FORECASTS WAR

OF THE FUTURE

ARMAGEDDON WILL BE SUDDEN AFFAIR.

WOMEN AND CHILDREN WILL BE THE TARGETS FOR GAS AND BOMB.

Berlin, Nov. 12.

GE

ENERAL Ludendorff, one of Germany's famous war leaders, has just published a work on the war of the future. It is a brochure of 120 pages, entitled "The Total War."

"The total war," he writes, "which is not only a matter for the armed forces but also directly touches the life and soul of every single member of the nations at war, was born from the introduction of general conscription, from the growing numbers of the peoples, and from

In the war of the future, the battlefield, he says, will be the entire country of the nation at war, so that the inhabitants will be in the same position as people shut up in a fortress' which is being attacked by an enemy.

But the total war, he teaches, must be begun without warn- ing. "It is an error to think that a war must be begun by declaration of war," he writes, and he adds that it was a misfortune that Germany made a formal declaration of war before marching against Russia and France in 1914.

News Of Lost Flyer After Eight Years

“MÁN WHO DROPPED FROM SKY"

Washington, Nov. 15. Eight years ago an Ameri- can flyer, Paul Redfern, set out for Rio de Janeiro to beat the long-distance record. Nothing has been heard from him since. Indian tales of a mysterious _white_man__who came from the sky and lived in the Interior of Dutch Guiana have been heard from time to time, but were dis- missed a native folklore. Now, however, enough evidence has been received to convince the Depart ment of State that the mysterious white visitor of these · Indian stories is the lost avintor.

A mission teacher named Mel- chers forwarded a report through American Consular officials dog- cribing facts which appeared worth examinatlon. The report states:

If The Sun Exploded Or Went Cold

WAYS THE WORLD

MIGHT END

Ways in which the earth and life upon it may meet their end are discussed by Dr. H. S. Spencer Jonès, the Astronomer Royal, in his new book, "Worlds Without End," pub-. lished this month. Dr. Spencer Jones discusses two opposite possibilities-that the sun may "explode," burning all life and vegetation from the carth and possibly completely engul- Ang it; and that, after a long period of nearly steady activity, the sun's heat may quickly fail.

Even on the second supposition, that the anticipated explosion does not take place, Dr. Spencer, Jones' argues that the earth must have already lived "more than an insignificant fraction of its life." The explosion, if it materialises, Dr. Spencer Jones explains, would be of the type witnessed from time to time by astronomers in the sudden flaring up of what are called "now stara,"

The brightness of such stars may increase several millionfold within a few days, and astrono- mers believe that there is at the same time an enormous expansion- in the size of the star. In the case of the sun, he points out, this expansion might well extend far enough for the earth to be completely engulfed:

Every star, he concludes, must- on the average, pass through this phase at least once in its history: and further points out that some astronomers belleve that the sun is now showing signs that this phase may be approaching. Ia any case, he believes that the sun has not yet exploded.

Should this happen, there will be little final warning, only a fow days, or even houre, of anxious waiting, and then the end.

End Of All Life

"All life," he states, "would become extinct; the oceans would be turned into vapour; treca, forests, elties and everything combustible would be burnt; the sun would rapidly swell and might even consuma and swallow up the earth,"
