PROPHET OF EVIL.

NEXT EUROPEAN WAR. WHAT LUDENDORFF FORESEES. LONDON, June 4. " The Dominions will not help Britain in the next world war, but will deseit the Empiro, Canada joining tho United States, although Ireland will remain united with Britain for the duration of the war, at the Pope's express wish." Such is the prophecy made by FieldMarshal Ludendorff in "The Coming War," published by Faber and Faber, which visualises an outbreak of hostilities in May, 1932, unheralded by any formal declaration of Avar. Tho rivals for supremacy, as portrayed, are tho Pope, the Soviet and tho Fascists against Freemasonry, directed by I' ranee, Europe being split into battlefields by these super-national Powers and aerial warfare devastating entire nations. " Germany, rendered impotent by tho Versailles Treaty, will bo the principal cockpit of war," says the writer, " tho horrors of tho campaign transcending those of the Thirty Years' War, when cannibalism was practised." Eventually, according to this prophecy, Western civilisation crashes into economic ruin, Asia and Africa profiting by the destruction of Europe. Ludendorff's contention is that, in order to avoid this holocaust, tho British Empire should ally itself, in defiance of Franco, with the Roman Fascist group which would welcomo it with open arms.
