VOL. XXXVIII. PITTSBORO, CHATHAM COUNTY; N. C, JUNE 28, 1916. NO. 47. mtt WILSON ORDERS TO RELEASE PRISONERS; 15,000 TROOPS TO BORDER LANSING DISPATCHES NOTE TO CARRANZA President Wilson Summoned Foreign Affairs Committee Heads to White House for Sunday Night Conference on Mexican Situation. NOTE IS RECEIVED FROM DE FACTO GOVERNMENT States That Carrizal Fight Was Direct Result of Soldiers Moving Other wise Than Towards the Border as Ordered by Carranza and Communi cated to General Pershing. 38,000 MILITIAMEN IN EAST GO IN CAMPS New York. More than 38,000 of the 128,000 National Guards men of the Department of the East, comprising 22 states east of the Mississippi and District of Columbia, were in mobiliza tion camps Sunday night, six days after the call was issued, according to the report forward ed to the War Department by Major General Wood, command ing the department. Of this number Massachusets contribu ted 8,000 and New Jersey 5,000. Washington. A demand for the im mediate release of the American troop ers taken prisoner at Carrizal coupled with a stern notification that the Unit ed States expects an early statement of the purposes of the Carranza Gov ernment was telegraphed to Mexico City by Secretary Lansing. The note discloses that the State Department received a communication from the de facto Government stating that the Carrizal fight was the direct result of orders to attack American soldiers moving otherwise than to wards the border personally issued by General Carranza to General Trevino and by the latter communicated to General Pershing. In reply Secretary Lansing requires that the de facto Government transmit a definite statement "as to the course of action it has determined upon," through the usual diplomatic channels, 'and not through subordinate military officers'." The Mexican communication is con strued, Secretary Lansing states, "as a formal avowal of deliberately hos tile action against the forces of the United States now in Mexico and of the purpose to attack without provo cation whenever they move from their present position despite the friendly mission on which they are engaged and which is re-affirmed in the Amer ican rejoinder. White House Conference. General Carranza is required to place himself on record formally and U.g pirn intimation lies behind the restrained language of Mr. Lansing's communication that force will be met with force. Apparently, however, the Washington Government is determin ed that the de facto Government shall not evade responsibility before the world if war is forced upon the United States. The note and the military situation of the United States were talked over at the White House by the President with Chairman Stone, of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Lodge, ranking Republican member, and Chairman Flood of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. Rep resentative Cooper, ranking minority member of tfce House Committee, was out of the city. After the conference which lasted more than an hour, Senator Stone said the situation was "exceedingly acute." The President had felt it necessary to acquaint Congress with the state of affairs and the action taken, through the Foreign Affairs Committee. It was indicated ISiat he might desire to address a joint ses sion of the House and Senate in a day or two, but would no take this final step until the Mexican Govern ment had been given an opportunity to reply. Warlike Says Stone. The President told those at the con ference of the note from General Car ranza avowing the attack on Ameri can troops at Carrizal, and of the re ply that he had directed to be sent. Senator Stone was very emphatic afterwards in regard to the demand for release of the prisoners. "We must have those ,men," he said solemnly. The Senator made no effort to hide his own belief that war virtually is here A final report from General Pershing was necessary, he said, in (in order that a clear knowledge of what had happened at Carrizal should be at hand. "But if they are going to attack our men without cause, he said, "there is only one thing to do. We will never have peace down there until we use force enough to compel it." There is reason to believe that the military situation may be influencing the Administration's diplomatic course, as well as the desire to make it clear to the world and particularly to the Latin-American Nations that the Unit ed States is being forced into warlike measures by hostility of General Car ranza. The War Department Is making every effort to speed up mobilization of the National Guard. A few com panies have been mustered in. Others will take the oath at once. In 48 hours, probably, a substantial force will be en route to the border to back up General Funston's line. Must First Be Ready. It may be four or five days, how ever, before War Department officials would feel safe in withdrawing regu lars from the border patrol to form the cutting edge of whatever force they may hurl to the support of Gen eral Pershing's column, should aggres sive action be ordered. It seems doubtful that a formal dip lomatic rupture will be forced before adequate military precautions are pos sible, particularly as it has been indi cated that quick, drastic action, is President Wilson's desire should Gen eral Carranza force the use of the army against him. Mr. Wilson's visitors sought light on these questions. Specific figures were not available as to the garrisons at various border towns, the number of guardsmen who have responded to the President's call, or the time that would be required to get the entire