THE WELCOME HOME.

The service of the Virginia
militia ON the Mexican border has
been one of sacrifice for all Of
them. Home ties are broken. the
guardsmen's personal co m o r {
severely curtailed, and their bust
ness In most cases seriously af-
fectcd. Financial losses have re-
suited in various ways.
But with all this sacrifice the
men have willingly and gladly
taken up duty and training on the
border, anxious to serve their
country. and ready TO lay down
their lives for her glory, IL the
occasion arises.
1t Is this sacrifice and courage
that Richmond will honor when It
celebrates the homo coming OF the
troops. To aid in this welcome
the public IL asked to contribute
funds, sending them, In any
amount to Colonel Thomas b. Nc
Adams, Merchants National Bank,
or To The Richmond VirE1nian.

doomed up as the probable next move
in the tangle Mexican sit lation. 1t
was learned tonight from Mexican
sources that the Mexican diplomat has
arranged to take his departure i'm

pending negotiations by the joint
Mexican commission which has failed
to frame an agreement for the con-
duct of the affairs OF the two coun

Unless present plans are changed. the
Mexican ambassador designate will
leave Washington within fortnight,
without ever having been accorded
the privileges or performed the Of
fetal functions OF his Office
The critical developments in the
Mexican situation, consequent to the
Carranza refusal to accept the terms
OF the agreement submitted by the
American section of the Joint COM
mission. led diplomatic cir Giles to ac-
cept the information that Arredondo
was expected to leave. Washington
has known for some time that the
Carranza government WAS dissatisfied
with the delay in the res mption of
full diplomatic relations with tho
United States.

redondo has been nomnally the am

mated. President Wilson nominated
Henry P Fletcher as ambassador to
Mexico. He has never been accredited
and has as yet made no move toward
taking UP his residence in Mexico City.
For some months past the highest
American diplomatic official In Mex
leo City has been a clerk in the en-
bassy.
Whether Arredondo would be for
mally recalled or whether he would
simply leave Washington without for
NAL notice could not be ascertained
tonight. Diplomatic Washington
however, accepted the Information
that he was to leave as an indica
ton that the Carranga government will
make no concessions to the United
