prophecy Of Hun
DEFEAT RECALLED
Residents of Albert, France,
Assert Madonna Image
Legend True.

LONDON, Dec. l3.-ResideRts Of Al
bert, Franco, are convinced that their
prophecy has been fulfilled that when
tho famous statue Of the Madonna at
Albert fell the war would end in a
victory for France and her allies. ThtS
quaint conceit grew out Of the fa@
that the statue was dislodged by Ger
nan shell fire from its perch on the
tower Of the church at Albert during the
first mad rush of the Huns through
France in 1914. The base OF the statue
wss so shattered that 1t hung over
the main road from Amiens to Ra-
raume, which passed the walls Of the
church.
Tho statue remained in that strange
noiso after the Huns had been rolled
back by the battle Of the Marne. An
effort was made To brace the statue in
its recuInbent position so that 1t could
not fall until the tower itself gave
way.
when the British line was driven back
IN March last the Hun again entered
Albert. and when the Germans retired
at the beginning Of the allied offensive
the tower with its statue had fallen,
This, curiously. marked the high tide
Of German invasion. From that day on
the Hun hordes were pressed back. The
PEOPLE Of Albert believe luck Of the
Germans deserted them when the Viz
gin Of Albert fell.