force to the border. These details have been left to the War Department and Secretary Baker was not present at the conference. The general situ ation was presented, however, and J there is reason to suppose that the For eign Affairs Committeemen opproved the President's course. No Talk of Mediation. One fact as to the conference is significant. There was no discussion of the possibility of mediation. The subject was not mentioned either by the President or his callers, Senator Stone said. This statement came in the face of a formal notification to Eliseo Arre dondo, Mexican ambassador designate, by his government, that it approved the principle of mediation as pro posed by seceral Latin-American countries. Mr. Arrendondo expected early authorization to begin conversa tions with his Latin-American col leagues here, in an effort to divert the crisis to peaceful channels. There was no indication that any diplomat had attempted to sound Sec retary Lansing in this respect. It Is known, however, that he holds that the United States has noth ing to mediate since its only object is the protection of . its own borders. He has formally notified all Latin American diplomats that the Washing ton government has no aggresive pur pose toward Mexico, but is rAWlved to .free its citizens along the border of the danger of bandit raids. BRINGING A LETTER TO PRESIDENT WILSON Paris. A Madrid dispatch to The Temps quotes The Imparcial as re porting that President Wilson will re ceive a message from the German Em peror in the same manner as did King Alfonso. This statement is included in n interview which the representa tives of The Imparcial had with the German naval attache, von Krohn, who declared that the bringing of let ters of the King of Spain by a German submarine could not affect Spanish neutrality, which the Germans respect. The Spanish newspapers, the dis patch adds, demand that the govern ment take measures to prevent a repe tition of the submarine incident. Presents Mediation Offer. Washington Ignacio Calderon, min ister from Bolivia, acting on the be half of several South and Central American republics, has presented to Secretary Lansing an offer already ac cepted "in principle" by General Car ranza to mediate in the crisis with Mexico. SOME MARYLAND GUARDS HAVE A "YELLOW STREAK. Baltimore. About 140 mem bers of the Maryland National Guard in camp at Laurel refus ed to take the oath containing the three years reserve clause. Several of them were banded together and strips of yellow tied to their uniforms. They were marched through the com pany street, while their com rades yelled "see the yellow streak in them!" i " , i , LEFT TO DIE, WAKES WAY TO 0. S. T AMERICAN CAPTAIN SENDS LET TER TO PERSHING DESCRIB ING CARRIZAL AMBUSH. FIRST SURVIVORS TELL OF BATTLE AT CARRIZAL Captain Lewis Sidney Morey of the Tenth Cavalry Wires His Wife That He is Safe on the American Line of Soldiers. San Antonio, Texas. Left to die of loss of blood and thirst, two miles from the scene of the encounter be tween Mexican and American troops at Carrizal, Capt. Lewis Sydney Morey of the Tenth Cavalry has made back to the American lines. General Funston received by tele phone from Mrs. Morey, now at Austin, Tex., the following message which reached her by wireless from the field: , "Somewhere in Mexico. Am back on the line with two men, safe. "SYDNEY." That, according to Mrs. Morey, was the manner in which Captain Morey signed all communications to her. A letter from Captain Morey written while hiding in a hole near the scene of the fight at Carrizal, after his men had been broken and scattered by the Mexican force, was received by General Funston through General Pershing. Letter Tells of Ambush. In that letter Captain Aiorey had described how, fearing an ambush, the American troopers had advanced in battle formation on the Mexicans who had come out from Carrizal dur ing a parely over permission for the Americans to pass through the town; how the Mexicans had opened fire, and how the remaining Americans had been forced to retreat and scat ter, each for himself. Army officers here hope that the return of Captain Morey will serve to provide the mis sing links in the story of the encount er at Carrizal and determine the fate of each member of the little recon noitering expedition. How Captain Morey managed to make his way to the American main column, a distance of more than 80 miles, is unknown here, but it is in ferred he was picked up by a de tachment of the rescuing force sent out by General Pershing. He was without food or water in a desert country and it is believed his suffer ings must have been intense. Noth ing to confirm rumors of a clash be tween Pershing's men and the Carran zistas was received by eeneral Fun ston tonight and all was reported quiet along the border. Left to Die in Desert. Captain Morey wrote his letter at 9:15 a. m., June 21, while hiding in a hole about 2,000 yards from the scene of the battle. Captain Morey was wounded and had another wound ed man with him. The three un wounded men were picked up by a detachment under Lieut. Henry A. Meyer, Jr., of the Tenth Cavalry and the letter brought to General Persh ing today. Captain Morey was left to die upon the desert from thirst and his wounds. The men abandoned him at his own orders. The three unwounded men had carried him, according to their stories, to Lieut. Meyer from the hole where he had hidden and made their way nearly two miles from the bat tlefield. They were forced to stop and Cap tain Morey, , believing himself hopej lessly wounded, ordered them to leave