WITHDRAW FROM MEXICO
General Funston's Report on Keeping
Regulars Over Border.

Washington-Stat department Off
recommended that the American
troops under General Pershing be
withdrawn from Mexico. General
Funston's recommendation was con-
tanned in a recent report on the mill
tary situation made at the request Of
the war department and designed for
use by the joint commission which
will discuss border problems.
The recommendation is regarded as
the first step by President Wilson to-
ward withdrawing the Pershing expe-
dition High army officials predict
that all American troops would be out
of Mexico by September Is.
Secretary of War Baker refused eth
er to deny or confirm the report that
the troops were to be withdrawn.
One reason for withdrawing the
troops now is stated to be the APP
proach of the rainy season which will
make it difficult to keep the troops
in good health. 1t is pointed out that
most of the sickness in the army is
in General Pershing's command,
where the regulars show a much
higher percentage of incapacitated
men than the unhardened guardsmen
who are on American soil.
General Carranza has insisted that
the first question to be considered by
the commission be the withdrawal OF
son insisted on broadening the scope
of the commissions work to include
questions of finance. border patrol
and protection of American life and
property. The elimination of the main
question. the settlement OF which
caused the suggestion by Carranza of
the appointment Of the commission,
leaves nothing but the secondary
questions to be considered.
