HUERTA IN LONDON.

Those wise ones who like to moral

he find an impressive example of the
| |hollowness of fame in the news re-
ports of the adventures in London OF
Gen. Victoriano Huerta. This man,
rs perhaps American readers will re-
call, was once President and dicta-
tor of Mexico. At the time he fled
from his own country and took
refuge In Paris he held position in
public eyes which was almost the
|eenter of the spotlight.
What do we find now?
"Huerta," says the London dis
patch, slipped into the city unan-
bounced and took apartments in an
obscure hotel" Afterward he hired
two motor cars to take himself and
his family to Trafalgar Square and
Buckingham Palace.
There is no record that the Lon
don populace paid the slightest at
tention to Huerta. He got amid the
e orms of today not so much atten-
ton as Jack johnson, a fighter of
another sort, got in the calm of an
other day. Three months ago his
presence in the English metropolis
n ight have drawn headlines, but 9TH
e. news and greater things have ef-
faced Hue-ta and his troubles from
the public attention as effectively as
IL he had never tried to rule Mexico

torious rival, entered the Mexican
capital in triumphal parade. Eu-
