PARIS, Jan. 5.-Here are the pre- dictions of Europe's most famous prophets for the year 1922 as applied to the United States

 External affairs will be good for America. America is generally sched- uled for a happy year"

 'I see change in America's sky. Her star of destiny shines brighter than ever and is only beclouded tenn porarily, indicating external difficult ties with neighbor. Business will be better, however, and exportation will increase, although the value of the dollar will remain high. Unem- ployment will decrease and the har- vest will be excellent, despite heavy rains in the region of the Middle West
 "The year will see several notable theatrical successes raise to fame a new, young dramatist, but although the literary production will be large there will be no masterpiece"
 By Fraulein Webber, Swiss pro phetess:
 America in 1922 definitely will take her place as the supreme world leader. Her weather will be bad, but business affairs will be better"
 By Hermit of Toulouso":
 Tn January American foreign pol icies are likely to undergo a great change. favoring Europe In March I see storms. especially in Mississip- pi. One of the largest American cities will be struck by a disaster.
 "In July a particularly horrible murder will occur, with a prominent woman involved It will be solved September there will be a great coal strike, but it will be suppressed quickly. In December great Ameri can statesman will die."
 Madame De Helene, in addition to  American prophecies, presages a DO litical crisis in England and Germany, a revolution in Spain, bloodshed in Portugal, but says the year will be favorable to France
 Mile. Le Nourmand predicts for Flu rope general business recuperation. but sees grave diplomatic incidents toward the end of 1922, leading to a terrible war in 1925. She says Ger many will not pay the indemnity and that France will be menaced with war in which will come domestic catastrophes.
 Helene further predicts "crisis of immortality" for December, while Le Nourmand asserts: Women will be- come more frivolous than ever, but skirts will stay long and with ample lines"
 The Hermit of Toulouse predicts civil war in Asia that will bring about international intervention.

LONDON, Jan. 5.-Anti-white feel ing is fast increasing among the na- tiyes in various parts of Africa, states Reuters in an article 'oased on documentary and other evidence obtained at first by an authoritative British observer who has visited every part of Africa"
 Reuters informant emphasizes the growing cohesion of native races throughout the continent. He says the strongest factor in the develop ment of antagonism to the whites is "skillful propaganda fostered by an extreme section of American ne. groes."
 Circulars coming from Nationalist sources in India and Egypt and from Pan-African societies in the United States. translated into five Of the principal African languages are dis tributed in enormous numbers throughout Africa" the traveller states. Booklets of 25 to 30 pages urge that the time has arrived fo; the black races to assert themselves and throw off the white yoke.

Tt is only fair to say" adds the authoritative British observer, that these are not received with universal sympathy, but the very unsettling effect is easily to be observed"
 He has met it in the Union of South Africa. in French Equatorial Africa and in a lesser degree in Uganda. in Nyasaland. Belgian Congo. Abyssinia and Kenya.
 Tt is wonderful the extent to which the war has produced frater- nal feelings among natives but in present circumstances they tend to become anti-European." he continues. The main reason is the growth of race consciousness through the world
 The most effective remedy is an equitable system of land tenure guar anteeing to the native a stake in the country. protection from eviction by his own chief or local European in. terest and a system of higher educa. tion that provides something more than the three Rs"

TO MAKE UNITED
STATES A WEAkLING
PACIFISTS HELD A MENACE
TO THE NATION. WRECK
ARMY AND NAVY.

LEESBURG, Va. - Paciists are
seeking to destroy the army and navy
and render the United States a weak
ling among the nations of the world
and insidious propaganda is being di-
rected against all the American gov
eminent, acting Secretary Of War
Wainwright declared in an address
here today at the dedication Of me
mortal to the world war dead OF Lou
doun county.
Since the great war;" said Mr..
Wainwright, ''innumerable 'lsms' have
sprung up in our country whose dec
laration of objective is to destroy
Americanism, to which we owe all that
we possess as a nation Groups OF peo-
pies and classes are organizing for ev-
cry kind of purpose except a patriotic
and national one. Insidious propagan-
da is being directed against all of the
fundamentals of our government.
"The most pernicious of all are those
who are striving to substitute interna--
tionalism for nationalism. They would
destroy from within what no enemy
has been able to destroy from without
our ideals of government, constitu-
ton and leadership in the world.
THE pacihsts, who were silent dur
ing the war, and missing from the
ranks of our defenders, would destroy
our instruments of defense-the army
and navy-and render us a weaklng
among the nations. These information
alists and pacihsts are working togeth-
er and in most instances the same peo-
pie are even trying to induce our
youths to foreswear allegiance to our
flag and refuse to defend it. If such are
not enemies, then who is?
IF the United States is to have an
influence for peace among the nations
of the world she must retain heir.
strength and individuality as nation,
the war secretary declared.
1--WE are a peace loving people" he
said, but if the price OF peace is, our
existence and the destruction and all
we hold dear. then l for one do not
want peace. But God forbid"

Lady Bug, Lady Bug,
Come Back Home!

Lady bug, lady bug, fly away
home!" used to be popular juvenile
jingle years ago, but Georgia farmers
are using it with reverse English
nowadays, importuning the lady bugs
to fly in the direction of their farms
and take up a permanent residence
there.
The change in sentiment toward the
little red, speckled back insects is a
result of, extensive investigations car
ried on by biologists which showed
that the lady bug, or more properly
the lady bird beetle, is one of the most
efficient natural agents for the destruc-
ton of plant lice known.
Gifted with a ravenous appetite, the
lady bugs prey upon the harmful va
rieties Of garden and orchard insects.
They regard the plant aphis, one OF
the most destructive of garden pests,
as a particular delicacy, the investiga-
ton showed, and devour them in great
quantities. Their activity results in a
crop saving of high commercial bene-
fit to the farmer.
So great is the reputation of the lady
bug that they are raised in quantities
in California and sold to farmers by
the quart. Their eggs look like. potato
bug eggs but should not be confused
with them and destroyed.
