Defying Carranza, Mex- ico’s defacto President’s demand for a withdrawal of the United States troops from Mexican soil President Wilson, on Tuesday, sent what is be- lieved will be the last note to pass be- tween the two governments. In it he not only flatly refused to withdraw the troops but told Carranza that the United States government would pro- tect its border citizens of the United States on Mexican soil, and no troops would be withdrawn until the Mexi- can defacto government gives proof that it is able to eliminate or con- trol the bands of marauding bandits that threaten invasion of our terri- tory. ; NATIONAL GUARDS CALLED OUT. Anticipating trouble and not to be caught napping President Wilson on Sunday sent to the Governor of every State in the Union a request that they mobilize their National Guards and have them in readiness to do guard duty, in the event that all the regular army is needed in Mexico. This does not mean that the Presi- dent contemplates an immediate invasion of that country , but in the event of any Mexican army attacking Gen, Pershing’s force now in Mexico, reinforcements will be rushed to their assistance and once hostilities begin the United States cannot leave murdering bandits that are now be- coming such a menace to the peace between the two countries. Should war result it will take the entire strength of all the National Guards in the United States which is over 100,000 enlisted men and officers, to guard the border; and these eventually may be sent into Mexico and volunteers called for to do guard duty. Of course, every peace-loving citizen hopes that war may yet be avoided, but at this writing the chances are much against it. TROOP L GETTING IN SHAPE. News that the President had called for the National Guard reached Bellefonte on Monday morning and naturally created some excitement. Captain H. L. Curtin, commanding Troop L, of the First cavalry, got in communication with National Guard headquarters in Harrisburg and was ordered to have his Troop mobilized by Thursday and hold them subject tn orders. He at once got busy and it was necessary to enlist some recruits to get the troop up to the minimum strength, sixty- five officers and men, required to go to the mobilization camp. He has succeeded in doing this but the armory is still open for re- cruits, ‘as it is probable the Troop will have to be recruited to a war ba- sis, which is one hundred officers and men. TROOP WILL LEAVE SUNDAY MORNING. Captain Curtin received orders on Wednesday to have his Troop in the mobilization camp at Mt. Gretna by 1.30 p. m. Sunday, which means that they will have to leave here at an early hour Sunday morning, although at this writing the time is not known. The Troop will®go without mounts, but will take their horse equipment and all camp equipment, as well as one day’s rations. The soldier boys have been busy at the armory most of the week pack- ing and getting everything in readi- ness for a quick move. All the officers of the company will be sworn into the service of the United States be- fore they leave Bellefonte, but the rank and file will not be sworn in until they have passed an examination in the mobilization camp at Mt. Gretna. THE PAY THE MEN WILL DRAW. The following will be the pay of those who are accepted by the United States: Major general, $666.67 per month; brigadier general, $500; col- onel, $333.33; lieutenant colonel, $291.67; major, $250; captain, $300; first lieutenant, $166.67; second lieu- tenant, $141.67; first sergeant, $45; sergeant, $30; corporal, $21; private, $15. A FAREWELL FOR THE TROOP. The Bellefonte Lodge of Elks will pay the Troop the tribute of a public farewell on Saturday evening at 8.30 o’clock, when a‘meeting will be held at the Elks home on High street. Our Boys band of Milesburg has been en- gaged for the occasion and as the soldier boys stand at attention in the street they will be addressed by Burgess Edmund Blanchard, Judge Henry C. Quigley and Col. H. S. Tay- lor, known far and wide as one of the most enthusiastic National Guard men in the State. He will be the principal speaker. It will be the last opportunity to see the Troop en masse until they leave Bellefonte midst’ of them. ? early Sunday morning on their trip anything undone to wipe out the to Mt. Gretna, and it might be the final farewell for some of them. PERSONNEL OF THE TROOP. Troop L is made up entirely of young men from Bellefonte, State College and surrounding country, and there is no doubt if they are sent to the front they will do their duty, in whatever capacity it may be. They are all a clean, fine lot of fellows, and are officered by men who are every inch of them gentlemen. The full roster of the Troop as it will leave Bellefonte is as follows: OFFICERS. Captain, H. L. Curtin. First Lieut., Edward R. Taylor. Second Lieut., Claude W. Smith. First Serg’t.. Wilbur E. Saxion. Quartermaster Serg’t., Paul L. Wetzel. Sergeants, Lee R. Smith. a .C. Fromm 5 Harry W.

