MADAME De THEBES DEAD
Famous Prophecies Succumbed; Sh'
Foretod Many Things.
TITpitad Dress DiSpafch

Paris, France, December 81
Madame de Thebes, the famous
prophecies, is dead. She made many
prophecies, or claimed she did,
which turned out to be true. She
claimed to have prophesied the as
sassination of the Austrian Archduke
Ferdinand, which brought on the
titanic struggle that is now raging.
In 1915 and 1916, however, many of
her prophecies failed.
