GERMANY IN PERIL.
"France has nothing to fear from
the direct attack of her neighbors
during the years 1913 and 1914.
Prudence will be n.ecessary during
the year 1915. France represents
the positire pole of humanity.
Everything turns toward her. This
is why she has so many men of geni-
us. The years 1912, 1913 and 1914
will • be good for Germany. After
these years the imperial family will
be in danger. The Empire, how-
ever, will continue to 'grow until
about the middle of the twentieth
century. But in the beginning of the
twenty-first century the German
Empire will be sina,shecl by a Fran-
co -China -American allianee. The
political attitude of Russia this
year will cause much uneasiness.
It will be vacillating. A plot men-
aces the Czar for 1915. A great
Empress will be Czarina of all the
Russians in the course of this cen-
tury. In 1888 Great Britain reach-
ed the zenith of her power. The
years 1913, 1914 and. 1915 will be fav-
orable, and tension with foreign
powers will cease. England will
live about 600 years more. Italy
will not have a favorable year in
She whole century. No war will
profit her. Turkey will be vietori-
elle in August and September, and
after that she will be in serious
danger. Japan has an era of glory
and .prosperity atead of her. This
will continue for 28 years, after
which there will be a war, a revolu-
tion and a change of dynasty."
LONDON CITY OF LOST WOMEN
Over 1,000 Young Girls Missing in
Twelve Months.
London, England, is fast a,cquir-
ing the reputation of being the city
of lost women. Amazing statistics
in regard to the latter have- just
been published by the Horne Office,
but while these statistics are mea-
surably Modified by the number of
lost women successfully traced by
She police, certain papers maintain
that the statistics lack detail as
they do not furnish data concern-
ing the missing one's. Such as
nationality, circumstances of life,
etc., or reveal in what circum-
stances those "traced" were found,
by which projects of law might be
drawn, if necessary, in order to
suppress the evil. But, be that as
it may, here is the note issued by
the Home Office on the subject:
"During the last twelve months
1,118 girls, between the ages of ten
and sixteen, were 'reported to the
Metropolitan Police as missing. Of
these 1,102 were traced.
"Two thousand six hundred and
seventy-six women of all ages above

and 2;540 of them were trued.

A NEW DOCK FOR LONDON.
Three Pumps Can Lift1.35,000,000
Gallons in an 8-Rour Day. •
The new Albert clock will be im-
mediately south of the present Al-
bert dock, and will cost about two
million pounds. The clock will have -
a water area of 66 acres, art en-
trance lock 800 feet long and an
average depth of 38 feet, and -will
be capable of • accommodating, if
necessary, several vessels as large
as the Olympic or Mauretania. One
great feature of this new dock will •
be the provision ou the south side of
seven jetties, parallel with the ex-
isting capacity of quay sides by per-
mitting of a row of lighters on each
side of the vessel.
Important extensions are also to
be made to the East India import
and export docks, the West India
docks and the London docks, which
will cost another £1,400,000. In the
autumn it is also proposed to start
the first part of a big dock exten-
sion at Tilbury, the.: will provide
an additional 2,200 feet of quay
side, and a floating landing stage
and river side wharf are also to be
provided there.
A greatly augmented fleet of
dredgers is only awaiting the close
of the strike to commence opera-
tions. The Thames is to be main-
tained at a, low-water depth, vary-
ing from 14 feet at the Tower
Bridge to 30 f eet' at the Albert

pumps have been installed. These
three pumps can lift 135,000,000 gal-
ionsin an eight-hour day, which is
almost the capacity of a river itself.
Some idea of what this means can
be grasped when it is explained
that Teddington Weir, even at sum-
mer level, passes only 200,000,000
gallons in twenty-four hours.
Blessings often come disguised,
but misfortunes are not so ciever

The woman that interests a man
most is the one who will make him

"Has his family got a skeleton in
its closet?" "I don't know about
what they've got in the closet, but
they've got one in a hobble skirt."
Hostess -"Will you have some
bread and butter, darling?" • Small
Boy -"Bread and butter I thought
this was a party!" .
