' . , IPresraenfl Wilson Calls m National Q.uaird for on NexicanBorder Bum Washington, June 18 The Pr-.-ii-dpnt's order calling (he national guard into the federal service went to the governor of each state in the form of the following telegram signed by Sec retary Baker: 4 Having in view the possibility of further aggression upon the territory of the United States from Mexico and the necessity for the proper protection of that frontier, the President has thought proper to exercise the author ity vested in him by the constitution and laws and call out the organized militia and the national guard neces sary for that purpose. I am, in con sequence, instructed by the President to call into the service of the United States, forthwith, through you, units of the oranized militia and national guard of the state of which the Presi dent directs shall be assembled at the state mobilization point, state camp ground (or at the places to be desig nated to you by the commanding gen eral, department), for mus ter into the service of the United States: "Organizations to be accepted into federal service should have the mini mum peace strength now prescribed for organized militia. The maximum strength at which organizations will be Accepted and to which they should . be raised as soon as possible, is pre scribed in section 2, tables of organi zation, United States army. In case any regiment, Latallion or squadron now recognized as such contains an in sufficient number of organizations to enable it to conform at muster to regu lar army organization tables, the or- camped at San Pedro, Tex., about 12 miles west of Brownsville, awaiting de velopments, after having, according to General Parker 's official report, ' ' clean ed out a nest of bandits on ranches op posite the San Pedro - Eanchito district." Three ranches included the Tahuachal ranch, about 10 miles west of Matamoros, which is notorious as a bandit haven. Military- authorities tonight regarded the situation as fraught with the grav est possibilities. This was occasioned by the possibility that it was a detach ment of de facto government troops commanded by a young lieutenant, who led the attack on the Americans as they were leaving Mexico. This officer was killed and his costume was found to be composed partly of the uniform of a Carranza soldier. Although the official report of tlie fight to army headquarters said one was killed and two wounded, it was con firmed in Matamoros tonight that two Mexicans were killed. The attack on the rear guard was made after two troops and a machine gun troop of the t! ""-y had re- crossed to the United States. Troops E and F, commanded by Lieutenants John Read. Jr., and Peabody, wre back from the river, covering the retreat to the Rio Grande. The outpost reported the appearance of a small band of mounted. men who, on seeing the Americans, opened fire Troop E quickly replied and was joined by troop F. The firing continued for 10 minutes at arrange of approximately 500 yards. Two. men were seen to fall j from their horses. The supposed lieu i tenant went to the aid of one of those i - tions nft-eb; .- to mmuktp such Ha.-l, waa struck hr tw kul. u.ntH may be moved to mobilization camps and there inspected under or ders of the department commander to determine fitness for recognition as or ganized militia by the war department. "Circular 19, division of militia af fairs, 1914, prescribes the organiza tions desired from states as part of the local tactical division and only these organizations will be accepted into ser vice. "It is requested that all the officers of the adjutant general's department quarter -master 's corps and medical corps, duly recognized as pertaining to state headquarters under table one, tables of organization, organized mi litia, and not elsewhere required for duty in state administration be order ed to camp for duty at camp staff of fices. Such numebr of these staff of ficers as the department commander may determine may be mustered into the service of the United States for purpose of proper camp administration and will be mustered out when their services are no longer required. "Where recognized brigades or divi sions are called into service from a state, the staff officers pertaining io these units under tables of organization United States army, will be mustered into service, and also the authorized sectors of small arms practice pertain ing thereto. ' ' Except for these two purposes of mobilazation camp service and of the prescribed camp service with tactical units, officers of state headquarters un der table one, above mentioned, will not be mustered into service at this time. If tactical divisions are later organized the requisite official number of staff officers with rank as prescribed for division staff will, as far as prac ticable, be called into service from those states which have furnished troops to such divisions. Boats ordered to Mexico. Washington, June 18. Secretary Daniels tonight ordered several addi tional gun boats and small craft on the east and west coasts to Mexican waters. Brownsville, Tex., June 18. Having accomplished its object, the dispersing of Mexican bandits, who Friday night raided Texas ranches and attacked a detachment of the 26th infantry east of San Benito, Tex., the fourth Ameri can punitive expedition to enter Mex ico was withdrawn today. There wern no American casualities. Two bandits were killed and two wounded in a rear guard action when the Americans began to withdraw. Promises were given by the Carran za commander at Matamoros that he would run down and punish the out laws. Two bandits were killed and two 'wounded in an action with a detach ment of about 16 Mexicans when the Anriui began to withdraw, v Jkf J1?'