The reputation of tlie Turkish army crumbled overnight.

The insistence o f Servia on an Adri atic port as a result o f her victories «roils,«I opposition in Austria, and for a time there was widespread fear of a general European war. which had not entirely disappeared at the end of the year. The work of the Chinese revolution which started last year was largely completed, and the republic is today a fixed fact. I)r. Sun Vat Sen was in augurated as provisional president on Jan. I, but unselfishly resigned in fa vor of Yuan Shih Kai two months int er. The Manchu dynasty abdicated on Fell. 12, and three days later ttie elec tion of Yuan occurred, his inauguration taking place on March 10. A mutiny of tile soldiers about Peking was Inter put down, and the financial problem was temporarily solved by independent foreign loans. Woman suffrage and )ther advanced measures were adopt 'd in some of the provinces. Tile discovery o f the south pole was really made on Dec. 17. 1011. bat the announcement was deferred until March 7, 1012. when the discoverer. Captain Roald Amundsen, returned to civilization. The death of Emperor Mutsuhito of Japan, under whom that wonderful na tion has been transformed from seml- hartmrism to a place in the front rank of nations, occurred on July 30. and his son. Yoshihito. ascended the throne. The funeral of the dead mikado was ac companied by oriental pomp nnd was attended by representatives from the whole world. A sensational aftermath was ttie suicide of General Count Nogl nnd his wife. Nogi was the command er who took Port Arthur. Latin American Insurrections. The Mexican revolution against Pres ident Madero made considerable head way early in the year, the rebels cap turing tile city of Juarez on Kelt. 27. I.ater the federals gained important victories, driving the insurgents into the mountains. A new difficulty oc curred when Vera Cruz arose in insur rection. led by Felix Diaz, nephew of tlie former president. This uprising was speedily suppressed, however, and Diaz, with his other officers, was cap tured. two o f his lieutenants being put to death. There was also an insurrection in Nicaragua. American marines were landed to protect property nnd lives of our citizens. On Sept. 26 General Mena, a lender of the Insurrection, sur rendered to the federal and American forces. A rebellion o f the negroes in one of tlie Cuban provinces nlso caused the landing o f American forces, nnd there was some talk o f intervention, but the disturbance was soon quelled. Cu'>n held her presidential election in the fall without the presence o f American troops. The new president. General Mario Menocal. is friendly to the Unit ed States. End of Turko-Italian War. The war lietween Italy and Turkey dragged on through ttie early part of the year, with no very heavy fighting on either side. The Italian nn\y took the Islands o f the Aagenn. The use o f the aeroplane in war had further dem onstration, Italian aviators dropping bombs in a Turkish camp, killing ten. On Oct. 15 tlie pence protocol was sign ed between the two countries. By its terms Italy gained practical control o f Tripoli, but gave up tlie Aegean islands that Greece is now battling to free. In Great Britain the most notable events of the year, aside from Eng land's part in the general European sit uation, were the coal strike in Febru ary nnd March, the continued dis turbances by tlie suffragettes and the home rule fight. The coal strike threw out o f employment upward o f 1,000,000 workers nnd threatened for a time to become worldwide, there being also a strike in Germany and trouble threat ened In France and the United States. The British government interposed, and the contest was finally settled by the passage o f a minimum wage law satis factory to the miners. France Subdues Morocco. There was some friction between France and Spain over the division o f Morocco, tint it was finally adjusted, France retaining control o f all o f it, except some towns and a small amount of territory nearest to Spain. Mulal Halid abdicated as sultan. Among the sporting events abroad were the quadrennial Olympic races at Stockholm, in which the United States took most o f the track and field events, and the annual boat race between Ox ford nnd Cambridge, Oxford winning. Other events o f the year were the honoring o f William Marconi, inventor o f wireless, by a life seat I d the Ital ian senate; the completion o f tlie A l pine tunnel through the Arl mountain, six iiiul three-quarter miles long: the sinking o f the steamer Texas under the Turkish flag, slxtv-six passengers being drowned, and the review o f sev enty-two war aeropiauea and dirigibles at Paris.
