MME. THERE'S PROPHECIES

SOME THAT HAVE ALREADY '■; COME'TRUE. Events these last days, says the Paris correspondent of the London "Daily Mail" have brought remarkable justification of a number .of prophecies made by Mme.de Thebes, the Parisian chiromancer, in her. almanach for 1914, issued last winter. "This year," said Mme. de Thebes eight months ago," "we shall pass through the gravest and most decisive hours. It will bo a year especially happy for France, in spite of Mood; in spite of tears, and in spite of,uneasy omens, victory! victory! We have noBhing to fear from the trials/of Fate. France will emerge renewed in strength, reconstituted by war." . Regarding foreign countries Mme. do Tliebes says: "Italy . pursues a'• triumphant destiny. A new PopeP Yes, and great changes with him. Between a Vatican changed as well as tried and a reformed Quirinal co-operatjon will begin." . ■ > Regarding Germany: "All is disquieting in her destiny. The person of the Emperor is most threatened''.by Fate. Ii is not the eagle of victory, he bears on his helmet." Of Austria Mme. de Thebes.wrote: "The drama in the Imperial Family which I foretold is near to accomplishment. Nono can arrest the hand of Rite." Among the predictions regarding the internal liis'tory of France is the following:—

"There will be one remarkable criminal trial arousing passionate interest in tho country, in which, as always, justice will be corrupted .by political influences. This will prodiico tumults in the streets." The reference to tho Caillaux case is liore remarkably clear.
