TREATY
HOPESIN STARS
Astronomer Foresees Con-
fusion to Enemies of
League.

Notwtthstanding the solar plexus
handed the peace treaty by the
Senate. the league of nations is
still safe and will be adopted be-
fore June, according to the predic-
tions of the stars as interpreted
by Director Frank Theodore Allen,
Of the Astrological Society.
From planetary indications there
is going to be a rarely unpleasant
shakeup in the house of Uranus"
which is the astrological birthplace
OF Senator Lodge. And the Presi-
dents star is on the rise, in spite
OF ocular evidence to the contrary.
Mercury. the sun and moon are in
the house of foreign relations"
which is in turn dominated by the
liberal Jupiter and Neptune. The
reactionary Saturn is in the house
of secret enemies" and opposed by
Venus.
From all this Director Allen
brings forth the brave deduction
that a treaty of transcendent i'm
portance will be concluded between
this and other nations during the
few weeks Immediately following
the new moon of April Is. The
treaty will be saturated with the
essence of democracy. idealism and
altruism.
Director Allen has a long list of
fulfilled predictions on national and
international affairs to his credit.

questions" he added, after 1 had

Lord Haig was the only officer I
met at the Horse Guards who did
not wear a uniform. His appear
ance in civilian dress was far diff
eerent than 1 had thought it would
be. He looked the statesman rather
than the soldier.
had learned to picture Haig as
another Foch-a grim warrior,
stern. cold, unbending, curt and
military.
But the Haig who talked to me in
such an informal, friendly manner,
was a different man altogether.
Briefly 1 should describe him as the
kind Of a man one would like to
have for his father-kind, courteous,
patient, pleasant.

When 1 met Foch in Paris, 1 felt
that I should want to be on his

Hdig Chats of World War;
Won, He Says, by Deuotion
Of All the Allied PEOPLES

One hundred and six German di-
visions were being hurled against
the British lines. The German goal
was the separation of the French
and English armies and the capture
OF the channel ports.
Haig's men held until re-enforce-
ments came and stopped the German
rush.
What, in your opinion, was the
darkest moment of the war;" L
asked Haig.
There were several dark mo-
ments, he replied. Those which
caused me the most concern came
at the time of the first battle of
the Marne. when the Germans SEEM
ed on the verge of taking Paris.
and in April, 1918, when the German
aim was a separation of the British
and French armies, and the ~destruc-
tion Of the British army.
Pershing Brought Joy.
What was the brightest moment
OF the war;" then asked of him.
There will always be a difference
OF opinion about that" he answered.
But 1 shall always remember the
brightest moment of the war as thai
In which Gen. Pershing came to us.

tured the steady flow of American
troops across the Atlantic, The
coming OF America meant that we
surely would win the war, that vic
tory was only matter of time"
In England there still is a great
zeal OF discussion as to who won the
war. This also is true in France.
The average Englishman and
Frenchman says America came too
late that the war already had been
won.
Who won the war;"
1 put it up to lHaig.
Credit Goes to All
That question can be answered
very simply" was his quick reply.
