In November there were riots in many German cities due to the high prices of food.

In the success of this conference and of others that might grow out of it lay for the time being the hope of hu manity. Efforts to enforce the terms of the treaty of Versailles resulted in con- fiicts among some of the new nations created by that pact, and several of the older mations were involved in war Germany, working fast to recover her old position in the world mmerce, was hampered by the disastrous decline in the value of the mark, and her leaders protested con- wuaily that she could not possibly pay the war indemnity. Peace nego- tiations between the British govern- ment and Sinn Fein continued through many months, the chance for agree- ment growing slowly better. Soviet Russia, stricken by a_great famine, called for help from the nation: . has despised. and in their efforts to re-c blish relatiol with other gov- ernments the bolsheviki went ward repudiating their commun doctrines. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS The league of nations, though func: tioning without the co-operation the United States, accomplished much during the year. chiefly throusgh its councils. which met in Paris on Feb- ruary and_immediately referred ‘amendments to the covenant' nmittee. President Wilson, who during January had withdrawn the American representatives from the il of ambassadors and the rep; rations comm on February sent to the league council a strong protest against the inclusion of the Tsland of Yap in territories subjected to the mandate of Japan, and also formally demanded for America a voice in the disposal of the former German colonies. The council in re- ply said it was not concerned with the aliocation of Jap to invited the United States to take part in discussions concerning the Turkish and African mandates. A month after the -republican administration took office Secretary of State Hughes reiterated Mr. Wilson's stand con- cerning Yap and mandates in gen- eral, and later France and Italy in- dorsed America’s position in the con- troversy over the island, though Ja- pan formally refused to give up her mandate. Thereafter that dispute was the subject of long-drawn-out nego- tiations between the United States and Japan. on, Action on Germany. The council of ambassadors in| January gave Gérmany more time to disarm, appointed a commission to pass on Austria’s economic status, decided that Latvia and Esthonia should be recognized as sovereign states, and then fixed the German reparations at 226,000,000,000 gold marks, payable in annual instal- ments, and 12 per cent tax on exports during the period f payment. This! reparations decision created _con-! ternation in Germany, and Berlin at once began efforts to persuade the United States to intervene in her behalf. The Wilson auministration made no response, but on April Z Secretary Hughes informed Germany the United States would not coun tenance her escaping full responsi bility for the war or getting out of paying to the limit of her ability. A few days earlier, Berlin having failed to make the first payments, French troops occupied Duesseldorf, Duisburg and Ruhrort. The British objected strongly to this independent action and France withdrew. It would be tedious to detail the negotiations over the reparations bill. Suffice it to say that Germany, with Dr. Wirth as chaacellor, was compelled to accept the figures of 135000,000,000 gold marks finally decided on by the supreme council, made the payments due during the vear and devised plans to raise the sums due in the carly part of 1922; but beyond that, she said, she could not see her way. And since many economists agreed that to drive her into absolute bankruptcy would be disastrous to the rest of the world, toward the close of the year there was increasing talk of arranging a moratorium of two to three years for her. France was the chief objector to such delay, as she relied on the money due her from Germany, but she showed signs of yielding to the general view. Division of Upper Silesia between Germany and Poland caused & lot of trouble.” A plebiscite was held there in March, but both sides asserted it was unfair, and carly in May the region was invaded by Polish irregulars. Thinly veiled support was given them by the Warsaw government and also by the French, and there succeeded a long series of fichts between them and Geaman volunteer forces. The en- tente cordiale of the allies was near to rupture, but in June British forces entered the territory and began clear- ing out the Poles. The dispute was referred to the league council. which in October announced the boundary lines. Neither Germany nor Poland was satisfied, but both® accepted the decision. Greeks Fight Turks All through the year the Greeks fought the Turkish nationalists in Anatolia, with varying fortune. while the allled powers held aloof, though offering_ mediation, which Greece refused. In November France made a treaty with the Kemalist government which aroused protests from Great Britain and led to