New York, May 3.-BilIy Sunday eAiked to the students of New York University yesterday in the chapel of the university. His address was made up mostly of homeiy precepts and good advice, interspersed with humor- ous anecdotes which evoked frequent outbursts of laughter.

 When you get out of here you will be dumbfounded to find how much you don't know, and at the same time you will find that much of what you have learned is of inestimable value to you.

HUNGER TO MAKE
 MEXICO AN ALLY
 OF THIS COUNTRY
Starvation Price For Corr Makes U. s. Embargo
 Perilous.

Monterey. Mexico. May s.-Food conditions here are growing more desperate daily, and it is difficult to see how many of the people, already near starvation, are to get enongh to eat to keep them alive.
 It has been extremely dry here for several months and the country gen-s orally Is burning up There can be, no first crop of corn as it is nearly the first of May, and none has been planted except on the irrigated lands. without this first corn crop the number dying of starvation, already an appalling total, must necessarily greatly increase, especially if prices advance in the United States or that government prohibits the exportation of foodstuffs except to it's allies.
 Just now corn, which Is the staple food for all classes, is selling at $2.25 a bushe1, which is considerably more than twice its former price. t
 While this country has been. de- pendent on importations from the United States of flour. soap, grocer les and many other necessities, 1t is just now dependent also on northern corn. hean& sugHro and many other commodftiesx not before 1on the list.

 The lack of labor is going to be the greatest barrier to the return of normal cepdtt4pns AAfhis country In- dustries and 2arr4af tie idle and for want of men must remain idle.
 The labor problem will be further of available workers, small as it is, will be seriously Iessened by the great demand for labor in the. United States, which, with the certainty and safety of employment there will draw many from here.
 Another matter that is troubling thoughtful Mexicans is the financial situati D. They see no chance for Mexico to receive financial assistance while neutral" and without finan- cial assistance in large amounts the country cannot hold her own but must fail.
 Apparently the government is bas- ing it's hope on the liquidation of the banks of issue. It is said there vii be a new issue of paper money ir place of the, bank bills, as of the Unico Banco9 de Emission; in other words, a government bank issue an6 a return to flat currency.
 This would be the result, as the government has not the necessar, money to make the prospective cur. rency redeemable. If it did have there would be no need for the new issue
