- admitted at General Funston's
headquarters last night that or
ders for the withdrawal Of General
Pershing's command, south of the Dor
der, in Mexico, may be expected at any
time. The feeling is that the de facto

be good and is showing an unexpected
amount Of energy in rounding up the
bandits in southern Chihuahua and
Durango and in Sonora. JE1.a ...
This, it was declared, is all that the
United States government has ever
asked from the Carranzista chiefs, and
now that il is being done and there 10
every evidence Of ultimate success, the
American authorities are willing to
withdraw from Mexico in order to
show good faith and to give Carranza
n free hand in the ttiement of CON
ditions in Mexico, whore, 1t is admit
ted, great care and infinite patience u
needed. ~ @ai"% .... .. ~
