A Mexican Caballero.

CTRAIGHT Graustark is the
~ life story of Gen. Jose Gorzalo
Escobar, who may be repatriated
by the Mexican decree of ann esty
for political exiles. He found his
wife at a beauty contest-a Texas
contest, too. She was the famously
beautiful Conception Goeldner of Ell
Paso and Mexico City.
The handsome, hard-boiled and
buckle General Escobar, staged in a
long and glamorous plot of amour
and fighting, was one of General
Gales best officers. He was the
hero of the "shelf of death" battle
in 1925, SURPRISING the De La
Huerta revolt. He suppressed the
1927 uprising and rode into Mex
leo on a handsomely caparisoned
white horse, with the bands playing
and the crowds cheering.
Two years later, he hid in clump
Of soap weed, shed his gaudy uni
form, medals and all, put on a
poems sOiled dungarees and strOlled
across the national boundary line
under the eyes of his enemies. He
had started a revolution of his own.
1t didn't jell.
His beautiful wife traced him to
a house in Prince Arthur street in
Montreal. With a lawyer, she ar
rived to tell him she had started
divorce proceedings. He could turn
on charm by just pushing a button.
Sonora Escobar wilted into his
arms, and it has been Ruth and
Boaz story ever since. The divorce
proceedings were withdrawn. His
enemies charged that he had taken
a half million gold pesos with him
when he fled.

Meet Viscount Halifax.

INFORMED observers of British
politics tell me that Viscount Hal
flax, who fenced adroitly with the
German Won Ribbentrop, has risen
within the last year to power unsur-
passed by that of any other one
man in England-that it was his in
exorable decree that drove Edward

He is better known as Lord IT.
win, former viceroy of India, in
which office he disclosed mastery
of political subtleties never sus-
pected in his years Of comparative
obscurity.
He is six feet, two inches tall,
with long, pallid, melancholy face,
broad forehead and big ingenious
eyes, the cagiest, wariest and sub
tlest Of all modern statesmen. His
father was a fervid leader of the
Anglo Catholic movement in Eng
land. In the son, this religious fer
vor has been sublimated in meta
physical politics.
He is a Tory. 1t was believed
he was willing to make a deal with
Hitler, to divert Germany eastward,
but the word now is that the fascist
threat to the Balearic islands and
the Canary islands, on England's
lines of empire, had implanted in
his mind some deep misgivings
about a German tie-up.
