Food Conditions
in Mexico City
Hungry Searching For Food. Mobs
Of Women Parade Streets,
Looting Bakeries

Mexico City, July 26.-Conditlons
in the capital today continue to be
desperate. Thousands of hungry
wander about the streets searching
for food which is not obtainable be.
cause merchants refuse to take pa
per money.
Gen. Gonzales decree nulllfy'ng
the fifty million dollar issue in ,ircu-
lation when he entered the city has
not been followed by an issue Of new
money. Yesterday mobs of women
paraded the streets looting bakeries,
markets and pastry shops until they
were dispersed by streams Of water
from fire hose.
Gen. Villela and seven other Zap
alta officers were executed yesterday
on charges of rebellion. Gov. Here
ra, his staff and a number of other
officers are awaiting courtmartisl on
the same charges.
The American relief committee Is
unable to relieve the distress of
starving Mexicans and needy Ameri-
cans although 1t has thousands of
dollars, because it cannot buy food,
oil or other necessities because OF
the scarcity and the uncertainty of
the money situation. Virtually all
places of business are closed. The
city is full of rumors concerning the
approach of Villa and Zapata forces
and there has been almost continu-
GUS fighting in the suburbs.
Appeal For Relief
A mass meeting of representatives
of the foreign colonies was held to-
day and an appeal for relief and pro.
lection was issued to the government
and to the people of the United
States. The appeal which will be
forwarded to Washington, says 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-
ton, on behalf of all foreign resi-
dents in Mexico, and the great ma
jority Of Mexicans who are suffering
indescribable hardships through prev
alent conditions of want, disorder and
violence.
President Wilson's recent warning
| to the Mexican leaders that their diff.
I ferences must be composed within a
very short time has gone unheeded
and conditions steadily are growing
worse. No Red Cross supplies ex'
cept medicines have arrived here
Even people with money cannot buy
food. There has been looting of
markets and shops resulting in death
| from the fire of the soldiers. The
city's supply of water is shut off
| Counties thousands are suffering from
hunger; supplies are cut off; com
merce and industries are paralyzed
Stores have been closed for a week
awaiting announcement as to money
acceptable.
Fresh reports have been received
by the committee of murders, robber
les and outrages against foreigners
as well as Mexicans throughout the
country. IN despair We again appeal
for relief for suffering, starving Mex
leo, powerless to save herself in the
agony offspring. supplied with arms
and ammunition from the United
States, the country to which unarm
ed Mexico looks for salvation -

ST. LOUIS FLOOD.

St. Louis, Mo. Aug. 23.-St. Louis County was recovering today from the third flood which has descended upon this community is an many days a flood that cost 12 lives-possibly many more, destroyed more than a million dollars worth of property, and made 2,c0O families homeless. iWeseve deaths had been reported to the coroner this morning and almost a hundred persons were listed as mis- sing. Rivermen fear the falling of the Meramec River today may disclose a heavy toll of human lives. They also said the bodies of many of the drown ed probably would be washed into the Mississippi river carried down stream and might not be recovered soon because of the mass of flood debris now in the river, and of it's unusually strong current.

PRACTICE REAL WARFARE
Trio of Young Men Engage in Battle,
 Using Coblestones.

Evidently preparing for the stearn work of real war, three young men be- came involved in a battle on the rail- road tracks near the Stanley, Rule and Level annex south of Park street this noon. It was a case of two aginst one and what appeared at first to be a mild fistic skirmish soon de- veloped into a triangular fight with stones as weapons.
 Without regards for the possibili- ties of broken heads they lent their young arms with a will to the struggle and bystanders observed neutrality and kept out wary eye for misdi- rected missiles. The fight terminated when the single combatant stopped a stone with his leg. The battling ones evidently were not satisfied with results as they parted with mutual threats as to what will happen when next they meet.
