GET 11, S. HELP? Having Taken Mexico City, His Recognition by United States Depends on Sub sequent Achievements. HOPED HE CAN BETTER CAPITAL CONDITIONS No Definite Consideration Has Been Given to Question of Recognition by State Department. Washington, July IS. Brief dis patches have reached the state de partment from Mexico City dated before the occupation of the capital by Carranza troops which described the food conditions there as almost intolerable, but officials believe that the situation already has been re lieved by the change of authority or that It will be remedied as soon as transportation with Vera Cruz has been resumed. State department officials, when asked whether the occupation if Mexico City by Carranza troops would affect the question of his res ignation, declared that no definite consideration had been given the matter. The United States will watch carefully the attitude and policy of the Carranza authorities, but there will be no decision, It is believed, for some time as to anv chanee of Dollcv on account of the pressing nature of the German situation. Heretofore the possession of Mexi co City has not been regarded as of much Importance because of the fre quent change of authority but now there are indications. that If Carranza can better his position by acquiring further territory north of the capit al and can reopen communication with the American border there is a chance of his obtaining moral sup port of the 'United States which would improve his position material ly.
