PROPHETS OP YESTERDAY. Things of the Present Were Not Hidden to Great Souls. Literary antiquarians are finding all kinds of prophecies covering events of today, and some of them are enough to awaken the spirit of marvel in view of the remote contingency as to the day of fulfillment. For example, what could have put it into the head of George Sand seventy-two years ago that American forces would ever occupy French so|l? Mr. J. S. N. Davis sends to the - New York Times this literary find: "George Sand, in her novel, '.Mauprat,' written in 1846, put into the mouth of Bernard Mauprat, in about the middle of the fifteenth chapter, the following words: "'In his (Macasse's) dreams he used to see an army of victorious Americans disembarking from numberless ships, and bringing the olivebranch of peace and the horn of plenty to the French nation,' etc. "Mauprat in his old age is telling j the story of his life and was here giving an account of himself and friends, their doings and thinkings, ;t -.while in America, with Lafayette fighting for American freedom. "It would be hard to find a more ' literal fulfillment of any written expression." Tennyson's "Locksley Hall" places its author as a safer guesser in view of the declared determination of science to conquer the physical universe; but the Catholic Citizen (Milwaukee) thinks his vision of seventy years ago an "almost uncanny forecast" not only, of "the present world . upheaval, but even the instruments of warfare developed in, its course, and the result lo follow Armageddon." It quotes this passage: v. For I dipped into the future, as far as human could see, t . Saw the vision of the world, and all > :' the wonder that would be; i . Saw the heavens filled with commerce, argosies of magic sails, ^ : Pilots of the purple twilight, dropping down with costly bales; Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and there rain'd a ghastly . . ? dew , From the nation's airy navies grappling in the central blue; Far along the world-wide whisper of the south wind rushing warm, m With the standards of the people plunging through the .thunder v storm; ?& '- Till the war-drum throbb'd no longer, and the battle-flags were - j furl'd? , In the parliament of man, the Fed^ : eration of the World. > The cue being given, another delver, a writer to the New York Sun, finds that in 1849 Victor Hugo, adTCt ^dressing the Peace Congress in Paris, foreshadowed the "United States of Europe." Mr. Isaac Markens ^Amrmatits hp.fnrft auotine the French |jp? Poet that "German's subsequent role in the history of nations, more especially in the theft of Alsace-Lormine in 1871 and her Draconian policy of the past four years, leaves ^ no doubt of Hugo's attitude with respect to Germany's representation in i\':. y the proposed confederation, were he living today." Hugo then said: "A day will come when you, France, you, Russia, you, Italy, you, England, you, Germany, all you na^ tions of the continent, shall, without * y V losing your distinctive qualities and k'/ your glorious individualities,, blend | in higher unity; and form a European fraternity, even as Normandy, v Brittany, Bergundy, Lorraine, Alsace, all the French Provinces, blended into France. , "A day w^ill come when war will seem as impossible between Paris %and London, between Petersburg and Berlin, as between Rouen and Ami' ens, between Boston and Philadel&KP Phia. "A day will come when bullets * and bombs shall be replaced by ballots, by the universal suffrage of the people, by the sacred arbitrament of p, great sovereign senate, which shall be to Europe what the parliament is to England, what the diet is to Germany, what the legislative assembly is to France. "A day will come when a cannon shall be exhibited in our museums as an instrument of torture is now, and men shall marvel that such things could be. "A day will come when we shall - see those imense groups, the United States of America and the United States of Europe, in face of each * other, extending hand to hand bver the ocean, exchanging their products, their commerce, their industry, their art; their genius clearing the colonizing deserts, and ameliorating creation under the eye of the Creator. "And to you I appeal, French, English, Germans, Russians, Slavs, Europeans, Americans, what have we to do to hasten the coming of " . o r ^ that great aay: l.ovc uue auumw. To love one another, in this immense work of pacification, is the best way of aiding God. For God wills that this sublime will be accomplished." m i?> ? Strategically Weak.

Chicago, 111., Feb. 20.?A maximum sentence of twenty years in Leavenworth prison was imposed by Federal District Judge Landis today on Congressman-elect Victor L. Berger, of .Milwaukee, and four other Socialist leaders, who in final pleas likened themselves to history's greatest martyrs. The five men, convicted of conspiracy to obstruct the draft in violation of the espionage act, succeeded in obtaining release on $25,000 bail from Federal Judge Alschuler in circuit court, and declared they would carry their legal fight to the United States Supreme Court.
