oral Pershing from San Luis Potosi t<»-(
\ day great food riots are occuring in
practicall> all of the larger Mexican
cities and the authorities an- having
j much trouble.
The report dorlutvs that tin n is an
obvious change in tin- sentiment of tie ‘
Mexicans toward the Americans in San ;
Luis Potosi since tie food stringenev h
came seven- and tin starving people at.

American entry would tend to relieve tin
sit nation. This remarkable change is dc
e la red to have been recently evidenced
in striking manner when a great crowd
ot starving Mexican women stormed tin- j
governor's palace demanding food and1
loiidl.v shouting “Viva (Jringos" It is
aeeepted here that the change in senti
ment is largely due to the American
forces having provided rations for tin
starving inhabitants of several villages
in the neighborhood of the American
camps.
