Nine. De Thebes, the world famous
French prophecies, has issued an Al
nanac for 1915 in which she prophecies
what will happen during the coming
year to great personages and nations
Of the universe. To lend weight to her
mystic utterances she takes care to
call attention TO what she prophesied
Tor 1914, and it must be confessed that
some Of her representations for the
year OF the outbreak of the European
war were startling in their accuracy
= She not only foretold war, but stated
hthat France would be engaged in it;
that Belgium would be ravaged with
fire and sword; that part of the terri
tory OF France would be separated for
time from the rest, and that bloody
events would take place at Warsaw
II is no wonder that, in the preface
OF her 1915 Almanac, she points with
pride TO these prophecies of disaster
IN the eyes of thousands of French
people and many others all over the
world, Nine. de Thebes is considered
an lnlainhle Seeress, unquestionably
gifted with occult powers. Years ago
she became celebrated by prophesying
the violent death of General Boulanger.
She followed this up by guessing right
on number Of other occasions, among
them when she foretold the tragic
death Of Catulle Mendes, the French
writer.
The anteroom of her home in Paris
oiten crowded with visitors, some Of
nigh standing, eager to have her read

OF letters with like requests, and the
Aimanacs and other writings which
she issues from time to time sell by

lowed by love, a year of dissensions
followed by union among the nations
Of Europe and of other great nations
across the sea.
Nineteen fourteen will witness the
birth Of a new Europe. Peace will
come from war"
In these words something like ac-
curate prophecy Of the confederation
now raging in Europe may be dis
cerned, but it is nothing to her next
prophecy uttered a year ago, in which.
as she now says. she formally an
nounced the war; 1t ran as follows:
There will be a struggle against the
foreigners. even to the field Of battle,
and. no matter when it comes, wheth-
er Immediately or a little later. it will
mean victory, victory. We have moth

will emerge endowed with new life, re-
