[ASs0cidted Press DiSbatcHl PARIS. April 2S.-Theosophists of Europe have their thoughts directed 1 toward Paris for at Paris has arrived new HindoO prophet who is regarded 1 by many Tneosophists as the pre- curser of the ultimate master who is to give to the world it's long expected moral transformation. He is a mere boy. only fifteen years of age, and he comes from Adgar in India. At four teen he wrote a book called At the Feet of the Master" which mas been translated into many languages and which is said by Theosophis1s to be inspired by d high consciousness of human needs To them the prophet. who is called both Krishnamutri and Aicyone confirms by his presence the declarations of Mrs. Annie Besant i'll her address at the SorDonne last year that profound change was coming in the life of humanity and that it was to enter upon a new phase to be SignaliZeI by the coming of the Mas ter who was to establish a new re ligion
 The prophet presided at a meeting of Theasophists, of which he is ,Gs head. II has 4,000 members. of whom 600 are in France. He plans to pass about six months at the University of Oxford to gain a knowledge of West ern culture, for he believes that in the new era there will come a union of Western culture and of Eastern wis dom. He predicts for the future the formation of new continent in the
  lantis. which according to ClassicaI tradition, once existed in 1hc Atlantic ocean.

 To permit the witdrawal of traffic police for other and more important duties such. for instance, as the hunt ing of the automobile bandits who have been terrorizing France for the past several weeks. the police au- thorities are trying an application of railroad methods in the principal ;horoughfares of Paris.
 Every American tourist who comes to Paris at once remarks the made quate regulation of street traffic when compared with that of London. Some feeble efforts have been made recent ly to direct vehicuiar traffic in cen tral points. like the grand boulevards, but enough has not yet been done. The traversing of streets. therefore, continues exceedingly dangerous in Paris to pedestrians. especially since the slower horse omnibus has been eliminated in favor of the swift and heavy autobus.
 The new railroad method applied is that of the erection of a signal cabin in the middle of the roadway at the intersection of the boulevard and the Faubourg Montmartre, one of the most congested crossroads in the city. In this cabin a policeman manipulates a large disc indicating which vehicles are to stop and which are to proceed. A broad. white line from the edge of the sidewalk across the street will mark the point where traffic must wait until given the signal te pro ceed into the next section. If this experiment proves practicable, it will be rapidly extended all over the heart of Paris.
