the constitution gives the authority
to build one or more elevators in Min.

UNITED STATES TRADE
HURT BY THE WAR.

Disorder in Europe reacted prompt
ly and severely upon the United

Trade was so completely Frustrated
that efforts were. made early I'M ALL
gust to relieve the embargo on ex
port cargOes by schemes of Way in
surance and by legislation passed IN
August II bringing under the Ameri-
can nag vessels owned by Americans
but built abroad. On August 3 presi.
dent Wilson appealed to the Ameri-
can people to he calm and preserve
a careful neutrality. On September
3 he proclaimed a day Of prayer for
Deace, which was observed on Octo-
Der A.
On September Is the Presidea. re.
ceived a delegation of Belgians who
came to protest against German atroc-
tiles. TO these and later protests
from different parties to the conflict,
President Wilson gave a careful, no1-
committal answer, following his con
sistent policy of holding this country
aloOf for it's greater usefulness as a
trusted and friendly mediator at some
later time. .g ,
Official aid was given to the various
Red Cross and relief organizations
which this country was quick to send
to Europe, and a Christmas ship was
sent bearing gifts to the children OF
the belligerent nations.
The shock received by American in
dustries was one from which they
recovered slowly. The business in
securities, the cotton industry, and
the railroads were among the more
direct sufferers. The New York Stock
Exchange followed the example of the
European stock exchanges, and closed
on July 81, on account of the total
generalization of the stock markets
of the world. \
Acute Financial Condition.
Financial conditions were rendered
acute by the subsequent declarations
Of moratoria by the belligerent ma.
tions and the complete breaking down
of International credits. Relief meas

bankers co-operated, with signal sue

assist in credit arrangements with
England. The other pool was ar.
ranged to take care of New York city

fit of the cotton planters of the South,

LIVES LOST IN SEVERAL
A~rr DISASTERS At SEA

Catastrophes due to natural causes
were, on the whole somewhat less
frequent in 1914 than in the years i'm.
mediately preceding. Several serious
disasters at sea occurred, beginning
with the sinking of the Monroe of the
Old Dominion Line, after a collision
off Hog Island, with the Nantucket,
on January 80. In May l the Colum.
bia was burned at sea.
One of the worst disasters of the
year was the sinking of the Canadian
Pacific liner Empress of Ireland in
the st. Lawrence River Oh Nav 20.
She collided with the Storstad, of the
Dominion Coal Company, and sank in
fourteen minutes, carrying down near.

REPUBLICANS MAKE
-. GAINS IN ELECTIONS

In politics the year was marked by
a close contest for control of the next
Congress between the present Admin
~istratio1 and the Republican opposi.
ton. The election or November 3
cut down the Democratic majority in
the House to fifteen, which gave a
working plurality of twenty-nine over
its combined opponents. Democratic
control of the Senate was retained.
A Republican landslide in several OF
the Eastern and Northwestern states
with the return of Progressives to the
Republican fold, was responsible for
Democratic losses. The total Pro
gressive vote cast in the United
States in the November election is es.
ltimated at 1900, 600. r'Fs q

LEADING NATIONS IN
EUROPE DECLARE WAR.
Early in July the attention Of the
world was drawn from the two points
at which serious armed conflicts
seemed imminent, the Mexican from
tier and the province of Ulster in Ire
land, which was seething with revolt
over the prospect of having Home
Rule forced upon it, and focused up
on Servia. The assassination, on
June %, of the Archduke Ferdinand
of Austria, under circumstances which
gave rise to charges in the dual, mon
a:chy that he was the victim of Ser
Wan intrigue, led to an ultimatum
from Austria On July 70. Servia's re-
ply, in the nature of a compromise,
was not accepted by Austria, and
Russia's efforts to secure a reprieve
for her Slavic protege, Servia, were
unavailing. Preparations for general
war followed on all sides, aad, on
August, I, Germany declared war
against Russia, and the French cab
met ordered a general mobilization.
Events then moved rapidly. Ger
man forces entered Luxembourg on
August 2. and on the same day de-
manded from Belgium free passage
for her troops, and was refused. On
the second day following, England
sent an ultimatum to Germany, de-.
handing an observance of Eelgium's
neutrality. Germany rejected it and
attacked niege. On August 5 Eng.
land announced that a state of var
existed with Germany. On the 9TH the
Germans entered Liege and the
French moved into southern .Alsace.
The United States, in the mean.
time, had taken cognizance of these
events by issuing a proclamation of
neutrality. on August 4. and tender.
ing, the next day, through President
Wilson, its good offices as mediator
to the belligerents. Italy, the third
member Of the Triple Alliance, which
mad held or from Austria's and Ger
many's quarrel, reaffirmed her neu-
trality on August 8.
Japan Joins in the War.
The Far Eastern aspect of the i'm
pending struggle came in tor atte1-
ton on August Is, when Japan sent
an ultimatum to Germany. demanding
the REIMBURSEMENT of Tsi1g.tau, the
German stronghold IN China. The
Japanese began their blockade of this
port on August 81, and promptly be-
gan an attack from the land side.
On November Tsing.tau capitulated
and the Japanese souadro1s were left
free to aid the British in clearing
German cruisers from the Pacific,
