up on June 16 with definite threat of
attack unless the troops were with
drawn northward. The following day
re-enforcements were rushed to the

commission to settle the dispute be-
tween the two countries. July %,

posal.

leo in 40 days. conditional upon the
Carranza government showing within
that time that it could protect the bor-
der and prevent raids by bandits upon
American territory.
Two days before the signing of this
protocol, Villa, at the head of a strong
force. attacked Chihuahua City and af-
ter battle lasting several days he

neople of the United States through
ont the year 1916. June s.. the Wom-
ans party was originated and opened
its first convention in Chicago. Two
DAYS later both the Republican and
Progressive national conventions open

dent Theodore Roosevelt was nomi-
mated for president by the Progressives
and Charles Evans Hughes, associate
Justice of the United States Supreme
court and former governor of New
York, was nominated by the Rerubli-
cans. The Republicans nominated
Charles w. Fairbanks of Indiana for
vice president and the ProgresSives

ing the fighting.
November %, Judge Hook of the
United States district court at Kansas

law unconstitutional and an agreement
was reached between the representa-
tives of the government and of the rail-
roads for an appeal to the United
States Supreme court in an effort to
obtain a final decision on the validity
Of the law as soon as possible.
The year was one of great prosperity
in all manufacturing and agricultural
industries. Foreign trade of the Uni
ted States, as shown by reports of the
department of commerce, reached
total of $7,463, 100000 in the year end
ing November l, an increase of 81, 5OO,-

The total wheat yield of the United
States in 1916 was only 547O00.0O0
bushels, as compared with 1,O11 100000
bushels in 1915 and at the same time
there was almost proportionate fall
ing off in all other grain crops. While
the crops decreased enormously in
quantity, they also increased enor-
mousIy in price. The value of 10 staple

dorsed the candidacy of Mr.. Hughes.
The election on November was
one Of the most unusual ever held in
the United States. the result not being
definitely known until three days af-
ter the election, when the final count in
California gave the 13 electoral votes
of that state to President Wilson and
gave him victory. President Wilson
won 276 votes in the electoral college
and Mr.. Hughes 255. The vote cast in
the election was larger by several mil
lion than any ever cast before in the
United States, President Wilson re-
ceiving plurality of about 100000 in
the popular vote. The great increase
in the size of the vote was due partly
to the fact that women voted for presi-
dent in this election in II states.
-Four more states voted to adopt
statewide prohibition in this election.
They were Michigan. Montana. Ne
braska and South Dakota. The Demo-
Gratis retained control of the United
States senate. but as a result of the
close election, neither of the two ma

lies through the United States, Spain
and Switzerland, proposing that the
belligerents arrange conference for
the discussion of peace terms. The
notes were transmitted to the allied
governments by President Wilson with
out comment. The peace proposals
were received coldly. Premier BRAND,
in the French house of deputies, is
sued a warning against premature
peace, and the Russian duma, accord
ing to announcement made December
16, passed resolution favoring a re-
fusal on the part Of the allied govern
ments to enter into any peace nego-
tiations whatever under present con-
ditions.

posals the French in the Verdun Sec

German forces December Is, winning

Verdun and driving the Germans back
close to the line from which they start

command of the French armies in the
west, succeeding General Joffre, who
was made commander in chief OF the
French armies, but with little more
than advisory powers.

MEXICO AND UNITED STATES

The relations of the United States
with Mexico BECAME more strained
during 1916 than at any previous time
during the years of civil war that fol-
lowed the retirement of President Por-
firio Daz. They approached crisis
early in the year when, on January 10,
nineteen men, nearly all of them
Americans. were taken from a train
near chihuahua and killed by band
of bandits.
Conditions became still. more tense
when, on March 9. several hundred
bandits led by Villa raided and burned
the town of Columbus, N. M, killing
nine American civilians and eight Uni
fed States soldiers. March TO- Presi-

General Carranza, head Of the de

soon to display antagonism toward the
American expedition and on March II
he issued orders forbidding American
troops from entering Mexican towns.
He also refused to grant permission
for the American forces to use the
Mexican railroads for the transporta-
ton of supplies.
April II, "a detachment of United
States troops was attacked by Carran-
"a troops and citizens of Parral. Two
Americans and 40 Mexicans were kill
ed in the encounter. The following day
Carranza demanded the withdrawal of
the American troops from Mexico, but
his demand was ignored. The pursuit
of Villa came to standstill, however,
because of the hostility of CarranZa.

Congress was in session continuous
ly from January 4. when it reassem-
bled after the Christmas holidays. I'M
til September 8. Early in the session
a hot fight developed over the Phil
ippine bill passed by the house. The
senate adopted the Clarke amendment
providing for the granting Of full in
dependence to the Philippines within
from two to four years. May l, the
house rejected the Clarke amendment
and on August 16 the senate accepted
a compromise pledging independence
to the Philippines when the Filipinos
are fit for self government.

