prohibition will not come in
July"
Congress says it will but the stars
say otherwise, and DR.. Delmer Eu-
gene Croft, an astrologer, of New
Haven, Conn, believes that when
it comes to a difference of opinion
between Congress and the astral
system, Congress hasn't a chance.
In a prophecy sent to The Wash
ington Herald DR.. Croft says that
the stars are pretty reliable barom-
eters of coming events, and backs
his statement with the bits of in
side information old Mars and
Venus and a few others handed
him last year. According to Dr.
Croft he had advance information
on everything that has happened in
the world, from the influenza cpl
demic to the end of the war. way
back in December, 1917.
National prohibition will not
come in July" DIR. Croft reiterates,
there will be a decided popular
and legislative reaction on the ques-
ton before many months.
Forsecs Death of Kaiser.
Other prophecies, pleasant or un-
pleasant. according to your view
point, made by the stars cover the
immediate death of Wilhelm Hohen-
zollern, the downfall of autocracy
throughout the world and an i'm
mense business prosperity in the
United States.
"The conclusion of the peace
table at Versailles will be a world
republic" he declares. There was
a divine intervention at the battle
of the Marine, at Verdun. at Chateau
Thierry, and it will come again in
the council of the nations until the
people of the earth shall embody
the tabernacle of God in freedom
and justice and honor and glory"
Efforts of imperialist propagan-
dists to re-establish the old order
of things will fail, but the nations
are warned against any seeming
repentance on the part of Prussia.
Pooh-Poohs Hun Repentance.
"Prussianism will never repent" the
stars declare, "autocracy will never
forgive. Eternal vigilance will be the
price of peace. England will need
her fully equipped navy. America will
need to be fully prepared. Patriot
ism sober, steadfastly watchful.
thoughtful, and immutable with di-
vine justicef will be tested
With promises of a brilliant era of
world reconstruction, with America in
the role of universal guide and mentor,
comes the alarming prophecy that the
work will be hindered and disrupted
by socialistic and labor troubles, es-
pecially in France and England, and
that both countries, together with
America, will lose.>in the early part
of the year, some of their most valsed
and greatest political leaders. Fetru-

fires, the return of the influenza eDi-
demic and disasters of all kinds both
on sea and on land.
More Trouble in balkans
Strained relations between China and
Japan and the rest of the world are
promised, and as usual Mexico Is
expected to make trouble of some
kind, while Balkan states will be in
ferment of petty strife
Reno is promised an increase in her
transitory population, for the stars
says that divorce will Increase In
numbers to a startling extent Bril-
liant sensations are promised society
with new social craze to lend spice
to the existence of the wearied seeker
after pleasure.
The price of coal is to take a sud-
den drop and the stars connect that
pleasant bit of news with the rrom-
lsed demise of William HohenzolIern
The exact relation between BiII's de-
parture from this sphere and the coal
situation is not explained by either OF
the prophetic planets.
Good News for SUITS.
The new Congress will support the
President and the suffrage bin will
pass, while Federal control of public
utilities will grow in favor. Business
will expand in America, the world
demanding everything she can pro-
duce.
1t will be golden era of progress"
Dr. Croft says. TT will be an era
OF youth and new beginnings. The
English-speaking peoples will be uni
hed in world vision and world service. {"