diplo- matic negotiations. The council of ambassadors adopt- ed boundaries for Albania which en- raged the Jugoslavs, and a large Serblan force invaded Albania in September and fought its way nearly to Tirana, the capital, before the zllies, by vigorous threats, compelled Jugoslavia, on November 18, to accept the border lines as laid out. The United States formally made peace with the central powers, the treaty with Austria being signed August 24, that with Germany August 25, and the pact with Hungary August.29. In these treaties America - reserved all that was given her by the treaty of Versailles, which the Senate had refused to ratify. President Harding on July 10 issued informal invitations to Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan to send rep. resentatives to Wi ington for a con- ference on limitation of armament and far eastern questions. Acceptance \ | which ¢h were the subject of prolonged discussions in committee. It was rec- ognized that China was the center of the far east problems. and the Ch nese delegates early presented their Pregram—recognition as an independ- ent mation. res for territorial richts. restitution of seized regions, abandonment of special foreign pmv ileges, withdrawal of foreign troops. permission to govern her own internal affairs and the open door. To much of _the delegates agreed In principle, { it was inevitable that the position of Japan should complicate the ques- tion tremendousk: Committees and expert advisers went to work on the problem, however. hopeful that a sat- isfactory agreement could be reached. Tt was evident from the first that the conference could not do much in the matter of limitation of land arma ments so long as the situation in cen- rope remained so unsettled Premier Briand was present to give e to France's needs of protection S« geression by Germany ibly by Russia. His eloquent speech so far convinced the confer- ence that the other powers gave as- surance that France would never be Teft in the “moral isolation™ which she feared _ President Harding has clung to his idea that an association of nations can bs formed which would do what the tions cannot do. and on November 25 he put forward the sug- gestion of a continuing series of con- ferences like that in hington, ult in the formation of The idea was recefved with where, except that the French de- murred at the proposed inclusion of Germany During the first six months of the vear the guerrilla warfare between the British forces in Ireland and the Irish “republicans” continued unabated. Murders by the Sinn Feiners and re- prisals by the British were of almost ily occurrence. The Irish were espe- exasperated by the execution of a number of prisoners convicted of complicity in the killing of soldiers. The appointment of Lord Talbot, lead ing British Roman Catholic, as lord lieutenant of Ireland, failed of its ef- fect. On May 25 the Sinn Feiners burned the Dublin customhouse, and on June 30 they re-elected Eamonn De Valera president of the “Irish re- publi Meanwhile the new govern- ment of northern Ireland was organ- ized, with Sir James Craig as premier. and on June 22 King George went across to open the Ulster parliament. De Valera on July 19 accepted the in- vitation of Premier Lloyd George to a conference in London, and truce was announced. Then began the series of negotiations that lasted through the remainder of thé year. Offers and counter-offers were made, and finally Britain proffered Ireland full status as a dominion within the empire, with reservatio concerning tariff and naval facilities. Charle: ex-emperor of Austria- Hungary, made two futile efforts to regain the Hungarian throne. On March 27 he appeared in Hungary without forces and claimed the crown, but Regent Horthy refused to step aside. Czechoslovakia, Jugoslavia and Rumania mobilized to frustrate the oup and the allied council of ambas- adors warned Hungary that the res- toration of the Hapsburg regime would not be tolerated. So Charles returned to his place of refuge in Switzerland. But he was not through, for on October 21 he and his wife Zita went by airplane to Hungary and rallied a considerable number of supporters, who, proclaimed Charles king. Again the “little entente” pre- pared for action, but Regent Horthy led his army out of Budapest and de- feated the Carlists in a real battle. The former emperor and empress were taken prisoners, as were a number of prominent Hungarian nobles. allies decreed that Charles must be exiled, and in November he amd Zita were taken to Funchal, Madeira. Russia’s Year of Fighting. Russia’s year was one of fighting, famine and efforts to resume rela- tions with other nations. The soviet government held its own against re- peated revolts which included risings of the workingmen of Moscow, of peasants under Antonov and an in- vasion of the Ukraine by Petlura, which for a time threatened to be successful. Failure of the crops brought a terrible famine in the Volga region. Many thousands starved to death and even the American re- lief administration, which