(.Sneeial Despatch to The Ucfoniier.) Copyright I'.l. AVASIIINGTOX, May 24. Two deli cate situations in international affairs involving future relations between the I'nited States ami Mexico on the one hand, ami the I'nited States and Japan on the other, have progressed .to the vi tal point where the department of state hopes irritating comments from the press" of the three countries will be avoided so that a satisfactory settlement can be reached. Optimism as to the clearing of the two disputes is plainly reflected here but the job ahead of Secretary Hughes in nego tiating with the Obregon government on the question of recognition is one on which the AVilson administration was able to make little headway. This xva not because of the way the, thing was handled for the Harding regime has aked for practically the same thing from Mexico, but because the Mexican author ities believed they could get better terms from the Republicans than from the Democrats. Mexico is playing a careful game no prevsure has been exerted to obtain rec ognition from the I'nited States. o out ward effort has been made that, could be denounced by the anti-American elements in Mexico as an attempt to curry favor with the T'nited States. On the other hand. President Obregon needs the rec ognition of the I'nited States because it means recognition by the other govern ments of the world. It means economic stimulus and a funding ternal and internal debt loans. Might Start Involution. To put the question on a material ba sis, however, would only give President Obregon's enemies a chance to start a revolution against him. The I'nited States on the other hand cannot afford to accept oral assurances. Previous governments in Mexico have given and then iiinored written assurances. So whether the assurances are embodied in a protocol or any other form of agree ment, it is confidently expected that a definite promise will .be given by the Me.vican government to treat Americans and their interests equitably or else rec ognition will be inevitably withheld. The Mexican government has insisted that to igu a protocol would be humiliating and wou.fi! give infernal 'factions nu'.ojuHH Utility to, raise the cry that Obregon "has of Mexico's ex through foreign ft f ti Plll I1 I Merrtf Children I in ii b k a n apptf TO maintain a happy home the housewife must keep in good health.

I had such a back ache I could not cook a meal or clean up a room without raging with pain. I would rub my back with alcohol and it would ease for a few hours, but after I had taken three bottles of Vegetable Compound my aches'began to gradually leave me.
