EVENTS OF 1927 IN MANY LANDS Record of Twelve Months’ Notable Happenings in the United States and Abroad. FEATS OF LINDBERGH Y* o Remarkable Year for Aviation—Efforts to Reduce Armaments Are Not Successful—Strained Relations in Europe—Presidential Politics and Doings of Congress—Mississippi Vai- ’ ley Devastated by Floods By EDWARD W. PICKARD ‘‘L’ndbergh’s year" might well be the designation given 1927, for it was distinguished especially by the achievements of that admirable young American aviator. His transatlantic flight, the first from America to Europe;’ his triumphant progress abroad and afterward in ids home country, his nonstop flight to Mexico City, and his gallantry and modesty made him the most famous man of his time. Both before and after he winged his way to France numerous other transoceanic flights were attempted. Several of them succeeded, while many failed tragically. Internationally, interest centered largely on efforts to bring about re- ’ duction of armaments. President Coolidge’s invitation to the nations signatory to the Washington treaty to confer on means to extend the provisions of that pact was accepted only by Great Britain and Japan, and ended in complete failure. The. League of Nations’ “ preparatory disarmament commission was more or less busy throughout the year, but seemed to make little progress. Its December meeting was attended by Russian representatives who blandly proposed immediate and total disarmament. This plan was squelched and the matter of International security taken up. The league council, convening toward the. close of the year, had to deal with'the old quarrel between Poland and Lithuania and with strained relations between France and Italy. United States marines were busy helping suppress a revolutionary movement in Nicaragua and protecting our nationals in China. At home the year was notable for the steady growth of our national economic prosperity, which, however, was halted in some sections by agricultural depression and by the devastating floods in the Mississippi valley. INTERNATIONAL At the opening of the year President Diaz *f Nicaragua asked American aid against the Liberal rebels led by Doctor Sacasa, and naval forces and marines were promptly sent, since our rights to the Nicaragua canal route were deemed Imperiled. After numerous skirmishes all Nicaraguans were ordered to surrender their arms to the American forces, and the backbone of the rebellion was broken in a battle at Ocotal in July. Encounters with scattered guerrilla bands continued through the rest of the year. Relations between the United and Mexico improved steadily and Dwight Morrow went down there as ambassador, late in the fall with high hopes of settling all the differences amicably. Secretary of State Kellogg’s plans for ending the Tacna Arica dispute between Chile and Peru were rejected by the latter country in January. The three-power conference on naval disarmament called by President Coolidge was Held in Geneva. Practical agreement was reached concerning submarines, but Great Britain’s demands in the matter of small cruisers could not be accepted by America and Japan, and American demands for eight-inch guns were rejected by the British, so the whole affair collapsed on August 4. Viscount Cecil was so incensed by the*stubbornness of the British delegates that he resigned from the cabinet and from participation in the doings of the League of Nations. Soviet Russia, more and more taking part in international affairs, made small progress into the good graces of other powers. Her proposal in the disarmament conference of the league, mentioned above, was scoffed at as not only impracticable, but also as disingenuous. In February Britain warned Moscow to cease its anti-British propaganda, and in. May the London police raided the Soviet trade headquarters and seized incriminating documents. The Russian representatives were deported and all relations between the two na tions severed. Until late In the year the Soviet emissaries were active In keeping the Chinese civil war alive, though their efforts were scarcely needed. When the radical faction of the Chinese Nationalists was virtually suppressed by the moderate wing, the Bolsheviks had so few friends left that they practically withdrew from the country. The war in China was made an international affair by the attacks on foreigners and foreign concessions and the threats against the treaty ports. American, British. French, and Japanese forces were sent there and are still there, for the end of the conflict is not in sight. It was complicated by Japan’s deter-

Astrology Once Held as Profound Science

The so-called science astrology, according to the Mentor Magazine, which supposedly tells one’s fortune from the stars, reached the height of Its vogue in the Seventeenth century. An elaborate system of rules enables an astrologer to prepare * a horoscope. which is merely an observa- • tion of hours or times, showing the position of Hie stars in the sky at, say. the birth of a person. In this

