and Prospects OF Relief Indefinite
Many Starving.

Mexico City, July 17.-(By Wireless
to New Orleans, July 23.)-Condi-
tions in the Mexican Capital have
become more desperate in the last
few days and a state of anarchy
reigns here. There has been much
rioting and looting of stores inside
the city. Prospects for the relief Of
half a million people are indefinite.
The attempts Of Carranzas army to
hold the capital have collapsed.
The isolated foreigners of all ma
tionalities have issued an appeal to
the United States for relief in the
desperate situation. Food and even
water and light virtually are unob-
tainable and starvation among the
population of the city is growing.
Money is practically worthless be-
cause Of the inability of the inhabi-
tants to purchase food and other ne
ceSsities here.

ports to Europe under an agreement
with the British government has been
proposed informally to the State de-

tribuung among producers such cot
ton trade as Great Britain and her
allies permit Americans to carry on
with neutral countries without inter-
ference on the high seas.
Any arrangements of this kind
would have to be made directly be-
tween the British government and the
cotton interests without participation
or approval by the state department.
Officials point out that to accede to
any restrictions on trade between neu-
tral countries in non-contra band
would mean abandonment Of the
principle Of freedom Of the seas laid
down In various notes to Great Brit
ain. which Is to be stated, with greater
insistence In another communication
now in preparation.
IL has been suggested that pending
differences between the two countries
American officials might aid the cot
ton shippers and exporters informal
ly in any effort they might make to
facilitate their trade. 1t was an

would be willing to enter into an
agreement not to interfere with cot
