NO. 11. 0(lviv"F"i;K7c, a tpiut HDDS 20.000 MEN TO REGULAR ARMY CONGRESS AUTHORIZES RECRUIT ING MOBILE ARMY TO ITS FULL STRENGTH. MAKING SUPREME EFFORT Official Dispatches Indicate That Car ranza Is Determined to Capture Villa and Bandits. Washington. While there were in dications in official dispatches from "exico that the de facto government was making a supreme ffort to cap ture Villa and his bandits with its own forces, there was no sign that General Funston's orders to proceed on th? same errand had been modified in any way. Wrd that American troops had crossed the border was still lacking the war department itself not having been advised as to when the movement would begin. Congress took active notice of the border situation for the first time. The house passed a joint resolution authorizing the recruiting of the mo bile regular army to full strength. This means the addition of approxi mately 20,000 fighting men to the in fantry, cavalry and field artillery. T!e step was suggested by the army general staff. Ever since the patrol of the border began the army has been grea' ' handicapped by the skeleton organisation of regimentls. companies, troops and batteries. The force that occupied Vera Cruz had similar difficulties, some of the com panies there being less than 40 men strong. c-. ,.0-ry Baker co:, 'erred with Sen . Chamberlain and Representative Hay. chairman of the congressional military committees. The resolutions was introduced by Representative Hay immediately upon his return to the capitol. Its consideration was expe dited by unanimous consent and its passage followed with only Representa tive London, Socialist, voting against it. The state department has forwarded by cable, telegraph, radio and mail full, sfptpmonts cf 1! that lias trans pired since the raid upon Columbus and of the attitude of the United States government and its reciprocal agreement with the Carranza govern ment to consuls and state department agents throughout the Southern Re public. It is expected these officials will correct immediately and author itatively any misstatements or mis apprehensions in their districts. SENATOR SHIVELY DEAD. Hoosier Senator Was For Many Years Prominent Figure in Congress. Washington. Benjamin F. Shively, senior senator from Indiana and for years a prominent figure in congress, died at a hospital here. He had been ill many months from a complication of diseases and for more than a year had been unable to ' "-m activelj his official duties. He was 54 years old. During three terras in the house and the seven years he had been in the sen ate, Snator Shively had devoted his activities particularly to foreign af fairs and tariff legislation. At the time of his death he was ranking Dem ocratic member of the foreign rela tions committee, of which he had been acting chairman during the critical pe "iod preceding and following the Amer ican occupation of Vera Cruz. In the house he tiad been regarded as a tariff expert, serving conspicu ously on the ways and means commit tee and later as a member of an im portant sub-committee of the senate finance committee, exerted a power-' ful influence in the framing of the Un derwood-Simmons tariff law.

Lansing Taking a Rest. Washington. Secretary Lansing loft for Pinehurst, N. C, for a week's vacation. For many weeks he has been working under a heavy pressure of diplomatic affairs and feels the need of a rest. Taking a vacation at this time was regarded here as indicative of how completely the State Department re gards the Mexican situation in the hands of the army and that the un derstanding with General Carranza is complete. Strict Embargo on News. San Antonio, Texas. Placing of a .strict embargo on news out of Co hnnbus, N. M., where the main body ot the United States expeditionary force, awaits word to cross into Mex ico in search of Francisco Vilyla, was the important development at Fort Sam Houston, where Major General Frederick Funston was arranging the final details of the expedition. In mil itary circles an attitude of expectancy succeeded the tightening of the cen sorship. News will also be watched at El Paso. AGREEMENT WITH CARRANZA FORGES MEXICAN TROOPS WILL BE AL LOWED TO CROSS BORDER LINE. PLAN TO CATCH BANDITS Xmerican Government Expects Hearty Co-operation of Carranza Forces