PAGE 2, Philosopher, in Strange Forecast, Heralds Coming of New Napoleon A Tf THE request of the king of England and the kaiser of Germany, made throug the czar of Russia, the late Count Leo Jolstoi four years ago made this remark able prophecy of Europe's future op HIS is a revelation of events of # universal character which must shortly come to pass. Their spiritual outlines are now before my eyes. I see floating upon the surface of human fate the huge silhoutte of a nude woman, Nations rush madly at her, each of them eager to attract her especially. But she, like an eternal courtesan, flirts with all. In her hair ornaments, of diamonds and rubies, is engraved | her name, ‘Commercialism.’ “And, behold, she has three gigantic arms with three torches of universal cor- ruption in her hands. The first torch represents the flame of war. “The second torch bears the flame of bigotry and hypocrisy, “The third torch is that of the law, that dangerous foundation of all unauthentic traditions, which first does its fatal work in the family, then sweeps through the larger world of literature, art and statesmanship. oe eee GREAT conflagration will start about 1912, set by the torch of the first arm in the countries of southeastern Europe. It will develop into a destruction and calamity in 1913. In that year I see all Europe in flames and bleeding. I hear the lamentations of huge battlefields. age figure from the north—a new.

The second torch of the courtesan has brought | about the fall of the church. The ethical idea has almost vanished. Humanity is without moral feeling. |) “But then a great reformer arises. He will clear the world of the relics of monotheism and lay the corner stone of the temple of panteism. God, soul, spirit and immortality will be molten in a new furnace, and I see the peaceful beginning of an ethical era. The man determined to this mission is a Mongolian Slav. He is already walking the earth—a man of active affairs. He himself does not now realize the mission assigned to him by Superior Powers. | 66 Leo.

By then, in the middle of this century, I see a heroine of literature and art rising from the ranks of the Latins and Persians, the world of the tedious stuff of the obvious. s “It is the light of symbolism that shall outshine the light of the torch ef commercialism.
