AFFAIRS IH MEXICO
STATE DEPARTMENT TOLD OF
ECONOMIC CRISIS SITUA
TION IS GRAVE.
FOOD SHORTAGE IN CAPITAL
De Facto Government Pictured as Fac
lng Serloun Situation Monetary
Problem Becomes More Acute Rail
way Men on Strike.
Wctttm NewP Union Ntw Smlc.
Washington, D. C The economic
situation In Moxlco Is extremely
grave, according to official advices
sent to the state department. With
tho monotnry problem already acute,
the food shortage In Mexico City vir
tually continuing without prospect of
any Immedlato relief and with tne
labor strike extending over virtually
all tho Mexican railway lines, the do
facto government Is pictured as facing
a serious domestic plight.
Consul Letchor from Chihuahua
City Is here, and brought with him a
synopsis of tho reports of five other
consuls recently ordered to tho border
to talk over conditions with military
officials there.
It was officially stated that while
Mr. Letchor makes his report on con
dltlona In Mexico, that was not the
Bole purpose of his trip. It was ex
plained ho was ordered here that rou
tine mattors might be takon up with
him.
Tho department has received fur
ther advices from Special Agent Rod
gers at Mexico City telling of the
new noto that wns in process of prep
aration by tho do facto government,
but the message throw no light on its
purport.
While reports as to tho domestio
situation of tho Carranza government
are gloomy, tho attitude of tho Mexi
can officials toward tho United States
has been described as more friendly
since tho border conferences between
Gens. Scott and Obrogon. It is be
lieved possible this will bo reflected
In the now noto, although somo offi
cials think a now request for with
drawal of tho American expeditionary
forces will bo recommended with
whatever other proposals Gen. Carran
zu has to mako.
NEW PROTEST FOR BRITAIN.
Untied States Again Objects to Inter
ference with Mails.
Washington. Prraldnt Wilson Mon
day completed a noto vigorously re
newing tho protest of tho United StntOB
to Great Drltnln against Interference
with American malls.
Secretary Lansing and legal exports
at tho state department made the orig
inal draft of tho noto and the presi
dent revised Its phraseology. It Is
mado up largely of legal nrgumonts
to meet tho contentions of Great Brit
ain, In tho memorandum, concurrod in
by France, presented to tho stato de
partment several weeks ago. The
United StatCB takes tho position that
practices complained of In Its first
complaint on tho subject have been
continued, and tho American govern
ment must now Insist more emphat
ically that thoy cease.
Stato department officials consider
that tho chlof woaknoss In tho posi
tion of Great Britain Is her policy of
taking neutral mall vessols Into Brit
ish Jurisdiction and submitting them
to local censorship regulations.