in Hunt For Villa. Washington. The United States Government entered into" a formal agreement with the de facto govern ment of Mexico under which the American troops will cross the border to hunt down Villa and his bandits with the expectation of hearty co operation from the Carranza forces. Secretary Lansing made public the text of a note, accepting General Car ranza's proposal for a reciprocal ar rangement between the two Govern ments and announcing that the United States held this arrangement to be now in force and binding upon both parties. General Funston will carry out his task under agreement. Official .announcement was awaited that the American forces had crossed the border. Plans for the troop move ments have gone ahead without re gard to the diplomatic exchanges. Mr. Lansing also made public a state ment issued in the name of President Wilson, reiterating that every step be ing taken by the administration was based on the deliberate intention to preclude the possibility of armed in tervention in Mexico. It follows: "In order to remove any apprehen sion that may exist either in the United States or in Mexico, the Presi dent has authorized me to give in his name the public assurance that the military operations now in con templation by this government will be scrupulously confined to the ob ject already announced and that in no circumstances will they be suffer ed to infringe in any degree upon the sovereignty of Mexico or develop into intervention of an3r kind in the in ternal affairs of our sister republic. "On the contrary, what is now be ins done, i& deliberately intended to preclude the possibility of interven tion." The note to Carranza defines the terms of the agreement beyond the possibility of misconstruction. In brief it provides that where condi tions arise on the Mexican side of the border similar to those at Colum bus which led to the orders to Gen eral Funston, to enter Mexico, the same privilege will be accorded to the Mexican de facto Government without the necessity of a further ex change of views. It Is clearly stated, however, that the bandits to be pur sued on American soil by Mexican trcops must have come from the American side, committeed depreda tions on the Mexican side and fled back again to United States territory. There is no such instance on record in recent years. Officials of the Mexican Embassy here were jubilant over the accep tance of General Carranza's proposal by the United States. The Ambassa dor designaate Eliseo Arreddondo, withheld comment pending advices from his chief, but other officials made no secret of their entire satis faction with the American note. It was transmitted promptly to General Carranza. Some officials said that while a few extreme radicals among Carranza adherents might show op position to the agreement, this ele ment would not be important, nor would it influence the relations be tween the two govc-rnments. Tn nrpvpnt anv -war munitions from i- iio v t-u ci.t the Treasury Department instructed its collectors at San Francisco, No galos and Log Angeles to place an embargo on shipments of arms and ammunition through those points into Mexico. The embargo effects the principal commercial gateways into Chihuahua, Sonora and Lower Cali fornia and is regarded as sufficient in extent to make certain that Villa will not be supplied from this country. The whole matter is in General Funston's hands. He is planning carefully his moves on the huge chess board of northern Mexico, where he is to match his wits with Villa. His deliberation, officers here say, is cal culated to make certain the result be fore the first shot is fired. 12,000 Troops on Border. Columbu s, N. M. Approximately 12,000 troops with 40 mountain and field gun batteries were on the border between Douglas, Ariz., and El Paso, a line about 200 miles long. A little nore than one-third was cavalry. Plenty of Troops on Border. San Antonio, Texas. A sufficient force is now gathered at the Mexican border under the command of Brig. Gen. John J. Pershing, to begin pur suit of Francisco Villa, it was an nounced by Major General Frederick Funston. The general said that only the completion of plans for backing up the expeditionary forces now v" was needed. He was non-committal, how ever, as to the time needed to accom plish this.

