SPIRITS LEAD nTO DISCOVERY OF OLD RUINS k v * ■ong-Buried Structures Bug 9 Up as Result of Writing 31 at Seance. War foreseen in 1909 BRISTOL, England, Jan. tfl.— Students of psychic phenomena and archaeologists the -world over are familiar with the story of how remains of the lost Edgar chapel at Glastonbury abbey were found through the agency of automatic writing by Mr. Bligh Bond. F. R. I. B. A., the well-known ecclesiastical architect, and “John Alleyne,” an army officer and song writer, who may be described as the medium. Mr. Bligh Bond, in an interview with an International News Service representative, told of the finding of the Edchapel through the automatic writing, and later the more remarkable finding of the loretto cliapel. which has only lately been revealed. “I have long held a belief in the theory of a cosmic memory wbiph we inhibited from using by our conscious mind.'' said Bligh Bond. "I believe, however, that by studying the problem and then allowing it to lie developing in the mind some day a solution will come, as it were spontaneously. t( “The problem of the lost Edgar chapel had exercised my mind for many years, and 1 had read up all the available information concerning it. it happened that my friend. John Alleyne, had developed the gift of automatic writing, gad was also very keen about Glastonbury abbey, and had studied the subject thoroughly. “At the end of 1007 we determined to try automatic writing to see if we *ould get any information that way about the lost Edgar chapel, which fad been much sought after. The late P\r William St. John Hope had made >n excavation at the east end of the in 1004 without finding any trace ■felt!”

Bond’s method was to place his Kd lightly on the hand of “John Alwhich held a pencil, ana then, to PFrevent his conscious mind influencing it. keep him in animated conversation, after asking of the unseen: “Can you fell us anything about Glastonbury abbey?’ 5 - Immediately the pencil wrote: “All knowledge is eternal, and is available'to mental sympathy.” Then followed a very rough sketch outlining the abbey, but with an extension at the east end a very long chapel, and with an inscription inside the main building, “Qullicimus Monachus” (William the Monk). This is the name of the controlling spirit who discloses the revelations. There was a further sketch at the bottom of the sheet showing a range of four small chapels. With a very long one midway between them and the Inscription, “Capelin St. Edgar, Abbes Bere Fecit” (The Chapel of St. Edgar. Abbot Bore Built It.l Notwithstanding Sir W.

Apennines on a mule, he was attacked by robbers and beaten, and was almost falling down a precipice when he called on bur lady to save him, and, his cloak catching in a thorn bush, his fall was arrested. He vowed, therefore, to build a chapel to Our Lady of Lorett.o immediately on his return to England, and indeed did so, the architect being one Francesco di Padua. Tn August the excavations were proceeded with and the chapel found as foretold. So far only the foundations are revealed, “but I hope,” says Bligh Blond, “that a national fund will be set up to extend the excavations around Glastonbury abbey, and I anticipate we shall find traces of Italian decoration unknowtn in England at that period, which will bear out my automatic communications.” The story of other revelations in connection with the coming of the great war, beginning as early as 1909. is told in a book just published by Bligh Bond, “The Hill of Vision,” some of the warnings and predictions being from none other than “Caesar Augustus, Pacificator et Imperator.” It is a remarkable document, attested at the time of the writings, so that none may say they were .prophecies after the event of the war, and giving predictions about the events to follow the present time. It says: “The west shall fall and the east come into its heritage,” but happily Great Britain is to endure, “through a sea of blood and suffering shall she attain to her perfection: while “a higher knighthood than her own shall 'spare i her in the day of the humiliation of : the nations.” '

CANADAPRUNES WAR EXPENSES Closes All Departments Not Absolutely Essential No v. OTTAWA, Ontario, Jan. 16.—With the view of economizing as much as possible, the Canadian government is closing down as many public bodies which were called into existence owing to war-time conditions as is consistent with the efficient running of the country’s business. One department which did excellent work, that dealing with press censorship, ceased operations on Jan. 1. This department has been run with such tact and discretion as to win the approval of the entire press of Canada. Its head, Lt. Col. Chambers, being mainly responsible for that state of affairs. The department of public information waif also closed on the last day of 1919, though certain activities in connection with publicity work in the United Kingdom and the United States will be continued for a time. The department was called into existence in November, 1917, two well-known Canadians, M. E. Nieholls and Dr. G. H. Locke, acting as director and associate director, respectively. At the close of the war, the department concerned itself with the work of repatriation and reconstruction. It has distributed hundreds of thousands of books and pamphlets, another feature of its work

being a lecture bureau, through which voluntary lecturers addressed about 000,000 throughout Canada in the course of a year. The department was also responsible for two regular publications, namely the Canadian Daily Record, which WBS eircubited among the soldiers in France and England, and the Canadian Official Record, which was published in Ottawa and circulated throughout Canrda. At midnight o<n Dec. 31 hundreds of orders-in-council which were passed and enforced under the authority of the war measures act became inoperative. lUc only orders-in-council which remain in force are those dealing with the government control of pulp and paper, sugar, coal and wood;-orders governing silver coinage and gold export; trading with the enemy and internment of aliens and the order relating to the war trading commission. The business profits war tax also expired at the end of ihe year. During the years of the war and estimating the retufns for the present year, this tax lias produced a revenue of very nearly $100,000,000. it having been the chief producer of all the special war taxes, in conjecturing whether the tax will be again imposed, it is argued in certain quarters that its reimposition will hinder the expansion of industries. Tt is pointed out that in the course of MS last budget speech, Sir Thomas White said that within bounds the taxing of profits was not, open to criticism, but that if it was carried beyond a reasonable point, “it can only defeat its purpose with consequences detrimental to capital, labor, and the community as a whole.”
