lied chiefly by American society

The article recalls the Paris di-

ried three times. and also that OF
Mrs. Cyril Hatch, who likewise
sought a separation here.
Among the other illustrious ex-

of John Barrymore's wife, who
broke her conjusal bonds here. and
comments that a divorce in Paris

CONDITIONS IN MEXICO MUCH
IMPROVED.

To the Editor. The wsshinstoa Herald:
1 am informed by q banker in
Mexico City that at no time since
1910 have political conditions been
so satisfactory in Mexico"
Banditry has been eliminated un-
der the new administration. Com
mercial activity has been given a
new and decided impetus by the
lack of political wrangling, which,
in the past decade, led so often to
the shedding of blood and destruc-
tion OF property.
Mexico is. according to DIR. z. il
Dillon, noted writer, now in Mexico,
about to inaugurate an era Of in
ternal reconstruction a
vast change has come over the peo-
pie"
The financial condition of Mex
ico Is markedly better" declares
II. c. Mostyn, of the Bank of Lon
