"REBELS" ALWAYS VICTORS Chinese and Mexican Revolutions and Strife Against Craft and MonopolyGreat Monop-olyGreat 8trldes Made In Aviation, When the historian of the future records rec-ords Uie events of the year 1911, ho will lay particular stress on the political poli-tical and social unest throughout the world. This was not confined to any one country, nor to a few countries; It was world v.ldo, Involving practically practical-ly every nation, both clvllUed and uncivilized. un-civilized. It included revolutions against long-standing governments, battles of labor and capital, wars between be-tween different nations and, In short, everything that could be branded as Btrlfo against existing conditions or growing conditions. Most slpulflcant of all the events of tho year wus the txploslon In open rebellion of the hatred, that had been accumulating through the bkcs, of the Chinese against tho despotic Manchu dynasty. Passive, unresisting, yet at the same time loathing and despising the power that held them In subjection, subject-ion, the millions In the Pur Hast empire em-pire had for centuries submitted to being trodden on by unreasoning, overbearing, over-bearing, all potent self-styled demigods. demi-gods. But China was gradually awakening awak-ening amil when the first flames of revolution burst forth. It was the signal sig-nal for the conflagration to become general. Rebels the Winners Everywhere. But the Chinese Insurrection was but a larger -dii Inn of dozens, yea, scores, of upheavals of various kinds In other parts of the world. They broke forth with such suddenness that It was almost Impossible to realize, what was occurring until the whole thing was over. Without exception, every or.o of the great dlst in banccs of the year that reached an ultimate result, re-sult, wound up in favor of the party or element rebelling nrainst the condition. con-dition. In not one did the defenso win over the offense. The Mexican revolution, near to our own doors, was ft sliikirg example of the overturn of rrcitne.