General Funston Will Lead 5,000 Men on Expedition Into Mexican Territory. Washington. American troops were ordered across the Mexican border by President Wilson to take Francisco Villa and his bandits dead or alive. Under the direction if not actually the leadership of General Funston, who., ended the Philippine insurrection by taking Aguinaldo single-handed, Amer ican columns are moving into Mexico. They go to meet about 3,000 guerrilla troops in a mountainous region from which Carrarrza troops have fled. Whether this long-deferred armed action which begins purely as a puni tive measure to clear northern Mixi co of menacing bandit bands over which General Carranza has no con trol shall grow into a general armed intervention or occupation in Mexico, depends in a large measure upon Gen eral Carranza, and tbe,-Mexican -peo-J- ple. It begins with President Wilson's declaration that it is entirely in aid of the Carranza Government and with out thought of aggression. This state ment prepared by the President him self, was given out at the White House: "An adequate force will be sent at once in pursuit of Villa with the sin gle object of capturing him and put ting a stop to his forays. "This can be done and will be done in entirely friendly aid of the 'con stituted authorities in Mexico and with scrupulous respect for the sovereignty of that Republic." President Wilson ;. decision to de part from the policy of watchful wait ing, hastened by the Columbus massa cre, was anonunced after it had been unanimously approved by the Cabinet and Administration leaders in Con gress. The President's position was explained fully to the latter, who agreed that he would not be embar rassed at this time by discussions of a minority which might arouse trouble in Mexico. After a brief Cabinet meeting at which the President was described as being as determined to eliminate Villa as he was to eliminate Huerta, Sec retary Baker hurried to the War De partment and his first act in office sent orders to the border troops. Soon after the Army general staff assembled and conferred over the plans, long drawn and perfected since the Mexican situation loomed up as a disturbed to the peace of the United States. General Funston telegraphed, urg ing utmost secrecy of the Army's plans. The border is honeycombed with. Mexican spies, and it was agreed that the expedition would be pushed to success by keeping Villa and his men ignorant of its movements. 800 Roughriders Ready. Dallas, Texas. A regiment of rcuyh riders, organized in advance of the Mexican crisis, is awaiting ac ceptance by the Government, accord ing to E. W. Edwards, a Dallas busi ness man and veteran of the Spanish- American war. The regiment which Mr. Edwards organized is called the "Texas Mavericks,' 'and is composed of 800 men. American Rancher Killed. Bisbee, Ariz. An American rancher was killed when a band of approxii mately 200 Mexican bandits crossed the border southeast of Osborne June tion, Ariz., according to reports reach ing here. Headed for Mormon Colony. El Paso, Texas. Villa is headed di rectly for Casas Grandes, Chihuahua in order to attack the 500 Mormons settled in that section, according to a report received at Juarez by General Gavira, from General Bertaini. Carranza Troops Near Border. Columbus, N. M. Twelve hundred Carranza troops, flying a black and white flag to distinguish them so that American soldiers would not mistake them for bandits, reached Palomas six miles' south of Columbus. VILLA RAIDS COLUMBUS VILLA AND 500 MEN CROSS BOR DER AND RAID AMERICAN TOWN. U. S. Troopers Follow Villa Band Across Border. Washington Be hind Col. Slocum's Action. Columbus, N. M. Francisco Villa, outlawed Mexican bandit, raided Uni ted States territory. With 500 men he attacked Columbus, killed at least 16 Americans and fired many buildings before he was driven back across the international border. Not less than 250 troopers of the Thirteenth United States Cavalry fol lowed the Villa band into Mexico. Re ports to Col. H. J. Slocum, command ing United States troops at this point stated that Villa had made a stand 15 miles south of the border where spir ited fighting ensued. In this engage ment an unnamed private was killed and Capt. George Willias, adojutant of the Thirteenth Cavalry was wounded. The raid on American territory proved costly to the bandit chieftain. The bodies.? of -18 bandies including Pablo Lopez, second in command, had been gathered and burned before noon and troopers reported and undeter mined number of dead still lying in the brush. Led to the attack under the slogan: Death to the Americans," Villa's followers fought with desperation. Just before dawn they crept along ditches, skirting the United States cavalry camp and rushed the sleeping town, firing heavily. The first volley brought American troopers into almost instant action. While a portion of the raiders engaged the cavalry, others began applying the torch and shooting American civilians who ventured from the buildings. Lights in homes and public buildings immediately became targets for sni pers posted at Villa's direction. Other bandits creeping close to American homes, enticed a number of civilians into the open with English spoken in vitations. A number of fatalities are attributed to this ruse. Stores were looted, oil was poured ufion frame structures, and the match applyed by still other bandits. The postoffice was raided, furniture smash ed, but the looters secured only one small registered