ODD PROPHECIES
OF WARS RESULT

That clever Partisan chiromancer,
Nine. de Thebes, whose prophecies in
the past have proved so startlingly cor
rect that she has been consulted by
kings and statesmen, wrote in her
almanac for 1914, issued last winter:
This year we shall pass through the
gravest and most decisive hours. II
will be a year especially happy for
France, in spite of blood, in spite Of
tears, and in spite of uneasy omens.
Victory! victory! We have nothing to
fear from the trials of fate. France
will emerge renewed in strength, re-
constituted by war"
Regarding Germany she said: "All
is disquieting in her destiny. The per-
son OF the Emperor is himself threat
ened by fate. It is not the eagle of
victory he bears on his helmet"
The Allies will find further encout-
agement. "Tit-Bits" thinks, in letter
written in 1870 by Emile Olivier, Pre-
mier Of France, at the beginning of the
Franco rusSian War. 10 the King of
Prussia after the third Napoleon's fall.
The latter contains prophetic passages,
y
open new thirty years war. II you
behave as conqueror you are preparing
against a Prussian alliance of the Slav
and Latin races. God punished us for
allowing our long prosperity TO sap our
yirility; lie will punish your people and
your race swollen by victory. Don't
scorn my words, sire, because they are
those OF vanquished man. Napoleon
after Jena scorned the vanquished.
They replied by Waterloo"
There Is an equally interesting
prophecy in Colonel Carriers book en-
titled, The Great Pyramid" published
two years ago. In this book Colonel
GARNER endeavors TO show how the
Pyramids Of Egypt are connected with
the great happenings of the world, and
in u summary Of event for 1914 he
says: German invasion of Britain is
defeated after much suffering, and is
followed by great development of the
military and naval powers Of Britain"
The invasion is scarcely likely, but the
prophecy is none the less remarkable.
The hostility of the whole German
press was aroused a few months ago
by the publication Of book entitled
Der Zusammenbruch," or The Deba-
Gle" in which Captain Persius dealt
with an imaginary Anglo German war
which opened with the capture Of
"Kiao-Chau" by the British China
squadron. The German feet, faced by
larger British feet, remains in kiel
l!arbor during the opening stages Of
The war. German torpedo attacks on
the British blockading fleet in the
North Sea are attempted, with no great
success; and meanwhile the StagnatiOn
of trade and the scarcity of food are
making themselves felt in Germany.
Finally forced 10 fight, the German
feet is practically compelled by force
Of public opinion to put to sea. The
result of the action between the Brit
ish and German fleets is that the lat
ter is annihilated.
Some time ago Sir Percy Scott made
a remarkable forecast.
IF we 90 20 war" he said, with a
country that is within striking dis
lance of submarines | am of'the opin-
ion that that country will at once lock
M their dreadnoughts in some safe
harbor; we shall do the same: their
aeroplanes and airships will fly over
our country: they will know exactly
where are ships are and their sub
marines will come over and DESTROY
anything and everything that they can
get" The Germans have already car
ried out part of this forecast by lock
ing M their navy.
Remarkable prophecies have also
been made by General Nogi, the cele-
brated japanese commander, and Hill
aire Belize.
Astrology experts, like General Nogi.
are very hopeful regarding the result
Of The war. They tell us that the
eclipse is specially fatal 10 the Kaiser
and Austrian Emperor and that, al
though Britain will eventually be vic
torous. she will learn the needed les
son that intelligence higher than mans
sometimes takes a hand in the ruling
of the nations"
