Woman’s Amazing Prophecies

J3ROPHETS, seers, astrologers, abound in the restless, uncertain atmosphere of the contemporary world. Who would not be anxious to know what the future holds in store Yet among those who have tried to forecast the events of the last few months, there is perhaps only one who has been able to keep step with the breath - taking, rapid and surprising march of events. Boriska Silbiger, famous fortune-teller and seer of Budapest, whose forecasts of previous years have come true in an amazing degree, declared in November, 1939, in an interview printed in numerous newspapers:— “1939 will be the year of great political events. It will be a decisive year for the fate of many countries, whether they will be involved in the new World War or not. War is bound to break out in 1939. “Preceding the war. a great accident will befall one country. It will be a disaster of such dimensions that the

country in question will be an object of universal compassion. There will be an earthquake.” Part of this has, of course, come true. The earthquake was in Chile in January, 1939. “Italy will unexpectedly enter upon a bold and daring enterprise, and will start harping upon a new theme.” “Armaments and the strengthening of the country’s defence will continue at high pressure in ’"’ngland. This country, calm and safe in her strength, will show the world a powerful united front. However, she will get into lengthy disputes and conflict with another country. In 1940, England's part will be that of a just and impartial referee in the fight

International Predictions

of other countries. Czechoslovakia will again have troubles. They will be settled within an unexpectedly short time.” Although the seer of Budapest was not able to predict in what way Czechoslovakia’s troubles would be “settled,” there is no denying that the conflict that arose with the trends for the independence of Slovakia has indeed been solved within a fantastically short time by Hitler’s annexation of erstwhile Czechoslovakia. “February will be a very important month politically,” Miss Silbiger continued in her prophecy, “and the events which will ultimately result in a world war will have come to a head in the first quarter of the year. Illness is in store for one of Europe’s dictators in January. It will not be grave, and he will soon recover.” “The same thing will again happen to this dictator in the course of the summer. July 22 and 23 are fatal days in his life.” “Before the new world war breaks out, either the Spanish civil war, or the SinoJapanese conflict—probably both—will be over.” This certainly applies to the Spanish civil war; it is over now. Present Outlook. Since most of her predictions have come so astoundingly true, it is of absorbing interest to know what Miss Silbiger predicts at the present critical moment. Alas, the outlook, according to her, is very grim. We may look out for exciting events. “A rapid change will take place in the British Government. Several of its members will resign, others take their tacked from all sides, but at a much places. Mr. Chamberlain will be atlater date it will be proved that he has been right, at least in one thing. In May or June America will throw herself into the European breach with a violent gesture. The United States will start a very serious action, which will assure a most important role for the U.S.A. in foreign politics in the late autumn of 1940. “In the course of this year, two important politicians, heads of two States, will die in a tragic manner. In one case, death will be reported previously, before it actually happens, but only the second report will be true. England's Interests. “In spite of great changes and ajitating events in foreign and internal politics, England will fine' time to be interested in other things, too. “A great achievement in the field of sport will thrill all England. An English society woman—possibly an artist—will arouse the attention of the whole world. “A tremendous scandal connected with espionage will shake all Soviet Russia. “British supremacy will win through in the end, after much uncertainty. England ought to be careful with one of her allies, for an unpleasant surprise is in store for her from that quarter. Germany also will be disappointed in one allied country, but there are signs that she is air- reckoning with that possibility. “War is absolutely inevitable. If the statesmen knew how muc'.i more propitious circymstances will be in 1940, they would do'everything in their power to postpone decisions until then, but it is scarcely possible to put obstacles in the way of Fate. 1939 will also bring the death of a crowned sovereign. One of the dictators would do well to beware