! ipiitic;& tonight lets, one in the back of the neck. The cavalry then charged the Mexi cans who fled in the direction of Mata moros. The chase continued 3 miles, when Maj. Edward Anderson, in com mand, ordered it halted, on orders from headquarters here to recross the river. The first section of the fourth puni tive expedition commanded by lieuten ant Newman, crossed the Rio Grande yesterday morning in pursuit of a hot trail. His command comprised troop H, of the third cavalry. A second sec tion crossed at 3 o'clock yesterday af terternoon, headed by Major Anderson. The entire expedition which swam the Rio Grande took position on the Mexi can side two miles from the ford and sent out scouting parties. The bandits fled before the American forces. Last night Major Anderson's outpost was fired upon from a Mexican house. The house was charged by the Americans, but the occupants fled into the bushes. The entire section opposite San Pedro was thoroughly searched and while there was occasional sniping uone of the Americans nor their horses were injured. The retirement of the expedition be gan early today upon instructions from General Parker, commanding this mili tary district, who had exchanged mes sages with General Ricaut, Carranza commander of the Matamoros district. Mexican Consul J. Z. Garza acted as in termediarv. General Ricaut, according to the mes sages, promised he would capture and punish the bandits who raided the American side of lb Rio Grande. The Matamoros commander demanded tly immediate withdrawal of the troops i making this promise and its acceptance by General Parker, threatening to at tack unless this was done, f-onsul Gar za told the American officer that Gen eral Ricaut might not be able to stop, the Mexican troops in the brush who might attack: He was told the United States cavalry could stop them. General Ricaut last night demanded the immediate withdrawal of the expe dition and threatened to attack unless this was done, Ricaut was told, it is understood, such an attack meant war. Today's exchanges between the two commanders resulted in a promise be ing exacted from Ricaut that he would capture and punish -the bandits who raided the American side. General Parker accepted this promise and or dered the withdrawal through Col. R. L. Bullard, of the 26th, infantry, wh had joined the expedition daring the night. The expedition recrossed the river on pontoon bridges. General Parker 's report to General Funston on the expedition, filed before the expedition began withdrawing and was attacked as follows: Major Edward Anderson and his squadron of the third cavalry, support ing Lieutenant Newman's detachment which had followed the bandits across the river, cleaned out a nest of bandits on ranches opposite the San Pedro raii ehito district. On the appearance of dur command at the ranches the bandits scattered and sniped during yesterday afternoon and occasionally until mid night, since which time no Mexicans have been seen nor has there been any further firing at our troops. There were no casualities on our side. "Camp yesterday was made some 2 miles back from the crossing to which the command returned this morning. No Carranza troops were encountered. The object of the crossing having been ac complished and in consequence of pro mises made by the Mexican commander General Ricaut, to capture and punish the bandits, I have ordered Col. Bull ard, Commanding, to withdraw Major Anderson 's command to this side of the Rio Grande and go into camp at San Pedro with the entire command, con sisting of the second squadron of the 3 cavalry, plus a machine gun troop, plus one machine gun company of the 26th infantry, one batallion of the 26th in fantry, and a detachment of the fourth infantry. "It is believed that the prompt and vigorous action taken in hot , pursuit, and following across the border to safe refuge of these notorious raiders will have a fine salutary effect on conditions along this part of the border."

TEACHERS INSTITUTE AT WELDON FOB TWO WEEKS. A county Teachers' Institute will be held at Weldon beginning June 26, and continuing for two weeks. The law ! requires the continuous attendance of all public school, high school, and grad ed school teachers, unless providentially hindered, or unless such teachers attend an accredited Summer School in lieu of an institute. A certificate of valid htten dance will be issued to all who de serve it at the close of the institute. Teachers will need to have Charter's Teaching the Common Branches ' ' and the course of st".dy. If you have a copy of the Course of Study, be sure to bring it with you. Primary teachers should bring all the books used in the first three grades, a pair of scissors, a box of crayola, and a pencil with soft, large lead. Intermediate teachers should have all the text-books of the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh grades. J. Y. JOYNER. A. E. AKERS, Supt. Pub. Inst. County Supt. CHAPEL HILL LETTER. Chapel Hill, N. C , June 20. In both the enthusiasm manifested nnrl th number of students so far registered the twenty -ninth session of the Uni versity Summer School, which opened Thursday, June 15 has surpassed all previous sessions. The enrollment on the last day of registration was 729, within two of the total for the whole of last year. The enrollment passed the 800 mark before Sunday, thus mak ing it practically certain now that over 1000 students will be enrolled before the summer is over. All available dor mitories are full, and the University is taxed to accomodate all who come. It is hard to find a sufficient number of class-rooms. ' In the absence of President Graham, Dean Marvin H. istacy welcomed the summer students to the University at the formal opening on Friday. He de clared that the summer students wer here by right of citizenship, right of hospitality, and right of growth the last right being one which the teacher should by all means exercse. "There has not been in Nort hCarolina this year, ne said, ' an assembly oi men and women that means more to the state than the men and women here this summer. ' ' The Summer School management has left no stone unturned in providing for six, weeks of combined profit and pleas ure. Most of the best teachers in the winter school have been retained and their number has been supplemented by distinguished