took charge of the situation, could only partially check the disaster. In seeking to break through the ring of isolation surrounding it the Moscow govern- ment gradually receded from its com- munistic principles. It sought the aid of foreign capital, and on August 9 it abandoned state ownership of all but a few of the largest indus- tries. Treaties were made with the Baltic states and with Turkey, and tempting offers of concessions were held out to other nations. In a nota- ble pronouncement on October 21 Pre- mier Lenin admitted the economic defeat of communism. Old King Peter of Serbia died in Belgrade on August 17, and four days later his son Alexander was proclaimed King of Jugoslavia. He was -reluctant to leave Paris, how- ever, and it was not until November 6 that he went to Belgrade and as- sumed his crown. Portugal was up- set by several revolutionary move- ments toward the close of the year. On August 19 the ministry was over- thrown by a military coup and sev- eral cabinet members, including Pre- mier Granjo, were assassinated. A few days later a plot of the royalists was uncovered, and in November Carvalho Mesquita led a revolt. Be- cause of these disorders and of the spread of bolshevism the powers be- gan consideration of a plan for in- tervention. Spain had rebels also— the tribesmen of Morocco. Against them she maintained a wearying and expensive warfare for months. And while on the subject of rebellion mention must be made of the revolt of the Moplahs, on the Malabar coast of India, which caused the British overnment much annoyance and not a few lives. The chief sufferers there aside from the Moplahs them- Belves, were the non-Mohammedan natives of the region. There was unrest throughout India and the Prince of Wales was sent there.

DOMESTIC AFFAIRS. — During the early part of the year the country was preparing for the change of administration on March 4. President-elect Harding resigned as senator from Ohio on January 9, and the next day he asked that prepara- tions for an elaborate inauguration be led, feeling that it would be-in- stent with the urgent need for economy. On February 19 Mr. Hard- nounced the appointment of Hughes as his Secretary of State—a choice that met with general approval—and en succeeding days he completed his cabinet with these Secretary of the Treasury, A drew W ellon: Secretary of War, John W. ck: Harry M. Daugherty; eral, Will H. Hays Navy, Edwin Denby Intcrior, Aibert B.F Agriculture, Henry C tary of Commerce, Herbert ( Secretary of Labor, James J. Davis. Mr. Harding inaugurated on ary of the tary of the wcretary of Secre- President Wilson, despite mony, and was able to be his continued il present. The St .'in extra session, confirmed the cabinet and a number of other appointments, and adjourned on March 15 Martens, “ambassador” from soviet Russia, had been creating a lot of trouble in one way and another, so on January 22 he and his staff were de- ported. Onme of Secretary of State Hughes' early acts was to notify the Moscow governmen n reply to a re- Quest for resumption of commercial relations, that this depended on the ending of strife and the protection of persons and property in Russia. These conditions were not fulfilled during the year. On the first day of the year Gen. Crowder was sent by President Wil son to Cuba to see what could be done to restore financial and economic con ditions there, upset by the collapse of the sugar boom. He remained on the | island for a long time and succeeded in his mission to a considerable ex- tent. On April 11 telephone communi- cation between the United States and Cuba was opened by an exchange of greetings between Presidents Hard- ing and Menocal. The United States Supreme Court rendered several notable decisions. On January 31 it held that Judge Landis had no lawful right or power to pre- side over the trial of Victor Berger | and other socialists. On March 28 it ruled that profits from sale of cor- porate stocks and bonds and capital assets are taxable as income. On April 11 it refused to review the con- Victions of Haywood and seventy-nine other I. W. W. members. The convic- tion of Senator Newberry of Michigan and others for alleged violation of the corrupt practices act was set aside on May 2, the act being held void. On June 30 William Howard Taft was appointed Chief Justice and was sworn in on October 3. The unemployment situation be- came so bad during the summer that President Harding called a conference of experts on the subject. It began its sessions on September 26 and, after a long study, established a central bu- reau and started local employment movements throughout the country. The resulting relief was but partial, for business itself was suffering a weneral depression. One of the worst race riots in the history of the country broke out in Tulsa, Okla., on May 31. Before it was quelled the negro quagters of the city had been burned and thirty-five persons had been Kkilled and many wounded. Labor_troubles of long standing in West Virginia culminated in an