END OF THE WAR FORECAST BY A SEER . DEATH OF HITLER COLLAPSE OF NAZISM "The war will end in 1942 with Hitler's death and the collapse of Nazism. But the belligerent Powers will be So exhausted thlait there will be no victor and no defeated in the common sense of the word. Whoever survives it wil'l live to see a new and better world," These were the prophetic words, uttered by Boriska Silbiger, faMolis Hungarian prophetress, in her surprising forecast of Coming events, before she arrested on Hitler's orders for having foretold the debacle of the Axis and the doom of Hitler, states an article by J. J. Lynx in the October issue of the English magazine "Prediction," The article continues:—■ The tricky years of 1939 and 1940 have proved the fallacy of many astrologers and fortune tellers. One 0;f the few exceptions is Boriska Silbiger whose forecasts of the years 1935 to 1939, published in newspapers all over the world, have come to pass with extraordinary precision. TliC3 r are especially amazing inasmuch as they mentioned the exact dates of many of the events foretold. An early surprise of Miss Silbiger's forecasts came at the end of 1935 Avlien she predicted the death og King George of England and the abdication of his successor, King Edward VIII., in the following words:— "In January of the following year the King of a mightj' empire will suddenly die. He will be succeeded by his' eldest son but the reign of his successor will not exceed twelve months after which time he will renounce the throne.'' Tale of a Throne In January, 193(5, King George V. died. King Edward who suceeeded him abdicated one year later to marry Mrs Simpson and became Duke of Windsor.

Tliat forecast, published then in 1 the United States, in Holland, Swit- < zerland and Scandinavia was quite a sensation. Never before had a l'dr- < tune teller predicted events with t such a precision as this unknown Hungarian woman, and when during i coming" years and in quick succes- | sion she foretold the outbreak of the Sj>anish Civil War, the date of i the occupations of Austria and of Czechoslovakia, newspaper readers all over the world did* listen to her prophecies with ever-growing thrill and attention. Date of Present War Foretold l And really it is amazing how Boriska Silbiger with seemingly infallible clarity saw the course of coming events. In November, 1938, her forecast was issued for the y ear 1939, and here are some extracts of that now already liistiracal document. It was printed in December, 1938, in about thirty newspapers all over the world. "War. looms ahead, and is bound to break out in 1939. In March 1939 the European crisis will reach its turning point, but there will be no war before the month of September. Preceding the war a great accident will befall one country in the Western Hemisphere, and will wreak such disaster that the country will lie the object of universal compassion. Before the new great war I . starts, the Spanish Civil War will be over." Miss Silbiger here .surprisingly says in 1938 the exact date o! the outbreak of the war, long belure Mr Chamberlain went to Munich. lie;' reference to the country in disaster in the Western hemisphere nnilo.ibtedlv means the earth- uake in l.l.i'e.

the Russo-German pact, in spite of the negotiations between Great Britain and Russia, as well.

In December, 1939, Europe was at war. Nevertheless, living in a neutral country, Boriska Silbiger wrote down her prophecies for the yeai 1940. Most! of the counties in which her forecasts were published in the j previous years were now involved in the hostilities, and her prophecies were only printed in the Americas, Scandinavia and Switzerland. But, precise as the forecasts of that I amazing woman Miss Silbiger were in recent years, they came to pass in the most fateful year of 1940. "By tlhe end of the year of 1940," Miss Silbiger said, "everybody in Europe will be in the war, Italy will unexpectedly enter upon a bold and daring enterprise, much worse |or her- Great Britain will suffer. But this country calm and safe ill her strength, will show a powerful unted front towards the world. However, she will go into lengthy disputes and conflicts with another friendly country, allied to her." Here, Miss Silbiger foretold the debacle of France; she continues: — "Great Britain will lose an important ally, and colonial questions will be disputed with him." But that surprising forecast is not yet ended. "America," it says, "will not enter the Avar, and although there Avill be important changes in the political life there will be no change in her entire policy. A great gesture will be shown by this country at the end of the year of 1940, but I cannot' see whether it is of moral or financial nature." Obviously Miss Silbiger meant the third term of President Roosevelt when referring to "No change in the entire policy" and her other reference is clearly to the "Help Britain"' polic3 r . "Japan," continued this striking forecast, "will begin to move at the end of the year. She will try to start trouble in the Western Hemisphere, but will be checked by a Western Power. With the Sino-Jap-ancse war still on she will be too feeble to try any big adventure." That is the prediction of Japan's move towards the Dutch colonies, and the check she received from the United States. Fateful Forecasts And here is the prophecy that brought about the arrest of the seeress: — "In 1942 America Avill enter the war, which Avill be now a universal Avar. "One of the most important parts of the Avar Avill be played by Ireland. "In South America trouble is brewing. "In 1942 Hitler Avill die, and the debacle of the Nazi system Avill pre- I cede the end of the AA r ar." On orders from Berlin, Boriska Silbiger Avas arrested. Hungary being under the pressure of the Nazis could not do other than execute the orders given by Naziland. The prophetress avlioi read in the future like an open book is silenced by Hitler's henchmen.