teachers from othei schools. Miss Emily Roso Knox, of Raleigh, and Mres Dycie Howell of New York give the first of the summer musicalcs on next Tuesday night. Professor Gus tav Hagedorn of Raleigh is planning big things in Summer School music and singing this " year. The 'chorou will give a concert on July 12. The campus presents an unusual ap pearance to those who know the Uni versity only during the winter term. The fair sex may be said to predomi nate, and feminine voices ring out from the dormitories, whiel. are now reserv ed for women. The summer school is first of all a school for teachers, and naturally those interested in the pro fession of teaching are here in great numbers, approximately two-thirds be ing normal students. An increasing number of men is yearly coming to the summer school, many being winter students. Many also come from other standard col leges and universities to do graduate work, or work towards a eollege de gree. Over 50 students have already registered for graduate study more than in the regular session last year. The Y. W. C. A. has this summer taken charge of the University Y. M. C. A. building, and will thus be en abled to render help and guidance to the women of the school. Miss Mar garet Anderson of Winston-Salem, l secretary. NEORO SHOT SUNDAY. Sunday afternoon while riding on the farm of Judge Clark, on Roanoke River, Curtis Kiah shot and probab ly fatally wounded Sam Anthony, his companion. The pistol was accidently discharrul when Kiah pulled it out of his pocket intending to show it to Anthony, the ball entering his side, hitting a libe and glancing. Medical aid was sum moned but the course of the bullet is not known as a probe would not fol low owing to the fact that the Lai. glanced after hitting a bone. It is thought that it is embedded in in the base of a lung but this cannot be ascertained unless the negro is ex amined by an X-Ray. Neither of the negroes are "bad men" and it is thought that the shoot ing was accidental as reported byKi- ah. - n The Mayor, and town commissioners met in special sessio i last night to pass upon the petition of the Scotland Neck Board of Trade. Mayor Shields pre- sided with Clerk Henry T. Clark in his usual position. Other commissioners present were Stuart II . Smith and N. E. Winslow. One commissioner was absent, Mr. L. H. Kitchia being out of town. The Board issued the following resolution: OTHERS SIGN PETITION. At a meeting of the Boar-1 of Trade Saturday evening it was decided that it would be more feasible to gravel clay all the streets in the city in pre ference to only paving certain portions of the city as was originally set out in the petition. The petition that is being circulated has not been changed as it would require an unlimited amount of work to secure the signatures of ill the people that have already signed. However, the change will be recom mended to the Board of Aldermen of the city at the meeting in which the subject of waterworks and paving wiil be brought up. Quite a number of citizens have signed the petition since the list of those signing was last published in this paper. Those signing since the list has been published are: H. R. Griffin, P. H. Coleman, E. M. Cherry. Henry Walston, S. D. Dunn. A. L. Purrington, J. B. Jones, Gideon Lamb, Alec Madry, Allen Allsbrook, W. F. Bell, G. F. Hopkins, G. L. Hy man, Sam Hoffman, W. M. Hancock, C. C.

Mr. Cider died a natural death this morning and will be buried in the gutter some ' time this week. Chief of Police Whitehead and Deputy Sheriff J. C. Branch went around early this morning and notified the "good merchants" not to sell any more cider, and if they did warrants would be issued for them and they would be prosecuted to the fullest ex tent of the law, and when Chief White head gives a command, "you'd better watch, out. " This is the outcome of a visit from R. L. Davis, Supt. Anti-Sa loon Leazue about three week ago. A meeting of the business men was held and they instructed the police and sher iff to request the cider dealers to stop selling, and if they refused they would be arrested for violating the prohibition law, but the chief and sheriff not be ing quite sure went to see the city at torney, R. C. Dunn, who in turn in structed them to wait until he looked into the matter and after lookink it up he told the chief to stop it. And you can rest assured, the chief is go ing to "stop it." Chief Whitehead be lieves in "being sure you are right then go ahead" and when the chier "goes ahead" evil doers had better look out. The freight agent has also been in structed not to deliver more than ene quart at the time and not ofterner than fifteen days.

Virginia's new ouster law, under which certain state and municipal officials may be removed from office for failure to en force laws and tor other causes, will go into effect next Saturday at mid night, and, according to reports from all parts of the state, edicts have gone forth for the rigid enforcement of all statutes, including the so-callod blue law, prohibiting any work on the sab bath except that "of charity or neces sity." In some cities, particularly Newport News, the municipal authorities are said to have instructed the police to prohibit even the printing and selling of newspapers, while in practically all cities drug stores will be allowed to dis pense only medicines. Cigar stores and soft drink places will be closed and au tomobile garages and jitneys prohibit ed from operation. Work in factories and at the coal merchandise piers t Norfolk and Newport News also may be stopped, it is said. The ouster law was passed for the purpose of ensuring rigid enforcement of the prohibition and anti-vice Jaws enacted by the last general assembly. Municipal officials, however, are said to be determined to take no chances and to prohibit practically all forms of activities on the Sabbath until th state courts shall decide what is ' work of charitv or necessity." - FRIDAY "The Port of Missing Men" featuring Arnold Daly, who starred is tita 'CtatcWas B4 Palace.
