10000 MORE TROOPS
Will Be Sent From the Border to Their
Home States.

San Antonio, Tex, Dec. l9.-National
Guard organizations aggregating l6,OoC
troops yesterday were designated by
Gen. Funston To leave the border and re-
turn TO their respective states to be mus
tered out of the federal service. He act
ed in compliance with war department
instructions.
Washington, Dec. l9.--It was officially
stated at the war department last night
that the order for the return of 10000
National Guardsmen for muster out OF
the federal service was not TO be con-
strued as foreshadowing movement out
of Mexico by Gen. Pershing's column
Officials also explained that force OF
$4,000 guardsmen would be maintained
on the border until Pershing was with
drawn and that yesterdays order merely
was in pursuance of the previously an
nounced policy to reduce the militia in
the field to the minimum necessary.
Gen. pershings withdrawal depends
largely on the action of Gen. Carranza on
the agreement submitted to him recently
by the Mexican American commissioners
which authorizes a conditional recall OF
the American troops in Mexico within "a
days from the day it is signed by the
two governments.

NEW YORK, October 31.-The attitude
OF the Boy Scouts Of America is not that
which was made the basis OF the resolu-
tions adopted by the Massachusetts
branch of the American Federation of
Labor. it is stated here by James
E. West, chief scout executive of the
National Council Of the scout organiza-
ton Mr. West said that message re-
ceived here from Charles 9. Jack
son asserted that the latter's remarks had
been distorted. as he had not alluded to
labor unions, but had appealed for a
larger and more intelligent participation
in civic affairs
The resolution was evidently based
On an incomplete and misleading &C.
count of What Mr.. Jackson actually
said" Mr.. West added. THE Boy Scouts
of America has had the official support
of the American Federation of Labor
for years. and we believe the record of
what we are actually accomplishing for
the sons of labor men and our country.
az well as the policy of the national
council to avoid participation in po-
litical affairs. win warrant the con
tinuance Of this support, as well as of
all labor men individually"
