FRIENDLY TO WILSON

Paris. April lG"The time has come
to destroy the legend tending to repre-
sent President Wilson as adopting re-
gretfuly such a solution" says the Petit
Parisien in commenting upon the settle
ment of the question relative to the left
bank of the Rhine by the Council or
Four. There may have been diver
gencies as TO methods, but there was an
agreement on principle, and an agree
ment on the resolution of that principle
is bound to follow.
Not the least interesting feature of
the prolonged discussion was to see
Preside Wilson apply himself pas
sionatuly 1. the task of solving the
problem f.ci still not njuring the rights
of France. He uttered a phrase one day
which France ought to know. He declared
with an accent coming from his heart:

if the great peace we are making should
be jeopardized by any difficulty between
France and America. The man who
threw his country into the war for
France remains our great friend.

"PROPHET' SEES NEXT
WORLD WAR IN 1926

London, April :. Correspondence of
the Associated Press. )-There will be an
other world war beginning in June, 1926,
according to "A writer in the British
journal of Astrology. This prophet. who
signs himself 'Sepharal," asks for a
hearing, nasmuch as he claims to have
published year in advance in each
case the exact date of the war of 1914
and of the cessation Of hostilitics.
THE first phase of the next war" he
writes will begin with Turkey, whose
perfidy will lead TO its final overthrow
in 192l-22 At this time Prussian intrigue
will dominate the position in the Near
East, affecting Greece, Turkey and Rus
sia But according to my calculations
the great crisis will not be reached unit
June, 1926,
In this great war, which may be re-
garded as Prussa's counter to the wal
of 19l4-1S, the malevolent forces take
their rise in Vienna and Berlin, ascend
to Petrograd, penetrate through thu
whole of Russia and descend the Blacl
sea and Turkey in Asia, on to Syrii
and Palestine"
Another allied victory is predicted by
"Sepharal."
