LONDON. March 30.-Referring
to a German wireless dispatch re-
ceived here alleging as an excuse
for the torpedoing of the British
ship Asturias that the British nave
employed hospital ships to carry
troops and munitions, an official
statement was issued Thursday. Re
verting 20 previous denials of this
charge and pointing out that the
obvious remedy for such attacks is
visit and search, the statement says:
The British government does not
again point out the obvious course
which common sense and humanity
dictates. Neither does il repeat the
stern warning conveyed in the Brit
ish communication of ian. 81 that
instant reprisals would follow the
most unspeakable crime which now
disgraces the record of the German
government. 1t can only place such
facts before the judgment of civil

Nearly 80 years ago. in 1883. a novel
was published in Leipzig under the
title "surya." Ia this book the fol-
lowing prophecies appear:
In 1904 the first clash between
western and eastern countries will
take place.
In 1912 the Balkans will be
drsnched with blood and the corpses
of hundreds OF thousands of slain
men Will cover the battlefelds From

The first two OF these prophecies
have come true and the third one is
