1915 IN PROPHECY
"THE HOHENZOLLERNS WILL NOT RULE." Paris, December 15. Madame de Thebes describes the year beginning with March, 1915, as a great year full of tumults, splendours, and things atrocious and sublime. The war should end between March and July. 1 Nationalities will be reborn and oppressed people- freed. Italy will draw the sword, and Germany will be torn to pieces, south against south and north against north, vtfth revolutionary movements against the military aristocracy, and with peasant barbarisms, a parody of the French Revolution. Hostages will be massacred, and there will be trials and scaffolds. The conquerors will cross her frontiers. Germany will seem to give way suddenly, and, gaining time, will renew her attacks. In any event, the Hohenzollerns will not rule, and the Crown Prince will not reign. Austria will share the bitter fate of her Ally. Francis Joseph has brought bad luck to all who have loved him, and cannot die without bringing bad luck to bis people. The-menace of entire destruction will not yet have passed from Belgium. Her King and people will yet know grief and tears, but her destiny seems magnificent. England by this war will escape grave interior perils. She .will play a supreme part and will be. saved herself. The Entente will be fruitful,' and England's destiny renowned and sparkling. Russia 'will march forward, and Poland will rise r gain from its ashes. The Slav blood will thrust Turkey out of Europe, but the Bulgarians, Greeks, Rumanians, Servians, and Montenegrins will be wounded by the fall of the fragments of the Ottoman Empire. Wo are not near peace throughout Europe. Serbia among others is not at the end of her warlike destiny. . For France the year will take a bloody and broken path for three-parts of its course, and then steady itself in the brilliance of peace. Three new men, of whom one will dominate all the others, will at the end of the year.— "Daily Mail."
