PROPHETS WHO “MADE GOOD”

Not All Who Foretold Events of the Great War Lost Their Reputa- ... tion by the Act. The late war and its end were subjects of much prophecy, and incidentally wrecked rhe reputation of many prophets.

It was. June 26 Junius B. Wood. Detroit News correspondent with the American forces, cabled that German prisoners were being encouraged by the statement of officers that the war would end July 18, and that this date had made such an impression on many units that, in case war did not then e.nd, they would refuse to fight any longer. July 18 Generalissimo Foch launched his historical counter-offensive that won the war for the allies.
