ONE DOLLAR A YL. ALL MILITAHY COMPAXIKS IX I'. S. HAVE BEEX CALLKD OIT Prsldent Wilson Has Ordered One Hundred Thousand Mure Men to the Mexican Border Me' an Got eminent Han Threaten. United Stales Troop if They Move And the Itegular Army Will be Keleas ed for Instant Fighting in Mexie-n if War Ohium Xorth Carolina lils lo Mobolize at Morehead Every military company of every state guard in tbe United Slates is now being mustered into service at the call of 'President Wilson to hasten to the Mexican border to re-lnforce the regular L'nted States forces now on the border and iu Mexico. About one hundred thousand men will re spond to this call, which was issued Sunday and mobilization plans are under way. North Carolina troops will be gathered at Morehead city and will be live or six thousand strong. This movement is the result of a more tense situation in Mexico and along the border. The Mexican Gen eral Trevina. sent word to General Pershing, the leader of the forces now in Mexico looking for bandits, that he must not move any forces east, west or south in other words, that if he did any thing but start back home, he would be attacked by the Mexicans of Carranzas armies. He also said that Caranza had order ed that no more troops should cross the border into Mexico. The follow ing dispatches tell all the news there is: Washington, June 19. War with Mexico depends upon General Carran za's reception of a stern refusal by the United States to heed his demand for a recall of American troops, in the ODinion of President Wilson's ,la uHviuors Thpv were nrenared tonight for the possibility of open hostilities after tne noie, wnicn win be sent forward tomorrow, Has ream ed Curranza's hands. No indication has come that the first chiefs attitude of Wnplacable hostility would be shaken by the re Huiot.wl il.i l:ii;illnn nf the latest com muniealion that the United States has nn HirLTPsslve or warlike purpose to ward Mexico, but is firmly resolved to protect her borders and end brigand nge in the border States. The reply to Carrauza's note de m:iiirtnir recall of General Pershing'l expedition was In the hands of the Government printer tonight prepara tory to its delivery and publication tomorrow. 8.-'rretaty LniiBlng i.uei in tended to send It forward today, but at the last moment minor changes . nnrt udilitions to the li. 000-word docu nient necessitated delay. Although it had been planned to send it by cm.rhil nu'XRenL'cr to Mexico City and it probably will he banded to Eliseo Aredondo, Mexican Ambassador ues iguate. Whole Nation Astir. While the diplomatic steps were In progress today the Nation was Hur ling throughout its widih and breadth with the movement of Na- timiul nnurilsmen mobilizing to cuaid tho border. At least 11)0.000 uud possibly a far larger number were preparing for service under PrMident Wilson s call. Tor the present their mission purely will be one of defense: but should war come, they will be ready also for that. The now forces will not be assign ed for the border until mustered Into the Federal service. Even when mobilization is completed, only such units will be ordered South as Gen eral Funston desires fill the gap3 in his 1,800-mile guard line. The re muiniter will rest on their arms at the Slate mobilization camps for the present, awaiting the turn cr events, nriiriut rennrts from many ouar- ters show that a flame of popular feeling pgninst the I niieu Mates is being kindled through Mexico, ap parently with the sanction of Geneiul Carranza for the acts In many cases are those of his authorized military or civil agents. Strained to Breaking Point. From Juarez to the West coast pos ters have appeared calling the people to arms and asserting that the United States is preparing to hurl its armies into Mexico. Chaotic conditions pre Tall everywhere, it Is said. Clashes such as that between Mexican troops and American bluejackets at Mazat lan show that relations are strained to the breaking point. The act of a subordinate commander anywhere may briug on fighting that will result in war. So far as officials here are aware General Carranza is taking no strong measure to curb his soldiers and peo ple. Upon this fact many of them found their belief that he is deter mined to force matters to an issue unless -the American troops are with drawn. Neither State Department officials nor members of the diplomatic corps have been able to satisfy themselves as to General Carranza's motives. There are some, however, who believe he hopes to ride Into popularity on a diplomatic triumph over his pow erful northern neighbors, or upon a war wave which might establish his tottering government In popular esti mation. Once the war was on and the certain defeat of his armies fore shadowed, these observers say. Gen eral Carranza might sue for peace trusting to the magnanimity of tho Washington Government to leave him in power. 5,000 American In Peril. Increasing uneasiness over the plight of some 6.000 American civil ians now in M'xlco was manifested today In official quarters. Approxi mately 1.200 of that number are in Mexico City, despite warning after warning through American consuls and other officials. Another emphatic message advising them to leave Mexf co immediately was sent by the State Department through Special Agent Uodgers a few days ago. Washington Dispatch, June 18th. Virtually the entire mobile strength of the Nutioual Guard of all States and tho District of Columbia was or dered mustered into the Federal serv ice tonight by President Wilson. About 100.0110 men are expected to respond to the call. They will be mobolized immediate ly tor such service on the Mexican bonier as may later be assigned to them. General Frederick Funston, com manJing the border forces, will des ignate the time and place for move ments of guardsmen to the interna tional line us the occasion may re quire. la announcing the orders. Secreta ry Baker said the Stale forces would be employed only to guard the border and that no additional troop move ments Into Mexico were contemplated except in pursuit of raiders. Simul taneously, with the National Guard call. Secretary Daniels of the Navy Department, ordered additional