and her fame has reached into the
war department and has even been
recognized by Premier Clemenceau.
Mile. Ferchaud owes her fame to
her prophecies concerning the war,
many of which have proved true, to
her religious exaltation, which she
has materialized into literary works,
and to her fervent patriotism. which
has given her the confidence of states
men and generals whom she has
shown how they can save France.
In devout circles 1t is firmly be-
lieved that Christ, under the image
Of the Sacred Heart, has appeared
and spoken to her frequently in the
little church Of Loublande, near
which she lives on her fathers farm.
Her gifts OF prophecy are remark
able. 1t is beyond doubt that in 1916
she announced that members of the
government were plotting against
France, and that sedition would have
to be punished soon. The Bolo Pasha
and Bonnet Rouge trials proved she
was right.
Early this year she warned several
that the Western front would
soon be pierced, adding that the allies
would pass from despair to victory"
