e end of the year our relations with3
tat country came near the breaking
int. Matters beeptne so threatening
tat troops and marines were dis-.
thed to the bdrder line. A great
let of American warships assembled
.n Mexican waters, and the border

Following the assassination of Fran

umption of the presidency by General

cared? that this country never would

which was characterized as a rule of

The great floods of the middle wes
which occurred in-'March aroused th
sympathy, of the country forf the suf
ferers. Fort weeks- -great sectIons- o
this'eountry' were under Water. ,Eti

~the relief movement i t was. lmpos
sible for days to g'et any anthenfi

eraggerated stories of loss of life were
irculated. For days -entire communi

Two of the social events of the yea.

A..rumors of war, suffra
Wgette outrages, assassina
tions, aviation fatalities and
the deaths of Captain Scott
and .four of .his antarctic explorers
made up the burden of. the dismal*
news from abroad in the year that is
at an- end. Among the more cheerful
tidings were the celdbration of the
twezty-tifth anniversary of -the acces
sion of Emperor William and the wed
ding of Princess Victoria Louise of
Prussia and Prince Ernst. August of
Cumnberland.
For months: the fight. or, rather, se
ries- of fightsu betwveen the allies and
Turkey. occupied the attention of all
Europe. and- for a time it was feared
that some -of the great powers .would
become -Involved. After they had'
soundly .trounced Turkey the allies fell
to quarreling among themselves. Fol
lowing the signing of a peace pact in
London. Roumania Invaded Bulgaria.
and then the allies, -like Kilkenny
cats, began to mix It up among them
selves. Turkey viewed with IHl con
cealed g'ee the fine old row that start
ed among her former foes. All during
the war with the allies Turkey insist
ed that she be permitted to hold
Adrianople. Finally, when the allies
ceased quarreling among themselves,
ITurkey gained her point and was
awarded Adrianople. While as yet no
final adjudication of the bonndary.lines
has been signed, there has for months
-been--a c'essation of hostilities, and the
powers have breathed easier. At one
time the peace of entire Europe was
threatened. by the pugnacious smaller
countries.
Early in the year the British house
of commons passed the home rule bill
for Ireland. This result was attended
by joyous outbursts in the south of
the country and hostile demonstrations
In the north. Some days later the
