PROPHECIES DOOM KAISER SOME REMARRA.BLE WARN- INGS HERE GIVEN., This Horoscope, Published in' 1898, Forecasted the Present ' War. A reader of the. New York Sun sends, to that paper a copy of the horoscope of Kaiser William taken frons W. Goin Old's: "New Manual of A.strology," published in London in 1898. It reads: ';Born January 27, 1859, 3 pan.,: at Berlin. Here we find Saturn in the sign of its debility opposing the sun in its weakest sign ; 'Mars and Neptune conjoined in the meri- dian, and the sun semi -square to both; the 'nalefres, Neptune, Mars, and Uranus, elevated,. and 'the moon in opposition to Uranus. The Emperor has a const fateful horo- scope, and during',,; his reign the German Empire .will suffer revers- als of which hitherto it has had no shadow of experience. "The destiny 'of Kaiser Wilhelm is such .that will lose nearly the whole of his possessions. He will never he a popular 'monafich. Mars in the meridian, •will• cause him to engage in continual quarrels, and the sun in opposition to Saturn will denude him of :his power among the: nations. • Hewill lose his royal spouse (the moon in opposi- tion to Uranus retrograde) sud- denly. Where Territory Goes. • "it is not impr•ohable `°'that his territory will pass into the hands of France and Russia. Those, at least, are the two pewee's 'who will contend for the possessroa of the empire which the Kaiser is power- less _to retain. Nothing more ad- verse or less royal than bis, horo- scope of the Kaiser, except perhaps that of the Sultan of Turkey, is to .be found among the rulers of Eu- rope: The Kaiser will die sudden- ly, and aim 'heart will be the :seat of the fatal affection. 'This horoscope. is introduced bo illustrate the rules in regardhito the questionof wealth and possessions. Before the year 1315 it is pr.obalble Germany will in part have passed into the hands 'of its eneanies," End in November?

Throw -Projectiles Weighing a Ton Nearly 12 Miles. THREE ATTACKS ON RHEIMS Gei•nians Hijrled Back at Each Effort to Break Allies Centre -A despatch from Paris says; Sheer exhaustion and frightful, loss - ea nava checked 'assaults and conn ':bpi assaults all•ialong the battle line' from north of Noyon to Main. The aumies4ea . Germany and the allies after incessant fighting for six days and nights are seeking rest and re- pairing losses. Whatever !advantage has been gained along the Aisne rests with the .allies, but Use sncoemwes have ben indecisive and the Germans are •dos-ssing again for a. stronger attack than ever against the French centre. " On the westb of the battle la: • the English and French have forced the army of von Kluk to give way in place's, The German centre, now very powerful, was thsowu back three times in i.ts 'attempt to recap- ture Rheims and break the French centre. On the east of the main line of battle,, etb Montfaucon, the 'Ger- mansare standing rigidly.: Every fragment of mews from the front makes. it p•osibive that the al- lies are deicing a more difficult Sanaa tion • than that which 'existed along the Marne. The Germans have been heavily reinforced. They are strongly entrenched .along• a- vast Germany's inferiority in. regard to naval- armareett will be even more marked in a few weeks—when the 15 -inch gunmakes its appear- ance on two new British super- dreadnoughts—than it is at present. 1Ve already have • an duty in the North Sea (points out Archibald Hurd, in the London Daily Tele- graph) thirteen ships mounting a gun --the 3.5 -inch weapon—which is still without its equal in any of the navies of the world. In, October next two,.ships--'the Queen Eliza- beth and the Warspite—are.' due'for delivery. They mount an even more deadly w-eaipon-'the new 15- inch. gun. The First Lord of the Admiralty recently gave the nation the Ad- mir'alty's views of the triumphs of the British naval ordnance authori- ties. Speaking ofthe efficiency .of the new gun over the 13.5.. -inch wea- pon, he said: • When the first of these guns was tried, it yielded ballistic results which vindicated', with what is to the lay mind marvellous exactitude; the minutest calculations. of the de- signer. It is 'the best gun' we have ever had; it reproduces all the vii toes of the 13.5 -inch •gun on a larger seals, and it is the 'most ac- curatte.gun'at obi ranges that we have ever had, As it is never pressed to its fell' compass -by ex- plosive diechaa'ge, it will be an ex- ceptionally long-lived gun. Its power may be measured by th.a fact that, whereas the 13.5-inoh gun hurls .a 1,400 -pound projectile,', a 45 -kith ' gun discharges a projec- tile of nearly a ton in weight, and can hurl the immense mass of metal ten or -twelve miles. 'Dalt is to say, there has been an increase. sof rather more than 30 per cent. -I am pur- posely vague on: this; point -in 'the weight o•f'bbe projectile for an addi- tion of 114, inches totie calibre This increase in the 'ca'pacity of 611e- shell produces results in fax greater propontlen in its explosive power, and- .the' high ecplos.ive. e'harge >which the 15 -inch gun can carry through .and get inside the thickest armor afloat rs.oery nearly half as large again in. the 1:5 -inch gun' as was the. •oh'asge in the 13.5 - inch, It is interesting to recall that nen van..• ak:n.,11r1 1;neh battle line.

Each Time. Hurled Back. The most impressive reports of the six days' battle are that it is, a combat of artillery. Day and night thousands of German cannon ham- mered' at the, ,allied armies, while every gun that.the French and Eng- glish could .bring to bear was di- rected toward .attempting to .sirens these destructive guns. In dulls of artillery fighting the allies assaulted the German positions, and were able here and there to gain ground. The fighting at Rheims between infantry and cavalry followed three days golf incessant •artillery dueling. • The Germans, 'believing ' they cauld break the French centre by a coun- ter assault, essayed and were each time Burled beck. any lieutenant went forward." The officers above lieutenants were rarely mentioned, for the men did not come sauoh in contact with them. It has been claimed by many his- torians that such • valiant soldiers as Henry IV. and Frederick: the 'Great were trembling' duping battles. A PRETTY GREASY MENU.
