War Predictions through Mrs. Chnwweth. 337
I tried to tell you of this war in the earlier days when here in
company with some of your compatriots but succeeded only in
picturing assassination [read ' association ' doubtfully] assassination
which I was unable to name. You will recall.
(I recall the prediction of the assassination of the present King
of England and also the former King, but I do not personally recall
just now any other predicted assassination.)
[P. F. R.]
(Stick to it.)
Yes I did not name the King in my picture. I have no love for
the present C Z a r but he will do as much to serve my people as
George [distress and groans. Shook her head violently and uttered
some exclamation of distress that I did not catch.] [9]

the Archduke Ferdinand, I had no clue to its interpretation when the event
came. The statement. here is mainly interesting for its spontaneousness.
Mrs. Chenoweth had no normal clues to the existence of the prediction or
its meaning and hence the present explanation has interest.
There was some fear that Russia might not keep her treaty of alliance
long with France and this fear was more or less justified by events. How
much Mrs. Chenoweth may have known of the situation no one knows. But
she certainly knew little of the situation to understand it so clearly as it
seems, tho I cannot assure myself or any one else that she could not ltave

Germany but plenty for France" would have required rather intimate knowl-
