Khan they captured Kabul, the capital,
and drove out the new King. Habibul-
lah, who really was Bacha Sakao, a
bandit, assumed the crown and lasted
until October, when Nadir Khan occu-
pied Kabul and proclaimed himself
King. Bacha was taken prisoner and
executed.
Race War in Palestine.
Palestine was the scene of a bloody
uprising Of the Arabs against the Jews
in August, and many of the latter race
were masSacred in Jerusalem and other
places. The immediate cause of the out
break was dispute over the Wailing
Wall which the Jews have used for CEN
turtles as a place of prayer, but 1t goes
back to the deep resentment of the Arab
against the British mandate and the
predominance of Jewish influence in the
government of a country which they
consider belongs to them. The local au-
thorities were unable to stop the fight
ing, so the British stepped in with war
ships, troops and airplanes and speed
lily forced the belligerents to cease their
killings and depredations. The situation
in the Holy Land was still considered
so serious that the British government
sent out a commission of inquiry.
Chinas Nationalist government, be-
sides the quarrel with Russia, had to
contend with the seemingly unending
civil warfare that keeps the huge ma
ton relatively powerleSs This conflict
died down and revived several times
during the twelvemonth, and in Do
cember reached perhaps its most seri-
Gus stage. The rebels at this time con-
sisted of the Kwangsi province army
and the independent body known as
the "Ironsides Division" commanded
by Gen. Chang Fak-wei. These two
forces were advancing on Canton from
the west and the north, and the gov
eminent was compelled to withdraw
large numbers of troops from Man
churia to meet them.
Revolution in Mexico.
Mexico's annual revolutionary out
break came in March and spread rap
idly in or 10 states, becoming really
formidable, though belittled by President
PorteS Gil. The rebels were under the
general leadership of Escobar, while
Gen. Gales, minister of war, led the
government forces in person. For weeks
there was bloody fighting in Orizaba,
Monterey JuareZ, ManZanillo, Jiminez
and Torreon, with fortune favoring first
one side and then the other Gen.
Jesus Aguirre, rebel leader in Vera
Cruz, was captured and executed, and
on April the federal forces won a
great victory at Reforma. BY the end
of April the rebellion was in collapse,
and generals by the dozen were fleeing
across the United States border. With
this of its hands, the government pro-
ceeded to squelch the religious rebels"
who had been active, especially along
the west coast.
The presidential election was held on
November II, and resulted in victory
for Pascual Ortiz Rubio. candidate of
the Grand Revolutionary or govern
ment party, over VaSconcelos of the
Anti-Re-election party. The election
itself was reasonably quiet, but was pre-
coded by sanguinary riots in many
cities.

n A ANY happenings contributed to
M making the year 1929 highly
WI interesting to the observers OF
u human events, and at times
exciting for some OF the par
Elephants therein. First in international
importance were the long strides taken
toward the establishment of peace and
amity throughout the world. These
were the unprecedented visit Of Prime
Minister Macdonald to Great Britain
to President Hoover, followed by the
ministrations the two great English
speaking nations would cooperate to
prevent war, and by the invitation to
France. Italy and Japan to participate
with the United States and Britain
in another conference for naval limita-
ton; the formal acceptance of the KEEL
logg- BRAND pact by nearly all nations;
the readjustment of German repara-
lions by the Young commission, the
lens and the beginning of the evacua-
ton of the Rhineland by the allies.
Mars Almost Idle.
Mars was almost idle throughout
the year. The only serious armed
conflicts were the unofficial war in
Manchuria between the Chinese and
Russians; the perennial civil war in
China: a bloody but futile rebellion
in Mexico, end a bitter struggle for
the throne of Afghanistan. An upris-
ing of Arabs against Jews in Pales-
tine cost many lives but was speedily
quelled by the British.
In the United States the most talked
of event was the collapse in the Autumn
of inflated stock prices on the eX-
changes, which took from host of am
ateur spectators paper profits OF many
billions of dollars. The calamitouS de-
preston that might have resulted was
averted when President Hoover called
into conference the leaders of industry,
finance and labor and obtained their
pledges to support his program for con-
tinued and increasing prosperity. At
the same time Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon announced that the adminiStra-
ton would recommend that corpora
ton and individual income tax rates
this plan was supported by leaders of
by Congress in December. In its spe-
cial session during the Summer Con-
gress enacted farm relief law and
Federal farm board acting under its
provisions was soon in operation with
ample funds to aid the agriculturiSts.
The House also passed tariff bill, rails
ing many of the rates; but the Senate,
controlled by coalition Of Democrats
and radical Republicans, rewrote the
measure on other lines and the con-
troversy went over to the regular session
that opened on December 2.

DOMESTIC

During the last two months of its
life the Seventeen Congress passed a
number of necessary and wise measures,
including the Army and Navy supply
bills, the bill authorizing the construc-
ton Of is cruisers, and one providing
for deportation Of alien gunner and
bootleggers. Resolutions were adopted
ordering a survey of the Nicaragua
canal route and giving Federal approval
to the Chicago Centennial Exposition
of 1888, and the Senate ratified the
Kellogg BRAND pact outlawing war.
Another measure passed both houses
that was looked upon by q considerable
part of the citizenry as neither neces-
Sary nor wise. This was the Jones bill
to punish offenders against the Volstead
law by a maximum of $4,000 fine or five
years In prison or both. The bitter op.
position Of the vets was appeased scme-
what by an amendment stating that

to Finance.

THE dawn Of 1880 finds American
banking in strong, sound condition and
fully prepared to finance the activities

dale, president of the American Bank
ers' Association, says. "Our banks and
the Federal Reserve System not only
met the recent unprecedented credit
crisis, but came out of it in a stronger
position than before.
Trade and industry, likewise, appear
TO be on generally sound basis, with
indications that they will continue to
give good account of themselves in the
new year. We should, however, realize
we cannot go on forever setting up new
records, and 1t is time we should be
satisfied with just good business.
