h Is not a lucky day, according
to a~strology. Uranus, the sun, Saturn
and Jupiter are all in evil aspect.
According to the seers, the influ-
ences tend toward anxiety and uncer-
tainty. A storm may add to the de-
preston that will be felt without suf-
ficient cause.
The stars seem to forecast great
nervous tension and a peculiar tendency
toward quick judgment and fault-find-
ing, This condition is due to the pro-
tracted war, which has registered so
many emotions or the world conscious
ness.
Owing to planetary conditions, calm
and judicial habits Of mind are coun-
seled.
Uranus is in a place supposed to In
crease constituencies, foreboding INC
self-centered states Of mind. Work
should occupy the attention Of every
one.
The stars that foreshadow unrest
also seem to indicate that women will
be required to reinforce the ranks of in
dustry m large numbers when the new
year comes.
Labor problems are likely to be in
creaslngly complicated, but a great
leader will play a successful part in
the coming months.
one OF the signs OF the times is that
suspicion will breed more easily thar
usual and thus all public men will have
to endure unjust criticism. but this
may not last long, as it will be merely
one Of the effects Of enemy propa-
ganda.
Astrologers emphasize the fact that
under certain aspects of the stars evils
are more readily p~ropagated thar at
other times, but the effects of all male
tlc sWays may be overcome.
The seers who have p~rophesied that
the kaiser would not live through the
peace negotiations still declare that
death will come to the German en-
peror before the acknowledgment Of the
than king.
Persons whose birthdate it Is may
meet many losses in business during
the coming year. They should safe
guard health as well as the financial
condition.
Children born on this day are likely
to be proud, ~domineering and lazy.
They should be carefully trained, as
they USUALLY have fine talents

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 16.-
The state department today published
certain correspondence between for
mer German Ambassador Won Bern
storff and the Berlin foreign office,
showing that former Premier Caillaux
was in communication with German
agents in Argentina during 1915.
The first Bernstorff dispatch con-
tanned very damaging references to
Caillaux. These references show the
French government warned German
newspapers against praising Caillaux
and another gave notice of ship on
which Caillaux was sailing from Ar
gentina, which it was planned to cap
ture by submarine, because her
captain carried important papers.

hGrhO0d of two million dollars a

chanics, and cofnmisary men.
1t is not known yet whether the

officials favor the former. There will
also be two ADDITIONAL sites, to be used
as auxiliary camps and landing sta

Sit is expected that work will begin
by the first of February. 1t will take
1900 WOrkmen for six to eight weeks

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-With the
exception of a few minor matters all
the details for the location of the
Americus aviation camp have been

the Americas Chamber of Commerce,
is here comforting with officials of the
War department and is meeting all

Congressman Crisp has been devot-

arranged for the necessary railroad
facilities to the camp site, having had
the question up with the Ameircus
authorities and being assured by them
that all need ed tracks will be con-
structed.
Col. Edgar inspected and reported
favorably upon the Amcricus site a
few weeks ago. Instead of requiring
one tract of GAO acres the wer de-
partment has called for a home or
base site of several hundred acres and
will then REQUIRE two or three sites
removed from one to three miles
from the home site in order that the
machines while in the air can be
operated without danger of collisions
or otHer mishaps. At the home base