package. The casualties of the Thirteenth Cavalry in the fighting at Columbus were seven killed and six wounded. Villa's total losses in the day's fight were estimated in excess of 100 killed and twice as many wounded. American soldiers killed : Frank Kendvall, horse shoer, Troop K; Sergeant Marg A. Dobbs, machine gun troop; Corporal Paul Simon; Sergeant John Nievergelt, band; Cor poral Harry Wiswail, Troop G; Fred A. Griffin, private, Troop K. The wounded: Jesse P. Taylor, Troop F; Thomas Butler, Troop F; Theodore Kalzorke, Troop L; Michael Barmazel, machine gun troop; John Yarborough, Troop K; James Venner, Troop M; John Keogh, Troop G; Lieut. C. C. Benson, Troop G. The known civilian dead: A. L. Ritchie, hotel proprietor; Walter Walker, customs rider; Milton James, Mrs. Milton James, J. S. Dean, C C Miller, druggist; W. R. Walker, guest Central hotel; J. J. Moore, merchant British Asked for Information. Washington. The United States has asked Great Britain for a copy of the confidential instructions to command ers of British merchant vessels, which Germany claims prove that merchant men armed ostensibly for defensive purposes have orders to act offensive ly against German and Austrian sub marines. Squarely Behind Slocum. Washington. Washington stands squarely behind Colonel Slocum in sending cavalry into Mexico in pursuit of Francisco Villa and his band of outlaws who raided Columbus, N. M. murdering American soldiers and cit izens. Secretary Lansing informed the de facto government of Mexico through EUsco Arredondo, its Ambas sador designate here, that he trusted no objection would be made to the action of the American troops, they having followed what is known in military circles as a "hot trail." FUNSTON'S PUNS ARE KEPT SECRET RIGID CENSORSHIP REGARDING MOVEMENT AGAINST VILLA AND BANDITS. THREE REGIMENTS ARE SENT No Call For National Guard is Con templated. Troops May Have Crossed Border. Wshington. Secrecy regarding Gen eral Funston's plans for mo vine against Villa and his bandits has been so rigidly enforced at the war de partment that even high officials of the government are in doubt as to whether American troops actually had crossed the Mexican border. Secretary Baker announced that the Twenty-third Infantry, now at Gal veston, Tex., had been ordered to El Paso because of fear of Mexican at tacks felt in many towns along the border. The regiment, about 1,000 strong, will be stationed at points designated by General Funston. The order to the Twenty-third, the Secretary said, was the only import ant development of the day of which the department had any knowledge, and that nothing had come from any other source indicating that the ad vance guard of the expeditionary force was already on Mexican soil. He said he would make known the fact that the expedition was on its way just as soon as the news reached him. Questioned as to the messages that had come, the Secretary admitted that there was nothing directly denying reports that the border had been crossed. He said he had nothing to add to or detract from his previous statement that General Funston had full authority to proceed whenever he was ready. The secretary emphasiz ed the fact that any steps taken by the army would be in full recognition of Mexican sovereignty. He declined to discuss further the question of what action the de facto government might take as a result of the sending of American troops in pursuit of the bandits. GENERAL CARRANZA Head of the De Facto Government Norwegian Silius Torpedoed. Paris. Seven of the crew of the Norwegian bark Silius, which was tor pedoed and sunk were Americans. The Silius left New York on Feb. 4 for Havre. The Petit Parisien says that one of the Americans on the Silius suffered serious injuries of the legs and was taken to the Pasteur Hospital. He is John Hartmann, 18 years old. It is reported that Cap tain Syvertsen of the Silius was drowned, and that two sailors are missing. The remaining members of the crew were saved. Army Auto Trucks in Use. Washington. The campaign in northern Mexico to capture Francisco Villa will see the formation of the fifet auto-truck companies to be or ganized for the United States Army, according to a statement made by Colonel A. L. Smith, the depot quar termaster stationed in this city. Governor Regrets Move. Vera Cruz. General Heriberto Jara, Governor of the State of Vera Cruz, when informed of the intention of the United States Government to send troops into Mexico in pursuit of Villa, took a grave and regretful View of the situation. FLASHES FROM THE WIRES. The first aero squadron, stationed at Fort Sam Houston, will be a part of the expeditionary force against Villa. The British fleet auxiliary Fauvette, a vessel of 2,644 tons, has been lost together with 14 members of her crew by striking a mine off the east coast or England. The total losses of the French, ac cording to General Gallieni's state ment, has reached 2,500,000, while the British up to the present have lost-800.000. METHODISTS LEAD AT A.& M. Baptist Second in Enrollment. Wake County Leads With 43 Students Summer Schools Announced. West Raleigh. The Methodist ele ment at the A. & M. College leads all others in point of numbers, number ing 217 of the 631 students attending college this year. Following the Methodists are Baptists with 156, Presbyterian 148, Episcopalian 491 Christian 14, Lutheran 12, Friends 10, Catholic 7, Reformed 7, Universalist 3, Moravians 3, Congregational 2, No preference 3.

