Frances action was immediately fol-

January IS, 1871, Influenced the fate
of the German Empire, at the hour
when William was proclaimed German
Emperor.
Had President Ebert been born in
the morning or evening of the day he
saw the light of the world, then his
horoscope, according to the astrologer,
would have turned out differently. He
would not now be at the head of the
German Reich and he could take life
easily. But since he was born exactly
at noon of February of the year 1871
he has come under the influence of a
star that forebodes to him nothing
good. Saturn stood unfavorable when
he was born, and this means for Herr
Ebert shame and destruction. And the
astrologer warns the President that in
the next few months he should exercise
extraordinary discretion in all his pub
lie acts, and in all things be constant
ly on his guard.

Rathenau's Maein1s

There is in circulation in Germany a
odd moments by DR.. Rathenau, the
Foreign Minister, who was assassi-
mated few weeks ago. Rathenau was
one of Germany's leading "industrials,"
and the book takes the form Of maxims
for business men, some of the more
striking being the following:
In disputes both sides are wrong.
Take care that each of your officials
has deputy, but none of them an adj
jutant.
Businesses must be controlled on
monarchistic lines. Colleagues work
badly or, at the best, indifferently.
If you find man is unsuited to his
post retire him on full pay rather than
keep him on in his position. for he VIII
harm not only you and himself but in
Vulnerable others.
If two-thirds OF your decisions are
right be satisfied. Don't insist on
everything being right, but just act
according. to the principles in which
you believe Not all roads lead to
Rome-zig- gag ones certainly do not.
A difficult, complicated or subtle idea
serves as little in business as in life
Every great business idea can be ex-
pressed in one sentence that child
could understand. Here, as in every.
thing, the art lies gin simpli6cation.
To oppose waste even in the smallest
