EXPECT WITHDRAWAL NOW

By WEBB c. MILLER

COLUMBUS. n. NJ. July 5.-Among
military men here the feeling is grow
ing that orders will be given in a
short time for the withdrawal Of the
American expedition from Mexico
providing Carranza makes no hostile
move.
However. no step which could be
interpreted as preliminary to with
drawal has been taken, from appear
ances at this base The roads along
the expeditions communications still
are being repaired and supplies are
piling up in the American camps
Unofficial information reaching here
Is TO the effect that General Pershing
personally favors withdrawal II there
is to be no Intervention. Establish
ment Of heavy border garrisons and
patrols to guard against bandit raids
probably would follow retirement
from Mexico. In this connection It is
said that the militia would probably
be held on the border indefinitely.
A high authority in camp here said
that the continued presence OF the
United States troops in their present
position in Mexico has little justifica
ton.
From any viewpoint, we have no
a leg to stand on unless Intervention
is intended" he said.
'The avowed object OF the expedi
tion has been abandoned. The troop
are doing no good. either in protect
| ing American citizens or protecting
the border from raids. Their posi-
ton now is n thorn in the side of tn,
Carranza government"
The Western Massachusetts militia
men stationed In Columbus are to be
put through a strict course OF train
ing today. The Fourth yesterday was
a day Of complete rest for national
guardsmen. Cracker box writing
desks we're at a premium and hun
dreds of letters went forward to the
folks down east.
The health of the militia contingent
here is considered remarkable MOI

developed so far in Columbus. A cas'
Of smallpox in the Second Connect
