PICKARD oceanic flights were attempted. Several of them succeeded, while mnny failed tragically. Interest centered Internationally, to efforts on bring about relargely 's President armaments. of duction Invitation to the nations signatory to the Washington treaty to confer cn 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 1ms busy throughout the year, but seemed to little progress. Its December rmfc 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 Prance and Italy. United 8tates 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. tome sections by agricultural depression and by the devastating floods In the Mississippi valley. Cool-Idge- - 1 INTERNATIONAL aeml-priva- te a Po-an- "Llndbergb'i year" might well bo tha designation given 1927, for it was diatlngnlalied especially by the achievements of that admirable yonng American aviator. Ilia transatlantic flight, the first from America to Europe; bia triumphant progress abroad and afterward In bis home country, his nonstop flight to Mexico City, and his gallantry and modesty made Um the most famoua 'man'of his time. Both before and after he winged his way to Frahce numerous other trans- - mination to protect her nationals and large Interests In Manchuria. No agreements with China could be made by the powere for there was no real central government of that distracted country. Germany kept up her reparation! payments, and her relations with France were bettered by a commercial treaty and trade pacta. On January 81 the Interallied commission turned over the control of German disarmament to the League of Nations, and In August France agreed tq reduce the occupational farces in the Rhineland. France and Tngo-Slavlsigned 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, waa designed to maintain Italian control of the Adriatic. There was much 111 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 giinft It, and the Lithuanians believed Premier Illsudskl had designs on their independence. Seizure of VUna by d several years ago was the under lying cause of the row. Marshal and Premier Waldemaras of Lithuania vent to Geneva and were persuaded to make a temporary peace agreement, the details of a permanent pact to be worked out later. Pll-nds- kl foreTgn Great Britain slowly but steadily recovered from the effects of the long' cool 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 Fas against the British, the deficit amounting to fGC.000.00a In April the government Introduced a bill to amend rather drastically the law relating to trade unions and strikes. The measure waa supported by the. Conservatives as necessary for the defense of the existing political and social system; but It was assailed y by all the forces of Labor, who asserted it was designed not to protect the state but Id 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 La bo rites that the scheme was abandoned for the present. In April, Chancellor of the Exchequer Churchill Introduced the budget for the year, designed to meet a deficit of $110, 000,-00Its proposals showed that, despite her enormous burdens. Great Britains financial position was fundamentally sound. When the Doll Eireann or parliament of the Irish Free State met in of his June, De Valera and forty-fou- r 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 alx votes, and President Cosgrave was reelected. In July' Ireland was shocked by the assassination of Kevin OHig-gins- , vice president and minister of Justice. The murderers were not blt-terl- At the opening of the year Preel-- . dent Dias of Nicaragua asked American aid against the Liberal rebels led by Doctor 8acssa, and naval forces and marines were promptly sent, since our rights to the.

Within a few weeks the movement had been effectually put down and Gomes, Serrano and many others hid been executed by firing squads. President Figueroa of Chile was forced out of offles by Premier Ibanez, who was later elected to succeed him. Virtual collapse of the Knomlntnng revolution In China, so far aa achiev' ing its objectives was concerned marked the year in the Oriental republic. The Nationalist pqyty was hopelessly split Into factions, whll Marshal Chang maintained his supremacy In Peking and was reported to be preparing to proclaim himself emperor. The dvll warfare went on unceasingly without definite result DOMESTIC - Generally speaking, conditions were condudve to a prosperous year In the United States. Industry and commerce flourished and th government piled up a huge reserve that made n reduction of taxes a certainty. Advene were the unprecedented features floods in the Mississippi valley, continued though somewhat ameliorated depression In tbs agricultural Industries, the long coal etrike In the bituminous fields which wae ended In several states in the autumn, and a strike of coal miners in Colorado under leadership of the L W. W. Presidential polities occupied .the minds of the people to a considerable extent President Coolldge, ' It wan conceded, could have the Republican nomination for the asking, but during his vacation In the Black Hills of 8outh Dakota be rather astonished the nation by Issuing the olmple statement: I do not choose to ran for President In 1928." Thus the race was made an open one, though many of Mr. Coolldge's admirers insisted that he would accept the nomination If drafted" by the party. Of the other possibilities those most favorably considered were Frank O. Lowden, Herbert Hoover and Vice President Charles Dawes. Charles E. Hughes also was liked by many. Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas announced that be was a candidate for the honor, and n boom for Senator George Norris of Nebraska was started by some of hie fellow Insurgents." Senator Willie of Ohio threw hie hat into the ring after the President In December told the national committee he bad eliminated" himself. Kansas City wee awarded the Republican national convention after spirited contest with San Francisco, and the call was Issued for June 12. A1 Smith, at hie fourth Inauguration aa governor of New York, declared hie candidacy for the Democratic nomination and throughout the year he seemed to gain steadily In strength. Of course most of the drys In bis party opposed him and they sought for rival candidate to take the place of W. G. McAdoo. The beat they could find, apparently, wee Senator James Reed ef Missouri. In February congress passed the McNary-Hange- n farm relief bill and President Coolldge promptly vetoed It because he and bis official advisers considered It economically bad. Duo log the year the various agricultural organizations tried to get together on some measure that would serve their needs nnd meet the President's objections, bat failed. .The matter came np again In the Seventieth congress which met In December. The senate In January refused to admit Frank I. Smith and W. 8 Vara, senators-elec- t from Illinois and Pennsylvania respectively. Iterance of alleged political corruption in their campaigns and elections. Senator Reed of Missouri spent considerable time duo ing the summer Investigating the cases, and when the senate convened on December fi the battle for and agnlnst the admission of the two men was resumed. President Coolldge 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 n 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 H. L on the ground of fraud, and luter President Coolldge tnrned the naval oil reserves beck to the Navy department. In October the Supreme court cancelled the Teapot Dome lease held by Harry Sinclair- - In that month the conspiracy ease against Fall and Sinclair went to trial In Washington, but a mistrial wae ordered when It was discovered some of the Jurors were being shadowed by Burns detectives Do-bon- employed by the defense. Sinclair, W. In Jn!y, J. Burns end several others were dted for contempt of court. There was a reorganization of the machinery for enforcement of prohibition in May. Seymour Loraan succeeded L, C. Andrews aa assistant secretary of the treasury In charge of that Job, and Dr. j. U. Doran replaced Roy A. Haynes sa commissioner of prohin bition. The league loot Its guiding band when Wayne Wheeler died In September, but under other leaders It went ahead with plans to raise millions for the defeat of ell 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 came home to report to Mr. Coolldge at the summer White House In the Black Htlle. The general waa in poor health then and on August 7 he died In Boston, universally lamented. In December President Coolldge appointed Henry L, Stirnmn to succeed General Wood .as governor general of the Philippines. The cases of Sacco and Vsnzettl, Italian Communists, stirred up their fellow Reds ell over the world, end the "pioke" as well. They had been convicted of murder In Massachusetts and sentenced to death. The fairness of the trial Judge woe attacked and the execution of the men wae delayed for months by every means In the power of tbs defense. The 8npreme court end Governor Fuller declined to interfere and the men were put to death on August 22. The annual convention of the Amer lean Legion, which wee held in Parle, woe 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 thonssnda of delegates visited the battlefields and went to Belgium and England. A large party Journeyed to Rome. Edward E. Spafford of New York wa elected commander of the Legion and San AntenlOb Texas, was awarded the 1928 convention. What remains of the Grand Army of the Republic held Jhe national encampment of that organisation in Grand Rapids, Mich., In September. EL L. Hawk of Sacramento, Calif., waa chosen commander In chief, and Denver was selected for the encampment of 1928. When the Seventieth congress assembled in December P resident Coolldge sent in a message In which he stood pat on a number of controversial topics. He again called for tbe creation of a federal farm board to administer e revolving fund to help co operatives, and again urged the strictest economy. He recommended a moderate reduction In taxes on the lines 'favored by Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, adequate works on the .lower . Mississippi to control floods, legislation permitting tbe President to act daring coal mine strikes, the turning over of the government's merchant marine to private capital, and tbe projection of the waterway through the St Lawrence. The hones ways and means committee did not agree with Mr. Coolldge and Mr. Mellon end submitted a bill that would reduce taxes' by about $232,000,000. Most of the Mellon recommendations were Ignored In Its preparation. Tbe house itself went even further end before the holiday recess passed a measure calling for tax reductions aggregating $200,000,-00or $05)00,000 In excess of the maximum set by, the administration. Tbe government budget submitted to congress by the President called for appropriations totaling $356 057,031, and be gave his approval to tbe Navy departments building program requiring expenditures of $725,000,000 in the first five years.

