1.-THE editorial published by the Hearst newspapers
contains great truths and amply portrays the greatest
spirit Of justice It takes account Of the fact that
nation recognised the equal Of any other, may in
way be deprived Of the rights conceded by inter-
national law for the aid and protection Of its citizens
who are established in a recognized country.
Mexico, its part, considers itself equally bound to
protect within the limits Of international law and Of
its own statutes the citizens of countries which have
recognized it; and as WELL the citizens of countries
which have not as yet accorded recognition.
"For recognition requires only the formula Of q
protocol and the lack of the latter in way relieves
the nation Of its duties which it is bound to fulfill in
conformance with international law, with moral laws
and with its own statutes. -r

late Baron William Waldorf Aston.
Under the seal Of Hever Castle,

recluse died an expatriate In 1919, APP
proximately S4,000.00o was offered for
the marriage OF Baron Astor's younger
brother. John Jacob Aston, to the dash
ing Lady Violet Mary Mercer Marine.
This remarkable provision was made
on August Is. 1919. within two months
OF Baron Astor,s death. and shows a
cumulative desire to get the nuptials

Gossip linked the failing health OF
Baron Astor with his evident desire
to see his younger brother safely mar

death approached this desire on Baron
Astor's part became almost q mania,
and successive changes In the Astor
trust show that even greater induce

Jacob from the gay life Of the court.
This interesting family history IL
revealed in the summons and COM

estate in New York. Under the orig

divided into two equal parts. :
One half was reserved for the bene-

In the event Of the death Of Lord
Astor, that trust is to be divided into
three parts for the benefit of his three
sons, william waldorf Astor, Francis
