 W|lH NICHTRID|NC

Armed with a warrant charging him with night riding, Deputy Sher- if Jake Summers ieft this morning for Guy to arrest Blake Hartwick, a farmer. who is alleged to have threatened George Battles, neigh bor, by depositing near his house a note warning him to leave the com munity under penalty.

 Battles found the threats yester- day morning. He notified local of iicers. onstable Bob King carried his bloodhounds to the scene. and it is said the dogs singled out Hart wick, who was near by. Hartwick denied any knowledge of the threats.
 Battles and Hartwick's brother, Willis llartwick, are said to have been on unfriendly terms for some time, due to a dispute over the di- vision of land. Blake Hartwick is said to have taken sides with his brother in the affair.

BISHOP SPEAKS ON
 MEXICAN SITUATION OPPOSES INTERVENTION
Bishop Francis ]. Mcconnell of Den yer Gives Reasons Against Mill
 tary Interference in Mexico.

Before intervening in Mexico, the United States should think quite a bit" said Bishop Francis J. McCon- nell of Denver, Colo, in an address on The Mexican Situation" last night at the First Methodist church. Bsh- op Mcconnell has had charge Of the Methodist church in Mexico for the past four years, and has made nu- merous trips into the interior, the last of which was in March. He has seen actual fighting between the two chief factions which now are at war. He was in Mexico City during a fight when 5000 were killed.
 Intervening would mean the polio ing of 1000 miles of railroads, quite a difficG't task in itself," said the bishop. There would be terrible butchers bill to pay. Thousands of Americans would die of tropical dis eases. which are quite prevalent in Mexico. Bandits, with numerous hid ing places in the wlds of the country. would have to be contended with. The scarcity of water and food would work hardship on the Americans. After conquering the Mexicans. the i United States would have to hold them under military guard, because when Uncle Sans back is turned they would scamper. The MeXicans are loyal people, and would stand by their leaders. They are fear ess and indif- ferent to death. They are unskilled in fighting, holding their guns down, using them as if they were hose.
 Intervention would be serious job"
 , Bishop Mcconnell said the funda- mental cause of the present outbreak in Mexico is the outgrowth of land troubles. When the Spanish con- querers invaded the country they took possession of all the lands. and have held 1t ever since," said the speaker. "Feudalism grew, the descendants of Cortez holding the lands and collect ing the rents, as they are doing now. Several leading MeXicans endeavored to have the land divided, but the
 
 ! brought on the present struggle" The government of Mexico is ruled with an iron hand, asserted Bishop | Mcconnell. Ut doesn't matter how you vote, it's who counts them" the speaker said. Among the Americans who are clamoring for intervention are owners of large tracts of land in Mexico, the bishop told his audience.
 "The way to handle the situation in Mexico is to give the Mexicans a Christian education," Bishop McCon- nell said. He said the Methodist church is sending $70,000 annually to Mexico for such purposes, and that 52 Methodist preachers are spreading the gospel in that country today. Conference statistics show that the percentage of educated men in Mex leo is larger than in any other dis trict of the church, he said.
 Bishop Mcconnell this morning spoke before the Ministers Confer ence at Hendrix College on "Christ's Attitude Toward the Scripture," and Christ and the Social Problems" /" combining the two. This afternoon he delivered an address on Leadership Demanded of Pastors Today" To- night at o'clock at the First Meth odist church he will talk on Christ as Teacher"

 Washington, June 19.-Nirtually he entire mobile strength of the na- tional guard of the United States was ordered mustered into the federal service last night by President Will son. About 100000 men are expected to respond to the call. They vii be mobilized immediately for such serv- ice on the Mexican border as later may be assigned to them.
 Gen. Frederick Funston. command ing the border forces, will designate the time and place for movements of guardsmen to the international line as the occasion shall require.
 In announcing the orders, Secretary Baker said the state forces will be employed only to guard the border and that no additional troop move ments into Mexico are contemplated except in pursuit of raiders.
 Simultaneously with the national guard call, Secretary Daniels of the navy department ordered additional war vessels to Mexican waters on both coasts to safeguard American lives.
 At the war navy and state depart mentS, it was stated that no new ad- vices as to the situation in Mexico 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 Pershing's ex- peditionary force has been followed by virtual ultimatum served on the American officer by General Trevino, the Mexican commander in Chihua- hua. To this was added yesterday the possibility that American and Mexican troops had clashed across the border from San Benito, Tex.
 Mobilization of the national guards men to support General Funston's s line will pave the way for releasing some 30,000 regulars for immediate service in Mexico m the event of open hostilities with the Carranza govern ment. The guardsmen themselves could not be used beyond the line without authority of congress and until they had volunteered for that duty 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. >o~ Telegrams calling for the militia were sent last night to the governors of all states except the three whose guardsmen already have been mus tered in, after an all-day conference at the war department attended by Secretary Baker, Major Genera Scott, chief of staff; Major General Bliss, chief of the mobile army, and Brigadier General Mills, chief of the militia division general staff. Briga. dier General McCombs, president oi the Army War College, also was con- suited. Since Mr. Baker did not fine it necessary again to confer witt President Wilson after his visit tc the White House last night, it was ap parent the decision to bring out the militia was reached then.

June waved her hand.
Back on the beach, Mary watched
the struggling Pietro, and tried des

move would be. His awful cries
would attract a larger crowd in a few
minutes.

there was a way of protecting June

the strap, just as a policeman came

poured from his thick oily lips.

Mary stepped forward and spoke to
the officer.

The patrolman raised his cap.

Mary he said pleasantly. yes, I
understood that someone had copied
the monkey; but what's he getting at,
drawing things on the back of his
hand and moving his fingers like he
was cutting paper?"
AS near as I can make out" Mary
answered slowly, "the person who
stole the animal cut the rope with
scissors and had mark of some kind
on the back Of her hand"
"A mark" the policeman jumped
eagerly at the word. Say, was it a
red mark-a Red Circle?" he asked
Pietro excitedly.
Seeing that at last someone was
beginning to understand, Pietro went
back into Italian hysteria. The
policeman turned again to Mary.
