Great Wave of Occultism
Sweeping Over Germany
Many Societies Organized for
Study of Spiritualism, The
osophy and AstrOlOgy


LONDON, Feb. 26.--News comes from
Germany that there is an unprecedent-
ed wave of occultism in that country.
Card readers, astrologers, clairvoyants
and mediums have opened establish
ments all over Berlin. Large numbers
of societies have been organized for
the study of spiritualism, theosophy,
occultism and astrology: Many have
unusual names, among the leaders be-
ing "Armadora" and Oshm-Rahma-
Johjiyjah." In Armadora the domi-
mating personality is a medium known
as Queen of the Stars" An "Order
of Occultists" founded year ago now
has 1000 members.
On higher plane is the "Anthro-
posophic Society,"" founded by DR..
Steiner on his secession from the The
osophists in 1903. 1t has 5000 mem
bers and has begun construction of a
great temple, the "Gotheanum," at
Dornack, on which 100000 marks
already have been expended.
Another of it's developments is "a
limited company for the production of
scientific and natural values" Twenty
five million marks have been asked for
this enterprise and 100000 already
have been subscribed.

for a Week

From The 7ribunea European Bureau
LONDON, Feb. pa strike of the
municipal electricians of the London
suburb of Ilford recently kept the COM

clerical staff of the town hall, the mu-
nicipal garbage men and other en-
ployees of the urban council went out
on sympathetic strike, and Ilford
found itself living under the condi-
tions of the Middle Ages.
Lanterns were used by those who ven-
tured out at night. and along the busi-
ness streets shopkeepers Illuminated
their windows with wax candles.
The strikers made one exception to
the rule of no heat, no light. Six men
remained on duty at the powerhouse
to provide electricity for an electric
incubator at a local hospital, where
baby few weeks old was being raised
under artificial heat.
