His name is Michel de Nostradamus, and his popularity stems from the fact that he seems to have been endowed with some strange faculty which permitted him to foretell the future with amazing accuracy.For those not familiar with the previous prophesies of Nostradamus, here are a few of the seer’s predictions which history has already borne out. A full century before the event, for instance, Nostradamus predicted the great fire of London which almost destroyed the entire city. He foretold England’s rise to a great sea power when that country was nothing more than an inconsequential island. He predicted submarines and planes. He not only predicted the rise of Hitler but called him by name.But enough of the past, what of the present and future? In the one reeler Nostradamus has this to say about the German campaign in Russia: “Then rain, snow, sudden, impetuous, shall hinder the insults of the robbers. The most powerful armies in disorder shall be routed and shall be pursued.”About Pearl Harbor, the prophet warned against when “Littlemen shall talk of peace, their foreign guard shall betray a fortress.” “So great shall be the attack of the plunderers,” wrote Nostradamus, “twenty-one and more shall range themselves in great league.”There are twenty-one signators to the Pan-American conference.“Further Prophecies of Nostradamus” will be an added attraction at the Tiger Theatre Sunday and Monday with “To the Shores of Tripoli” as the feature.Pamphlets DisplayedAt HeadquartersDent McGough, Montgomery; Joe Floyd McManus, Wedowee; Woodrow Wilson McNair, Union Springs; Hugh Gilbert Maddox, Douglas, Ga.; Kenneth Bruce Maddox, Fayette.Herbert Marshall Martin, Jr., Auburn; Ira Crawford Mayfield, Jr., Opelika; William Harold Michelson, Decatur; William Benjamin Moore, Jr., Selma; Max Adams Morris, Blountsville; Andrew Brydge Morrison, Montgomery; Mays Elliott Montgomery, Vincent; Wayne Brasher Nelson, Jr., Birmingham; Samuel Du-Bose Nettles, Tunnel Springs; James Hugh Nichols, York; Allen Hale Nottingham, Birmingham; John Pelham, Anniston; John Manderville Phipps, Natchez, Miss.; John Leonard Pierce, Jr., Camp Polk, La.Henry Douglas Purswell, Dothan; George Robert Rice, Double Springs; James Horace Samford, Montgomery; Clarence Edwin Scarsbrook, Orrville, Thomas Warren Schuessler, La-Fayette; Mark Scott Skelton, Scottsboro; Earnest Alex Smith, Cullman; Samuel Lee Smith, Brewton; Jack Richard Snow, Jasper; Russell Douglas Stewart, Atmore; Hamlin Hannibal Tip-pins, Auburn; Samuel Luther Tisdale, Hattiesburg, Miss.; Thomas Wright Underwood, Summer-dalp: Scott Vanco.
