April 21.—-It is gigurt-d that the war with the Kai »er will end in six months. People around Savannah have began to be- * lieve that they have the "Kaiser's number,” and that this same num ber is 666. They also say that it is predicted in the Bible that the war will last only six months longer. As an authority they turn to the thirteenth chapter of Revelations, the last book in the New Testament. For the information of those who do not know, and find the eighteen th verse. It reads like this: "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath un derstanding count Ithe number of the beast: for It is the number of a man, and his number is six hundred, three score and six.” The Kaiser is selected by thes** people as being the numbered man. Under a selective conscription law, a number of men of military age could be had here in Columbia whose enlirtm^nt would relieve their families of the burden of their sun port, Much as their going to the 1 front would harry the feelings of . — .'their dear ones, it would stop the Kaided by onerin Hrain on their dear ones’ pocket- books .
