NOVEL MAHY YEARS AGO
PREDICTED A WORLD WAR
Old World May Ba So Depopu
lated and Impoverished That
It Will Never flocover.
Basel, Switzerland. — Nearly thirty
years ago, in XS.SS, a novel was pub
lished in Leipzig uixier the title "Sur
ya." In this bixik the following prophe
cies apiiear:
"lu 11)04 the :'tr;>{ eltish between west
ern auii eastern conutrles will take
place.
"In 1012 tl»» Ualkacs will be drenched
with Woo-l and the corpses of hundreds
of thousands of slain men will cover
the battlefields. From this bloody strug
gle the most fearful war of all history
will develop. The entire civilized world
and oven savu_,c tribes will be drawn
into the horrible conflagration, which
will turn all Europe into a howling
wilderness I:t lliree J ears. The war will
continue until all of the belligerents
are exhausted an-1 the armies in the
fleld rebel against the awful slaughter.
It will end with a general uprising of
the masses. The revolution will start
in oue of the largest countries engaged
in the war and bring horrors which
may make those of the French revolu
tion appear like child's play. Within a
few months the revolution will spread
over all Europe, and when it ends the
old world will be depopulated and so
impoverished that it may never be able
to recover.1'
The tirst two of these prophecies
have come true, and the third oue is
partly fulfilled. In 190-1 the war be
tween Russian ar.d Japan started, and
1012 brought the first Balkan war,
which was followed at once by the sec
ond. From these struggles the present
horrible world war developed. Almost
the entire world is lighting. Revolution
has overturned the government of Rus
sia. Will the general revolution, the
horrid climax predicted by the writer,
also come? J

Continued from Page 1
of Fort William H. Seward, the
principal speaker at the rally, de
clared that the present war is "to
determlno whether democracy shall
be ex'eadod or destroyed."
To KJlect Officers
Following thte signing of the
•rtoll tor the homQ guard, it was
announced that organization voulc
be effected at once. A meeting
war. today scheduled for tomorrow
jiigM at which officers will b<
elected. An officer will be sent
here from Fort William H. Sew
ard tie drill the gua,rds. He is ex
oected to attend the first meeting
Held under the auspices of th<
Elke, and with the Eagles anc
members of the Arctic Brother hoot
co-opeirating, the jvitriotic rail)
drew practically the entire citizen
ahip of Skagway. The schiool chil
dren, who had marchbd in a bodj
from *he school, occupied a bij
block of seats where they wave*
^he fliigs prtoVided them by th.<
Elks and heartily did thleir bit bj
singiDg America, the Star Spangle*
Banner and other national airs.
The Skagway band also did it:
bi' and when the notes of th<
coun'ry'a hymns and patriotic air:
filled the fiag^decorated hall, on<
could feel that »he spirit of '7G was
still alive.
To ltotoct Community
Mayor Howard Ashley, who head
ed the committee whicbi arrange*
for the -rally, was chairman of th<
meeting. After the meeting ha<
been opened with prayer by th<
Rev. L. H. Pedersen, Mayor Ashle;
briefly explained the purpose of thi
rally and of the proposed homi
guard.
"Tb0 homo guard," he said, "i:
intended for protection of the com
munity in case of any emergenc;
in war time. No one questions thi
patriotism or loyalty of Alaskam
or the citizens of Skagway. if thi
need for action arises, they will d<
their duty. But We better d<
the service! that may be required o;
us if we are organized."
War For Democracy
Major Saville was then intro
duced. He reviewed, briefly bu
succinctly. the history of worli
conquerors and of world govern
ments and then declared that th<
present war, no matter for wha
purpose started, commercial oj
otherwise, is now a strugrgle to de
termlno whether democracy shall bi
extended or shall be destroyed.
Different ' duties that confron'
Americans in this war crisis wen
pointed out. Thcse who stay a
home, said Major Saville, have du
ties to perform just as great as
those who go to the front. He
urged every citizen, who has avail
able ground, to plant potatoes and
other vegetables to help insure the
nation's food supply.

Military Government
Andrew Stevenson, president of
the Bank of Alaska, spoke of the
war as being not against the Ger
man people but against their mili
tary form of government.
"It is a time for serious think

perform and it is certain that every
man of Skagway, whether at the
front or at- home, will do that duty
and uphold the honor of his city
and country."
Patriotic Spirit
Dr. L. S. Keller, publisher of
the Daily Alaskan, was the last
speaker,
"The patriotic spirit displayed
here tonight," he said, should
make us all proud that we are Am
ericans and citizens of Skagway."

a home guard company at Haines,
which be attended, Dr. Keller told

also how the women of Haines had
formed % Red Cross branch. He[
