Monetary Problem and Food Short
age Brings Trouble
FIRST HANDS REPORTS TO U. 5.
Mexican Officials More Friendly to
U. S. Since Scott-Obregon
Conference-Strike On
Railroads

Washington, May 23.-The econ
omic situation in Mexico is extreme
ly grace, according to official ad-
vices to the state department. With
the monetary problem already acute
the food shortage in Mexico and
vicinity continuing without prospect
of any immediate relief and with
the labor strike extending over vir-
tually all the Mexican railway lines,
the defacto government is pictured
as facing a serious domestic plight.
Consul Letcher, from Chihuahua
City, is en- route to Washington,
probably bringing with him reports
of five other consuls recently or
dered to the border to talk over
conditions with military officers
there.
While reports as to the domestic
situation of the Carranza govern
ment are gloomy, the attitude of
Mexican officials towards the Unit
ed States has been described as
more friendly since the border con-
ference between Generals Scott and
Obregon.

Southbury, Dec. 2.-Charles S. Brown, aged 76, who lived alone, was found dead in his cowpen today by a neighbor who had called to see how he was. Death probably had come last evening for pigs, which had had access to the pen, had eaten off one arm and hand.
 Medical Examiner Samuel Green is ill and it was necessary to take Mr. Browns body to the formers home to be viewed. pr. Green said death was undoubtedly due to apoplexy. It is thought an autopsy may be held as some persons had a suspicion that marks on the body might have been caused by persons entering the house. Decision on this point will be left with Deputy Coroner Monzani at Wa terbury. The body marks have been due to abrasions made by the swine

Both Trying to Outflank Other-Latter Claim Vic- tory in Fight for Footing on Tchernav0da Bridge.

Indications point to the probability that two fanking operations on a large scale are in progress on the Ru manian front. The one apparently is intended by the Russians to save King Ferdinand's armies and possibly his capital, and the other by the Teutonic allies to force the evacuation of Bu- charest and cut off the troops defend ing it.
 Having assembled what seems to be a huge force along the range of the lower Carpathians, the Russians are pressing a great offensive on a front of approximately 25O miles, running along the western frontier of the Ru- manian province of Moldavia and ex- tending northwest along the Bukow- ina border. Already they are declared to have scored such successes as to lead to expectations that the supply lines of General Won Falkenhayn's ar mics invading Rumania from the north may shortly be seriously men, aced.
 The threat to the Rumanians comes from Field Marshal Won Mack ensen on the southeast. Controlling virtually the entire course of the Danube as far as Tchernavoda, as they do the Teutonic allies, it has been pointed out, seemed likely to at tempt throwing forces across it at

New Blood Needed to Prosecute War Premier Asouith Going, Man
 chester Guardian Says.

London, Dec 1:26 p. m.-Rumor is still busy with reports of changes in the cabinet. or at any rate in. the war council, as a result of the agitation for more forceful conduct of the war. The general impression is that a smaller war council. with the infu- sion of new blood, is contemplated, but nothing definite has yet been an- nounced.
 Premier Aspuith had conference with the king this morning. but whether it had to do With contemplat- ed changes in the administration or with the program which the house of commons will face next week is problematical.
 Cabinet changes involving the resig- nation of Premier Asquith are pre- dicted by the Manchester Guardian in an article in today's issue on the cur rent rumors respecting political changes.