Other counties which are well represented are Alamance, Gaston, Robeson and Iredell. The announcement of the summer term in agriculture for high school superintendents, principals and teach ers is just out. The term will ex tend from June 1 to June 28. The fact that 19 farm life schools have been established all but three with in the past two and one-half years, shows the interest that the state is taking in vocational training. The next five years will probably see this number multiplied by three or four provided teachers trained in scienti fic agriculture can be found for the farm schools. Mr. D. S. Coltrane of Jamestown was the winner of the medal which has been offered yearly by President D. H. Hill to the best declaimer in the two literary societies. Interst in debating and oratory at the A. & M. College has steadily grown during the past few years, principally through the efforts of Dr. George Summey, Jr., of the English department. The contest Saturday night was the third 'nter-soclety contest held this year. Build Road to Rldgecrest. Asheville. Commissioners of Bun combe county took two important steps for the betterment of roads in this county when they decided to start work at once on the road to Ridge crest and appropriated $30,000 for the improvements of roads in West Ashe ville. The commissioners had promised to give the Black Mountain district a I definite statement in regard to the kind of road to be built to Rldgecrest, and. a. .committee., from that district appeared before the commission. The commission was Informed that work wouM be started practically at once, that the road would be constructed of an eight-inch macadam base, surfaced with asphalt, and that a carload of machinery for work on the road is now at Asheville. The stretch of road to be built is 16 miles in length and the road is to be 18 feet' wide. It will cost between $75,000 and $100,000 according to estimates. The Strawberry Situation. Chadbourn. Some weeks ago when so many blooms appeared on the strawberry plants the growers were uneasy for the crop, fearing berries might appear too early, and be over taken by a freeze. . Now, since the weather has changed off and continu ed cold for quite a while, there is beginning to be some uneasiness lest the crop be too late to demand good prices. However, the fact that con tinued cold weather seems to have gripped nearly all of the berry-growing territory, lends a hopeful color to the local situation. Roads Stand Winter Well. KInston. The Greene county offl cials have made some interesting dis coveries regarding tne county's new roads system. The highways have just passed through their first winter. The rains of the cold months had no material effect upon the sand-clay roads, and very little overhauling wil' have to be done in the spring. Meet at Wrightsvllle. Newborn. Since making announce ment of the next annual meeting at Old Point, Va., the executive com mittee of the North Carolina Bar As sociation has reconsidered this mat ter and ex-Judge D. L. Ward, chair man of the committee, gave out the in formation that the meeting would be held at Wrightsville Beach, June 27 29. NORTH CAROLINA BRIEFS. The Ella mill at Shelby has purchas ed 300 more shade trees to be planted on their premises. Eleven men from North Carolina have enrolled in the Southern Mili tary Training Camp at Ft. Oglethorpe, Ga., next month. Stanford Daniels, 10 years of age and only son of Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Daniels of Asheville, was struck by an automobile and died a few minutes later at an Asheville hospital, " death being due to a fractured skull. Governor Craig has endorsed the movement to capture Villa. The contract has been let for Gas tonia's new $170,000, seven-story bank and office building.

