Mexico About to Get in Line.

Ell Paso. Texas.-Since the pro-ally
campaign in Mexico started by Ell
Universal in Mexico City, the senti,
ment favoring the allies has reached
northern Mexico, and during the past
thirty days a well-defined movement
savoring an open break with Germany
and the alignment of Mexico on the

oped. This has been in spite of the
pro-German sentiments published daily
in Chihuahua City and in other pa

Germans in the north.

PRESIDENT ISSUES PROCLAIM.
TON CALLING GUARDsMEN
INTO RANKS.
TO SEE SERVICE IN FRANCE
Guardsmen Will be Modified July IS
and Is and Will Enter Federal Ser
vice August 5-Then Available For
Foreign Duty.

Washingotn.-The last step neces-
sary to make the entire national guard
available for duty in France was taken
by President Wilson with the issu-
nee of a proclamation drafting the
state troops into the army of the Uni
ted States on August S. To make GER
tain that the purpose of the national
defense act is carried out, the proc
lamation also specifically declares the
men drafted to be discharged from the
old militia status on that date. In
that way, the constitutional restraint
upon the use of militia outside the
country is yoided and the way paved
for sending the regiments to the Euro
pean front.
Prior to the application of the draft,
regiments in the northern and eastern
section of the country are called into
the federal service as national guards
men in two increments, to be mobil-
lied IN July Is and 25. Many units al
ready are f%ederalized and presumably
they will be modified with the other
torops from their states. The guard
from the other states will be modified
on the cay of the draft. The arrange
ment was necessary to provide for
movement of the regiments south to
concentration camps without conges-
ton, and to the same end the division
of states into these increments was
revised from the original schedule.
The operative date of the draft was
delayed until August S so that all reg
iments can be taken into the army
simultaneously to avoid inequalities in
n relative rank Of officers.
: Fourteen Camps Selected.
Fourteen camp sites for the sixteen
tactical divisions into which the guard
will be organized for wal purposes
have been selected and the militia bu-
reau is preparing the railway routing
of the troops to the camps. Seven of
the sites selected are in the southeast
ern department, five in the southern
and two in the western. The two 9TH
ers will be in the southeastern depart

East St. Louis, Ill.-A fedora. inves-

WILSON ORDERS EXPORT
PROVISION INTO OPERATION
Becomes Effective July 15.-complete
Embargo Of Foodstuffs Considered.

Washington Government control
of American exports authorized in a
provision OF the espionage act, was or
dered put into operation July Is by
President Wilson in a proclamation
putting under license shipments to all
countries of the most important ex-
port commodities.
In a statement accompanying the
proclamation, the President declared
the governments policy will be first
to give consideration to American
needs; next, to meet as far as pos
sible the requirements of the allies,
and lastly to supply the neutral coun-
tries wherever practicable. 1t is
made clear that every effort will be
made to see that no supplies reach the
central powers.
The commodities named in the list
put under control are coal, coke, fuel,
oils, kerosene and gasoline, including
bunkers, food grains, flour and meal,
fodder and feeds, meats and fats, pig
iron, steel billets, ship plates and
structural shapes, scrap iron and scrap
steel; ferro manganese fertilizers.
arms, ammunition and explosives.
The inclusion of foodstuffs in the
proclamation lends color to statements
that the administration is considering
the a%dvisability Of a complete embar-
go for sixty days on all food ship
ments to give the country time to as
cribe the amounts of its supplies and
to give allied and neutral countries
opportunity to present a full program
O ftheir requirements.

MAJOR GENERAL WOOD
INSPECTS CHARLOTTE SITES
During One Days Stay He Visits
Three Sites and Delivers Two

addresses.
Charlotte.-Geeneral Leonard Wood,
commander of the United States army,
department of the southeast, spent
Thursday, July 5, in Charlotte, and it
was a busy day for the distinguished
soldier and citizen.
In addition to inspecting three pos.
sible sites for an army camp which
it is hoped will be located at Char.
addresses, one to an audience OF
thousands on the First Presbyterian
church lawn at six o'clock in the
evening, and the other following the
banquet served at the Selwyn hotel
in his honor at $50 o'clock. For no
matter how busy the general is, and
in these stirring times of preparation
that America may do her part in the
world-struggle for democracy no mar
is buster, he always finds time to
preach the doctrine of preparedness
and never loses al opportunity to say
a word, wherever he may be, that will
help to stir the American public to a
realization of the gravity of the crisis
with which the American nation is
confronted.
In his rather blunt, but direct and
soldierly way, General Wood told
North Carolinians a good many things
they had probably not heard or
thought of before, and it is not to be
questioned that he went away from
Charlotte leaving the people of this
city a deeper sense of duty and obi.
CATION that falls upon every citizen
in this time of national peril.

CROP FORECAST SHOWS
BILLION BUSHEL INCREASE
Tremendous Gain Over Last Year is
Indicated.

westinghouse billion bushels in
crease over last years production in
the principal food crops is the re-
Spouse American farmers have made
to President Wilson's mid-April ap-
peal saying that upon them "rests the
rate of the war and the fate of ma
tons"
The extent of the farmers response
was disclosed when a production of
6,093,000 900 bushels of principal food
crops was forecast in the department
Of agriculture's July crop report. It
shows this years corn crop will be
the largest in history, except one, and
that four, and possibly five, other
crops will make new high records.
The corn crop, which, with favora-
BILE weather from now on, may equal
the number yield of 1912, shows an
increase of SAL, OOO, 900 bushels over
last year, with a total of 3,124,O00, 900
bushels. The acreage is fourteen per
cent larger than last year.
The combined winter and spring
wheat crop will be 38, 0 0 900 bushels
more than last years with a total of
67S,0 00, 900 bushels.
Barley, with prospects of the third
largest crop ever grown, will exceed
last years production by 81 5000, 00O
bushels with an output of 3d. 900 ,OO0
bushels.
Oats promise to exceed last years
crop by 2O1,O OO, 900 bushels, the total
production being forecast at 1853,
100000 bushels. That is slightly I'm.
der the record. improvement between
now and harvest, howeevr, may re
suit in a record crop.
White potato production of a % l.
per cent increase in acreage, will be g
record crop with 452, 600, 900 bushels
or 167, 000, 900 bushels more than las
year, not taking into account the
home garden production which thi;
year is estimated to be much larger
than leSsr before.
