PLACING MEXICO ON A
 STRICTLY GOLD BASIS

Mexico City, Wednesday, Nov. 1S.- President Carranza today signed a de- cree, which will be published Thurs day, reforming the monetary system of Mexico by placing it on a strictly gold basis.
 The recent monetary crisis was Fcaused by the exportation of silver half peso pieces, which, as the result of the high price of silver, were worth more as bullion than as coin. i Business has been seriously handi- capped for fortnight by the scarcity of change. Under the new decree peso l and half peso pieces will be coined
 with less silver in them, making their 1. exportatien profitless.
