American who;zforecast the Euro

came she would save the United

The countess, before her mar
rage 70 the Frenchman. was an
American girl, Josephine Ludwig.
She naturally hopes the forecast
for the land OF her birth will not
come true.
II am sure the man had no In
side glimpse of the secrets OF
state, says the countess. He
merely made an assertion based on
fact He pointed out to me the
facts of history as they came in
rapid succession. First there is
wiidness. Then there is war. It
seems to be natural law, just as
natural as the law that if any man
does anything to excess he must
suffer the consequences.
Now that his words have come
true recognize the fact and rec
ognize that the American people
are drifting to where they cannot
return, The people have gone from
one dance to another with reckless
abandon They have danced wild
and wilder dances and have
reached the extreme"
History shows that when the
pendulum swings too far in one di-
rection 1t must swing back. Us
ually the swing back is accom-
panied with war. Yet it may be
that war has nothing to do with the
swinging of the pendulum. There
have been so many wars in the his
tory of man that the swinging of
the pendulum may have been only
