viction that Mr. Wilson is qualified, as
is no other American statesman, to
guide the destinies of his country at
this time and particularly in the field
of domestic policy, and we desire as
little as possible to disguise our sat
isfaction that the reins of power are
to remain in his capable hands. -
The Daily Telegraph says: 1t is
clear that whatever his difficulties with
domestic affairs may be, man of Pres

opportunity of giving new weight to
the influence of the greatest neutral

with the world war. If he can be sure
of majority in congress he can be
sure of decisive support for clear and
vigorous line of policy with regard to
those questions of American rights
which have most profoundly stirred the
minds of his eountrymen and we do
not doubt that the second Wilson adj

Population GUESSING.

New York Sun: Perhaps GUESS
ing" is scarcely a gaod enough word
for the careful estimates now max
ing in Washington of the population
Of this country by the close of this
year Of 1916. Until an actual census
Is taken such estiamtes are the best
information o5tainable, and they are
elaborate and so we'll composed as
to be very acceptable.
According to Washington des-
patch, the staticians of the census
bureau find that the population of
continental United States on Janu-
airy /. 1917, will be 102.2S6. 800, and
with outlying possessions, included
the population will number 113,309,.
2S5. These figures are based upon
the increase shown by the fedora!
censuses OF 1900 and 1910. Stats.
ticians in the treasury department
working along another system Of com
putation, reckon that the population
of continental United States on the
first day Of this month of November
was 5000, 900.
Whichever figure be nearer right
and they are not far apart-it is clear
enough that the check to European
immigration to this country caused by
the war has not been strong enough
to- stay the rapid increase in our pop
ulation. The treasury department
figures of our population for Janu
airy /, 1914, gave the United State:
| 81, 100000: If we already count III
| 103, 600 900, as noted above, the tide
is resistless, with per cent in two
years of what we have called stag
nation"

PARIS, Dec. 27.-The worlds most
famous modern day Seeress, Madame
DeThebes, is dead. She had not been
as successful in foretelling the future
during the last two years, at least
her prophecies OF future world events
did not come as near to the mark in
1915 and 1916 as they did in years
gone by. Nine. DeThebes always
claimed to have foretold the famous
CailleuX trial and the assassination
of the Archduke Ferdinand at Sara
jevo. which started the European
war She cited la statements to
prove she also foretold this world
conflict.
In 1913 Nine. DeThebes correctly
foretoid an automobile accident to
Aristide BRAND, death and scandal
surrounding Armand De Pardussen's
quarrels between the kaiser and the
crown prince and made these strange
comments which were taken by her
admirers today as showing she sensed
the coming European conflict:
Austria will be deceived.
open hostility between slavs and
Germans is approaching.

reign and young man who was not
to have reigned will reign (this con-

assassinated, June 2S).
England must watch for her enemy
inside more than outside"
In 1914, the seeress however made
the wrong prediction of "a happy
year for France" This was before
the European war began in August
She did, however, foretell new pope
and bad days" for England.
In 1915 she failed on what was ap-
parently a prediction for peace; on
Acknowledgement OF Germany; death or
disappearance OF the kaiser; bril-
liant future for Belgium; religious
war in England: and hit the mark on
Italy's war entrance; Serbia's re-
