MEXICO AND UNITED STATES

The friction between the United
States and Mexico, which had threat
encd for two years or more to result
in open warfare, began to disappear
early in 1917 and when the atten-
tion of the people Of the United States
was focused upon more important
matters by the entrance Of the
United States into the world war; the
Mexican "crisis" faded from the public
view.
Despite the failure of negotiations
with the Carranza government Presi-
dent Wilson ordered the withdrawal of
the American troops from Mexico and
on February 5, General Pershing and
his troops marched out of Mexico af-
ter having been in that country almost
a year
On March II, General Carranza was
formally elected president of Mexico.
From this time on conditions in Mexi-
co became more tranquil and there
were evidences that President Carran-
"a was succeeding in restoring order
in the republic. 1t was not until late
in the year that Villa again became ac-
tive. On November 13, troops led by
Villas aids, captured Ojinaga, on the
American border, after a hard fight.
Several hundred Carranza soldiers fed
across the border and were interned

POLITICS IN FOREIGN LANDS

ff 4 D. 4lr gt4.
A spirit Of unrest was apparent In
many widely separated countries in
1917, leading in some cases to revolu-
tion and civil war. The revolution in
Russia, resulting in the abdication Of
Car Nicholas and the forced abdica-
tion 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 un-
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 13 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 We're
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 nationalists, on March
z, demanded immediate home rule and
marched out Of the house OF commons
in a body. On July % a convention
proposed by Premier Lloyd George and
representing all factions in Ireland met
for the purpose of drafting home
rule constitution for Ireland.
Some misunderstanding between
the United States and Japan over far
Eastern matters We're cleared away by
the signing by diplomatic representa-
tives of the two countries on Noyem-
ber 2 of an agreement by which the
United States recognizes the fact that
japan has special interests in China
because of it's proximity but guaran-
teeing the territorial integrity of
China and the maintenance of the open
door policy in that country.
