How Mexicans Regards the War.

Asked to discuss the disposition of
the Mexican people toward the United
States. with special reference to the
war, Mr.. Douglas replied:
In attempting to answer this ques-
tion l cannot and do not undertake to
speak either for the government or the
people of Mexico.
1T is my personal opinion. based on
my duty and observations during my
attitude, both of the government and
the people, is one of benevolent rather
than strict neutrality toward the
United States and the entente powers
The government may conclude. al
though I do not know, that 1t should
continue officially to be neutral
strictly neutral-but that the people
actual sympathy with the cause of
democracy. and therefore with the
United States, 1 have no doubt.
There has been, and still is. some
anti-Arerican sentiment in Mexico.
hut there is very little pro-German
sympathy there. The anti-American
feeling is rapidly disappearing.
within the past thirty days has been
marked and rapid. While l was in
prominenf and influential members in
both the senate and chamber of depu-
ties. declaring for a pro-ally policy
and for severing diplomatic relations
with Germany. I was informed that
three-fourths of the two houses were
and are in favor of the passage of
these resolutions.

views of the trend of things interna-
tional in our sister republic to the

Financial Situation Discussed.

Turning to the financial situation, in
response to questions as to how much
Mexico Is suffering from lack of an
adequate circulating medium, and her
other financial problems. Mr.. Douglas
continued:
Mexico Is suffering greatly because
OF the scarcity of money purely as a
circulating medium. A year ago Mexico
had nothing but deprecated paper
currency-no gold or silver at that time
being In circulation. Less than a year
ago. when the paper money became
worthless, 1t naturally and Inevitably
went out of circulation wholly, and
then gold and silver came from out
their hiding places. and overnight the
money of Mexico changed from all pa
per to all metallic money. until now
there IL in circulation in Mexico moth
ing but gold and silver.
TT il generally estimated that there
Is in circulation in Mexico gold and
silver not in -rcess of $s per capita,
which is less tLAn one-fourth Of the per
capita circulation that is needed. and
the result Is that everything there Is
high-very high
The recent order of the United States
Secretary of the Treasury and the Fed
eral Reserve Board permitting the ship
ment Of gold into Mexico, $4,000. 600 for
the month of October. $5.0oo.o00 for
the month Of November and $4,000. 900

Mexico City Conditions.

Relative to conditions in Mexico City.
the attitude of the population there
and especially of the foreign element
toward the present government, Mr..
Douglas commented as follows:
The present population in the Cap
ital is abnormally large. There are
perhaps a million people there at this
time-nearly double the normal popu-
lation. 1t Is as difficult to rent store
or house or an apartment in Mexico
City as 1t is in Washington. Consid-
ering the congestion of people and the
Heterogeneous elements there, order is
80 good that 1t is noteworthy. For in
stance, President CarranZa goes every
day from the castle at Chapultepec to
the National Palace, distance of two
and half or three miles, without a
guard or secret service man in attend
ance on him.
eat first the people Of the city-and ]
have especially in mind the foreign ele-
ment-were opposed to the new order
of things, but now there is general ac-
Quiescence, with an increasing disposi-
ton to support the government. They
have criticisms to make and many OF
them. and some Of them are doubtless
just, but all the people with whom ]
talked. particularly the business men.
expressed confidence in the integrity
and high purposes Of the President, and
deprecated the thought of a change
with or without another revolution.

Charles A. Douglas, counselor in the
United States for the Mexican govern
ment, who returned to Washington this
week after q months stay in Mexico,
having gone there to confer with Off
cials and study conditions, today gave
to The Star description of the eco
nomic, political and industrial situation
In the republic.
Commenting on the present state of
order throughout Mexico, MIR. Douglas
said:
Order is being slowly but surely re-
stored. Barring occasional train rob
berries and small sore spots in the
states of Morales and Durango, condi-
tions are approaching the normal
everywhere The general denloraliza-
tion that inevitably follows in the
wake of civil strife has not yet wholly
disappeared. Indispesition to work.
and. in places. inability to get work,
added to the destruction of many thou
sand acres OF corr. by the recent Octo-
her frosts. make troubles enough for
the government and the country, but
the authorities are braveiy and intelli-
gently facing these and the other prob
way to satisfactory solution.
All Courts Reorganized.
'sThe courts. federal and state. are
reorganized and fully equipped. and

functions The recently and intelli-
gently revised system of education is

Praises Ambassador Fletcher.

TOO much cannot be said of the
splendid and effective work of Am
bassador Fletcher. He Is winning golden
opinions from Mexicans and Americans
alike. He has convinced the Mexican
people that he. like President Wilson,
IS a sincere friend of Mexico. I say
like President Wilson because do not
believe that there is Mexican in
Mexico who has not an abiding faith
in the disinterestedness and earnest
friendship of the President of the

"Any kind of statement of the
financial problems of Mexico would

to talk on Thursday evening to the
Washington Chapter of Bank Clerks
on that subject, but may be permit
ted to make several observations:
"1). That Mexico financed her re-
cent revolution wholly from within,

"(2). She is in arrears in the pay
ment of interest and her sinking tund
obligations growing out of her ex-
terror and interior bonded indebted
ness, and she will have to make provi-
sion to meet and discharge these over

pay.

my opinion. to undertake the reflnanc-

gressed, and when the American and

ors, all of which have been duly
returned into court. We also in
vestigated several other cases in
which the evidence did not, in
our judgment, warrant the find

A committee of our body ex-
amined the Records of the va.
rious County officers and found
the books kept in a neat and
systematic manner. We did not

boose at Hope and found it in a

Our attention has been called
to certain irregularities in the
election held in this county in
August, 1914. We have examined
into this in very meagre way
and have found that some parties
that were reported to have voted
without the payment of poll tax
es, appear to have paid their poll
taxes We find that some ne
groes and ignorant persons that
evidently were the victims of
designing or unscrupulous per-
sons who have either induced
them to vote or permitted them
to vote were possibly to blame.
We base our opinion simply upon
the fact that these persons were
either ignorant or negroes. How
ever, we, as grand jury believe
that this should not go unchal-
lenged. We desire here to con-
dem this act as strongly as it is
in our power to do, and suggest
that in the future, if such prac
tice is indulged in that it not only
be condemned but that every
person responsible for it be
prosecuted to the fullest extent,
and this Grand Jury has passed
it simply for the reason that
