PARIS.-A gloomy outlook for
the United States in 1911 was today
given to the United Press by Nine.
de Thebes, champion soothsayer of
Europe, and the madame received
the United Press correspondent in
her palatial residence in the Avenue
Wagram. The only ray of hope she
held out for American whites was
that Jack Johnson was going to get
a walloping about the size of a
mules kick from a mysterious west
erner that would land him on the
shelf.
Theodore RoRosevelt and John
son are both on the eve of defeat, :"
she says.
Big capitalists are going to get
Roosevelt, and he has no chance for
election to the presidency in 1912 as
a consequence
Jack johnson, like Roosevelt, is
too confident, but a big white man
is now being prepared in the west
who will whip him..
In the future-how far she would
not say-the madame professed to
see the United States put down and
out by South America
The reason for this" she said,
is that the South Americans are
Latins. North Americans are brick
masons, who build houses. South
Americans are the clever people who
decorate the house.
'Money-mad the United States
will go to ruin in pursuit of the dol
lar.
Floods, too, are in the crystal for
the United States. There are to be
seven years of them, mixed with
bloody labor troubles and a fright
full panic, more disastrous than that
of 1909"
Madame de Thebes meant the pan
ic Of 1907, but she who casts the
future without a wobble or a culver
had clean forgotten the past.