mination to protect her nationals and large interests in Manchuria. No agreements with China could be made by the powers for there was no real central government of that distracted country. Germany kept up her reparations payments, and her relations with France were bettered by a commercial treaty and semi-private- trade pacts. On January 31 the interallied commission turned over the control of German disarmament to the League of Nations, and in August France agreed to reduce the occupational forces in the Rhineland. France and Yugo-Slavia signed a treaty which Premier Mussolini thought was aimed at Italy, so he retaliated with a military pact between Italy and Albania which, he frankly stated, was designed to maintain Italian control of the Adriatic. There was much HI feeling, but little apparent danger of hostilities. Not so much could be said for the trouble between Poland and Lithuania. Each of these nations accused the other of fomenting plots against it, and tire Lithuanians believed Premier Pilsudski had designs on their independence. Seizure of Vilna by Poland several years ago was the underlying cause of the row. Marshal Pil sudski and Premier Waldemaras of Lithuania went to Geneva and were persuaded to make a temporary peace agreement, the details of a permanent pact to be worked out later. .FOREIGN Great Britain slowly but steadily recovered from the effects of the long coal strike. What that conflict did to the country was indicated by the fact that in January, for the first time in many years, the real balance of trade was against the British, the deficit amounting to $66,000,000. In April the government Introduced a bill to amend rather drastically the law relating to trade unions and strikes. The measure was supported by the Conservatives as necessary for the defense of the existing political and social system; but it was assailed bitterly by all the forces of Labor, who asserted it was designed not to protect the state but to take away the rights* won by the workers and to destroy the unions. After many weeks of violent debate the measure, considerably modified, was passed. Another plan of the government, proposed in June, was to reduce the number of peers in the house of lords, and at the same time to so strengthen the powers of that chamber that it would be an impregnable defense against the growing power of labor. This was so strongly opposed by the Socialists and Laborites that the scheme was abandoned for the present. In April, Chancellor of the Exchequer Churchill introduced tiie budget for the year, designed to meet a deficit of $110,000,000. Its proposals showed that, despite her enormous burdens, Great Britain’s financial position was fundamentally sound. When the Dail Eireann or parliament of the Irish Free State met in June, De Valera and forty-four of his followers were excluded because they refused to take the oath of allegiance to King George. Later they changed their minds and were sworn in. The general elections in September gave the government a plurality of six votes*, and President Cosgrave was re elected. In July Ireland was shocked by the assassination of Kevin O’Higgins, vice president and minister of justice. The murderers were not caught. Canada’s importance was considerably amplified by her election as a member of the council of the League of Nations, Senator Raoul Dandurahd being given the seat, and by the sending of an American minister to Ottawa in the person of William Phillips. On July 1 the Dominion celebrated the sixtieth anniversary-of its birth as a self-governing unit of the British empire. Ontario abandoned prohibition, and on June 1 substituted the system of selling liquor in government stores to persons possessing permits. Prince Edward Island, the smallest of the provinces*, voted in June to remain dry. That France is still nervously afraid of attacks from the East was made plain when the superior war council in February announced plans for the construction of defenses on the German and Italian frontiers calling for the expenditure of seven billion francs. The project will give France the most formidable frontier defenses in Europe. Parliament passed a bill in March providing for nationalization of all needful industry in time of war. and in April President Doumergue signed a bill under which France will build one cruiser, six destroyers, five and other war craft. Premier Poincare, despite constant opposition in parliament, maintained his prestige, and his financial measures proved so successful that many wondered why he did not proceed to the stabilization of the franc. Under the firm hand of Mussolini, the Fascist state of Italy began to function fully in 1927. Measures that, though severe, seem wholesome were put in force from time to time and the country prospered, beyond denial of the detractors of the Duce. In April, the premier proclaimed a Fascist “charter of labor,” which was regarded as a substitution of the principle of co-operation for that of competition, and thus a step in the abolition of class struggle. King Ferdinand of Rumania died on July 20 and his grandson, the infant Michael, 9 was proclaimed his successor under a regency. Friends of Carol, former crown prince and father of the child king, stirred up a lot of excitement and trouble with schemes to bring him back from exile and put him

horoscope particular record is made of the planet or constellation then in the ascendant —that Is to say, then above the horizon. The present phrase “in the ascendant” derives its meaning from the. original usage, in connectiou with fistrology, although in the sense of superiority over some one or something the word is now usually ascendancy. Although astrology was originally the science of the

