PRINCIPAL EVENTS REVIEWED Failure of Senate to Ratify Peace Treaty Leaves United States Tech- nically at War-Presidential Election Holds Interest.\ By DONALD F. BIGGS. The world throughout the year 1920 was passing through the troublesome, period of readjustment and reaction that began with the close of the World war, - Of all the great powers that had been involved in the conflict, the Uiut- ed States alone remained: techniculiy In a state of war with Germany, through the fallure of the senate to ratify the pence treaty. For all prac-; teal purposes, however, | the | United States was at peace and conditions in this country were more nearly normal) than in most of the nutfons of Europe j which had accepted the settlements agreed upon by the peace conference at Paris. Although the great war had ended, the warld wus not at peace in 1920, Territorial | disputes - and . jealousies growing out of the war resulted in a large number of teinor conflicts. The Irish problem remained un-) solved and the situation in the Emor-, ald Isle grew more serious ns the year progressed. . In the United States, fe- spite minor radical activities and the uncertainties accompanying. the read justment of business and Industrial conditions, there wns continued prog- périty and optimism, INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS The Work war was formally ended ! Junuary 10 when Germany and four- | teen of the powers allled agulust her in the war exchanged rafificutions of . the Treaty of Versaliles at Paris, The | United | States, . however, . was . not | among the uations participating In this l ceremony, as the treaty bad not been I i i ratified by the senate.

The cessation of bost!lities on the Phiish fronts enabled the Botshevikl to strengthen their other fronts. D- rected by Troizky, the war minister, the Bolsheviki launched a violent of\ fensive on October 31 against the South Russian artoles commanded by General Wrangel. They succeeded in smashing | General | Wrangel's forces and drove on through Crimes. The Bolshevikl forces captured Se- bastopol _ November | 14.
