Captain Bulwinkle received in structions to recruit Company B, to 65 and then to increase the number to 142. When this information was made known considerable excite ment was occasioned especially a mong the youth of the city. The Armory began to fill with would-be soldiers and within a short time yesterday afternoon about 15 volunteers had been enlisted. Cir culars were distributed by Captain Bulwinkle asking for recruits and the town took on the appearance of a garrison when the new recruits were sandwiched in between the regulars and drilled for an hour or so in front of the Armory. Captain Bulwinkle expects to enlist a num ber of men from several of the near by towns. There were a great many boys who were anxious to get a trip to Mexico and asked to be allowed to sign enlistment cards but they were debarred because of their age.

IB 1 '(DIM President Wilson Issues Order Call ing All .State Militia Out for Ser vice Guarding Mexican Border Hundred Thousand Troops Now Mobilizing Funston Now Has 40,04)0 Keffular ln Mexico Situation Assumes More Serious Astect. An Associated Press dispatcn sent out from Washington Sunday night and appearing in Monday morning's papers says in part: Virtually the entire mobile strength of the National Guard ot all States and the District of Colum bia was ordered mustered into the Federal service tonight by President Wilson. About 100, 000 men are expected to respond to the call. They will be mobilized immediately ror such service on the Mexican border as may later be assigned to them, Gen. Frederick Funston, com manding the border forces will des ignate the time and place for move ments of guardsmen to the inter national line as the occasion shall re quire. In announcing the orders Secre tary Baker said the State forces would be employed only to guard the border and that no additional troop movements into Mexico were contemplated except in pursuit of raiders. Simultaneously with the National Guard call. Secretary Daniels of tne Navy Department ordered addition al war' vessels to Mexican waters on both coasts to safeguard American lives. At the War, Navy and State De partments it was stated that no new advices as to the situation ln Mexico had come to precipitate the new or ders. Within the last two weeks, how ever, tension has been increasing steadily. The crisis presented by General Carranza's note demanding the recall of General Perishing B ex peditionary force has heen followed by a virtual ultimatum served on tne American officer by General Trevlno, Mexican commander in Chihuanua. To this was added yesterday the pos sibility that American and Mexican troops had clashed across the border from San Benito, Texas. Administration officials made no attempt to conceal tonight their re lief over the safe return of Major Anderson's cavalry squadron to Brownsville, after their successful bandit chase. The troopers crossed in pursuit of bandits in the face of intimations that they would be at tacked if they did so. General Fun ston himself reported that he an ticipated fighting, presumably witn Carranza troops. Mobilization of the National Guardsmen to support General Fun ston s line will pave the way for re leasing some 30,000 regulars for im mediate service in Mexico in the event of open hostiliitles with tne Carranza Government. The guards men themselves could not be used beyond the line without authority of Congress and until they had volun teered for that dutv as they are called out under the old militia law. The new law, which would make them available for any duty under the Federal Government goes Into effect July 1. The entire mobile regular army in the United States, several provisional regiments of regular coast artillery, serving as infantry, and the Na tional Guard of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona are now on the border or in Mexico. Definite figures never have been made public, but it is un derstood General Funston has about 4 0,000 regulars, and probably 5,000 or more guardsmen of whom 10,000 regulars are with General Perishing or scattered along his line of com munications from Namiquipa, Mex ico, to Columbus, N.

The building was taxed to its seating capacity by mem bers of all denominations, there be ing no services in any of the church es in the central part of the city. The discourse, which was an ex cellent one, was based on first Corinthians, the fourth chapter and second verse, "Moreover it is re quired in stewards, that a man be found faithful." With this passage as the central thought the speaker built up a strong sermon which was especially appropriate to the occas ion. "Fidelity" was the keynote of the speaker's remarks and he used numerous illustrations showing tne reward of a faithful servant both in this life and the life that is to fol low. lie made an earnest plea to the young people of the graduating class to seek to obtain that fidelity which money could not buy nor enemies destroy . Be faithful in noble things, admonished the speaker, for with out that fidelity of purpose of which Paul wrote the Corinthians you will never accomplish much; with that fidelity you can overfome the most difficult obstacles in life. It mat ters not in what work you are call ed, said the speaker, be faithful ana loyal to the cause which you repre sent, even to the minutest detail.
