"HE chief events of 1912 abroad
We're the Balkan war, the per-
manent establishment of the
Chinese republic, the an
nouncement Of the discovery of the
south pole, the death of the miEado of
Japan. the snutfing out of uprisings in
Mexico, Cuba and Nicaragua, the as
sassination of Premier Canalejas of
Spain, the Olympic games at Stock

British parliament
1t certainly was a disastrous year for
Turkey. In closing the war with Italy
she was forced to give up Tripoli, the
last of her African provinces She
had an earthquake that destroyed 5000
lives, a cholera epidemic. a near revo-
tuition and a war with the Balkan allies
that has cost her nearly all Of her
provinces in Europe. She has had
nearly everything the matter with her
except mumps and housemalds knee.
Her harelns have fed to Asia Minor.
and her soldiers have fled wherever
the fleeing was good. She declared war
on Oct. II and only regained conscious
ness in time to talk peace With her
conquerorS.
Shortest War on Record.
In Europe 1t is known as the thirty
days" war, the shortest on record.
Every one Of the allies won impor-
tant victories, and won them In such
rapid succession that the world looked
on amazed. The reputation of the
Turkish army crumbled overnight
The first clash occurred on Oct 4, and
four days later little Montenegro de-
clared war, capturing Detchitch noun
tain and investing Scutari. The Bull
garianS smashed the Turks in a dis
astrous defeat at Kirk kilise, be-
sieged Adrianople and invested the
last line of Turkish defense before
Constantinople. The Servian army
drove all before it and participated in
the capture Of Monastir and other
stronghoids. The Greeks won success
sion of victories and took the historic
city of Saloniki. 1t was at about this
time that Turkey recovered conscious
ness and asked for an armistice. The
meeting for peace negotiations was
held in London.
The insistence of Servia on an Adri-
attic port as a result of her victories
aroused opposition in Austria, and for
time there was widespread fear Of
a general European war, which had
not entirely disappeared at the end Of
the year.

REAL ESTATE MARKET
HAS BEEN VERY BUSY
BODYBUILDING Has Rapidly
Increased; Many Sales Have
Been Made.

The weather man has continued the
last week to smile on the local rea
estate situation and dealers through
out the city and vicinity are optimis
tic. The numerous homcsite subdivi
sions have been the scenes of great ac
tivities, and the sales that have beer
recorded during the week have been
very large.
Marlborough place, the new subdi
vision of the Hoffman Brothers com
pany, is to be placed on the market to-
morrow, and already the company re-
ports that a large number of pros
pective purchasers of homesites are
on the appointment list to be shown
the new residence district.
The home building spirit seems to
have pervaded every part Of the city
and the salaried people are beginning
to realize that owning the home is the
wisest plan Of any way possible. Nu-
merous companies are carrying loans
for people building homes, and in this
way, all salaried people may own the
homes and pay for them monthly as
they pay rents.
Business in farm lands has been
large and small truck farms near the
city have found ready sale. A trip
through the outskirts of Salt Lake City
would convince anyone of the pleasure
and monetary gain that may be had
from the truck garden.
All over the city the ring of ham.
mer and saw tells of the real activity
that is being carried on in Salt Lake
City. Everywhere neat bungalows of
various dimensions are being con.
structed and in every case these will
be entirely modern.
The difficulty in finding suitable
houses for rent still exists. This has
added much to the business OF the real
estate firms who sell homesites. Near.
" every dealer in the city has been
occupied every minute during the week
in taking prospective buyers to their
grounds and showing the advantages
Of their goods.

house built there mast be of the best
and this is having a great effect upon
tne KIND OF people WHO nave puIcnaoeu

Crowd In Tent Show.

Although presented under canvas at
Fourth and Center streets, the show
given by the Alabama Minstrels, ne.
gro organization, is one which would
do credit to many Of the travelling the
atrical companies. Tonight the last
performance is scheduled. There was
a large audience out last night aud it
is expected the audience this evening
will be even larger. The company is
composed entirely of colored people
and among them are some clever come
dians and dancers. Edwards performed
some daring feats on the slack wire
and smoking act by Watts, a big
man who is extremely funny, was
greatly appreciated. Hunt, fire
eater and contortionlst, was one Of the
headliners on the bill, Best of all,
however, was the excellence of the old

old fashioned show is seldom seen. but
