Mountain View, CaL Price 50 cents net. j The treat war that humanity is wapins I did not sprinc from a meager cause- ! It had its origin in the centuries past j and is but the culmination of a conflict that has run through the ace?. To understand under-stand it one must examine the history of i the world's poli tics, and even there will , be found only a partial explanation. Such j Is the contention of this little book. The j writer, who is a close student of the Brde. has reviewed the situation in the i licht of the Scriptures, and his con oh i- j s.ons are that the prophecies of Daniel 1 concerning the preat battle of Armair.-d-' don. which Is to mark the end of the , world, is now in course of fulfillment. The rause of the war i.s the time-worn : eastern question. The author outhnps the prepress of mankind from the da ys of Alexander the Great, and shows t r,e e'-ents were all foretold, and he contend that the preat kin? w horn Panic! said ".Shall piant the tabernacles of Ids palace between tie sas in the plorious holy . mountain : yet he shall come to his end, and none shad help him." is the ruling-bouse ruling-bouse of Turkey, and. with the destruction destruc-tion of the Ottoman empire, the second ' comine of Chr'st will be at hand. Ii!s interpretation may be wrons. for it i is so easv to read one's own convictions ! into the Scriptures: but the facts he jrives ! of historv and the raiis he assigns for : the war. together with his masterly col- ; le- tion f, data on the present status of ! the world, rannot be denied. It is an at- ' tempt to pive a motive to a most distress! dis-tress! ne circumstance, and, as such, will be interesting. POPULAR SCIENCE.
