Raleigh reports note that the Conference of State and County Councils of Defense adopted resolutions praising loyal North Carolinians while urging the expulsion of Senator Robt M LaFollette for wartime seditious remarks.

It warns such individuals will be punished. A second item notes General Porfirio Gonzales mobilizing 800 followers near Aldamas in Mexico, with Matamoros rail lines disrupted and no confirmation from the Mexican consulate.