on the throne, but little came of it In November Premier lonel Bratiano, unrelenting enemy of Card, died and •was succeeded temporarily by his brother. Bloody revolts by Communists in Vienna and by Royalists in Portugal were suppressed in the' summer. In Soviet Russia Stalin and his associates undertook to squelch utterly the opposition faction and Leon Trotzky and his followers were expelled from the Communist party. President Calles of Mexico continued his suppression of the Catholic opponents to his rule. Many prelates were arrested on charges of sedition, and in April Archbishop M*.»ra y del Rio and others were expelled from the country. Mexico’s most serious revolutionary movement came in October and was led by Generals Gomez and Serrano, both rivals of General Obregon for the Presidency. Within a few weeks the movement had been effectually put down and Goifiez, Serrano and many others had been executed by firing squads. President Figueroa of Chile was forced out of office by Premier Ibanez, who was later elected to succeed him. Virtual collapse of the Kuomintang revolution in China, so far as achieving its objectives was concerned, marked the year in the Oriental republic. The Nationalist party was hopelessly split into factions, while Marshal Chang maintained his supremacy in Peking and was reported to be preparing to proclaim himself emperor. The civil warfare went on unceasingly without definite result. a DOMESTIC Generally speaking, conditions were conducive to a prosperous year in the United States. Industry and commerce flourished and the government piled up a huge reserve that made a reduction of taxes a certainty. Adverse features were the unprecedented floods in the Mississippi valley, continued though somewhat ameliorated . depression in the agricultural industries, the long coal strike in the bituminous fields which was ended in several states in the autumn, and a strike of coal miners in Colorado under leadership of the I. W. W. Presidential politics occupied the minds of the people to a considerable extent. President Coolidge, it was conceded, could have the Republican nomination for the asking, but during his vacation In the Black Hills of South Dakota he rather astonished the nation by issuing the simple statement : “I do not choose to run for President in 1928.” Thus the race was made an open one, though many of Mr. Coolidge’s admirers insisted that he would accept the nomination if “drafted” by the party. Os the other possibilities those most favorably considered were Frank O. Lowden, Herbert Hoover and Vice President Charles Dawes. Charles EL Hughes also was liked by many. Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas announced that he jvas a candidate for the honor, and a boom for Senator George Norris of Nebraska was started by some of his fellow “insurgents.”}Senator Willis of Ohio threw his hat into the ring after the President in December told the national committee he had “eliminated” himself. Kansas City was awarded the Republican national convention after a spirited contest with San Francisco, and the call was issued for June 12. Al Smith, at his fourth inauguration as governor of New York, declared his candidacy for the Democratic nomination and throughout the year he seemed to gain steadily in strength. Os course most, of the drys In his party opposed him and they sought for a rival candidate to take the place of W. G. McAdoo. The best they could find, apparently, was Senator James Reed of Missouri. In February congress passed the McNary-Haugen farm relief bill and President Coolidge promptly vetoed it because he and his official advisers considered it economically bad. During the year the various agricultural organizations tried to get together on some measure that would serve their needs and meet the President’s objections, but failed. The matter came up again in the Seventieth congress which met in December. The senate in January refused to admit Fijank 1.. Smith and W. S Vare. senators-elect from Illinois and Pennsylvania respectively, because of alleged political corruption in their campaigns and elections. Senator Reed of Missouri spent considerable .time during the summer Investigating the cases, and when the senate convened on December 5 the hattie for and against the admission of the two men was resumed. President Coolidge declared himself, early in the year, in favor of adequate national defense, and congress in Its army and navy appropriations was fairly liberal, going even beyond the Chief Executive’s recommendations by providing for .three light cruisers. In October Admiral Magruder severely criticised the management of the navy in a magazine article and paid the penalty, being removed from his command of the naval station at Philadelphia. The Fall oil lease scandal came to the front again several times. The United States Supreme court cancelled the leases given by Fall to E. L. Doheny on the ground of fraud, and later President Coolidge turned the naval oil reserves back to the Navy department. In October the Supreme court cancelled the Teapot Dome lease held by Harry Sinclair. In that month the conspiracy case against Fall and Sinclair went,to trial in Washington, but a mistrial was ordered when it was discovered some of the jurors were being shadowed by Burns detectives

