POLITICS IN FOREIGN LANDS

A spirit of unrest was apparent in
many widely separated countries in
1917, leading in some cases to revolu-
ton and civil war The revolution In
Russia, resulting in the abdication Of
Car Nicholas and the forced abdica-
ton of King Constantine of Greece
were events closely allied with the
war. Disturbances in China, including
an attempt to restore the monarchy,
were influenced partly by the war.
Conditions In China were unsettled I'M
til June 80, when under the influence
Of monarchists, Hsuan Tung, Manchu
emperor, announced his resumption Of
the throne of China. Civil war i'm
mediately broke out and on July 10
the attempt to restore the monarchy
collapsed. On July 10 the monarchist
army, led by Chang Hsun, surrendered
after battle at Picking. The repub-
lican government was firmly establish
ed again and later declared war on
Germany and Austria Hungary.
Civil war in Cuba threatened to dis
rupt that country during the early
months Of the year. The rebels were
badly defeated In several engagements
and on March z, Gomez, their leader,
was captured. The rebellion was
stamped out quickly after the capture
Of Gomez.
Great Britain continued to wrestle
with the Irish problem throughout the
year. The Irish nationalist, on March
z, demanded Immediate home rule and
marched out Of the house of commons
In a body. On July % convention
proposed by Premier Lloyd George and
representing oil factions in Ireland met
for the purpose Of drafting a home
rule constitution for Ireland.
Some understanding between
the United States and Japan over far
Eastern matters were cleared away by
the signing BY diplomatic representa-
tives Of the two countries on Novem-
Der 2 Of an agreement by which the
United States recognizes the fact that
Japan has special interests In China
because Of its proximity but guaran- ]
feeling the territorial integrity Of
China and the maintenance Of the open
door policy In that country. sss.

INDUSTRIAL AND ECONOMIC

Industrial unrest was apparent in
the United States throughout 1917,
largely as result Of war conditions
and in spite of efforts made by the
government, aided by leaders Of organ
lied labor, to prevent strikes which
would delay the nations war prepara-
tons. 81. ISL H. +, -
EARLY in the year a nationwide
strike Of the skilled railroad employees,
which had been averted in 1916 by the
passage of the Adamson law, providing
indirectly for an increase in wages,
was again threatened, owing to the
fact that the placing of the Adamson
law in operation was delayed pending
a decision by the United States Su-
preme court on it's validity. The
threatened strike was averted March
10 by the capitulation of~the railroad
managers. On the following day the
United States Supreme court handed
down decision holding the Adamson
law constitutional.
Serious troubles were precipitated III
the Arizona copper fields July 1 when
the miners struck. Disorders were re-
ported from several points and on
July II the people Of Bigbee, Ariz, de-
ported 1000 members of the Industrial
Workers Of the World, who it was
charged had fomented the strikes in
the copper mines. On July 81, 80 I.
w. w. leaders were deported from
Gallup, N. M. On August /, Frank Lit
tie, I. w. w. leader, who had been
prominent in the Arizona troubles, was
lynched at Butte, Mont, where he had
gone to take part in strike of miners
and where he was alleged to have
made speeches attacking the govern
ment.
"A serious tie-up Of all shipbuilding
plants in the country was threatened
in August and September. Machinists
and boilermakers> in Eastern ship
yards went on strike August 81 and
$4,000 skilled mechanics and other.
workmen struck in San Francisco Sep
TENDER II. On September 20, Presi-
dent Wilson named a commission,
headed by Secretary IF Labor Wilson
and representing both employers and
employees, to act as his personal rep
resentatives in allaying labor troubles
during the war. The strike in the San
francisco shipyards was ended Sep.
TENDER 26 through the efforts of the
government mediators.
Leaders of organized labor in the
United States took a decided stand
throughout the year in support Of the
government preparations for war and
against antfwar propaganda. At the
annual meeting Of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor in Buffalo in Novem-
Der, union labor pledged its solid sup
port to the government in the prosecu-
ton of the war.
The railroads OF the country faced
another crisis during the closing
months Of the year when demands
were made by the four brotherhoods
for wage increases averaging 40 per
cent, affecting, directly and Indirectly,
approximately 100000 railroad EN-
ployees. ,8
Labor troubles OF the year were
closely allied with economic develop
a1ents, growing out OF the increased
cost Of living In the United States. In
order to prevent further Increases In
prices government regulation OF many
Industries was undertaken as war

HELPS SAVE HORSES
Red Star Is Doing Great Work
at Front.
Organization Aims to Do for the Horse
What Red Cross Does
for Man.

Albany, N. Y.-Everybody knows
about the work being done by the Red
Cross, but not so many are familiar
with the Red Star, another relief or.
ganization that has been brought into
existence by the war. The Red Star
aims to do for horses what the Red
Cross Is doing for men, women and
children-fghters and civilians who
are feeling the effects Of war.
The American Red Star Animal Re-
lief, which is the official title of the
Red Star, was organized some time ago
at the request of the secretary of war
by American Humane association. DR..
William o. Stillman, for II years pres
ident Of the latter organization, is d.
rector general Of the Red Star. The
national headquarters is at Albany.
The American Red Star proposes to
follow the lead of the Royal Society
for the Prevention Of Cruelty to AMI
mails Of England. which has hospitals
behind the battle lines, equipped to
care for 1880 horses and has sue
ceeded In curing "a per cent of the
animals which were turned over to it's
care by the British veterinary corps.
Before this relief work was started,
horses injured in battle were shot at
once, now they are given surgical aid
and returned to the front when cured.
1t is estimated that the work of this
British society has saved the British
government $3O,OOO,OOO in horse flesh.
1t is estimated that Of the 4,50O,O 900
horses on the battlefield Of Europe,
more than a million and a half are
from this country. These were OBJ
tanned largely before the United States
entered the war, when buyers for for
eign governments combed this country
for animals. The horse still plays an
important part in modern warfare, In
spite Of the growing use Of motor
trucks, as there are many places
where trucks cannot be used.
In this connection, Ernest /. White,
acting president of the New York State
Breeders association, has issued an ap-
peal to farmers and horsemen all over
the country to devote part of their at
tention to the breeding Of horses suit
able to army use, as their share in
aiding the government in the war.
