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,"

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.

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

Germans, 'believing ' they cauld
break the French centre by a coun-
ter assault, essayed and were each
time Burled beck.

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.