WAR AND THE UNITED STATES

Diplomatic difficulties growing out
of the war in Europe continued to
confront the United States govern
ment throughout the past year. The
submarine controversy with Germany.
which had been more or less acute
since the sinking of the Lusitania, was
intensified March 2, when the British
Channel steamer Sussex and the Brit
ish steamer Englishman, both of which
carried Americans, were tOrpedOed
and sunk without warming This oc-
Cured about two weeks after congress,
at the urging Of the president, had re-
fused to adopt resolution warning
Americans to remain off armed mer-
chant ships of the belligerents. The
german government at first denied any
responsibility for the attack on the
Sussex, and on April Is President Will
son addressed a note which amounted
practically to an ultimatum to the Ger
man government. In this note the pres
ident declared that unless Germany
Immediately declared and effected an
abandonment of it's methods of sub
marine warfare against passenger and
freight-carrying vessels, the United
States could shave no choice but to
sever diplomatic relations with the
German empire altogether" Ger
many's reply to this note, received in
Washington May 5, promised compli
ance in the future with the laws of
S%e,f
A supplementary note from Berlin, re-
ceived May TO- admitted that the Sus-
sex was torpedOed, expressed regret,
offered indemnity and declared that
the submarine commander had been
punished. No further serious contrO-
versy occurred with Germany until
after the sinking Of the Marina, with
Americans aboard, October %. 1t was
charged that the vessel was torpedOed
without warning. After an investiga-
ton Germany assumed responsibility
for the sinking of the boat, declaring
that the captain Of the submarine
thought the Marina an armed trans
port.
An interchange of notes between the
United States and the entente govern
ments, regarding the seizure and exam
nation of American mails, was produce
tive of little result. In several COM
munications Great Britain and France
insisted upon their rights to examine
neutral mails, but on October II they
made some slight concessions, promis-
ing to improve the mail service be-
tween America and neutral countries.
A blacklist against American firms
and individuals. charged with dealing
with Germany, which was published
by Great Britain July 18. and by
France August 6, brought emphatic
protests from the United States gov
eminent, but on November IA Great
Britain formally rejected the American
protests. declaring that the blacklist
was not aimed at neutrals.

POLITICS IN OTHER LANDS

The Sim Fem revolt in Ireland. the
establishment of a revolutionary gov
eminent in Greece, the proclamation
of Poland as an independent nation by
it's TeutOnic conquerors and the res
toration of the republic in China, con-
stituted the most important develop
ments of a political nature in coun-
tries outside of the United States in
1916.
An official mandate, issued March
p, announced the abandonment of the
Chinese monarchy and the restoration
of the republic which had been dis
placed by the monarchy during the lat
ter part of 1915. Yuan Shi Kai an
nounced his rejection Of the emperor
ship and resumed the presidency of
the republic. June 6, Yuan Shi Kai
died suddenly and Yuan Ii Hung be-
came president.
The Sim Fein rebellion in Ireland
was precipitated on April Is, when Sir
Roger Easement, former consular Off
Ger of the United Kingdom. was cap
tured while attempting to land in Ire
land from Germany and German
ship loaded with arms to be used in
an Irish uprising was sunk while at
tempting to land the arms. April "A,
the Sim Fein rebels seized parts of
Dublin and serious fighting in the
streets followed. The revolt spread,
and on April q martial law was de-
clared over the entire island. April
%, loyal troops took st. Stephens
green in Dublin from the rebels, cap
turing 400 of them, and the following
day, Peter Pearse. president of the
Irish Republic surrendered. The
next day the main. body of the reb-
els surrendered, May 3, Pearse, Thomas
j. Clark and Thomas McDonagh. lead
ers of the revolt, were executed in the
Tower of London, after being found
guilty of seditiOn at military trial.
Ten other leaders of the rebels were
executed during the next few days.
June 26, Sir Roger Easement was
placed on trial for treason in London.
He was convicted and sentenced to
death June 20 and the sentence was
executed by hanging in Pentonville
prison, August 3. Following the Sim
Fein revolt, an effort was made by the
government to bring about compro-
mise which would result in the grant
ing of home rule to Ireland at once,
but the effort was fruitless.
The revolutionary movement in
Greece, which resulted in the forma-
ton Of a provisional government by
former Premier Venizelos, grew out OF
the refusal of King Constantine to
be drawn into the war on the side OF
the entente allies. September p. the
island of Crete seeded from Greece,
and on September %, Former Premier
Venizelos and Admiral Coundouriotis
issued a proclamation declaring the
establishment of provisional govern
ment for Greece.
The independence of Poland, which
had been wrested from Russia by Teu-
tonic arms. was proclaimed by Ger
many and Austria, November 5.
The death Of Franz josef, emperor
of Austria Hungary. which occurred
November 81 was expected in some
quarters to be productive of events

litical viewpoint in the dual monarchy
