Marked by Unrest Involving the Entire World. * 1 <9 * J--*--— ——- “REBELS” ALWAYS VICTORS Chinese and Mexican Revolutions and Strife Against Graft and Monop-oly-Great Strides Made .In Aviation.

When the historian of the future records the events of the year 1911, he will lay particular stress on the political and social unest throughout the world, This was not confined to any one country, nor to a few countries; It was world-wide, involving practically every nation, both civilized and uncivilized. It Included revolutions against long-standing governments, battles of labor and capital, wars between different nations and, in short, everything that could be branded as strife against existing conditions or growing conditions.

Most significant of all the events of the year was the explosion in open rebellion of the hatred, that had been accumulating through the ages, of the Chinese against the despotic Manchu dynasty. Passive, unresisting, yet at the same time loathing and despising the power that held them in subjection, the millions in the Far East empire had for centuries submitted to being trodden on by unreasoning, overbearing, all-potent self-styled demigods. JBut China was graduaiiy awakening and, when the first flames of revolution burst forth, it was the signal for the conflagration to become general. Rebels the Winners Everywhere.

But the Chinese insurrection was but a larger edition of dozens, yea, scores, of upheavals of various kinds in other parts of the world. Theybroke forth with such suddenness that it was almost Impossible to realize what was occurring until the whole thing was over. Without exception, every one of the great disturbances of the year that reached an ultimate result, wound up in favor of the party or element rebelling against the condition. In not one did the defense win over the offense. The Mexican revolution, near to our

the overturn of regime. Nearer still was the successful culmination of the battle for statehood of Arizona and New Mexico.

Other struggles of equal magnitude developed during the year, many of them with sensational effect, tn which the issue is still being fought. Among these are the battle between labor and capital, the “people” and monopoly, x and advocates of popular government as opposed to representative government. Campaigns on graft have been waged with fierce resolution by city, state and federal authorities, not only in all corners of the United States, but abroad as well.

The McNamara dynamiting case, the growth of sentiment for popular election of all federal officials, the progress of the woman suffrage movement, trust prosecutions, the campaign for currency reform and that for lower tariffs—all these typify the unrest that exists tn our own country. Year’s Important Events. *Aslde from the numberless conflicts, many noteworthy things have been penned in the diary of 1911. Science has witnessed vast strides, particularly in the field of aviation. Tbe flights of Atwood from St Louis to New York and of Rodgers from New York to Pasadena, Cai., were the crowning achievements in this ll n £ About alt that remains to be accomplished in aviation, as a feat, is the crossing of the ocean.
