WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-The ad-
binistration hopes to withdraw the
National Guard from the Mexican bor-
Der by November /. This hope, accord.
ing to persons close to the admins
Lration, is based on the belief that the
lolnt commission to settle the Mexi-
can disputes will be able to complete
It's work by the end Of October.
The representatives OF the United
States and Of the defacto government
bf Mexico are expected to complete
their task of settling the points at
Issue without lengthy parleys. This
settlement will include guarantees Of
the Carranza government of the safety
Of life and property of foreigners in
Mexico. it is indicated.
II is planned to withdraw the reg
ular army forces from Mexican soil
and TO have them continue on patrol
duty on the border. This will give
Major General Funston about 1l.0OO
more regulars than he has now on a
similar duty. and would permit the de-
mobilization Of the entire National
Guard.
Secretary Of War Baker yesterday
IN answering a score OF letters from
many parts of the country complain
ing that the State troops we're being
held in service after the emergency
for which they we're called out ap-
parently had passed, intimated that it
was the administrations policy to
keep the National Guard on the bor-
der only so long as American lives
and PROPERTY are in danger.
BY its presence on the border, he
wrote to one, the guard is winning
bloodless victories daily He de-
clared that Americans resident along
the international line were enjoying a
peace and security they could not
know without the military forces TO
protect them.
The department appreciates. Mr..
Baker said in another letter. the fact
that a call for military service upon
militia organizations Must inevitably
present cases OF hardship" He added:

required this call for the militia was
one of a grave character, affecting

 WILSON ON NOTE W |l SEEKING PEACE

Washington, Dec. 21.-President Wilson received today from William Jennings Bryan telegram congratu- lating him on his note to the bellig- erents. The telegram follows:
 You have rendered an invaluable service to the war-stricken world. in asking the belligerent nations to set forth in specific terms the conces- sions and assurances which they deem necessary to the establishment of lasting peace. It would be a reflection upon the nations at war to doubt that they know the end for which they are fighting, or to assume that they have any purposes which they are unwilling to reveal. A defl- nite statement by both sides, no mat ter how far these statements may be apart, will clear the air and afford a basis for negotiations, and when ne- gotiations begin, they are not likely to be terminated until an agreement is reached, because neither side will consent to assume responsibility for continuing the unspeakable horrors Of this conflict, if any reasonable terms can be secured. Accept cordial con- gratuIations and my earnest wish for the success of the movement which. you have had the honor to inaugur- ate"
