Illness or acci- dents to aged members of the fam- ily may alter plans that are deemed important. At this time there may be much sorrow for women who watch the progress of the war. Even victories are attended by severe sac- vifice and the seers warn again that the price for the perpetuation of liberty will not be cheap. Through | tribulation a new order of human progress is gaining headway. agreements may be most disturbing ployers or Government officials Despite apparent heavy losses of manpower though war service great results in production are indicated. The seers predict amazing success in manufacturing and distributing Travel will be general in the United States as thousands seek rest from intensive war work. Money will cir- culate freely. War restrictions will be only ability forts. NATIONAL ISSUES: As | icans accept their part in the war with courage and cheerfulness there may be a carelessness regarding cer- tain formalities, a lack of expression of the true patriotism that inspire: civilians cf every class . In the s | ond World War there has been little flourish of trumpets and beating of drums in city streets son there will be agitation for some of the pomp and ceremony attend- ing army movements but the seers declare that th will be due reason {by and by for great demonstrations since victory is to be attained INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Mars culminating at Tokyo gives | warning to the Japanese who will | have serious troubles because of the | dissatisfaction of the civilian popu- | lation. As army officers and naval | commanders lose face the military ipanly will exercise powers that re- duce the people to misery in many ferms. China is to benefit at this time if the influence of Jupiter cul- minating at Nanking is rightly in- terpreted. It is emphasized that although this year will decide the result of the war, the trend toward victory for the Allied Nations is more probable than an early defeat of the Axis powers. Persons whose birthdate it is may have many perplexities in the com- ing year. They should guard against deception and should avoid risks of every sort. Children born on this day prob- ably will have many ups and downs through life. They may be extremely artistic and keenly intellectual and yet may lack practical ideas.
