DISTRESS IN MEXICO
CONDITIONS OF FAMINE AND
SUFFERING ARE AS BAD AS
IN EUROPE.
AMERICAN REDCROSS HELPS
Consuls at Monterey and Matamoras
Report Terrible State of Affairs
Must Have Food, Cloths and
Medicines Immediately.

Observation-Disclosures of famine
and suffering Mexico, said by some OBJ
servers to rival abe distress in the
European theater of war, are described
in reports this week to the American
Red Cross, with appeals for help.
Consul General Hanna has sent the
following message from Monterey:
There is an alarming shortage of
staple food supplies. Several outly-
ing towns are appealing to me for
help. If the winter keeps cold there
will be great suffering. | need 1000
cheap blankets. After four years of
wal this country is short of food"
The consul at Matamoras confirms
an appeal which said:
"The conditions in Europe which
shock the civilized world haxe existed
here against our borders for four
years unconsidered. Mexico is peo-
pied with widows and orphans and
famine is in the land. One sees it
daily in emaciated forms, shrunken
cheeks, tightly drawn skin and burn.
ing e sees it in the faces of
women, old men and little children.
A Cry for Food.
Many have died on American soil
during the last year, ostensibly from
obscure diseases, but actually from
starvation, and there are hundreds OF
children who have never had suffi
cient food in their lives. The SOUND
of laughter and playing children is
| stilled in Mexico. They have endured
much, but now has been reached the
end of even stoicism, and from the
east and the west and south ;
cry of bread for the starving.
There is need for food and clothes
and medicines. The need is pressing
There is no time to be lost. Arrange
ments have been made whereby sup
plies can be distributed from thu
American consulate at this place t.
any locality in Mexico"
The Red Cross a short time ago Oh

Measure Recently Passed

Work to City Fund.

Mayor Mitchell last week gave his ap-
proval TO the repaving bill passed by
the Legislature, which provides that
where developers have paved streets
in accordance with city specifications
the first repaving Of such streets will
be paid out Of the repaving fund of the
city and not by assessment upon abut-
ting property. This legislation fol-
lowed a construction placed upon eX-
listing statutes by the Corporation
Counsel. that it was necessary before
the city could assume the cost Of main
tenance. such as paving
The bill providing that the city
should recognize these pavements by
the purchasers when first passed by
the Legislature and sent to Mayor
Mitchell was vetoed by him. The rea-
son given for his veto was a fear that
the city might be compelled to take
poorly constructed streets and also
might have to take over all the streets
improved by municipalities in the city
