While Mars and Mercury rule

Soldiers come under a government
of the stars which is most promis-
ing. They should benefit from
courageous achievements that bring
success.
Promotions and recognition OF
ability in the army are foreshodaw-

Mercury appears to promise good
news regarding the war and the
seers prophesy SURPRISES that come
after much anxiety.
Uranus is in a plane believed to
encourage treachery and deceit.
This will be uncovered in places
most dangerous to the United States
government, astrologers predict.
Again the fact that Americans
are always protected and guided in
a miraculous manner is pointed out
by the seers, who prophesy victory
in the war.
All the signs seem 20 presagc a
new consciousness or the meaning
of the war and for that reason in
creased efficiency in preparing for
II in the United States. The stars
indicate that momentum and success
will be apparent in every important
national effort from this time on.
Political activity is foreshadow-
ed for this month. Members OF
Congress may expect TO encounter
extraordinary changes in senti-
ment.
There is a promise of great prog
ress for the coIored race, which will