employed by the defense. Sinclair, W. J. Burns and several others were c>*d for contempt of court. There was a reorganization of the machinery for enforcement of prohibition in May. Seymour Loman succeeded L. C. Andrews as assistant secretary of the treasury in charge of that job, and Dr. J. M. Doran replaced Roy A. Haynes as commissioner of prohibition. The Anti-Saloon league lost its guiding hand when Wayne B. Wheeler died in September, but under other leaders it went ahead with plans to raise millions for the defeat of all wet candidates for office. In April the President vetoed the Philippines assembly act for a plebiscite on independence for the islands. Later Governor General Wood qme home to report to Mr. Coolidge at the summer White House in the Black Hills. The general was in poor health then and on August 7 he died In Boston, universally lamented. In December President Coolidge appointed Henry L. Stimson to succeed General Wood as governor general of Philippines. The cases of Sacco and Vanzetti. Italian Communists, stirred up their fellow Reds all over the world, and the so-called “pinks” as well. They had been convicted of murder in Massachusetts and sentenced to death. The fairness of the trial judge was attacked and the execution of the men was delayed for months by every means in the power of the defense. The Supreme court and Governor Fuller declined to interfere and the men were put to death on August 22. The annual convention of the Amer lean Legion, which was held in Paris, was a great success and the former doughboys thoroughly enjoyed their return to the scenes that became familiar to them during the World war. After the. convention adjourned most of the thousands of delegates visited the battlefields and went to Belgium and England. A large party journeyed to Rome. Edward E. Spafford of New York was* elected commander of the Legion and .San Antonio, Texas. , was awarded the 1928 convention. What remains of the Grand Army of the Republic held the national encampment of that organization in Grand Rapids, Mich., in September. EL«. L. Hawk of Sacrament o. Calif.. was chosen commander In chief, and Denver was selected for the encampment of 1928. When the Seventieth congress assembled in December President Coolidge sent in a message in which he stood pat on a number of controversial topics. He again called for the creation of a federal farm board to administer a revolving fund to help co operatives, and again urged the strictest economy. He recommended a moderate reduction in taxes *>n the lines favored Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, adequate works on the lower Mississippi to control floods, legislation permitting the President to act during coal mine strikes, the turning over of the government’s merchant marine to private •■apital. and the projection of the Gulf-to-Atlantic waterway! through the St. Lawrence. The house ways and means committee did bht agree with Mr. Coolidge and Mr. Mellon and submitted a bill that would reduce taxes by about •8232,000,000. Most of the Mellon recommendations were ignored in its preparation. The house Itself went even further and before the holiday recess passed a measure calling for tax reductions aggregating $290,000.000, or $65,iOOO-.000 in excess of the maximum set by the administration. The government budget submitted to congress by the President- called for appropriations totaling I $3,556.957,031, and he gave his approval to the Navy department’s 20-year building program requiring expenditures of $725,000,000 in the firsg five years. AVIATION Details of Charles A. Lindbergh’s epochal flight, alone, from New York to Paris are still fresh’ in all minds Testing his plane by flying from California to Long* Island in two hops, the quiet young man took off for France on May 20, and 33 hours and 21 minutes later he landed safely at the Le Bourget field. The French people went* wild over him and In France, Belgium and England, honors were heaped upon him. He kept head wonderfully, and his modesty and devotion to his business, both in Europe and after his triumphant return home, endeared him to all Americans even more than his great achievement. Rejecting all offers that would have made him wealthy, he took a position in the Guggenheim Foundation for the advancement of aviation, and in his famous plane, the Spirit of St Louis, made a tour of all the states. In December Lindbergh was Invited to Mexico City by President Calles and responded by making the first nonstop flight from Washington to the Mexican capital, where he was received most enthusiastically as rhe unofficial ambassador of good will. In February De Pinedo of Italy flew across the south Atlantic to Brazil, later flying up to the United States and Canada and thence to the Azores and home. The army’s pan-Amerlcan air squadron lost two of its members in a collision at Buenos Aires; the rest of them returned to Washington in May. C. D. Chamberlin and C. A. Levine flew from Long Island to Ger many in June, establishing a nonstop distance record of 3,905 miles. The same month Lieuts. J. L. Maitland and Albert Hegenberfcer of the army, flew from San Francisco to Honolulu, and Commander Byrd and his crew hopped off at New York for Europe, landing in the sea near Havre, France. E. L Smith and E. B. Bronte made the flight from San Francisco to Hawaii

and actions. If this astral influence was not propitious the man was said to be ill-starred —a figurative epiihet which we have kept even to the present time. Naturally, to be thus illstarred was regarded as a great “disaster,” for if the word disaster is examined it will be seen that it really means ill-starred, for “aster” (compare the name of the flower) comes from the Greek word for star, and the prefix “dis” is a negative. An obsolete meaning of rhe word disaster identifies It as the name of the inimical

