President of the United States today
called on State militia TO assist the
regular forces in an international crisis.
The militia in Texas, Arizona and
New Mexico were ordered out. Use OF
these citizen troops should not call for
action by Congress at this time since
they will be used only for patrol duty
along the border. At present there are
5000 regulars in Mexico and about
10000 along the border.

Now, though. these chaps in khaki are
coming back. and they are getting

more often than not they are in great

The great effort of the congress is
being expended in trying to interest
men and women to cooperate In this
work for purer, truer homes, in the be-
lief that to accomplish the best work
men and women must work together.

There are three kinds of wounded. in

the wounded are taken to waiting am

But they are not excluded from the
