Asserted That Soon Four Nations
Will Remain-Anglo-Saxon, Latins,

Washingtonians are recalling a
prophecy made by Count Tolstoy in 1911.
concerning the coming of THE Second
NAPOLEON" for which the stage appears
to be set now in Europe.
The aged Russian foretold with consid-
cradle accuracy the state in which Eu-
rope now finds herself. Whether he was
correct az to his vision of a single man
again holding the destiny of the old world
for decade remains to be seen.
Emperor William of Germany asked the
Car of Russia three years ago to obtain
for him a message from Tolstoy-some-
thing that he had never written before
The car. anxious to oblige. commanded
Countess Nastasia Tolstoy, grandniece
of the sage. to interview Leo Nicolae-
witch. as he was Familiarity called. and to
secure from him the desired document.
This prophetic message is known as
'.Tolstoy's Vision by his admirers.
Printed in Russia in 1912, it was trans
lated and first circulated among friends
of the Moscovite philosopher as a pri-
vately printed and little known pam
phlet.

Tolstoy visited her granduncle at his
country estate ana explained orleHy her
mission. He listened curiously and re-

me is that l have written all my life
messages for the mob. I am not accus-

over.
A few moments afterward her aged
host asked the countess to write. as his
hands were then paralyzed. Tolstoy slow
" leaned back in his chair, covered his
eyes with his hand and remained abso-
lutely silent. Then. Strengthening up like
in a trance. he began in a low and
hollow voice:
