suaded the steamboat inspectors, who
had refused to let the A. w. Smith
leave shore carrying passengers, that
it would do no harm to let the suffra-

Then the A. W. Smith lost its gang

but at last the two tugs drew rail to

On the A. w. Smith were Mrs. Nina

Because no mortals-and least of

set out, Astrologer Meyer consented

New York, Dec. 13.-"The stars in
their courses are warning against

to him and failure for his peace ship

The famous Jersey astrologer,
Gustave Meyer, whose list of realized
prophesies includes the assassination
of Mckinley and the great European
war, thus summed up today what

boken, it seems, at most unfortun-
ate hour. =
"As the Oscar II backed into the
river at about 3:13 in the afternoon,
the evil planet Mars was posted in
the fifth mansion of the heavens,
which according to the law of astrol-
ogy, governs all speculative ventures.
Now since Mars is a malefic planet,
this greatest of speculative ventures,
the peace cruise, is destined to fall
ure.
"And Henry Ford's own horoscope
but confirms this prophesy. He has
by transit the evil planet Mars on the
meridian, and this signifies not only
that he will suffer considerable loss
of prestige during this period, but
that his life also may be placed in
jeopardy!
Moreover, at birth, he had the
fortunate and peaceful planet Venus
badly afflicted by the cratic and evil
planet Uranus, which indicates that
he would be sadly disappointed in any
undertakings for the promotion of
peace among nations. OF all the
warning nations, France and Italy
will be most likely to show some de-
gree of hospitality to him, because
he was born with the sun in the 70
diacal sign Leo, and Leo governs as
trologically these countries.
Ford win return disappointed
about the first of June" Meyer said
in conclusion. There is no use of
his hoping to bring any form of peace
in Europe at present for the simple
reason that the stars indicate posi-
lively that the war cannot be brought
to an end until July Is, 1917"

SOLDIERS MISS THEIR BATH
English "Tommies" and Their officers
Alike Pine for the Accustomed
Additions.


Few of the discomforts of campaign
Ing press more hardly on the expedi-
tionary force than the simple lack of a
bath, in the opinion of London Coun-
try Life. At the front it is inevitable,
but no less hardship, especially to
the British officer, with whom the
daily tub is almost religion. We
ought to remember, however, that in
the huge temporary camps at home
where the new armies are being
trained the same discomfort reigns, be-
cause there is no time to create insti-
tutes where the comfort OF the bath
may be enjoyed. In some cases people
who live near the camps are putting
notices at their gates which invite to
the hospitality of their bathrooms Off
GERS or men who come armed with
soap and towel. This is more than a
kindly thought; it is a definite aid to
the health and fitness of the troops.
Cooks generally keep warm corner
in their hearts for his majesty's forces
and will be only too pleased to keep
steady fires going. so that the supply
of hot water may be ample.
