Washington, Dec. 20.-The national

TEN before the senate subcommittee
on military. affairs
Fortunately, the Mexicans were
unframed troops" he added, and our
purpose to protect the border was ac-
complished by the mere presence of
our men without firing a shot
I'VE never contemplated sending
the national guard over the border
until they were trained, although we
sat up until 2 and o'clock every
morning at the war department ex-
pecting message saying that the
fight was on.
I'VE feel that the national guard
would have destroyed themselves in
marching had they been sent through
that hard country.
General Pershing's troops made
phenominal marches There was not
a national guard organization that
could have done it. II would have
killed both men and horses"
General Scott said there were 30.

shing expedition and $4,000 more op.
posite Douglas, where great Ameri.
can interests are located These were
the points where he looked for attack

because it was all we had, and we
wanted the Mexicans to see that sol

some units almost unequipped."
'Do you think this mobilization was
beneficial for our country" asked
Senator Brady.
Il do answered General Scott at
was very beneficial. 1t prevented an
attack and gave protection to Ameri
