sion Of many thousands of working
men, they saved the Industries of Italy
from the Reds, and finally, dissatisfied
with the weak policies Of Premier Fac
TIA, compelled his resignation on Octo-
Der 20. Mussolini was made premier
and at once set to work to restore the
prosperity Of the country. The king
and chamber Of deputies gave him full
power to put into effect his contem-
plated reforms and economic meas
ures, and as he had the support Of
most of the people, the prospects for
Italy were bright.
Greece's disaster In Asia Minor re-
suited in the second abdication Of
King Constantine on September 20, In
the face Of a revolt by the returning
troops. Next day the crown prince,
George, was sworn in as king and
new government installed. The revo-
lutionists In control caused the arrest
Of various former cabinet officers and
generals on the charge Of high treason
in connection with the debacle In Ana
tolia, and six of them, including three
former premfers, were condemned to
death. Great Britain tried vainly to
prevent the execution and then broke
off relations with Greece, probably glad
to get rid Of an embarrassing alliance.
Prince Andrew. uncle Of the king. also
was tried and condemned, but escaped
with exile.
M. BRAND resigned as premier Of
France on January II because his pol
icies at the Cannes conference were
opposed. He was succeeded by M.
Poincare, whose policies included strict
enforcement of the treaty of Yer
sailles.
Pope Benedict XIV died on January
%, and on February the Sacred Col
lege met in Rome to choose his success
sor. Four days later Cardinal Achille
Ratti, archbishop Of Milan, was elect
ed, and on February II he was
crowned pope as Plus XII.
To the account of affairs in Turkey
related above is to be added the down
fall of the sultan. Considered by the
Angora government to be tool Of the
British, and consequently a traitor, he
was deposed on November 1. The SOW
ereignty of the nation was declared to
be in the hands Of the people and the
name changed from Ottoman empire to
State of Turkey. The dethroned ruler
took refuge on Malta. On November
10 his nephew, Abdul Medjid Effendi,
was elected caliph of the Moslem
church.
Germany devoted herself through the
year largely to efforts to evade the
payment of PREPARATIONS, to determined
work to regain her foreign trade, and
to the printing of innumerable billions
of paper marks. The value Of the
mark fluctuated widely, reaching low
level of more than eight thousand for
a dollar. On June "a DR.. Walter Rath-
enau, foreign minister, was assassi-
mated in Berlin by reactionaries. Chan
cellor Wirth and his cabinet were
forced out Of office November IA and
Wilhelm Cuno became chancellor with

communists were not included.
On December 9 Gabriel Narutowicz

HOW JAPAN GREETS NEW YEAR
Custom Of Oriental Countries ls to
Give Special Performances In
the Play Houses.

THE Oriental methods Of greeting
- the New Year differ greatly from
ours. In Japan, as well as in other
Oriental countries, special perform
ances are given in the theaters.
In the temples and shrines priests
and attendants entertain the people
with special dances. The Kagura, or
Sacred Dance With Music, is the IA
vorite, for while it is being given
prayers are offered for the continued
happiness of the nation during the
coming year. This very old dance is
performed by young girls, while the
priests are the musicians. All are in
appropriate costume.
Another ceremonial, which has been
handed down for centuries, is the Shu-
Sal, or Dance of the Ancestral Sane
tuary. This is given within the palace
by the imperial family on January 3,
and it celebrates the founding Of the
imperial house, centuries ago.

Prosperity, Discomfort and TWO
Big Strikes Among Notable
Developments in America.
REVERSE FOR REPUBLICANS
Europe Still Is in Economic and Finan-
ciaI TurmoiI-DownfaII of Lloyd
George-Turks Defeat Greeks
and Recover Lost Territory
Fascist Gain Control
of Italy.
BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD

MOmentouS events and developments
marked the year 1922, both at home
and abroad. In America these includ-
ed the great strikes of coal miners and
railroad shopmen; the passage by con-
gress of new tariff bill, and the gen.
eral defeat of the Republican party in
the November elections. Among the
most noteworthy events elsewhere
were the establishment of the Irish
Free State; the election of a new
pope; the rout of the Greeks in Asia
Minor and the regeneration of the
Turkish state, followed by the Near
East peace conference at kausanne /;
the downfall Of Prime Minister Lloyd
George, and the triumph of the Fas-
ciSti in Italy.
Although the people of the United
States enjoyed a fair amount of pros
perity throughout the year, they were
discontinued and dissatisfied, and
showed it when they went to the polls
In November. Seemingly they did not
like the new tariff law, and the big
strikes and the matter Of prohibition
enforcement also had their effect then.
Economic and financial conditions in
some of the European countries
showed little or no Improvement, due
in part to the continued state of un-
settlement concerning the German rep
aratiOns and to the renewed turmoil in
the Near East Other countries, nota-
bly, Italy and CZechoslovakia, moved
definitely toward sterilization and
prosperity. Communism and socialism
suffered a tremendous setback in Italy
when the Fascist rebelled against
those doctrines and took over the con-
troll of the government.
AS in 1921, December was marked
by an international conference In
Washington, for President Harding
had invited the Central American re-
publics to send delegates there to dis
cuss limitation of ornaments and
other questions. They met on Deem

DOMESTIC AFFAIRS

AS has been said above, the people
of the United States, despite the fact
that they were relatively prosperous,
were not contented. Taxes, rentals
and the prices of the necessities of life
remained too high, and the farmer es-
pecially complained because he. did not
receive enough for the products Of his
toll AS usual, the unrest expressed it.

administration was blamed, with or
without reason. AS the primary cleo

voters saw and seized their chance,
and frequently the more conservative

progressives Albert J. Beverage de-

California and La Toilette of Wiscon-

YOUR "LITTLENEW YEAR"

UTHE Little New Year" is a

pops into view overnight; In

the margin between his being

to reckon with. From the min.
ute he claps his eyes on you, he
belongs; he is your Little New

pretty quickly what to do with
him. There is no possible way
of escaping this parenthOOd.
He's going to stick to you like
a burr for 365 days, every min
ute, every hour. It's really quite
alarming.
Are you going to bring up the
little fellow on UNDERGONE resolu-
tons?
Are you going to make him a
present Of malnutrition by feed
ing him on irregular meals of
prOcrastination?
Are you going to ruin his char
acter (and' maybe your own) by
rows and rows of pleasant fibs
to prevent a feeling Of discom-
fort about his growing up into a
harum-scarum> boy? Like human
children, he needs watching and
guiding and discipline. You'll
never have the opportunity of
raising" this particular lad
again. He will slip from your
fingers on the night of December
31-your Little New Year"

you've permitted him.

livered a short address on Turnerism
In the course of his remarks he dWelt
upon the principles Of the American
Gymnastic Union and what the aims
and purposes Of the Turnvereins Of The
country are. He stated that in his
opinion the corner stone of Turnerism
is freedom and liberty, and that the
harmonious development Of the mind
and body would have tendency ttc
develop the inherent desire 9in every
human breast to secure greater and
more far-reaching freedom. He also
mentioned that the Turnerbund was
founded by the revolutionary exiles
who. were forced to leave Germany
when. the revolution, Of 1848s collapsed
and that it. was their intention in
founding Turnvereins to- stimulate a
love for freedom among the members.
He also lsketched in rapid order \ the
improvements that the Turner Society
has made from its inception iii The
matter Of providing a suitable and
comfortable home for, their members
and outlined a plan whereby the work
and the aims IF the society could be
more readily and more! effectively ac-
complished. Miss Myra Alvin and
Miss Dorothy Helm then, favored the
audience with a piano duet which was
SO well received that they had to re-
