The four corners of the earth will I
i;'d armies tor the great war, andj
Ightlng on German soil will become j
o furious that the previous battles I
will be as nothing, If a 300 year old
irophecy Is fulfilled. This prophecy
written by the monk Fratre Johannes
about the year 1600, baa been branded
genuine by the Newspaper Informa
tion bureau, at Washington. Director
Frederick J. Hastings, bead of the
bureau, says the prophecy was found I
on old parchment In the convent of
he Holy Ghost, at Wismar, Germany, l
and Is kept under glass in the town
tail in that city. I
There are a number of discrepan
cies which Mr. Hastings says are due
to the translation, of which there
have been many. The text of the re.
markable prophecy Is as follows;
Kaiaar Is a Lutheran,
the real Anarchist will be one of
he monarchs of hla time, a Lutheran
Totestant. He will Invoke God and
give hlmaelf out as hla messenger, or
apostle.
Thla prince of liars will swear by
he Blblo. He will represent himself
aa the arm of the Most High, sent to
chastise the corrupt peoples.
He will have only one arm, but his
nnumerable armies, who wllL take
or their devise the words, “God Is
with us,” will resemble the Infernal
egions.
