DOMESTIC AFFAIRS

Practically every phase Of American
life felt the dominating influence Of
war throughout the year 1918.
In the field of national legislation
woman's suffrage and nationwide pro-
hibition were urged as war measures.
The womnn's suffrage amendment
was defeated In the senate October /,
after having passed the house. A
nationwide prohibition measure. to
become effective June 30. 1919. was
enacted by congress and approved by
the president November %. On Sep
tember 6 President Wilson had or
dered the manufacture of malt liquor
stopped on December 1, as a food
conservation measure.
The government, early In the year,
began to tighten Its control over indus
try and business for the purpose of
furthering war efforts and protecting
the public. On January 16. to relieve a
serious coal shortage which threatened
to delay the shipment of war supplies
to France, Fuel Administrator Garfield
ordered a general shutdown of indus
try and business In all states east of
the Mississippi river for period of
FIVE days and ten succeeding Mondays.
On February Is the order for heatless
Mondays was rescinded.
Cheyenne record., 1919-01-02
FOREIGN

The map of Europe was being re-
made as the year 1918 came to close.
The Czecho-SlOvak republic was al
ready in existence before the close of
the war, having been recognized as an
Independent belligerent government by
the United States, Great Britain,
France and Italy, but the coming of
peace saw the formal establishment Of
this new government at Prague. The
end of the war also practically assured
the rising of a great new Poland, made
up of most. if not all, of the territory
divided up years ago among Germany,
Austria and Russia. Finland threw
on the shackles placed upon her by
Russia and out of the turmoil of civil
war emerged as free and Independent
nation. The peoples of other smaller
subject states asserted their independ-
ence.
CIVIL war continued to threaten the
new republic Of China throughout the
year. Hsu Shih Chang was elected
president of the republic on Septem.
Der 6 and during the next few months
reports indicated a possibility of an
agreement being reached between the
northern and southern sections of the
country.
Peru and Chile were reported on the
brink of war during the closing weeks
Of the year. The trouble between
these countries was an outgrowth Of
the nitrate war of years ago in which
Chile won Taona and africa.
DR.. Sidonia Paes, president of Por-
tugal, was shot and killed at Lisbon,
December Is. The assassin was killed
by the crowd that witnessed the crime.
Two days later Admiral Canto Y. Cas-
tro was elected president of Portugal.
On December 16 the Finnish diet
elected General Mannerheim regent of
Finland