him. They also thought him about to die from loss of blood and thirst and obeyed. Vague About Details. The stories of the rescued men told to Lieut. Meyer were vague about the details of the fight, according to Gen Pershing's report to Gen. Funston. Captain Morey's letter told of the joining of Troop C under Captain Charles T. Boyd and Troop K under his own command at OJo Santo Do mingo, June 20, and the advance to gether toward Carrizal June 21. He arrived in an open field a mile from Carrizal at 7:35 in the morning. There they halted and Captain Boyd tent a courier into Carrizal asking permission of General Felix Gomez to enter the town, saying he was go ing to Villa Ahumada. Gomez re plied that he would not be allowed to enter the town, but might make a detour around it. Fearing that they were about to be trapped by the Mexicans which had sallied out from the town during the parely, the American troops deployed in battle formation, mounted and moved forward. The Mexicans then opened fire. Captain Boyd ordered his men to dismount and return the fire, the engagement lasting about an aour. Captain Morey's Letter. Following is the text of Moray's letter: 'Carrizal, Mexico, June 21, 1916, 1:15 a. m. To commanding officer. Ojo Frederico: My troop reached Ojo Santo Domingto at 5:30 p. m., MORE ROUPS New Attack Ordered By General Trevino ; Troops Must Move Back Chihuahua City, Mexico. American columns have been seen ad vancing from the American field base in the direction of San Antonio and Ojo Caliente, and General Jacinto Trevino has issued orders to attack them if they do not immediately retreat. General Trevion said the Americans would get the same treatment that they received at Carrizal, as he was determined to carry out his orders to the letter. In this, he said, he had all his subordinates with him, and they would remain with him in case of a rupture. The Mexican commander said tthat it seemed probable, inasumch as General Pershing seemed ignorant of the fate of the Boyd column, that outside of five additional prisoners now being brought here the Americans were annihilated, although it was possible more had escaped. General Pershing his wired here for the names of the dead and the prisoners. It was officially announced that none of the prisoners brought here will be hanged, that "not being the custom of a civilized country." The seventeen American negroes captured in the Carrizal battle have been placed in the penitentiary here. There have been no ar rangements for removing them to Juarez to be surrenderd to the Amer ican authorities. Lem Spillsbury, the Mormon scout, captured at Carrizal, also is in prison. The prisoners were assaulted by Mexican civilians as they were being transferred from the train to the penitentiary. According to the authorities they are being well treated. The troopers brought here are Privates Page, Peterson, N. Lloyd, W. Ward, Jones, Sockes, Marshall Oliver, M. Donald, Williams, Givens, Stone, Harris, Lee, and Graham of Troop H, and Howe and Alexander of Troop C. According to a statement, said to have been signed by Spillsbury, made public today by General Trevino, neither he nor the negroes knew which side began the i . ing. Spillsbury's statement says that practically all the Americans who lost their lives were killed when they advanced to a deep ditch in which Mexicans were stationed and when other Mexicans, getting around to a deep ditch in their rear, at tacked them from the flank. ALL VILLA TROOPERS JOINING MEXICO ARMY Former Generals Under Bandit Hasten to Ally Themselves With the Carranzistas. El Paso, Texas, June 27. Villa troops, Villa Generals, and former enemies of Villa are flocking to the Mexican colors. Two troop trains have arrived in Chihuahua from the Laguna district with 2,000 former Villa soldiers under Generals Calexico Contreras and Canuto Reyes. They have joined the Carranza troops in Chihuahua City and received the best barracks in the state capital, and are cheered every time they drill or ap pear on the streets. Another train is expected in Chihuahua with the com mand of General Ysabel Robles, an other Villa General, who surrenderd the state of Chihuahua to Consul An dres Garcia for the Carranza govern ment. Many other minor Villa leaders are joining the Carranza troops in Chihuahua City and are being sent to the field near Villa Ahumada. This news was brought to the border by one of the five men who have been at Parrel, but who came out with the last party of Americans. They were in Chihuahua City when the former Villa troops marched from the Mexican Central station to the barracks. He said the demonstration in their honor was as great as when Villa rode into Chihuahua the first time, and there were a number of shouts of "Viva Villa!" heard in the crowd. The return of Villa to take com mand of his former troops is being frequently predicted by his friends, who insist he is not dead, but has been hiding in the mountains of Durango. They say Villa will take this opporun ity of wreaking his vengeance on the United States, and that he will be re ceived with acclamation1 by the Car ranza Government and the Mexican people. June 20. Met C troop under Captain Boyd. I came under Captain Boyd's command and marched my troop in rear for Carrizal at 4:15 a. m., reach ing open field to southeast of town at 6:30 a. m. "Captain Boyd sent in a note re questing permission to pass through the town. This was refused. Stated we could go to the north, but not east. Captain Boyd said he was go ing to Ahumada at this time. "He was talking with Carranza com mander. General