GLOOMY PROPHETS SEE
DREADFUL YEAR AHEAD
Old Almanacs Tell of World
wide Catastrophes.

London.-World-wi catastrophes,
Including wars, floods, earthquakes,
and violent industrial upheavals, will
make the year 1928 one of the worst
in history, according to the popular
prophetical almanacs published here.
Old MOore's almanac, probably the
best known, predicts wars and ru-
mors of wars throughout the world.
Industrial unrest will occur at inter-
walls. The political parties In Britain
will undergo startling and unexpected
changes with at least one big upheaval
likely to set Britain in ferment.
Western nations are urged to guard
against the awakening of China, with
its consequent reaction on the oriental
temperament.
To Be Five Eclipses.
In the first Of the five eclipses which
occur during the year, three of the sun
and two Of the moon, it is predicted
that every effort will be made to bring
about the fall of the British govern
ment and to involve Britain in war
fare. Political enterprise from Rome
will endanger the peace of Europe,
the forecasters say, and the Mediter
ranean basin will become seething
cauldron by the first week in August.
The next eclipse, it is prophesied,
will witness martial feelings in Italy
toward Austria. Secret plots against
Britain will be Matched. War in the
East will be followed by active war
fare in many places.
A revolution among transport work
ers and mysterious deaths in high
places feature the third eclipse, says
Old Moore. Otherwise the period is a
blank.
The falling of the fourth eclipse on
the horoscope of Mussolini is a final
warming to the protector of the Ro-
man empire, 1T is predicted. Musso-
lini is told to beware of France.
There is a sign of active hostilities
from Rome eastwards. This will be
followed by great earthquake. Eu-
rope will face many exchange prob
lems and Britain will be no exception.
Danger to London is predicted in
the final eclipse. There will be great
alarm among the inhabitants and
hasty exodus The city will be under
a "cloud' greater and more distress
full than the worst of it's historic fogs.
The people will have to face great
hardships in regard to food supplies
and transport service of all kinds.
Some compensations are offered The
people will become more sober, while
religious effort will receive good
deal of encouragement. Good weather
is predicted.
AS a final warning, however, old
Moore foreshadows the spread of Rus
sian propaganda in India and China.
Raphael, "the Prophetic Messenger"
has no soothing oil in his almanac.
Storms and Floods.
He predicts floods, earthquakes and
widespread death and disaster early in
the year, to be followed by a crescen-
do of disaster at the year end De-
cember will be marked by great
storms, and devastating earthquakes,
affecting America, France and Europe.
Britain will be faced by the danger
of a great mining disaster
March brings news of wars and dec
larations of war. Mussolini may be
endangered, the almanac states, while
fascism is likely to fall as house of
cards. A fearful fire and a railway
accident, hurricanes, and seismic
shocks will follow.
| Sickness, labor revolts, great
spread of drug victims and other forms
Of vice, wave Of crime and an out
break of pests of various sorts, are
also predicted in the new year.