in- surrectionary movement by miners which called forth a proclamation by the President ordering them to dis- perse. Federal troops were sent into the regicn and the miners soon sur- rendered. A commission, headed by Gen. Leon- ard Wood was sent to the Philip- pines. It reported in November, rec- ommending against immediate with- drawal of the United States from the islands. Meantime Gen. Wood was offered and accepted the post of gov- ernor general. The American Legion, in session at Kansas City, elected Lieut. Col. Han- tord MacNider of lowa its national commander on November 1. The legion had as guests Marshal Foch of France, Gen. Diaz of Italy, Admiral Beatty of England and other distin- guished warriors. These same visit- ors and many other eminent persons participated, on Armistice day, No- vember 11, in the ceremony of the burial of America’s unknawn soldier in the national cemetery at Ar- lington. On June 8 John T. Adams of Iowa was elected chairman of the repub- lican national committee, and on No- vember 1 Cordell Hull of Tennessee was made chairman of the demo- cratic national committee. The ex- ecutive committee of the prohibi- tion party met in Chicago in No- vember and decided the party should continue in existence and nominate a national ticket. = Under the budget law which was passed in May, Gen. Charles G. Dawes was appointed director general of the LABOR AND INDUSTRIAL. Two strong tendencies in the world of labor marked the in the United States. One was toward a re- duction of w s, as a part of the “return to normalcy,” and the, other was toward the establishment of the open shop. Naturally both were con- tested by organized labor, not wholly Bucces . The railway executives took the lead in both movements, but had many followe: In January the national confere: of state manu- facturers’ associations pledged sup- port for the open shop movement. On the last day of that month the rail- ked that the na working agreements be ab the railroad brotherhoods ap- ed to President Wilson to pre year interfer Lubor Bo agreement ated o 1 and a wage cut TagIing cent was put into effect. The ways later announced they would further age cuts, 'he membership of the brotherhoods decided by vote that a rike should be called on Oc- tober but nine allicd unions r fused to suppoirt such a stri on announcement by the that it would not consider w ut r quests until all working rule que: tions had been decided the strike or- der was anceled. On Dec the board reconstituted the working rules so that the open shop principle was recognized. long exis building industr; trict was nomi and Judge Land of the wage s and working Nearly three months later he handed d()\&"v, his decision, reducing wages 10 to 36 per cent and establishing new rules and conditions. The carpenters had refused to be parties to the tration and open shop condition their craft resulted. Slowly but & 1y the other involved brought to ¢ nce with awards. In the packing industry a wage reduction in strike was narrowly ave p tember the large packing plants in- stalled the shop representation tem and in November, under this plan, the employes consented to a further reduction of 10 per cent. cutters repudiated this strike on December There were many minor strikes, most of them short lived Samuel Gompers was re-elected of the American Federation of Labor, which held its convention in Denver in June. Great Britain's coal miners went on strike on March 1 and for nearly four months the nation's industries were near collapse. The rail and transport workers refused to go out and the government would not yield to the demands that the mines be national- ized, so the miners returned to work on June 28 without having gained wmuch. the the working of rail- ing lockout in th of the Chicago dis 1y ended on June 10 there w March and a ted. In ‘The meat and called a SPORTS. It was a great year for sports. In all lines there was activity and pros- perity, and international contests Were numerous. Organized base ball, which had suf- fered from the White Sox scandal, re- habilitated itself by the appointment of Judge Landis as supreme arbiter. The New York Giants and the New ork Yankees won the federal budget, and he and his aids made notable progress in the way of cutting down the expenses of the ‘government. Two ‘State governors had trouble. On October 29 Gov. Frazier of North Dakota was ousted in a recall elec- tion, and on July 20 Gov. Small of Illinois was indicted on charges of fraud and embezzlement of state funds. NATIONAL LEGISLATION Not a great deal of legislation was passed by the republican Congress during the last two months of Presi- dent Wilson's administration. The President vetoed the bill to revive the War Finance Corporation on January 2, and Congress promptly repassed it. On January 12, $7,100,000 was appro- priated for énforcement of prohibi- tion. The House decided, on January 19, that its membership should not be increased. After much debate Con- gress set the limit of the Regular Army, et 175,000 men. Mr, Wilson N\ .
