FAMOUS AsTRoLoGosT DEAD

The worlds most famous astrol-

Thebes, whose real name was Anna
Victorine saviny, passed away in
Paris "A few days ago at the advanc.
ed age Of 72. Each year she made
predictions for the coming year and
in so many instances was correct,
she won for herself the title Of
"Pythoness of Paris Though she
missed her guess about half as many
times as she hit them she foretold
the Boer war, the San Francisco
earthquake, the Moroccan revolution
and the discovery of radium. On the
other hand since 1901 she had been
predicting that Kaiser William Of
Germany would be toppled from his
throne, imprisoned and that the Ho-
henzollerns would no longer predom-
mate in Germany.

United Press.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-Tne Nieuw
Amsterdam brought report that new
submarines capable of laying mines
while submerged and new raider
were roaming the Atlantic. Captain
Barren warned ships to avoid the
regular lanes. He SAID his liner mar
rowly escaped destruction in the har-
bor of Falmouth by a mine. A -traw-
lei just ahead of the liner was blown
up. He believed mines were laid in
all English harbors, even in the
mouth of the Thames.
Shipping circles regarded the re
ports most important and express
fear Of ruthless summarizing, which
will eventually cause break in the
German-American relations. 1t is
believed the mine laying is Ger.

PRoGREssIvEs IN SESSION

1t has been plain ever since the Of
ncial returns came in that, in the
election of last November, the Pro-
gessives and the Republicans did
not stand shoulder to shoulder. All
the evidence points to the fact that
the great body of the Progressives
led by Theodore Roosevelt in 1912
during the campaign of their inten-
ton to vote for Mr.. Wilson rather
than Mr.. Hughes but they stamped
their decision indelibly upon the re-
suit. Clearly, it was the Progressive
vote in dissent that carried the
Western states and so gave the vic
tory to the President. 1t has been
equally clear since the official re-
turns came in that the result in No
vember marked Republican rebuke
rather than Democratic victory.
The Progressivism of President Will
son alone saved him from the defeat
that was suffered by his party as
sociates in the doubtful and pivotal
states. He could not have been elect
ed had he not stood better than his
party with the voters Of these states.
The lesson is not likely to be lost
on any of the factors in the contest
during the next four years. The
