He died at the age of 59-a successful manager for the Maryland Casualty Co. People said he looked like the War President, except that his features were harder, and genius had not touched his brow...
Fifteen months ago this precocious young man, Dr. José Yanguas, then Professor of International Law at the University of Madrid, was given the portfolio of Foreign Minister (TIME, Dec. 14, 1925), an honor and a responsibility usually reserved for men of ripe age and riper experience...
