"there appears to he but little indication of peace during 1915. The eclipse jof the sun in February (1916) will see Germany defeated and her legions driven hack to the confines of hei own country., The British arms will be triumphant and win victory alter victory. Holland will suffer terrible privations and will be driven into the war. Throughout the spring the niost appalling slaughter will occur, and step by step the Allies will I'one their way ahead. A decisive naval • victory is denoted in May. The culminating point in the war does not occur during 1916, and it will not he until the following year,that the hordes of Germany will be overthrown finally, 'Power was given xinto the Beast to continue for cwo-and-forty-months.'
