MExICANs PRAISE PRESIDENT.
Recognition of Carranza Lauded by
Mexico City Newspapers.

MEXICO CITY, October 21-Formal
recognition by the United States of the
de facto Carranza government resulted
in all the morning newspapers of Mex
leo City being printed in American col
ors and containing extremely laudatory
articles of President Wilson and the
American nation.
On all sides and in all circles cheers
and praise for the American executive
and for the people were heard.
Enthusiasm over the recognition of
the Carranza government is growing,
and the feeling of pessimism, long
prevalent is everywhere being sup
planted by one of hope for the future.
VERA CRUZ, October 21.-The ring
ing of bells, the playing of bands, pa
rades and shouts of long live the
American union" were continuous yes
terday as result of the recognition
of Gen. CarranZa's government by the
United States and the other American
republics. At 6 o'clock the American
battleships outside the harbor raised
the Mexican flag and fired salute Of
twenty-one guns, which was imme-
diately answered by the Mexican gun
boat ZaragoZa, which raised the Stars
and Stripes.

CASE Of FUG|T|VES UP
TOSTATE DEPARTMENT

Precedents which would give United
States officials ideas as how to best
handle the situation developed by the
escape from Norfolk of the two officers
and six warrant officers from the in
termed German vessels there are today
being wrestled with by the State De-
partment. The Navy Department., on
the shoulders of which rests the bur-
den of keeping the officers and men here,
has put the matter up to the State
Department
Secretary Daniels today called upon
Admiral Beattie of the Norfolk navy
yard, directing him to send to the de-
partment list of the officers and men
now aboard the two vessels. BY check
ing up this list with the one sent soon
after the vessels interned, the depart
ment will determine who are missing.
While declaring that the officers and
men are now being confined to ship
there to prevent any further breaking
of parole. the Secretary objected to the
use of the term prisoners" as applied
to the officers and men of these ships.
Not Prisoners of War.
He said they are not prisoners of war,
despite the fact that they are being
kept aboard ship
Secretary Lansing refused to express
any opinion in the case until he had
studied the facts presented by the Navy
Department. In the meantime closer
guard is being maintained upon the two
raiders and their ships companies being
held closely to their vessels. Should it
prove necessary care of the ships will
be taken over by navy officials and
their crews transferred to detention
camps ashore.
A precedent for asking for the re-
turn of the escaped men is found in the
case of two Russian officers who left
an interned Russian cruiser at San
Francisco during the Russian Japanese
war and made their way to Vladivo-
stok. The Russian government prompt
" arrested the men and sent them
back to San Francisco, where they re-
manned until the end of the war.

vices received at the confidential agency
OF the Mexican government. Monday,
before the actual news of recognition
had been received, the ratio had im-
proved once more, and stood at five
pesos to one American dollar. Three
weeks ago the exchange rate was fifteen
to one. Now it requires only fifty pesos
to buy a SO gold piece. October 1 it
required $50 pesos to obtain the same
American coin.
In cablegram to the confidential
agency, Minister Acuna of the depart
ment of foreign relations states that the
continued improvement and increased
regularity in the railway communications
throughout the republic has brought the
prices for foodstuffs in the national cap
ital almost to a normal basis. The sup
plies are surprisingly large, he says.
