KAISER'S FALL IN 1911
FORESEEN BY ASTROLOGY
Horoscope of Emperor William
Published i'm 1911 Predicted
End of HOhenzOllern
House.

The Intronsigeast, a Paris paper,
in an article headed The Kaiser's
Evil Destiny" cites passages from
Emperor Williams horoscope as
drawn by Larmier, published in
The Echo of the Marvellous" for
1911.
On the emperor's birth, Jan. Z,
1859, there was a conjunction OF Sa-
turn and Mars in Taurus, denoting
the loss of property, the ruin of
the house of Hohenzollern, and the
destruction of the German Empire
in 1913 or in 1914.
The presence of Jupiter press
ages Emperor William as the last
German emperor of the Hohenzol-
lerns. Arises, in the horoscope,
means violence. The final passage is
most striking: If there is war in
1914 between France and Germany
the former will be victorious"

IOWAN IN GERMAN PRISON.
Peter Klein of johnson County
Held i'm Fatherland as Spy.

Iowa City, Ia, Aug. 10.-Peter
Klein, a farmer of Union township
Johnson county has been imprisoned
in German prison on the charge
of being a spy. News of his incarcer-
alton reached here Thursday.
A misunderstanding over pass
ports is the probable explanation of
the affair. Mr.. Klein left for Eur
ope several weeks ago, from New
York leaving his sister Anna in
that city. AS his passports had not
arrived at the time of sailing he
went without them. Then, through
the assistance of an attorney, Miss
Klein succeeded in procuring the
passports for her brother, and they
were forwarded to his supposed adj
dress in Germany.
Since then not one word has been
heard regarding the passports.
Klein wrote of his safe arrival in
Germany, but did not mention the
papers.
He had planned to go to Richigen
in Switzerland, but from the news
just received it appears that he
was seized while on his way through
Germany.
