Although the planetary rule over hu-
man affairs Is not strong today, il is
a time to be cautious. While Uranus
and Mercury are In mildly benefic as
pect, the sun and Venus are adverse.
Love affairs are Likely to intrude
themselves under this sway and in u
manner to be trying and embarrassing.
There seems to be an influence under
this rule that causes men to be i'm
questionable and even reckless. In max
ing new friends they may not use
good judgment.
Under this planetary government
criticism is easily fostered. There is
a forecast OF much investigation Of pub
lie affairs and Of reforms in public
institutions.
Owing to the changed world condi-
tons, which bring psychic forces into
closer relationship with material things,
thoughts will be much more potent
than they have been and should be
more carefully guarded,
II Is not an suspicious time for en-
tering into any written agreements.
Scandals and law suits in regard to
contracts are prognosticated.
Under this government Of the stars
whatever Ia odd or eccentric flourishes,
Persons OF advanced or radical views
should benefit from this configuration.
One Of the malefic effects Of un-
friendly stars may be headaches and
loss OF hair.
During this sway spiritism and oc-
cultism Is likely to gain credence, IRA
nus in evil place is said to encourage
the black art.
The annular eclipse this month, which
fell in the second ocean OF Sagitarrius,
is said to cause the death Of camels
and other animals that cnew the cud.
Serious earthquakes are threatened

CHAPTER XVII.
EnVer AS the Man Who Demonstrated
the Vulnerabillty Of the British
Fleet"-old-F ashIoned D~efenses
Of the Dardanelles.
When the situation had reached this
exciting stage, Enver asked me to visit
the Dardanelles. He insisted that the
Notifications were ~impregnable and he
could not understand, ne said, the panic
which was then raging In CONSTANT
hople. He had visited the D~ardanelles
himself, had inspected every gun and
every emplacement, and he was en-,
tlrely confident that his soldiers could
hold off the allied fleet indefinitely. He
had taken Talaat down, n by doing
so he had considerably eased that
statesman's fears. 1t was Enver's con-
viction that, if | should visit the forti-
fications, | would be persuaded that the
fleets could never get through, and that
l would thus be able to give such assur-
ances to the people that the prevailing
excitement would subside. l disregard
ed certain natural doubts as to whether
an ambassador shuld expose himself
to the dangers of such a situation
the ships were bombarding nearly every
day,--and promptly accepted EnVers
invitation.
On the morning Of the 18th, we left
Constantinople on the Yuruk. EnVer
himself accompanied us as far as Pan
derma, an Asiatic Town on the sea of
Marmora. h party included several
other nOtables: Ibrahim Bey, the minis
ter of justice; Husni Pasha, the gen.
eral who had commanded the army
which had deposed Abdul Hamid in
the Yung Turk revolution, and Senator
Cheriff Djafer Pasha, un Arab and a
direct descendant of the prophet. A
particularly Congenial companion was
Fuad Pasha, an old field marshal, who
had led an adventurous career; despite
his age, he had an immense capacity
for enjoyment, was a huge feeder and
a capacious drinker, and had as many
stories to tell of exile, battle and hair
breadth escapes as Othello. All of these
men were much older than Enver, and
all Of them were descended from far
more distinguished ancestors, yet they
treated this stripping with the utmost
Difference.
Enver seemed particularly glad of
this opportunity to discuss the situation,
Immediately after breakfast, he took
me aside, and together we went up t.
the deck. The day was a beautiful
sunny one, and the sky in the Mar.
mora was that deep blue which we
find only in this part Of the world,
What most impressed me was intense
quiet, the almost desoiate inactivity
of these silent waters. our ship was
almost the only one in sight, and this
inland sea, which in ordinary times
was one of the worlds greatest com
mercial highways, was now practically
