national election. The world has been
thrilled by tales of horror from devastat-
ing forest fires. and death has claimed
many illustrious men. The year will be

three separate armies are marching upon
the capital of the Flowery Kingdom. The
Chinese empire. if not fallen. is humbled
and has already taken initiatory steps TO
sue for peace. Continental Europe hes
been at peace. and Russia mouras the
death of her Gar.
