BREEN. TAT**- rumors of war, suffra 1/11 gette 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 celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the accession of Emperor William and thfc wedding of Princess Victoria Louise of -Prussia and Prince Ernst August of Cumberland. For months the fight, or, rather, series of fights, between 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 1 London. Roumania Invaded Bulgaria, and then the allies, like Kilkenny cats, began to mix it up among themselves. Turkey viewed with ill concealed glee the fine old row that start ed among her former foes. All during j the war with the allies Turkey Insisted that she be permitted to hold Adrianople. Finally, when the allies ceased quarreling among themselves, Turkey gained her point and was awarded Adrianople. While as yet no final adjudication of the boundary lines has been signed, there has for months been a cessation 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 af commons passed the home rule bill for Ireland. This result was attended by joyous outbursts in the south of ;he country and hostile demonstrations jri the north. Some days later the British house of lords rejected the bill by a vote of 326 to 61). This result bad been looked for. but it was said that eventually Ireland would get home rule. Early in February were started the events in Mexico which have caused more than their share of woe in the troubled republic and which threaten ts of Yea r .. , i m < * v v. v >?r? r+. t ] * -* 7.;' ' "j k ?N Ifl I .1 _ 3|S v-4^ *-> ' *|jj!^ ^tjf^m:W^|1B^ n.

A band of revolutionists, beaded by Colonel Felix Diaz, | besieged President Francisco I. Ma1 deru in his palace, and in a battle which ensued General Bernardo Reyea was killed. A few days later the Mexican revolutionists and government forces bombarded each other's positions with heavy artillery. The revolution gained fresh adherents, apd when the government troops revolted Madero agreed to resign the presidency. Madoro Shot to Death. After Madero had been arrested by General Blauquet one of his officers. General Vietoriano Huerta. commander of the nationalist army, assumed the presidency Two days later Madero and his vice president. Jose Pino Suarez, were shot to death while being conveyed from the national palace to prison. Huerta and his followers at once disclaimed any participation in the assassinations. Huerta's rule was not to t peaceful long. He tried in vain to secure recognition at the bands of the United States. President Wilson refused to recognize the government that he set up. Henry Lane Wilson, ambassador to the troubled republic, was recalled and later tendered his resignation. which immediately was accepted by the president. In the month of October relations between Mexico and this country became more strained. Provisional rresiueiu auera ui aicaico assumeu the powers of dictator and dissolved congress. Fore'gn envoys in Mexico asked their governments to send warships to guard their legations. President Wilson demanded that Huerta resign and was met by a flat refusal. Vera Cruz viewed with concern the assembling of warships in her harbor. Near the border were massed thousands of United States troops. Huerta was beset by enemies in bis own land. Itebel forces won repeated victories, and "here seemed to be foundation for the report that Huerta could expect no further financial support A story to the effect that powerful English interests were helping Huerta was met by prompt denials. Apparently it was the purpose of the administration at Washington to let the rebels and low funds take care of Huerta. On Feb. 10 the world was shocked at the news of the death of Captain Rob x Abroad melon, where the peace pact between I.

Although there were several unions of royalty, the one that attracted the most attention was the marriage of Princess Louise, only daughter of the German emperor, to Prince Ernst August of Brunswick. The ceremony took place in the royal castle In Berlin and was attended in person or by representatives by all the crowned heads of Europe. Prince Ernst is a son of the pretender to the throne of Hanover, and his great-grandfather was one of the sons of King George III. of England. Other unions of royal personages were those of ex-King Manuel of Portugal to Princess Augustine Victoria of Hohenzollern and Prince Arthur of connaugnt cousin or King (ieorge or England, to the Duchess of Fife. On the 15th day of June Berlin and all the cities of Germany were in gala attire to celebrate the twenty-fifth acession to the throne of Emperor William. On Aug. 18 the eighty-third birthday of Emperor Franz Joseph was celebrated throughout Austria and Hungary. Suffragette Outrages. England faced a serious situation in the campaign waged by the militant suffragettes. Railway stations were fired, mall boxes destroyed and bombs set off In many of the public squares. Arrests were freely made, but there didn't seem to be any letup in the campaign of violence. Those who were arrested began hunger strikes in Jail and were hailed as martyrs. Mrs. Em- ( meline Pankburst was sentenced to a three years' prison term, but later was released. Then she came to the United States. For a time she was held up as i an undesirable at Ellis Island, but finally was permitted to enter. Her reception in this country wasn't as enthusiastic as she had anticipated, and she didn't stay here long. . several uiei ueain in actemptoa con- i ouests of the air.