Fifty iron lamp posts for Shelby's great white way have arrived and will be installed as soon as the wire and other equipment arrives. Dr. J. A. Roach, a dentist at Madi son has a tomato plant in his office that has grown fruit every month for two rears. DEMOCRATS MEET THURSDAY, APRIL 27 STATE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION WILL BE HELD IN RALEIGH THIS YEAR. HEARTILY ENDORSE WILSON Executive Committee Holds Meetlnj and Urge Re-election of President Woodrow Wilson. Raleigh. The Democratic Execu tive Committee, in session in the hall of the House of Representatives, sel ected Raleigh as the meeting place of the next state convention and set Thursday, April 27, as the date for the Vsonvention. Precinct meetings will be held on Saturday, April 15, and county conventions on the Satur day following, April Z2. Forty-seven members of the com mittee were present in person or rep resented by proxy when Secretary J. R. Collie called the roll. The meet ing was to have been held in the Sen ate chamber, but there was not room there for the members of the commit tee and the Democrats that had come to look on and take part in the delib erations of the body and they moved over to the large chamber. Chairman T. D. Warren presided. Alter the reading of the formal call he made a short speech, in which he explained briefly and succinctly the workings of the new primary law, ad vised the members of the committee to familiarize themselves with every detail of the law and aid the county and precinct chairmen to master its every provision. He praised the mem bers of the committee and loyal Democrats all over the state for the good work done in the last election, when in the face of the very worst of coiiditions they elected 100 out of 120 members of the House of Representa tives and 43 out of 50 members of the Senate. He praised the record of the Democratic Administration. saying that every state office has been effi ciently administered, that there has not been the slightest intimation of graft or corruption anywhere, nor anything that looked like extrava- j gaiK-c. He contrasted' ' il. firjo t4iovi Ing- of the Democratic officials with that of former Republican administra tions, which, he said, were marked by Incompetence, extravagance and corruption. North Carolinians on the Border. Washington. Among the sons of North Carolina who are officers in the American Army on the Mexican bor der are the following: Captain John F. Wagener, Eighth Cavalry, Fort Bliss, Texas. First Lieut. Hugh H. Broadhurst, Company B, Eighth Cavalry, Fort Bliss, Texas. Captain John E. S. Young, Eighth Cavalry, Fort Mliss, Texas.

Osborne, Fourth Field Artillery, Fort Bliss. Texas. Carload of Bees. New Bern. A solid carload of hon ey bee3 passed through New Bern en route from Nelms, Pamlico county, to Sandy Cross, N. C. Just how many millions bees there were in the car can only be guessed at and the guesses ranged all the way from five to a thousand. Whether any of these were correct is speculative but there is no doubt of the fact that there were "some" bees in the ship ment. Must Complete in 15 Months. Shelby. Postmaster Will J. Rob erts has received notice from the Treasury Department at Washington saying the new Federal post office building must be finished within 15 months from January 24, 1916, when the contract was let. The building will be of sandstone, except where limestone is specified in the plans drawn by the government architect. Getting Ready For May Pageant. Greensboro. The huge artistic cel ebration of a May Day in the State Normal College this year appears likely to draw heavily upon North Car olina as well as other parts of the country for patronage. From the various corners of the state are com ing words which herald th intention of friends of the college to attend. The occasion is the dramatic celebra tion which is staged on May 20 every fourth year, or will be staged that often in the future. The celebration this year is to be thf second. Night School Closes. Newbern. The night school con ducted in this city for the past CO days under the auspices of the Woman's Club will be closed. About 75 pupils were enrolled and the majority of these have been in attendance at every session. The closing of the school is on account t the fact that the teach ers, the majority of whom are teach ers in the public schools and who have been doing this extra work with out compensation are tired out and need a brief rest.