war vessels to Mexican waters on both coasts to safeguard American lives. Tension Steudily Increasing. At the War, Navy and State De partments It was stated that no new advices as to the situation in Mexico bad come to precipitate the orders. Within the last two weeks, how ever, tension has been increasing steadily. The crisis presented by- General Carranza's tiote demanding the recall of .General Pershing's ex peditionary force has been followed by a virtual ultimatum served on the American officer by General Trevlno, Mexican commander in Chihuahua. To this wa3 added yesterday tho pos sibility that American and Mexican troops had clashed across the border from San Renito, Texas. Administration officials made no ntempt to conceal tonight their relief over the safe retun of Major Ander son's cavalry squadron to Brownsville after their successful bandit chase. The troopers crossed In pursuit of bnndMs in the face of Intimations that they would he attacked II' they did so. General Funston himself reported thrt he anticipated fighting, presum ably with the Carranza troops. Ilelenses :l,000 Regulars. Mobilization of the National Guardsmen to support General Funs- ton's Tine will pe Km' way for re leasing some 30,000 regulars for Im mediate service in Mexico In the event of open hostilities with the Caranza government. The guardsmen them selves could not be used beyond the line without authority of Congress and until they had volunteered for that duty, as they are called out un der the old niitlitia law. The new law. which would make them availa ble for any duty tinder the Federal government, goes Into effect July I. The entire mobile regular army in the United States, several provisional regiments of regular coast artillery, serving as infantry, and the National Guard of Texas, New Mexico and Ari zona, now are on the border or In Mexico Definite figures have never been made public, 4ml It is under stood that General Funston and about 40,000 regulars, and probably 5,000 or more guardsmeu. of whom 10.000 regulars are with General Pershing or scattered along his line of com munication from Namitiulpn, Mexico, to Columbus, N. M. Secretnty linker's Statement. In announcing the President's de cision late today, Secretary liaker said the militia would be sent to the border wherever and as fully as Gen eral Funston determines them to be needed. The proportlonment of the militia which will uctually be sent to the border has been determined upon by the War Department. Secretary Baker Issued the follow ing statement: "In view of the disturbed condi tions on tho Mexican border, and In order to assure complete protection for all Americans, the President Ins called out substantially all the State militia and will send them to the bor dor wherever and as fully as General Funston determines them to be need ed for the purpose stated. "If all are not needed, nn effort will be made to relieve those on duty there from time to time, so as to dis tribute the duty. "This call for militia Is wholly un related to General Pershing's expedi tion, and contemplates no additional entry into Mexico, except as may be necessary:" Mr. J. It. Hosier's House Burned This .turning. The fine country residence of Mr. J. B. Doster, five miles southwest of Mnnnw. was hnrned down between nine and ten o'clock this morning. No one knows how tho fire startea and nothing but the piano and one bureau was saved from the building. Mr. Doster was plowing In the field and Mrs. Doster was at the house. Mr. Doster saw the flames on Iho rnnm anil rilnhlne In the hoUHfl. found that Mrs. Doster knew noth ing of the fact. It was too late to stopthe fire and without much help Mr. Doster could save little. The loss is severe and very dis tressing: The house was a well built, ten room one, nearly new, and had Itict boon nalnteri this snrlnE. There was one thousand dollars insurance but this will not cover hair the los. Besides this Mr. Doster Is without a home right it the busiest season of the year. BACK FROM THK XOHTH Four Monroe Gentlemen Returned Sunday From a Trip to Xew York, Niagara, and Other Point in an Automobile Only One Puncture and Two Blowouts. Messrs. T. J. Gordon. N. W. Tharp. Ray Krauss and Craven Gordon, re turned Sunday from a two week's tour of the north in Mr. Gordon's big automobile. The gentlemen re port a good time, and they all claim that the trip was well worth the ex pense. The total mileage of the trip amounted to about 2.406 miles, and about 223 gallons of gasoline wore consumed. Four gallons of oil was required to make the trip. The roads were excellent, and they experienced no difficulty except in one instance when they wandered from the right road and struck a Vir ginia swamp. There they found a man and a woman marooned in an automobile, and they spent four or live hours helping get them out. much to the injury' of their clothes nril good humor. The party left here Sunday, June I. and they reached Lexington, Va., Monday night. Tuesday night they were In Gettysburg, and on Wednes day night they were in Llgoneir. Pa. Thursday, they were In PlUsburg, Pa., making Meadesville that same night. On Friday they were In Erie. Pa., and from there they went to Niagara Falls; thence across the lake Into Toronto. Canada. On the return trip they went over the New York state highway to Syra cuse; thence to Albany on Monday. They spent Tuesday in New York City; Wednesday in Trenton, N. J., Thursday In Washington and Rich mond ; Friday in Fredericksburg; Saturday In Raleigh and then home Sunday. In Toronto. Canada, Mr. N. W. Tharp says they heard nothing but war. Along the United States bor der thousands of men were being drilled, and in Toronto, officers were begging men to enlist at almost every street corner and the whole country had a war-like appearance. They had only one puncture, and three blowouts throughout the en tire trip, which Is an enviable record consid'-r'ug the distance traversed. Messrs. Kay Krauss and Craven Cor don were the chauffers, and they divided the time at the wheel. They collected pennants from nearly all Hie big cities they visited, and its like going to a zoo to see the car bod'i kul as It was yesterday. W. S.

