and other necessities were also
borne down in price by Carranza's

There has been no rioting in Mex

New Orleans. Nov. 24.-Mexicau
Money, which has long been some
thing of standing joke, has at last
come into its own in the cities and
provinces controlled by Carranza
and the First Chief. holding that the
United States governments recogni'
ton is guarantee enough for any.
body, has issued the proclamation
that pesos and "centavos," and
other funny looking bills and scraps
of paper representing monetary val
ue, must be received by merchants
and other people with things to sell,
as legal tender.
This bit of interesting information
was given out by Mrs. Gertrude
Smith, an American lady. with big
interests in the revolution-rent re-
public. justup from Mexico City.
Mrs. Smith is at the St. Charles Ho-
tel and is on her way to San Fran
cisco. AS she states it herself, she
was one Of the very few Americans
who stayed through it ALL" and
she has lived in the Mexican capital
five strenuous years during the re-
gimes of Diaz. Madero, Huerta. Zapi-
tista and Carranza.
The action of the United States
in recognizing Carranza had almost
immediate results in the capital"
Mrs. Smith said. land restored con-
fidence in an amazing manner. Car
rama, who must have been expect
ing the recognition and was setting
his house in order against it's COM
ing, had things we'll in hand.
He is man Of ability and has
men surrounding him as advisers
who are. in q measure, able. l think
that il he is let alone, and given as
sistance, he will rehabilitate things
and bring about conditions as near
ly normal as possible after SO many
years of war and pillage.
'tCarranza relieved the conditions
Of distress and abject want among
the people and opened up the rail-
roads SO as to get supplies to the
city. And then, after recognition by
the United States. he issued the Or
der that merchants should accept
Mexican money. Orders issued in
Mexico by the First Chief are gen.
orally obeyed. and. while some of
the merchants grumbled and COM
planned, none refused to accept the
coin Of the realm The order, in
effect, worked wonders and condi-
lions Of distress were almost i'm
relieved. The people had
the Mexican money In abundance,
but very little gold or American
which amounts to the same
thing. and they bought plentifully Of
-four, grain, meat and other supplies
which had so long been denied them.
And they went even further than
this and, to prevent q recurrence of
close to famine conditions, he fixed

the merchants had to respect. re-
