BERLIN, July 2.-Damc History
will tear up the treaty of Versailles T:
Il new Hohenzoilcrn Kaiser will be
restored To the Prussian throne for
few years. only to he dethroned and
executed. England and France will
be engaged in new world war which
will prevent their interference in
Gcrmany's working out her own
destiny. After years of terror, a
new Cromwell or Napoleon will arise
from the ranks of the common poo
pie. who will first establish II milf
tary dictatorship and later crown
himself King Of Germany.
These are few of tile prophetic
historical deductions OF Or. Max
Ncmmcrich of Munich, which. in
pamphlet form. are being passed
from hand to hand in royalist circles
and among the former officers OF the
German general staff. In 1912 and
1913. when this combination of the
mystic and deep student of history
warned his countrymcn of the i'm
pending war and revolution. of the
forthcoming destruction of Austria
and restoration of Poland. Of the Rus
sian revolution and the division of the
Socialist marty and it's coming rise to
power, Germany laughed at DIR. kcm-
merich and called him crazy.
Before the war the historical seer
advocated the accumulation OF vast
stores OF food TO protect Germany
from the coming hunger blockade.
In the summer of 1918 he went TO
the Bavarian War Ministry and au-
vised the organization of selected
home guards to protect South Ger
many in the coming revolution. The
modern German Cassandra was
laughed at and shown the door.