in July, tanking on Molokai island, out of gas. Many planes were entered in a race from California to Honolulu in August, and four started, but only two made the trip successfully. One of these was manned by Art Goebel and Lieut William Davis, and the other by Martin Jensen and Paul Schlutter. The other two starters, carrying four men and one 1- woman, were lost, and Capt. W. P. Erwin and A. H. E*;hwaldt, who flew in search of them, also perished in the ocean. Before the start of the race three entrants were killed in accidents. Yet another bold aviator who disappeared, was Paul Redfern, who undertook to fly from Brunswick, Ga., to Rio de Janeiro. Brazil. Then, in September, Pilots Bertaud and Hill, with P. Payne, a New York newspaper man as passenger, undertook the transatlantic flight, heading for Rome; they fell into the sea and perished. In October Ruth Elder and George Haldeman tried to duplicate Lindbergh’s feat but were forced down near the Azores and picked up by a steamer. Pilots Schlee and Brock started from New Foundland August 27 for a flying tour of the world. They landed in England the next day, and continued their trip successfully as far as Tokyo, Japan. By that time the conditions over the Pacific were such that they wisely made the crossing by steamship. Pilots Tully and Medcalf of Canada lost their lives in trying to fly from Harbor Grace, N. F„ to London in September. European aviatore were almost as active as those of America, and some of them also paid the extreme penalty for their boldness. Captains Charles Nungesser and Francois Coli. famous French aces, undertook a nonstop flight from Paris to New York in May, and were lost off New Foundland. In August Capt. Leslie Hamilton and Co! F. F. Minchin, with Princess Lowen-stein-Wertheim as passenger, started from Upavon, England, for Ottawa, Ont., and were never seen again. SPORTS In respect of attendance all records in American sporting events were broken in 1927. The outstandingevents in this way were the prize fight for the heavyweight championship in Chicago, between Gene Tunney and Jack Dempsey on September 22; and the football game, also in Chicago, between Notre Dame and the University of Lower California on November 26. The light, it is needless to say, was won on points by Tunney, the champion. The football game resulted in a victory for Notre Dame. In the squared circle during the year Pete Latzo lost the welterweight title to Joe Dundee; Bud Taylor retained the bantamweight championship by defeating Tony Canzoneri; Mickey Walker, world’s middleweight champion, of New Jersey, beat Tommy Milligan, European champion, in London. and Sammy Mandell kept his lightweight title by whipping McGraw. There was an interesting race in the National Baseball league, which was won by Pittsburgh. The American league pennant was taken by tlte New York Yankees, and that club defeated the Pirates* handily in the world’s series. Ban B. Johnson retired from the presidency of the American league in October and Was succeeded by EL S. Barnard of Cleveland. Bobby Jones maintained his place as leader in the world of golf, for he not only won again the British open championship, but also the southern oper and the national amateur titles. However, he lost tlte national open, which was won by Tommy Armour after a tie with Harry Cooper Bobby Cruickshank won the North and South open. Johnny Farrell the Metropolitan open and eastern open. Bob Stein of Seattle the western amateur. Mrs. Harry Pressler the women’s western. Tommy Armour the Canadian open. Walter Hagen the western open and the professional. Mrs. Miriam Horn tjie women’s national, and George Duncan the French open. France’s tennis learn captured the Davis cup from the Americans, and one of its members, Lacoste. again won the American championship, defeating Bill Tilden. However. Tilden. Hunter and Misses Wills and Ryan made a fine showing in European tour naments. It was difficult to pick the best of the year’s college football teams, for several were undefeated. Yale beat Harvard in their annual match, and University of Illinois won the Western conference championship. The Army-Navy game in New York resulted in victory for West Point. Horse racing had a prosperous year and a number of new tracks were opened; two of thes? were in the Chi cago region, for Illinois’ legislature had legalized pari-mutuel betting. The Kentucky Derby was won by H. P. Whitney’s Whiskery, and the American Derby at Chicago went to HydromeL Handy Mandy captured the Latonia Derby. DISASTERS It was another year of disasters and convulsions of nature. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, furious storms and devastating floods were numerous and took a terrible toll in lives and prop erty destroyed. The Mississippi valley floods that started in April were the worst in the history of the United States. Vast areas from central Illi nois to the Gulf of Mexico were in undated, hundreds of persons drowned and hundreds of thousands rendered homeless, while the properly losses ran into the hundred millions. All re lief agencies, from the government departments dow’n, were employed, with Secretary Hoover in general charge, and the people of the country contrib-

aspect of a star or planet. Then, finally, we have the exclamations “My stars!” and “My stars and garters!” (the latter with humorous reference to insignia) and the expression to “Thank one’s stars” all directly from old-time astrology. When we call some ,one a star gazer, we tend to indicate the folly and falsity of the old-time but now discredited science. Old fashioned scythes have been sent in large lots to Russia from factories in Austria.

In November: Disastrous and fatal floods in New England and Algeria; explosion of gas storage tank in Pittsburgh killed about 40 persons.
