Ancient Omen
Tells Of BlOOdshed

Geneva, Oct. 23.-The "blood of the
Burgundians" has appeared again on
the water Of Lake Morat, near Neu-
chatel, portending more trouble Tor
old Europe, if ancient legend is to be
belieyed.
The reddening Of the water Of this
lake is caused by the Towering OF an
aquatic plant, which, however, blooms
very rarely The phenomenon was
seen in 1476, when $4,000 Burgundi-
ans under Charles the Bold were
defeated near the lake by the Swiss.
The last time the waters were red
was in 1914, just before the outbreak
of the world war, a circumstance said
to justify the, old sayings when
blood is seenson Lake Morat there
will be bloodshed in Europe"