Lindbergh's epochal flight, alone, from New York to Parla are etlll fresh In all minds Test Ing bis plane by flying from California to Long bland in two hops, the qnlet yonng- - man took off for France on May 20, and 33 hoars end 21 minutes later he landed safely al the Le Bonrget field. Tbe French people went wild over him end In France, Belgium and England, honors were heaped upon him. lie kepf his head wonderfully, and his modesty and devotion to hie business, both In Europe and after his triumphant return home, endeared him to all American even more than his great achievement. Rejecting all offers that would have made him wealthy, ho took a position In the Guggenheim Foundation for the advancement of aviation, and In his famous plane, the Spirit of SL Louis, made a tour of all the states. In December Lindbergh was invlied to Mexico City by President Caltes and responded by making tbe first nonstop flight from Washington to the Mexican capital, where he waa received most enthusiastically as the unofficial ambassador of good will. In February De PInedo of Duly flew across the south Atlantic to Brasil, later flying np to the United States and Canada and thence to the Azores and home. The armys air squadron lost two of Its members In a collision at Buenos Aires; the rest of' them returned to Washington In May. CL D. Chamberlin and CL A. Levine flew from Long Island to Germany In June, establishing a nonstop distance record of 8JNffi miles. The same month Lieut. J. I Maitland and Albert Hegenberger 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, EL L Smith add EL ,Bl Bronte made the flight from San Francisco to Hawaii -- of gal boding on Molokai bland, out t Many planes were entered In race from California to Honolulu In August. end four started, but only two made the trip successfully. One of these woe manned by Art Goebel and Lieut William Davis, and the other by Martin Jensen and Paul Schlatter. The other two starters, carrying four men and one woman, were lost end t, Cept W. P. Erwin and A. H. who flew in search of them, also perished In the ocean. Before the start of tbe race three entrants were killed in accidents. Yet another bold aviator who disappeared, was Paul Redfern, who undertook to fly bom Brunswick, Ga to Rio de Janeiro, Brasil Then, in September, Pilots Berteud nnd Hill, with P. Payne, a New York newspaper man aa passenger, undertook the transatlantic flight, heading for Rome; they fell Into the sen and perished. In October Ruth Elder and George Uslde-mttried to duplicate Lindberghs feat but were forced down near the Azores and picked up by steamer. Pilots Schlee and Brock started bom New Foundland August 27 for n flying tour of the world. They landed In England the next day, hud continued their trip successfully as far aa Tokyo, Japan. By that time the over the Pacific were such that they wisely made the crossing by steamship, mots Tally and Med calf of Canada lost their lives In trying to fly from Harbor Grace; N. F, to London In September. European aviators were almost as active as those of America, and some of them also paid tbe extreme penalty for their boldness. Captains Charles Nungesser end Francois Coll, famous French aces, undertook a nonstop flight bom Parle to New York In May, and were lost off New Foundland. In August Gnpt. Leslie Hamilton nnd Col. F. F.MIncfaln, with Prlncqss os passenger, started from Cpsvon, England, for Ottawa, Out., nnd were never seen again. Elch-wald- n con-dltlq- m SPORTS , In respect of attendance all records in American sporting events were broken in 1927. The outstanding events In tbb way were the prise fight for the heavyweight championship in Chicago, between Gene Tun-ne- y and Jack Dempsey on September 22; and the football game; also in Chicago, between Notre Dame and the University of Lower California on November 20L The fight, It b needless to shy, was won on points by Tuuney, the dmmplon.

There was an Interesting race In tbe National Baseball league, which was won by Pittsburgh. Tbe American league pennant was taken by tlie New York Yankees, and that club defeated the Pirates handily in tbe worlds series. Ban B. Johnson retired from the presidency of the American league In October and wae succeeded by K. 8. Barnard of Cleveland. Bobby Jones maintained bis place as leader In the world of golf, for he not only won again the British open championship, but also the southern open and tbe national amateur titles.

Handy Mondy captured the Latonla Derby. pari-mutu- DISASTERS It was another year of disaster and convulsion! of nature. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions; furious storms and devastating floods were numerous end took a terrible toll in lives nnd property destroyed. The Mississippi valley floods that alerted In April were the worst In the history of the United 8tatea. Vast areas from central 1111 nols to the Gulf of Mexico were Inundated, hundreds of persona drowned and hundreds of thousands rendered homeless, while the property losses ran Into the hundred millions. All roller agencies, from the government departments down, were employed, with Secretary Hoover In general charge, and the people of the country contrib uted most llhirally for their unfortunate fellow citizens. An immediate result was the formulating of plane for flood control for action by thn Seventieth congress.
