KING GEORGE'S REIGN. Astrologer Daoud Says It Will Be Short and Stormy. A short and stormy reign for George V. is predicted by 8. Daoud, the Wash- ington astrologer. Two years ago, It is said, Daoud foretold the death of King Edward apd. déscribed the cir cumstances accurately. Among the things which he foresées in the new king's horoscope is thay his reign will last but six and a half years. "The first five years," Daeud says. "will be among the stormiest in Bug: land's history. The Jast eighteen months, bowever, will be comparative. ly fortunate. The coming reign will be' terminated by the king's death, which will be a natural one. He will more than once be the object of ar: tempted assassination, but would he murderers will be powerless to harm him, "There will be trouble in ail the Rrit- ish possessions during the second year, especially in India, "lo the third year of his reign there will 'be a conflict between England and another European power ruled by a kinsman of King George. which will precipitate a great war, England will on her own part wage war with this Buropean country. The war will be short and decisive and will result in England's being obliged to make con- cessions which will deprive her of much of her powep.