Stewart' Article Worth One Hun. dred Year's Subscription l.i The Journal. Correspondence of The Journal. Waxhaw, June 1!. From the standpoint of a seeker of everyday news last Friday's issue of The Journal could be claimed almost a failure. But on the other hand mighty few people expected that that one issue of the paper would be given over completely to general ne. The Journal has a force capable of taking care of the cream or the general news and locnl weekly events, so when it was announced that the Woman's Club would edit an issue, the natural inference was that they proposed dealing with some deep-rooted condi tions detrimental to the public wel fare of the people in their own town and the surrounding community. People laboring under the above im pression, and there were many, were not disappointed. The Woman's edi tion of The Journal was all right in its way. We will be glad to get the paper in its every day garb Wednes day and at the same time we hope that some of the seeds for the public improvement that were sown by the good ladies in the last issue will grow and bear fruit. There is noth ing on earth so powerful as publicity in the matter of correcting wrongful conditions and obtaining rightful needs. Misses Wilma Helms, Susie Secrest, Jeanie Richardson, Gertrude Griffin and Reulah Ashely, all members of the Osceola Canning Club, spent rrom Tuesday till Sunday In Lancas ter taking the short course in can ning that Is provided free to all members or the canning clubs by the State. In all. about 3S young ladies took the course last week. The Osceola delegation were much pleas ed with the handsome way they were entertained In the good homes of Lancaster, and for the many pleas ures provided ror them by the town. I 'uon tier rot urn home yesterday, one of the youngest of the young ladies from Osceola, was telling of her pleasures and sights she saw and she concluded with." And we saw lots of lawn mowers all a lawning." upon being interested further she said they were either lawning or launery ing. tind'ue will let it go at that. Mention was made in this corres pondence last week of the hurtling of the Williams gin and sixty hales of cotton, eight miles from town. Joe Cunningham (colored) has since been arrested and is In jail at Lancr.'ter charged with setting fire to the build lug. The evidence agaiust him is said to be strong. He farmed on (lie place last year, but owing to some difference with the overseer was pre paring to leave at the time of the fire.

Then you can sympathize with me, land it will be most acceptable 1 when I tell you that no longer than yesterday, when I was Indulging In the perfectly In nocent pastime of sitting on a front porch. I got one of those little in struments of torture in my left eye with sufficient force to bring both the Big and Little Dipper and the whole Milky Way into close proximi ty to my startled vision. For fear that there may be members of the Divinity among The Journal's enor mous list of subscribers, I will for bear regaling you with the illumina ting and descriptive names which were instantly forthcoming for small boys in particular and nicllypops In general. Everybody a fellow runs across Is ready with the information that he Is going to the Fourth, If possible. Wouldn't It be a pretty good plan for Jackson township to get up a float typical of Old Hic kory and send her along. The funds for such a float ought to come easy. I know if for a fact that seven or eight years ago two of our county boys became possesed of such an Idea and in loss than an hour's canvassing they se cured pledges for nineteen dollars and nil the lumber together with a suitable wagon. The boys had to abandon the project for the sole rea son that they had started out but six days previous to the celebration and crops were over run with pras. making It impossible for either of them to push tho thing through. There is a lot of things In Dr. Stewart's address before the Wo men's Cluh and printed in the Ir.s issue of The Journal which will cause a person to pause and indulge in some sober thought and the same can be said of his previous contribu tions to The Journal. Many a fel low, ("votes for women") can get a hundred times the equavilent of c year's subscription to the paper out of those articles. Same how or other our attitude towards the suffiagelte question got an awful throttling last night.

Monro is in the market for a live secretary tor the recently organized Chamber of Commerce. Numerous applica tions have been made lor the position, but only one or them had been seri ously considered. Thai was the ap plication ot Mr. C. W. Roberts, a young man ot Ito.k hill, S. C. Ow ing to the fact that t!i' directors could liOt pj.y hi III tho ;;:!;:.- be ask ed, he has acctptiHi a umilar posi tion with the Gastoau Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Roberts came cio v;: to Monroe one day two weeks ar i and took a look around the town, n went home, and wrote to Mr. E. C.
