The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-01-05

he warned the Gar of sinister and
seditious influences" of trouble brew
ing" in which the German Emperor's
hands would not be clean.
But instead of the United States en-
tering the war, he forecast an effort
on President Wilson's part to bring
about a peace that should be favor
able to Germany.
Having missed his mark in most
important matters in 1917, he is
shrewdly vague in his prognostica-
lions for 1918, contenting himself
generally with such words as trouble
to rulers, disturbance and unrest
among the populace," increase Of
crime and lawlessneSs," unsettled
weather in April % great activity
in shipping circles" notable persons
in danger of DEATH" society scandal
of considerable magnitude" IAN &C
tive time for railroads.
But he says 1.-The blessings of peace
will now begin to manifest themselves
thus implying that the war will end
before the year is out.
Raphael is freer with his advice to
statesmen than he with his forecast
He warns Lloyd George and his tee
total friends to take a lesson from
Russia, where 1.-THE teetotal policy
was the chief cause of the. trouble.
And he calls for a general election so
as to rid His Majesty Of the milk-and-
water politicians who are a source of
weakness to his Empire"
1.-The Kaiser still lives,'' he writes,
''but it is said in more than one quar-
ter that he is dying of cancer and
head trouble. Should he survive 1917
he will still be under even more I'M
favorable influences, and an end may
be put to his life and his reign at any
moment"
He warns President Wilson that
"evil turks in his nativity and may
burst through at any moment"
In his hieroglyphic for the year he
shows a picture of the Kaiser in
mass of flames, fed by pair of dew
lis.
! Orion's Almanac is even wagner
than the others. One has to search
carefully for a prediction that is con-
crete.
He foresees labor troubles, discon-
tent among employees of the British
Railway and Postal Services, a new
era dawning for Russia, closer bond
of sympathy cemepting Great Britain
and her colonies, the necessity for
prudent craftsmanship 20 keep Eng
land free from complications brought
about by the willy diplomacy of her
foes.
He foretells a National crisis" in
Austria, many evils troubling France
and italy, civil war either in Germany
or Austria or both, Germany throwing
obstacles in the way of an equitable
settlement and trying to cause dissen-
sion between the Allies.
He thinks an armistice may be pro-
posed in July; he hopes King George
will escape the deaths and sickness
and accidents that threaten crowned
heads in September, but says the con-
figurations of the planets in Novem-
Der "augur well for peace and a set
tlement of hostilities," and that /" a
halt is called and a rest from the
reckless slaughter"
Zadkiel, who was the vaguest of all
the prophets in his Interpretation of
the message of the stars for 1917, is
a little more specific this year.
He says it is probable the Central
Powers will sue for peace on our and
our Allies terms at the end of 1917
or early in 1918; the relative positions
of Jupiter and Venus presignify a vic
torious peace for u.s."
Again, "at Berlin, Vienna and Con-
stantinople the indications are those
of widespread suffering, mortality
epidemic, diseases and defeat; and
moreover of misfortunes, if not over

'.At Petrograd the sun in the 10th
mansion is favorable to Russia parti-
: cipating in the victory of her Allies
but only after very hard fighting. In
: sidious enemies and anarchists will
cause grave internal troubles"
He is inclined to anticipate" thai
E victorious peace will follow soor
after the total eclipse of the sun June
s.
In the summer he foretells a grea-
struggle of the Socialists of Germany
against their rulers, Gin which it i!
= not very likely to succeed but there
1 will be great misery among the com

: sickness, which the highest circles
will not escape.
