A WAR DREAM.

Sir, —On tho niglit of Tuesday, March 7, 1916, Earl Kitchener, our Empire's great war lord, camo to mo in a dream and told me the following: : — And behold I saw in my dream a great and mighty army which no man could number, aud all the soldiers aud Ihe captains, and the generals, and tlie chief mighty men of war armod cap-a-pie in flaming swords, 1 and roaring guns vomiting continually flames of fire through the eastern shies—burning all 1 before it in one vast curtain of flavne. And behold a mighty man of war, ■mightier than all tho others, with tho head of a lion, the face as of. a god, and eyes of (laming fire,' strode up and down the foremost lines, piercing with eagle glances each countenance as ho went. And as 1, Captain Seven, stood at tho head of this mighty column ho cried in a loud voice far above the din of battle:

"Captain Seven. Advance ten paces." ,\nct as I did so this mighty man of war, for it was the preat Earl Ivifccller.er, said: *'S©vul this tiling.out and sow it broadcast amongst the Allies of tho earth, so that our brave Slav millions may Jcnow; also tell it loudly to our wondrous little friends of the Mi* kado, to our braves of India, out younger heroes of Canada,. Australia, and New Zealand, whom I love; and let tho tidings Maze in letters-of gold and firo all through the patriotic plains and cities of Fiance; cclio it far ovet the mountains and lakes of Italy, also comfort with the glad tidings the martyred homes of Belgium and Serbia, mid let ring with clarion voices throughout tho univorse tliat the beautiful world will once, more sleep a sweet sleep of universal peace. And this is the command I havo.for you:-

"In three moons tho Ehine will run red with German blood, and German corpses will dam back its lurid waters, so that tho armed liberators of the

world may inarch over tlio dead bodice oi 1 tho Germans," "In seven moons Berlin will blaze." "And the Huns shall be scattered far and'wido, and shall cease to bo a nation any more, and shall be counted as vermin amongst tho nations of tho earth. And tho remnant of the mili. tary power of the north shall have fled to tho land of tho ruthless Mongolian, from whence it came, to wallow once more in its own vile gore. And that other remnant lying southwards of Prussia, known as the Saxons,, "'ill be slaves and bondmen of resuscitated Belgium until such time as peace and prosperity smiles again throughout the n;u tions of the oarth and full payment has been made to each by tho spoilers. And from Russia, to whom enlightenment has come, all oppression and the Siberian mines has for ever departed; and tlio abomination of desolation in Turkey and Bulgaria has aivon place to glorious liberty, cleanliness and plenty; and the seas once more swept of treachery and pirate murder shall afford safe waterway to all; and tho solemn, sacred land of Palestine shall have becomo again tho refuge and strength of God's chosen people; and the whole earth shall have become once more a happy and co'ntentcd paradise where France and the British sliall sit down as twin' brothers, and from tho happier lands of tha Mikado and Petharch and Laura, Belgium and Russia shall come all tho beautiful things of the earth and corn and wines in plenty." Such, sir, is a faithful account of tho strange dream I had On tho night of Tuesday, March 7, 1916. Of course, if the prophetic part 'concerning the termination of the war happened to become fulfilled, then the interpretation thereof is: The three moons would mean three months, or June, and the seven moons September next. But readers of The Dominion who mar clianco upon this would romemW tlwt the foregoina is only a dream, and that of such stuff dreams are made. —I am, etc.. - CAPTAIN SEVEN. April 7, 1916.
