MEXICO AND UNITED STATES

The friction between the United
States and Mexico, which had threat
ened for two years or more to result
in open warfare, began to disappear
early In 1917 and when the atten-
ton 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 "crlsis" faded from the public
view.
Despite the failure Of negotiations
with the Carranza government Presl-
dent Wilson ordered the withdrawal Of
the American troops from Mexico ana
on February s, General Pershing and
his troops marched out of Mexico af-
ter having been in that country almost
q year.
On March IL, 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 Is. troops led by
Villas aids, captured Ojlnaga, on the
American border after a hard fight.
Several hundred Carranza soldiers fed
across the border and were interned

POLITICS IN FOREIGN LANDS

A spirit Of unrest was apparent I'm
many widely separated countries In
1917, leading in some cases TO revolH-
ton and civil war. The revolution i'm
Russia, resulting in the abdication Of
Gar Nicholas and the forced abdica-
ton Of King Constantine Of Greece
were events closely allied with tho
war. Disturbances in China, including
an attempt to restore the monarchy,
were influenced partly by the war.
til June 80, when under the influence
of monarchists, Hsuan Tung, Manchu
emperor, announced his resumption OF
the throne of China. Civil war Inn
mediately broke out and on July 10
the attempt to restore the monarchg
collapsed. On July IS the monarchlst
army, led by Chang Hsun, surrendered
after a 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 T. Gomez their leader,
was captured. The REBELLION wss
stamped out quickly after the capture
of Gomez.
Great Britain continued to wrestia
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 body. On July Is convention
proposed by Premier Lloyd George ana
representing all factions In Ireland met
for the purpose OF drafting a home
rule constitution for Ireland.
Some misunderstanding between
the United States and Japan over far,
Eastern matters were cleared away by
the signing by diplomatic represents
tives of the two countries on Noyem-
Der 2 of an agreement by which the
United States recognizes the fact thav
Japan has special interests in China
because. Of its proximity but guaran-
teeing the territorial integrity OF
China and the maintenance Of the open
door policy in that country.

THE WAR CONGRESS

The first "war session" Of the Sixty
fifth congress which opened on April
2, was the most momentous session in
the history of the United States up to
that time.
The first war bill passed by congress
was one authorizing the issuance Of
bonds to an amount not exceeding So
000,000,000 and authorizing the secre-
tary of the treasury to purchase Sc
curities Of governments at war with
Germany to the amount Of $3000,000,-
900.
The army CONSUMPTION act was
passed by the house April % by O vote
of 397 to "a and by the senate on May
by vote of 81 to 8.
The first big war appropriation bill,
carrying appropriations aggregating
1921 ,094, 54160 for the army and
navy, was passed in the house May 2
with one opposing vote and in the SEN
ate May 10 without roll call.
The measure known as the eSpion-
age act, intended to prevent disloyal
acts on the part Of residents of the
United States and also containing pro-
visions giving the president power to
place an embargo on exports, was
signed by the president June Is.
A bill appropriating $640,000,000 for
the development of the air service was
passed without record vote by the
senate on June Is and by the house
on June g.
The food control act, under which
broad powers were given to the presi-
dent for the regulation Of the sale Of
food and fuel, was passed in the house
June % by vote of 1855 to and In
the senate July p by vote Of 81 to 6.
The second great bond issue act,
authorizing the issuance of bonds to
the amount Of $7538, 945,8 GAO and war
savings certificates to the amount Of
$2,O00,000,000, was passed In the house
September and In the senate Septem-
Der Is.
The revenue act, first introduced in
the house May 0, was passed by the
house May %, but was not passed by
the senate until September 10. The
conference report was accepted Octo-
Der 2. The message provides for the
raising of nearly S3,000,0O0,000 annu-
ally, largely from income and excess
profits taxes.
The second big war appropriations
act, carrying a total of $5,356,666,-
01699, including $685., 100000 additional
for the emergency shipping fund, was
approved by the president October 6.
The second session of the war con-
gress. opened December 3, and the fol-
lowing day President Wilson delivered
a message declaring that nothing will
turn the United States aside from its
task until the war is won.
During December both houses of con-
gress opened far-reaching investiga-
lions into the war preparations of the
war and navy departments.

INDUSTRIAL AND ECONOMIC

Industrial unrest was apparent in
the United States throughout 1917,
largely as a 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 prepare
lions.
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
decision by the United States Su-
preme court on its validity. The
threatened strike was averted March
Is by the capItulation Of the railroad
managers. On the following day the
United States Supreme court handed
down a decision holding the Adamson
law constitutional.
Serious troubles were preclpitated In
the Arizona copper fields July / when
the miners struck. Disorders were re-
ported from several points and on
July II the people Of Bigbee. Artz., de-
ported 1900 members Of the Industrial
Workers Of the World, who 1t was
charged had fomented the strikes In
the copper mines. On July 81, 81 L.
w. w. leaders were deported from
Gallup, N. M. On August l, 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
w0rkmen struck in San Francisco Sep
TENDER II. On September 20, Presi-
dent Wilson named commission,
headed by Secretary of 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 &c through the efforts Of the
government mediators.
Leaders of organized labor in the
United States took decided stand
throughout the year in support of the
government preparations for war and
against antiwar propaganda. At the
annual meeting Of the Amt Acan Fed
Grafton Of Labor In Buffalo in Noyem-
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.
Labor troubles of the year were
closely allied with economic develop
ments, 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
