These are the first thirteen of Lex lngton's young men to respond to the call for enlistments for service in the National Guard after the President of the United States had ordered the boys to the colors, prepared to defend the flag and honor of our country and protect the safety of her borders against all foes. This list was com piled early yesterday morning and it is very likely that numbers or otners have responded by press time. Com pany "A" stood at about seventy mem bers at this time, the minimum .war strength being 65 and the full strength 145. Captain Jas. A. Leonard is anx ious that at least a hundred men be In the ranks within the next day or two and would gladly welcome enough to make the full war strength. Lexington has reason to be proud of the Rifles because of the splendid record made when Adjutant General Young wired out the order to assem ble Monday morning. If there was another company in the Third Regi ment or the state that beat Lexington it has not been heard from. From what could be learned yesterday it appeared that Captain Leonard and his boys were leading all the Tar Heel soldiers in prompt readiness. Gener al Young gave them honorable men tion in his statement to the press Mon day night. After they had assembled in the Armory, rolled their blankets and tent equipment, brightened their bay onets and got in full uniform, the company engaged in drill ejcerclses on Main street In the afternoon. It may. truly be said that they had never been watched with quite the , same Keen interest, ana proDaoiy never naa they made quite such a gallant show ing. The boys are on edge and are . anxiously awaiting the order to move ' on to Morehead City tor mobolixation , of all the state troops. This may be "several days yet. although averfts nay happen so thick and fast in Mexico that their going will De nastenea. in the meantime eveTy legitimate effort wiif be made to increase the size of the company. The call to the colors Monday morn ing did not create great excitement, although Interest was keen all through the day and Mexico and the Guards men were the absorbing topic of con versation. Nearly all the boys re sponded very Quickly and anxiously. Tbey are ready at any minute to heed their country's call ana all believe that they will do faithful service. Major Wade H.

Fill out and mail the Information blank found on this page and send it to The Dispatch offlcs.SAll informa tion will be gladly sent you free of any cost. , The first car according to size and power considered is the seven passenger, six cylinder Studebaker, purchased f$tm the Shaw Cox Motor Company of Lexington. -It is a machine that has set the TOaTltloj' automobiles m its class. t'Tt duplicates. 4&$ Jatest . im- , provemenU found in machines of twice its cost and 'torn, beauty of design and for utility nothing in its class approaches It, This is the motor ear that will be given to the person who gathers the largest vote credit during the time the distribution covers. The second automobile to be given away Is the' world re nowned Overland. A five passenger four cylinder car with a rep utation for service second to none in the world.

The present output of the factory proper is more than a thou sand cars a day. This is proof sufficient of the popularity of this automobile. The person who acquires this machine will certainly be well repaid for the little time spent In making collections for The Dinpatch. Of course, no list of cars would be complete without the au tomobile which has been the special cause for the big reduction in price of motor cars, the car without a competitor. A five passeng er Ford machine has been purchased from Foy & Shemwell and will be given free to the person who declares his or her right to It through the sufficient vote credit obtained by collecting subscrip tions for The Dispatch.

VEHICLES NOT TO STOP AT IN TERSECTION OF STREETS. Section 8. No vehicle shall be stop ped upon any crossing or cross walk James R. Allen Charges False Impris- . onment on Order of Col. J. T. Gardner at Charlotte. Papers have been sent to Shelby to be served upon Col. J. T. Gardner, of the First Regiment North Carolina National Guard, giving notice that suit will be filed against him by James R. Allen, of Lexington. The charge Is false arrest and Imprisonment by members of the National Guard act ing upon order of Colonel Gardner. Col. Gardner is cited to appear at the August term of superior court of Dav idson county and make answer to the complaint, which is in process of pre paration. The suit to be brought will be an interesting one, in that it may deter mine Just where civil and martial rights meet. Allen was arrested and placed in jail at Charlotte on the night of May 19th, and it is alleged that he was placed in an inner cell and re mained there for fifteen hours. Ac cording to his story of the occurrence, he was ordered placed under arrest when he refused to obey the orders of Col. Gardner, but says that he ex plained that he was not a member of any company of the National Guard. He was in uniform, but he says he told the colonel it was his own uniform. which he had a right to wear by rea son of the fact that he had been out of the regular army, where he was a corporal, for les than thirty days. Allen says he went to Charlotte that afternoon with the local company, his principal business, h says, being that he wished to apply for the position as regimental bugler. Accoding to his story, on the night of the arrest he had been away from the vicinity of the regular guardsmen and had re turned and found he could not be ac commodated at the barracks. In the meantime disorder had occurred around the carnival grounds and a guard line had been established. He says he was in the act of passing this, on his way up to town to secure a place to sleep and eat, when he was take in custody. The other side of the story is not available here, if there be another side to it. It .is understood, however, Allen was charged with disrespect to superior officer and with disobedience to orders. Governor Craig, it Is un derstood, had personally directed that the guard take charge of matters at the carnival ground. Allen claims that he was several miles away when the disturbance there occurred. Colonel Gardner Is one of the best known and popular men In the Na tional Guard In the state. He has sev eral times been mayor of Shelby, and Is a brother of North Carolina's next Henteoaat .waTnWe4fervPtJ uaraner. The call of the National Guard to service may complicate the progress of the suit. NATIONAL GUARD CHLElJ., ;V President Summons Mqrt Than lOflW 000 Hen to Anns to Deal With ' Mexican Situation. ' Orders were issued Sunday night by President Woodrow Wilson, as commander-in-chief of the army and navy of the United States, summoning all the men of the National Guard of all the states In the Union to come to the colors at once. This action was brought about by the increasing diffi culties of the Mexican situation. Gen eral Carranza several days ago posi tively demanded that the United States troops In Mexico be withdrawn. Pres ident Wilson has been preparing a note telling Senor Carranza in terms still more positive that there must be some order In Mexico before the troops we have sent there will ever be withdrawn. He demands the abso lute protection of our national bolder and safety of our citizens in the low er republic. For the past few days hostile dem onstrations have been frequent in Mexico. Another raiding party laat week crossed the border and killed several of our troops. A manifesto was handed our commanders forbid ding them to follow the "hot trail" with American troops, but they went ahead and followed the trail. A land ing party of marines at Mazatlan on the west coast was attacked, one des perately wounded and two captured. A number of Mexicans were slain. Yesterday morning a body of Mexi cans were reported to be marching for an attack on Del Rio, Texas. The state of Yucatan has already declared war on the United States, declares a press report from that place. Through out Mexico comes reports that the "greasers" are being called to arms and fiery speeches of antagonism to this country are being made by Car ranza leaders. There may be a way out of the difficulty without actual warfare, but up until yesterday Wash ington officials had not seen any such way, except the complete backdown of Carranza in the demands he has made and his control of his troops. In a speech at Mexico City Monday he told the populace that he hoped to avoid war, but that if his honor de manded it he would lead his troops in person. The National Guard called to tnet colors by the president numbers more than 100,000, and from all over the nation came the news Monday night that throughout the day men every where were flocking to the recruiting stations to enlist and .bring the com panies up to their full strength. The response in a number of North Caro lina towns was very encouraging, es pecially In Lexington, Thomasville, High, Point and Kaieigu, At Thomas ville there"wag good YesptmBw Moaa Fire at ML Gllead.
