the United States of the belligerency of
various anti-Carranza revolutionary fac

the setting UP of a provisional coalition
government was presented at the White

Charges Against Carranza.
Charging President Carranza with
having constituted himself "irrespon-
sible dictator of Mexico; with having
by his illegal and despotic confisca-
ton of foreign-owned properties and
the murder of many hundreds OF for
eign citizens brought about imni-
nance Of American Intervention; with
having aligned himself first with
fadicalism and later with the German
cause against the allies. and with
having made Mexico prey of the most
cruel and brutal tyranny our country
has had to endure in all the past CEN
ttlfy OF its efforts toward freedom"
the appeal proposes a conference of
all the revolutionary factions with
representatives of the United States
for the purpose Of formulating a pro-
gram of Reconstruction and restora-
ton of Mexico"
According to an official statement
reaching Washington today from
Mexico City. Mexico's public debt is
$s0D, 0e0. 900. instead of the $264,7s6.-
042.63. as officially proclaimed in paid
advertisements in American news
papers.
This new total is admitted by Luis
Cabrera, secretary of the treasury in
President Carranzas cabinet. Off
Gals. Of the State Department were
greatly interested in Cabrera's state
ment, constituting as it does an adj
mission of greater debt than has
heretofore been admitted by any Mex

Big Rail Order.
An order for 100000 tons of steel

ues will more than likely be followed
by the placing of large orders
Absence of orders from the railroads
has been the chief handicap of the,

the business of today being from rail-
roads where ordinarily their demands
absorb six times as large a produc-
ton.
