1915 IN PROPHECY.

I •'TIIE HOHENZOLLERNS WILL,' NOT I RULE." Paris, December 13. i Madame de Thebes describes the year J beginning with March, 1915, as a great, year full of tumults, splendors, and j things atrocious and sublime. The war j should end between March arid July. | Nationalities will be unborn and re; ; pressed people freed. Italy will draw < the sword, and Germany will bo torn to j pieces, south against south and north against north, with revolutionary movi - mcnts against the military aristocracy and with peasant barbarisms, a parody i of the French Revolution. Hostages will j 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, j the Hohenzollerns will not rule, and t the Crown Prince will not reign. Aus- ; tria 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 j lii:i 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 again from its ashes. The Slav blood will thrust Turkey out ot Europe, but the Bulgarians, Greeks, Roumanians, Servians, and Montenegrins will be "wounded by the fall of the fragments of the Ottoman Empire. We 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 or its course, and then steady itself in the brilliance of peace. Three new men, of whom one will dominate all the others, will appear at the end of the yearDaily Mail. ■
