not be in the first instance
a war which he will wage against a
French monarch. But It will be one
of such a nature that, after two
weeks, all will realize its universal
character.
Not only will Christians, but all
Musselmen, and even more distant
people®, will be Involved. Armies will
be involved from the four quarters
of the earth.
For by the third week the angels
will have opened the minds of men.
who will perceive that the mam is
Antichrist, and that all will become
his slaves if they do not overthrow
this conqueror.
Antichrist will be recognized by
various tokens—in special he will
massacre the priests, the monks, the
women, the children and the aged.
He will show no mercy, but will
pass, torch in hand, like the bar-
barians, but invoking Christ. His
words of imposture will resemble
those of Christians, but his vows
of all the human race.
There is much peace talk heard in th® senate, but
th® fact that it is led by Senator LaFollette, will not
give to it the weight that it might have coming from
other source®. Senator LaFollette is a radical ‛n all
things, has gone off after so many visions that his
purpose might be questioned in this case. He has been
ona of the obstructionists in congress to cause the
preside:t much trouble in the delay of needed legisla-
tion. He is aided by Representative Baer, the newly
elected representativo from North Dakota, who says he
is neither a republican or a democrat and possibly is
a socialist
Those of the leuling senators who nave given ex-
pression of their views are a unit in saying this is no
timie for peace. The dispatches tell that "while some
rf th;., peace tala is radical, it can be stated that it is
wholly disagreeable at the white house.”
The people will not believe that President Wilson will
give ear to any peace talk until all that the United
States entered this war for has been secured and with
the full assurance of the victory for world-wide democ-
racy.
Senator LaFollette introduced a resolution calling for
a restatement of the allies* peace terms. He demanded
That this country declare for no indemnities, no ter-
ritorial acquisitions, no commercial privileges. To do
this would only be questioning the statements of the
president made at different times.
Senator King .arraigned the kaiser on an Indictment
of sixteen counts and offered a resolution in opposition
to that of Senator LaFollette, declaring that “the gov-
ernment of the United States will not make peace
until Its purposes and principles as declared by the
president in his address to corfgress on the 2d of April
shall have been acknowledged and accomplished and the
German government shall have acknowledged and ex-
piated its crimes and shall seek the terms upon which
it may be admitted to the community of civilized and
enlightened states."
Or in other words, he wants it stated that this nation
will not consider peace terms until Germany is whipped
into such submission as to give guaranty to the world
that it will never again undertake such a war as it is
fighting now, a war for the purpose of gratifying the
ambition of the kaiser to rule the world. Further con-
sideration of the question in congress will show an
overwhelming majority in favor of Senator King's reso-
lution and th® defeat of that offered by Senator
LaFollette.
