If.
Thcro's a fracas nfoot for the ill

That laughs nt tlio hole in our old

And nsks us to "please take our
ships from the sou,"
Or they will go down with thn crew,

It has never paid trilwto to coun

And no villain can dure us to cross

Without showing its who our super

And Old Clory.

avaricious trusts, which place profits above patriotism.
The steel trust used its mighty influence for the steel trust

I. W. W. 'ISM IN RUSSIA.
RUSSIA is affording an excellent example of the ire
suit of I. W. W.'istn, for the Russian agitators, Maxi
malists, and radical socialists profess tho same creed of
war against society practiced by the I. W. W. the com
plete destruction of the existing order as preparatory to, a
dream millennium in which everyone 'live on the fat of
the land without toil. .
No means are too lowly to accomplish the ends sought
and strikes, sabotage, arson and dynamite are sanctioned
as means to an end. Those who have must yield to those
whp have not. Without honor, without shame, without pa
triotism, without loyalty, I. W. W. soldiers retreat when
ordered to advance, betray their flag, and under the shot
of tho advancing enemy, take referendums whether ; to
fight or flee and invariably flee.
!A's the American I. W. W. seeks to destroy industries,
wreck plants, devastate grain fields and forests, dynamite
mines and assassinate employers and officials, so has the
Russian I.. W. W. sought to destroy his native land and
deliver it into the hands of the enemy too shortsighted
to realize that they are exchanging democracy for autoc
racy, liberty for slavery. ,
The I. V. W. philosophy is in defiance of the lessons
of history. Its program is destructive of the freedom al
ready attained and creative only of chaos. Instead of a.
dream heaven they are building an actual hell of anarchy.
War Prophecy
In a publication called Omens of the
Crotit War, the following remarkablo
allegory, written by Drothor Johannos
300 years ago, appears. In decipher

etl that. Franco Is represented by a
cock, England by a leopard, Russia by
a white onglo, Germany by a black
cngle, and Austria by the other eagle,
while tho lamb stands for Justice,
mercy and truth.
"Toward the year 2000 the Anti
christ will manifest himself. Ills ar

"There will bo Christians among
the legions and there will ho Moham

tho defenders of the lamb.
"For tho first time tho lamb will bo

spot In tho Christian world that will
not he red, ami red will he tho hoa
vons, tho earth, tho waters, and even
tho air, fur blood will flow In tho do
mains of tho four elements at once.
"The black onglo will throw himself
on the cock, who will loso ninny feath
ers, but wilt Btrlko back heroically
with his spurs, lie soon would bo
crushed were It not for the help of tho
leopard nail his claws.
"Tho black agio will eomo from
tho country of Luther, will surprise
the cock from another side, and will
Invade the country of the cock up to
the middle or It.
"The white eagle, coming from the
north, will surprise tho black eagle
and tho 'other eagle,' and will Invade
the country of the Antichrist from one
end to another. ,

will pursue the black eagle Into the
country of the Antichrist to help tho

The battles fought up to then will
bo as nothing compared to those
which will take place In the country
ot Luther, for the seven angels will
togothex pour In tho tiro of their cens

fies that the lamb will order the ex
tormlnatlon ot the race of Antichrist.
"When the beast sees that ho is lost
he will become furious, nnd for many
months the beak of the white eagle,
the claws of tho leopard and the spurs
of tho cock will furiously strike at
him.
"They will cross Tlvers over the
bodies of tho slain, and these. In

wators. They will bury only the men
of noble families, the leading com
mandants and the princes, because to

"Tho exocutors of the Justice of tho
lamb cannot atop fighting as long as
tho Antichrist possesses soldiers to
fight against them.

aian women's' bnttulioh raised bV the
twice wounded girl officer, Vera
Butehkareff, was in action on the
front at Krevo yesterday for the
first time. They "are reixnted to
have been successful, although the

The' "command of death" Is the
official title -of 'the battalion raised
by Madnmoisclle Butehkareff. It
recently left for the front after a
review by M..Kerensky. Most of the
recruits are from the higher educa
tional academies " or ' secondary
schools, with a tew peasants, factory
girls and' servants. Some married
women were accepted, 'but none who
had children. " Most of them nre be
tween 18 and 25 yenrs old, of good
physique.' ' They wear their' hair
short und have their heads entirely
shaved. Tho girls carry the cavalry
carbine, which is five pounds lighter
than the regular army rifle. (They
were drilled under the instruction of
male sergeants tf the Kolynsky reg

1IZED, SEATTLE
SEATTLE, Jnly 25 The Various
Nntional Guard units in the state of
Washington were mobilized this
morning.' The troops assembled in
Seattle are headquarters, sanitary
corps nnd four companies of const
artillery, under command of Colonel
C. B. Blethen; 4hree compunies and
headquarters of signal coi'ps and
Washington field hospital unit and
snuitury troops connected therewith.
Coast artillery and cavalry units
throughout the state were called out.
' With tho mobilization this morn
ing, the state of Washington is
without, a national guard organiza
tion. The Washington stato guard,
in process of formation, ultimately
will replace -the national guard for
slate defense. : " : ''.,.'..
The units of the national guard,
now. in federal service, will be held
at their homo stations for ten, days,
possibly two weeks. '

"The fight which will take place
whero the Antichrist forges his arms
will not ho in any way a human fight.
(ThlB may have reference to Essen,
inhere the Krupp works are, and many
authorities believe that the decisive
battle may take place tn Westphalia.)
"The three animals defending the
amb will exterminate the last army of
the Antichrist, but will be forced to
erect on the battlefield a pyre as large
as a city, for tho bodies of the dead
will change the aspect of the country
side, as there will be mounds of the
slain.
"The Antichrist will lose his crown
and will die In solitude and madness.
His empire will he divided into twenty-two
states, but none of them will
any longer possess fortresses, armies
or vessels. '
(Curiously enough, this number co
incides with the number ot German
states.)
"The white eagle, by order of St.
Michael, will drive the crescent from
Europe, and will install himself at
Constantinople. Then will begin an
era of penoe aud prosperity for the
earth and there will be no more wars,
each nation being govorned nccordlng
to Its desires and living according to
the rules of Justice.
"There will no longer be Lutherans
or Schismatics. The lamb will reign
nnd tho supreme happiness of human
ity will begin. Happy will be those
who, escaping the perils of that peri
od, will be ablo to enjoy the fruit of
the reign of the spirit, and ' of the
purging of humanity, which can only
come after the defeat ot the Antl
