men and money and food but if they have plenty of potash they can continue to fight indefinitely. Ihave, by scientific research, estab- lished the fact that the world’s supply of potash will be exhausted at 5:37 A.M., January 17, 1921. Therefore, the conflict will automatically cease at that moment.” Prof. J. Frothingham Bilk, the noted traveler, an- nounces that the war will end on Christmas Day, 1918. The end will come about noon. Prof. Bilk is an authority because he spent the greater part of two weeks in the German town of Munich, Bavaria, in 1879. He talked with ten of the most prominent and best posted men of Munich at the time and was able to arrive at the conclusion mentioned. True they did not agree exactly upon the moment peace would be declared but he took their various estimates and struck an average. Mme. Cheeza Baer, the eminent past, present and futurer who has predicted many important events, has been interviewed upon the subject and states definitely that the war will be over on February 21, 1931, and there are many who believe she is right. The madame has an enviable record. She predicted the San Fran- cisco earthquake as soon as she received the papers next morning after it happened. She predicted the Russi revolution within two days after it occurred. most recent prediction was to the effect that the Kaiser will die. It is believed to be almost a certainty that she is correct in this prediction. Last year she predicted that many steamships would be sunk by sub- marines and her prediction came true. Early this year she predicted heavy fighting on the western front during June, July and August, also during March, September and April and she was correct. Her powers in this direction are almost uncanny. Dracon by Antuve T. Merrick Mae. Cueeza Baer, tHe Eminent Past, PRESENT AND Futurer It was Mme. Baer who, when she heard that Gen. Pershing had gone to France, predicted that he would soon be followed by an American contingent of soldiers and again she was correct. She has been right so often that her prediction that the war will be over by February 21, 1931, must be taken seriously. Others, who speak with more or less authority, have ended the war variously on July 4, 1923; Thanksgiving Day, 1918; ster Sunday, 1946, and March 2, 1951. If every person takes his choice of these predictions and sticks to it, there is no reason why everybody should not be satisfied. One of the predictions which is attracting consid- erable attention on account of its apparent plausibility was made recently by an eminent Dutch diplomat who stated in an interview that: “The war will end when the peace protocol is signed.” Those who desire that it shall end sooner will doubtless be disappointed.