Just as soon as Troop L has been recruited to its full army strength of S. Taylor will start work on recruit- ing a new Company or Troop. He now has in his possession in the neighbor- hood of two hundred and fifty re- quests from young men in different parts of the State who want to serve under him, in the event of war, and he is patriotic enough to recruit . the company on his own responsibility and then offer the services of all to the government, if needed. All of which shows that the spirit of 76, or the chivalry which induced men to an- swer the call for volunteers in 1861 and 1862 is not dead by any means, and that Americans are just as will- ing and ready to fight for their coun- try in a just cause as the citizens of any other nation on the earth. F irst Battle Reported. Forty Americans Reported Slain by Mexicans. Seventeen Taken Prisoners. El Paso, Texas, June 21.—American and Carranza troops fought a bloody battle today only a few hours after President Wilson’s six thousand word rebuke yesterday to General.Carranza had gone forward to Mexico City. With which side victory rested is not known. The engagement took place on the Santo Domingo ranch near the Mexi- can town of Carrizal, which is nine miles southwest of Villa Ahumada, the Mexican field headquarters in northern Chihuzhua. The number of dead, American or Mexican, was not definitely ‘known here tonight, but nearly a score of General Pershing’s men are said to have been killed and the Mexicans are said to have lost more than two score. Seventeen Americans are declared by Mexican officials to have been captured and-to have been hurried to Chihauhau City under adequate guard. A machine gun used by the Mexicans is reported to have done heavy execution. The Americans engaged are thought to have been members of a troop from the Tenth cavalry, a Negro regiment, returned from a scouting trip to Guzman. The size of the Mexican force, whose commander General Feliz Gomez, was killed, is not known. News of the battle was received in Jaurez early this afternoon by Gen- eral Francisco Gonzales, Carranza commander of the military zone of the border. For some reason Gener- al Gonzales kept the story secret un- til late in the afternoon when an American, J. C. Hupple, returning to the border from the interior brought to El Paso the news that he had’seen numbers of Mexican dead along the Mexican Central railroad tracks at Villa Ahumada, .and had been told that there had been an en- counter. Columbus, N. M., June 21.—Gen- eral Pershing, the American expedi- tionary commander, is re-disposing his entire force as a result of today’s clash with Carranza troops at Carri- zal, according to reports from the field today. Heavy forces, ready for immediate action are being concentra- ted at Namiquipa, 200 miles south of the border and at Colonia Dublan, 120 miles south. Dispatches also said that American scouting patrols have penetrated the Santa Clara canyon, about 35 miles directly east of Nami- quipa. one hundred officers and men Col. H.' How Do You Feel About it? Several members of Gregg Post have suggested the idea that if ever there was a time for Bellefonte to do | something on July 4th the coming na- tional holiday will be that time. With many of our young men al- ready on their way to the front to de- fend the nation it would be especially appropriate if we who are at home show some outward evidence of the same spirit that is inspiring them. ~ It need not be a display of pomp and pretentiousness; merely some un- usual outpouring that will convey to the younger generations the knowl- edge that their fathers and mothers, their big brothers and their big sis- ters revere the day that marks the culmination of the struggle of the people of these United States for freedom; we older folks grown stolid in our actions still cherish in our hearts the love which we would have our children cultivate for the flag. How do you feel about a grand pa- rade of residents of the town. No uni- forms, no ‘special organizations, no onerous. preparation, just a voluntary turnout for a parade of the streets with a few bands to lend the inspira- tion of martial airs. Talk to-your neighbor about it. Let some member of Gregg Post know how you feel. Bellefonte School Teachers Elected.

Mrs. Krick is a cousin of Mrs. Seibert, of this place. A Deer Visits H. E, Corman. Evidently wanting to get out of the mountains to spend a day in civiliza- tion a large deer paid a visit to sev- eral farms in Nittany Valley last Saturday morning. When H. E. Corman came out of his house near the Fishing Creek school house, two miles east of this place, early that morning he saw the deer coming down through his grain field. It cleared the fence in a graceful leap and walked into his grass field in front of the house. After calling his family to see the unusual sight he shouted at the deer, whereupon it turned and trotted back the way it had come and disappeared in the brush on the Karstetter place. It was full three miles from the mountain. A deer is said to have been in Tom- my Williams’ yard at Pleasant Gap, on Tuesday, and it might have been the same one that paid the visit to Mr. Corman.
