tional law and he stated that at the
first conference on the codiflcation OF
international law to convene at The
Hague in March, 1880, at which over
40 nations will be represented, the fore
most subject of three to be considered
is the question of nationality. One OF

international marriages: Or. Healy
hopes to see an eventual settlement OF
the matter by adoption of international
codes free from discrimination on ac-
count of sex and making change OF ma
