ENCKE’S COMET IS
HERALDED AS GREAT
FACTOR IN THE WAR
THE COMET
Here is what the famous En
cke comet means to the United
States, its President, to the Kais
er, the Allies and the world war,
according to astrological charts.
End of the war by May or June
if not, a continuation of the war
until 192G.
If the latter, much suffering
and disaster to this country after
July 1, 1918.
Death or complete insanity for
the Kaiser in a few months.
Serious ill health, which should
be guarded against, of President
Wilson in a few months.
Revolutionary and financial dis
turbances for England, France
and Russia in a few months.
And a possibility of German
submarine attack on Mew York
City.
Astrologers also call attention
(without any explanation) to the
coincidence of the comet's appear
ance in 1918, when a reversal of
these numbers will give the year
in which it was discovered—1819.
Encke’s comet, which heralded the
i great European war in 1914, again
appearing in the solar system, her
alds the end of the war and world
peace.
Peace will be declared by May or(
June of this year, and this will bej
brought about by the death of tboj
Kaiser or his insanity, and a rising of
the German people.
These arc only two of the many
things that Professor Postel, of Zan-i
cig’s studio in New York City, reads j
from the heavens and his astrological
charts with the reappearance of the;
famous Encke comet.
Professor Postel is one of the as
trologer who predicted the European
war in the latter part of 1913, and al
so predicted the death of the late Em
peror Franz Josef of Austria. He is
the first man in thirty years to be
presented a gold medal by the British
Academy of Mental Sciences for his •
research work in astrology.
Kaiser’s End Is Near
“The stars read,” said Professor!
Postel, “that a great disaster is to be
fall the German ruler in a very short
time. This is either a sudden, quick
death or complete insanity.
“Encke’s comet is in opposition to
his Mercury, meaning insanity, and to
his sun, meaning danger from ill
health. This latter may be taken to;
include assassination.
“Jupiter is now in the house of Ge
mini, this house being our country’s
astrological house, and Jupiter, a pro
pitious star, may be taken to mean
that around May or June is the best
time, according to the stars, for a
world peace. Immediate peace is im
possible because the present signs for
France are not propitious. It looks
as though poor old France is in deep;
trouble, which will clear by May or
June, when all the Allies’ fortunes
will be at the best.
“But peace had better be declared*
before July 1 of this year, because ont
that date Jupiter, America’s guiding;
star, leaves the house of Gemini,'
which is America, and leaves this
country unprotected. Some astrolo-j
gers claim that if peace is not here
by that date the war will last until
1926. If such is the case, the con-|
flict will be carried on probably by a
representative of the war party in
Germany or the crown prince, and the
rising of the German people will not
take place.
Wilson Should Guard Health
“The comet crossing the ruling}
house of President Wilson means that,
he should guard himself very care
fully from ill health. i
“Another important astrological
sign is that of Encke's comet crossing
the house of Cancer, which rules New
York City; it is a bad sign. It means
that New York is in great danger
from floods and waters and possible
naval attack.
“Regarding the naval warfare, Ger-i
many is going to suffer, say the stars
and the combination of these two may
mean that a German submarine at
tack on New York might come about
with disastrous results to both New
York and the German submarines.
“So you see Encke's comet is not a
mere ‘natural phenomenon' but has a(
sinister significance to some and is a
good omen for others.
“From ancient times comets and the
stars have been taken seriously, and
many a religious truth and economic
truth is told in a myth or proverb.
“People are foolish to laugh at
things of which they are ignorant.
History justifies astrology."
Professor PostePs predictions con
cerning matters of the nations, and of
rulers during the past fifteen years,
have, in most instances, come to pass.
He is one of the few astrologers who
have received official recognition in
this science in America and Europe.

ELDERLY MEN
URGED TO BE
HOME GUARDS!

-i
1
Men between 35 and 50 years o« (
age must join the Seward Military i
Unit to take the places made vacant
by the younger men who enlist or are
drafted to go into the United States
war service. This W’as the keynote of
the address made last night at the
Empress by J. J. Campbell. The
speaker stated that all classes of men;
should now attend the special instruc-j
tion drills of the home guards, which j
are held every Wednesday night, andj
then they will be able to enter the]
ranks of the guards and secure the]
regular tactics drill. Mr. Campbell
said that next spring and next sum-]
mer would see the young men of the
city going away to th^ war service
and the duties of the home guards
would then fall upon the shoulders of
the elderly business and professional
men.
Mr. Campbell made a most inter
esting short talk.
