MIME DE THEBES,
PROPHET, DIES
Woman Who Forecast
Present War SuCCumbs-
Made Famous by Dumas

Paris. Dec. 26.-Mme. dc Thebes,
famous as an sstrologist and clair
voyant, died on Sunday az her country
residence in Mcung aged
soventy-tvo year. The real name OF
Nine. Thebcs was Anna Nictorne
Sayigny. She vas we'll known per-
sonality in Paris. and possessed in
Vulnerable secrets concerning the pri.
vate lives of men and women Of note.
The strange French character who
read the hands Of kings and jockeys
millionsires and beggars the greatest
and the least in the life OF Europe
and from them foretold, according "a
report. some OF the most notable events
in the history Of The nineteenth and
twentieth centuries, owed her start to
Alexandra Dumas, the great French
writer The story goes that Dumas in
vited group OF distinguished scientists
TO dinner one evening. requested Anna
Savigny 70 read their palms and the
following day published an enthusiastic
account Of the sesnce, giving names anc
details TO prove the truth OF mis- pro
tege's readings.
Revered BY France
Once launched as a prophet Nine
de Thebes found fame and fortune
She became the confdante OF prin-
cesses and rulers. She was looked up to
with a superstitious reverence almost
amounting TO awe. Her words were
grsvely printed in Paris and the prov
inces, and just as gravely accepted
As moro ard more of her predictions
were realized, the people Of France
clung to her words with faith that
could not be shaken by the innumcra-
bic failures OF her predictions.
The greatest interest in the pro-
pheccs OF Nine. Dc Thebes has been
aroused since the beginning Of the
European war. Wher France declared
war on Germany in 1914 the one phoph-
ecy that was TO increase the prestige
of the clairvoysnt more than any other
was realized. In an interview on De-
cember 2l, 1918. the seeress declared:
France will be drawn into war and
emerge victorious. An era Of love
peace, great hopes and great labors
will date from 1914"
This prophecy has been considered
the more remarkable because at the
time 10 was made there was not the
slightest Indication that France would
be drawn into war for years TO come.

Nearly Fifty British Peers Have Lost

London.-Whsn the full story of the
war is written it will have no more
Inspiring chapter than that which de-
scribes the magnificent part the sons
Of our noble houses have played In it
their devotion, their heroism. their
splendid deaths for the land they love.
says writer in London Answers.
Already, although the war has bare
ly reached its turning point, the list
Of these heirs to coronets they will
never wear is appallingly long. Since
the master Of Burleigh, eldest son Of
Lord Balfour of Burleigh, as gallant
a soldier as ever bore the historic
name Of Bruce, perished in the first
month Of the war, nearly so peers have
lost the sons who ought to have sue
ceeded to their honors.
These heroes have come from all
grades Of our peerage. One Of them
was heir to dukedom, who, II he had
lived, would have been premier duke,
marquis and earl of Ireland. Four
were sons Of marQuises, five had earls
for their fathers, seven were heirs to
viscounties and % were successors to
karonies. Six Of them were the last
heirs to the family honors, and the
Deerages which should have been

AroentinIans Urge Change In Law A..
ter Executions Of Two
Murderers.

Buenos Aires.-The execution of two
confessed murderers here, the first in
sixteen years, has caused such vide
spread and insistent demand for the
abolition Of the death penalty in Ar
gentina that two bills have been intro
duced in congress providing for such
abolition.
Deputy Bonifacio has presented a
bill to the lower house abolishing the
death penalty for any and ali crimes,
and Senator Iberbucca has presented
similar measure In the senate, but
extending the abolition to include mill
tary offenses.

Knaresborough. Playfaire, GibbesdaIe,
Rosmead and Stanford have now no
heirs to follow them, though their sac-
rifice has not been so great as that of
Lord Desborough, who has lost two
successive heirs In the war within
nine weeks Of each other.
Win Places on Roll Of Honor.
In this roll of honor, SO far, there
are comparatively few names that
have won fame in old-time battles,
such as Stanley, Percy, Clifford and
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS that recall
long-dead generations Of warriors.
There is little, if any, martial strain
in the blood of Goschen and Mills,
a Playfair and a Robinson; but the
bearers Of these and many another his
toric name have fought as gallantly
and died us heroically as any armored
knight of the age Of chivalry.
Young Lord Weymouth, boy Of
twenty, who died SO bravely few
weeks ago, had plenty Of fighting blood
in his veins and proved himself a
worthy descendant Of his ancestor, Sir
John Thyme, who won his knightly
spurs so valiantly on the field Of Mus
selburgh more than three centuries
ago. Lord Bridgeport's heir, who gave
up his life one June day last year,
had In his veins the blood Of England's
hero, Lord Nelson, and also Of that
grand old sea dog, Sir Samuel Hood,
admiral of the Blue.
Lord Spencer Douglas Compton, son
Of the marquis Of Northampton, who
died a year ago, could look back to q
long array Of fighting ancestors.
Generation after generation, the
Comptons were among the doughtiest
warriors of England. There was a
Compton in every battle in the Civil
war, including the third earl, who
fought SO bravely for their king at
other battle.
Lord Arthur Hay, heir to his brother.
the marquis Of Tweeddale, who died
in the second month of the war, had
one ancestor who fell on Fl0dden field.
and another who commanded regi-
ment at Marston Moor and Preston ;
and Viscount Templetown's heir, who
died on May 8. 1915, had many a war
rior among his forefathers, including
that Upton who covered himself with
glory at the siege Of Limerick under
the standard of our third William.
lord Desmond Fitzgerald.
But among all these brave young mo-
bles who have given their lives for
their king and country there were
none braver than Lord Desmond Fitz-
gerald, heir to the brother, the sixth
earl of Leinster, whose death a few
weeks ago is SO widely deplored. Dying
at the age of twenty-seven, Lord Des-
mond had already written his name
large in the annals Of the gallant Irish
guards. In the severe fighting in the
retreat from Mons he bore himself
most bravely among the brave. and in
all the later 6gsang his courage and
his reckless contempt Of danger
amazed and inspired the ranks.
He was twice severely wounded but
he laughed Mt his wounds and longed
only for a day when he could return
to his men, and 1t was q cruel stroke
Of fate which, by the explosion of q
bomb at Calais, ended life SO full Of
achievement and promise.

(F'ort Fairfield ReyiewD

Possibly there never has been q
season when at this time in May the
crops have been so nearly sowed or
planted as at present. The snow
went off early, and the weather was
then warm. There was not very
much frost in the ground in general,
and what there was got out in good
season. Since that time the wealth.
er has been good nearly all the time,
with scarcely any rain, SO that men
and horses could go out and work
every day. There is no reason why
the crops should not be we'll in, and
most Of them are already under
ground, as stated.
The roads of Aroostook county and
neighboring parts were never before
to the general improvement in roads
and partly to the dryness of the sea-
son. We should not overlook, how
ever. the great influence that the in
crease in split-log dragging has made,
together with the picking off of small
loose stones. The Presque Isle road
in particular. from Fort Fairfield viii
lage to the Pressure Isle line, is al
most like a trotting- park. Fort

were disposed to advance at the outset
to swing around later on publication of
the tenor Of the Carranza note which
created fears of renewed complications.
International Harvester issues were per-
ceptibly strengthened by the increased
earnings disclosed in the annual state
nents of the domestic and foreign COM

under reduced pressure.