Gomez sent a writ ten message that Captain Boyd could bring his force in town and have a conference. Captain Boyd feared an ambush. He was under the impres sion that the Mexicans would run as soon as we fired. "We formed for attack, his inten tion being to move up to the line of about 120 Mexicans on the edge of the town. We formed C Troop on the left in line with skirmishers, one platoon of K Troop platoon on ex treme right, echeloned a little to the rear. Opened Fire at 300 Yards. "When we were within 300 yards the Mexicans opened fire and a strong one before we fired a shot; then we opened up. They did not run. To make a long account short, after about an hour's fire in which both troops had advanced C Troop to position of Mexican machine gun and K Troop closing in slightly to the left. We were very busy on the right, keep ing off a flank attack. A group of Mexicans left town, went around our rear and led our horses off at a gallop. "About 9 o'clock one platoon of K Troop which was on our right fell back. Sergeant said he could not stay there. Both platoons fell back about 1,000 yards to the west and then together with some men of C RUSHING SUPPLIES TO THE NATIONAL GUARD Dozens of Carloads Hurried Forward From Philadelphia Arsenal for Eastern Camps. Philadelphia. June 27. Many addi tional workers were hired and two new three-ton auto trucks were pur chased to aid in handling the tremen dous supply of equipment being rush ed from the Schuykill to National Guard camps of the Atlantic Seaboard states. Twenty-one carloads of sup plies .including tents, uniforms, shoes, hats, leggins, underwear, and ordin ance were shipped from the arsenal aftd twenty-five carloads left the arse nal. The sudde increase in the forces of the army caught officials of the arse nal unawares. Lieut. Col. George H. Penrose, in charge of the purchasing department of the arsenal, has been authorized by Secretary of War Baker to make all necessary purchases, so that National Guardsmen may be fully equipped forthwith. Ten thousand blankets purchased arrived at the arsenal in more than a score of automobile trucks. "It will require ten days yet for us fully to equip the additional quota of guardsmen in the East," said Lieut. Col. Penrose tonight. Orders were placed for 236,000 blankets, 197,000 undershirts, 199,000 drawers, 150,000 pairs of canvass leg gins, 25,000 leather leggins, 100,000 hats, 1,000 bedsacks, 5,000 mosquito bars, 8,000 cots, and 8,000 yards of shirting flannel.

"I was slightly wounded. Captain Boyd, a man told me, was killed. Nothing was seen of Lieutenant Adair after fight started, so men I saw stated. "I hid in a hole 2,000 yards from field and have one other wounded man and three men with me. "Morey, captain." Comment by Pershing. In transmitting Captain Morey's letter General Pershing said: "The three men referred to by Morey are the three men who had above message in their possession. The wounded man was from C Troop shot through the knee. Lieutenant Meyer reports that the three men were rather vague as to where they had left Captain Morey, but stated that on the night of the twenty-first they had carried him two miles, that Morey became weak, could not go fur ther and told them to leave. Meyer reconnoitered 20 miles east of Santa Maria, but found nothing. Out of grain and forage, horses in bad shape, had to return." have been ordered, a shortage for a few days is almost a certainty. Colonel Stanley received orders to go into the open market and buy at market prices anything needed. Shoes are needed more than anything else, he said, hut it was stated there was little liklihood of any adequate sup ply being available in less than thirty days. Germans Repulse Russians. Berlin, via London. Violent attacks on the Austro-German forces which have countered the Russian offensive in Volhynia are being continued.

The official text of the note to the Mexican de facto gov ernment, transmitted to James Lynn Rodgers, special representative of the American government in Mexico City follows : "Mr. Arredondo delivered to this government the following communica tion: " 'I am directed by my government to inform Your Excellency, with ref erence to the Carrizal incident, that the Chief Executive, through the Mexican war department, gave orders to Gen. Jacinto B. Trevino, not to permit American forces from Gen eral Pershing's column to advance further South, nor to move either East or West from the points where they are located, and to oppose new incursions of American soldiers into Mexican territory. These orders were brought by General Trevino to the attention of General Pershing, who acknowledged the receipt of the com munication relative thereto. On the 22nd instant, as your excellency knows an American force moved eastward quite far from its base, notwithstand ing the above orders and was engag ed by Mexican troops at Carrizal, State of Chihuahua. As a result of the encounter several men on both sides were killed and wounded and 17 American soldiers were made prison ers.

" T am instructed, therefore, by my government to demand the immediate release of the prisoners taken in the encounter at Carrizal, together with any property of the United States taken with them and to inform you that the government of the United States expects an early statement from your government as to the course of action it wishes the government of the United States to understand it has determined upon and that it also ex pects that this statement be made through the usual diplomatic channels and not through subrodinate military commanders."
