Prussia Due To Fall
This Year Is Prophecy

BERLIN, Feb. 23-Patriotic Ger
mans are now reminding each other
with certain sense of misgivine
that the downfall of Prussia has
been foretold for the year 1913 The
prophecy is based on a singular man
ipulation of figures-which now that
1913 is with us, has acquired new
interest.
In the year 1929 Prince William
of Prussia, destined later to be fam
Gus as the first emperor of the
Hohenzollern dynasty, but at tha'
time merely the second son of the
reigning king, with no greater am,
bition than that of any other Pruss-
ian officer, visited the famous Len
ormand, prophecies and reader OF
cards Prince William had four
questions to ask of Fate. The frs,
was:
When shall | fight at the head
of my army?" AS answer the seer.
ess commanded the young prince
to add to the figures of the year
QS29) the four figures OF which il
was composed Q-s-2-9). And so il
was. In 1S49 Prince William, "a
the head of his Prussian troops, was
successful in putting down the dan
gerous rebellion which had burst OUT
the year before in Baden.
And when shall | end great wal
as conqueror?' was the second ques
ton, Lenormand's answer was tt
set him the same magic sum tt
solve QS49-1-S-4-9). In 1871 William
marched into Paris at the head of hi'
troops,
The next question the prince ask
ed was for the year OF his death
