from four to seven miles. Here begins
this world-famous archipelago. These

thousand of them. Some authorities
assert there are as many as TOO

az poNALp T. alees.

The world throughout the year 1870
was passing through the troublesome
period OF readjustment and reaction
that began with the close of the World
war. OF all the great powers that had
been involved in the conflict, the Unit
ed States alone remained technically
IN a state of war with Germany
through the failure of the senate to
ratify the peace treaty. For all prac-
tical purposes, however, the United
States was at peace and conditions in
this country were more nearly normal
than in most Of the nations of Europe
which had accepted the settlements
agreed upon by the peace conference
at Paris.
Although the great war had ended,
the world was not at peace in 1920
Territorial disputes and 1ealousies
growing out of the war resulted in a
large number Of minor conflicts.
The Irish problem remained un-
solved and the situation in the Emer-
aid Isle grew more serious as the year
progressed. In the United States de-
spite minor radical activities and the
uncertainties accompanying the read
justment of business and industrial
conditions, there was continued pros
perity and optimism.
