(SDecial to The Dispatch.) Raleigh, June 13. Governor Bickett appeals to the State to do its part in the Red Cross work, and that part is $350,000. The proclamation is one of the briefest, but one of the most eloquent of his utterances on the war. It has a companion piece in a speech of a few words delivered by telegram in Charlotte in the effort to boost the Liberty Loan, which has moved too indifferently to please his Excellency. This speech was not mads in person, but was sent hy wire while the Gov ernor pulled all the strings possible in getting the v.'ar machinery of the State at work. In Wake county Collector J. W. Bai ley has been placed at the head of the Red Cross campaign and Wake is expected to raise $35,000. The collec tor is deeply of the conviction that those who have money are the worst of slackers if they do not provide now the means of caring for those soldiers who must go to the front. In that spirit he has begun his appeal to his own people, and Bailey, who has made something of a record In the collec tiop of vagrant moneys for the gov ernment, may be counted to mobilize even from .tight-wads many a dollar that will do service for the boys who must fight.

The men of one of the regiments arrested the commander and seven officers, tore their badges from their uniforms and beat two, officers, leaving one insen sible on the road. A regimental com mittee resolved1 that the regiment should not move; thereupon a loyal committee of soldiers of the whole army, after deliberating with the army staff, pronounced for stern meas ures against the mutineers, the lead er of whom was named Philipoff.

When the loyalist general had occupied positions against the muti neers, he sent an ultimatum to them, demanding the surrender of the ring leader; that they take up positions as ordered, and that they undertake to serve faithfully in the future. The mutinous soldiers, seeing that they were surrounded, attempted to j negotiate, but at the last moment Phil ipoff incited them to4 new resistance. The loyalist general immediately or dered his guns into action, whereupon the rebels unconditionally accepted the ultimatum and surrendered Phili poff and others, who were taken to prison in an automobile. The loyalist reserve troops became ehraged and fired on the automobile, but their com mander, in order to save the prison ers' lives, jumped into the machine, whereupon the firing ceased.
