SAD PICTURE OF MEXICO CITY Terrible Conditions prevailing Before Evacuation by Gen. Gonzales. Conditions in Mexico City the 17th bordered on the desperate. Thousands of the hungry wandered about, the streets searching for food, which was not obtainable because merchants re fused to take paper money. Gen. Gonzale's decree nullifying the $50,- 000,000 issue in circulation when he entered the city has not been follow ed by an issue of new m6neyr" The 16th mobs of women paraded the streets, looting bakeries, markets and pastry shops, until they were dis persed by streams of water from fire hose. Gen. Villela and seven other Zapata officers were executed that day on charges of rebellion. Gov, Herrera, his stiff and a number of other officers were awaiting court-ma-tial on the same charges. - A mass meeting of representatives of the for eign colonies was held the 17th and an appeal for relief and protection was issued to the government and the peo ple of the United State. The appeal, which will be forwarded to Washing ton, Bays in part: "A committee representing Ameri- can residents of Mexico City appeals to the government and people of the United States for relief and protec tion on behalf of all foreign residents in Mexico and the great majority of Mexicans, who are suffering "indoecm- able hardships through prevalent con ditiona of want, disorder and violence. President Wilson' recent warning to the Mexican leaders that their differ ences must be composed within a 'very short time has gone unheeded, and conditions steadily are growing worse. No Red Cress supplies, except medi cines, have arrived here. Even 'peo ple with money cannot buy food. There has been looting of markets and rioting with resultant deaths from the fire of soldiers. The city's chief water suDoly is shut off. Countless thous- and are suffering from hunger; sup - plies are cut off, commerce and in- dustry are paralyzed. Stores have been closed for a week awaiting an nouncement as to money acceptable. "Fresh reports have been received by the committee of murders, robber ies and outrages against foreigners as well as Mexicans throughout the country .. .i In despair, we again appeal for re lief for suffering, starving Mexico, powerless to save herself in the agony of destruction by hev own unworthy offspring, supplied with arms and am munition from the United State, the country to which unarmed Mexico looks for salvation." The foregoing was sent from Mexico City just prior to the evacuation by Carranza's army and the reoccupation by Zapata's forces. It was impossi ble to cable the dispatch from Vera Cruz owing to censorship. The manufacture of macaroni by the Waldensians at Valdese in Burke county is one of the new industries announced in this State.

SECRETARY DANIELS' SUBMA RINE PROGRAM Secretary Daniels has taken a firm stand in favor of a large increased appropriation for submarines. The Secretary has many friends in Cong ress who may be depended upon to follow his recommendations. He has the happy facility of getting more out of an obstinate Congress than any Secretary of the Navy for years. The Washington Post is just beginning to realize bow much improvement in the submarine service is due to the activ ity of Mr. Daniels. He will be able to report to Congress remarkable progress in the upbuilding of the sub marine service. NOTICE Having qualified as adiministrator on the estate of S. J. Kennedy, de ceased, before J.
