ARTHUR BLISS LANE T0 SERVE IN MEXICO Becomes Counselor of Embassy, in Charge After Retirement of Ambassador Morrow., By the Associated Press. Arthur Bliss Lane of New York, now chief of the division of Mexican affairs of the State Department, yesterday was ordered to go to Mexico City as counselor of the United States embassy. At the same time Herschel V. John- son of Charlotte, N. C., now first sec- retary of the embassy at Mexico City and charge d'affaires in the absence of Ambassador Morrow at the London Naval Conference, has been ordered to Washington to replace Mr. Lane in the division of Mexican affairs. . Lane recently returned from El Paso, ‘Tex., where he aided in conducting a survey of the possibilities for a new boundary agreement with Mexico which would eliminate the territorial disputes occasioned by the meanderings of the Rio Grande. He is regarded as one of the Nation's foremost authorities on Mexican affairs and, as_counselor, will have charge of the embassy in the interim between the retirement off Ambassador Morrow to become Senator from New Jersey and the selection and installation of a new American Ambagador. BRIDE OF 3 HOURS IS AWARDED DECREE Marriage to Man Said to Have Berved Prison Term Later Is Annuled. A bride whose romance lasted but three hours was freed of the marriage bonds yesterday when Justice Peyton Gordon in Equity Court awarded an interlocutory decree to Jennie Mary Phillips, 2809 Pifteenth street, annulling her marriage on August 10, 1926, to Benjamin Marks, who is said subse- quently to have served a prison term in Ohio for robbery. Through Attorney Raymond Neu- decker, the wife alleged that after the | marriage ceremony was performed at Forestville, Md., she drove back to the | District with Marks and he let her out of the machine, saying he would | see her later. The next she heard of Marks was about one year afterward, | when he was arrested here and held for the Ohio authorities, she said. | According to extradition records. | rks was wanted for housebreaking | in Akron on July 17, 1926, 23 days | before he and Miss Phillips were wed. | 15,000 ARE EXPECTED | AT MEMORIAL SERVICE | Rev.

Cosgrave has been forced to resign after being defeated on its opposition to old- age pensions, and the Republican ex- tremists still are not pacified. The secret and illegal Irish Republican army sull | is in existence. Cosgrave may be chosen again by the Dail Eireann, but has a strong opponent in Eamonn de Valera, Republican leader. The next most serious problem is that of the alarming depopulation. Since the || Irish Free State is primarily an agri- cultural country and must wait many years before it can even hope to enter the comity of manufacturing nations, the seriousness to depopulation becomes patent. The third problem is that of the Free State’s growing adverse trade balance. Latest trade figures show the external trade of the Irish Free State increased || greatly during the last 12 months, but the imports increased to a much great- er degree. | The drain of Ireland's sons and daughters to other lands is proving more difficult to stop. Statistics pre- pared by C. B. McKenna, auditor of the Trinity College Historical Society, show that in the last 80 years some | 6,000,000 Irish have scattered over va- rious parts of the world—most of them in large cities in the United States. | The United States immigration laws have helped Ireland. When the Irish uota was reduced several months ago rom 28,000 annually to 17,000 it turned the eye of would-be Irish immigrants to other lands. And other lands do not seem so attractive.
