made AT POUT akthpi: [
Loudon, Sept. 22—General Nogi's
prediction, made at the siege of .
I'ort Arthur, is still fresh in the!
minds of Englishmen in connection
with the terrible fighting near the
old Waterloo field. General -N'ogi j
said;
"I believe that the world will wit
ness a great war which will have j
all Europe for its battleground. ■
and will settle tho Franeo-Pnis- j
- an question and the Anglo-German |
rivalry. Franc® and Germany will j
meet in this last decisive conflict on !
the Belgian plains probably near j
Waterloo, the only spot which will
permit of the evolution of tfie
sreat armies which will face each
other. At the present time the
Trench and German frontiers are to
strongly fortified for either people to
force its way through. I have lit- [
tie doubt as to tho result of this |
war. France will beat Germany I
on land and England will crush
Germany at sea.
"This will be the last great war !
in Europe for many years, perhaps i
forever. The German states will i
emerge from this war so exhausted j
and so terrified that they will have
no other object than to form some
sort of condition that they may In
future obviate the recurrence of any
such catastrophe."

traiu lust night from Whltehorse on
their way outside for the winter

out to pasture in the meadows
along the river in the vicinity of

The work of this particular party
has been in the direction of sh
earing reliable information and data

tion of the department at Ottawa
