Many prophecies concerning the
world war have been made and given
iiu’uiicity in the pre““ in recent
months; some of the prophecies seem
to have materialized to a certain ex
tent, and some have missed the in-^
tended mark entirely, so it is a mat-!
ter of some conjecture whether there^
is any means of knowing what is in
store for this troubled old world.
There is in Fairbanks, however, in i
he person of Mrs. Fred Myers (Ma- <
lame Renio) one whose impressions
.vould be as dependable as those of
>ther prognosticators who have a
,vider repute, and at her request is
Siven the following forecast:
“They (referring to her voices)
:ell me that there are to be four
Jthers of the principal nations in
volved in the war before its close, ^
md America is to have the hardest
struggle, as the conflict will be con
centrated on the individual nations^
In turn. I am told that the war|
will not end until 1919. They say<
there has been fighting thus far,
but it is nothing compared to what
will be before the close. They say
Germany is stronger than one has
iny idea, but she will lose in the t
md” 8
Mrs. Myers predicted during the
irst week of the war that America e
vould be involved, and it may be £
nstifiable to prepare for just such f
i contingency as she mentioned.

The organization of a regiment of^
engineers from Alaska, b}- Majorj
Mears, will give all Alaskans an ex
cellent opportunity to see quick ser
vice in Europe.
The regiment will no doubt be mo
bilized at American Lake, where some
forty thousand men are now drilling.
The great demand for engineers in
France, will without doubt, be res
ponsible for this regiment's hasty
formation and entrainment for some
port on the Atlantic, prior to sailing
for France.
All those wishing to join this regi
ment should give their names and
addresses to Major ('. E. Dole, pur
chasing agent for the Alaskan Engin
eering commission in Seattle, of H.
P. Warren at the Bell Street pier in
Seattle.
Major Mears does not wish those
desiring to join this regiment to feel
that they are in duty bound to do so.
because they were formerly with the
commission in Alaska. He desires
hat they should follow their own per
onal inclinations.
Now that a regiment is to be form
d from Alaska the Question at once
rises what are we to do for those
rom Alaskan at the front?
