Chicago. March 25.-Heavy rains
southwest caused the price Of wheat
today to ease off as the dearth of
moisture recently in that direction has
been a serious handicap to growth.
Besides there were predictions Of
larger receipts. The fact that Liver
pool quotations were unchanged
counted also against the bulls. Open
ing prices, which ranged from 70 to
u lower, with May at 1.OsN to 1.OsA
and July at 1.O6b to Y, were followed
by slight rally and then a new down
turn.
The close was unsettled, A@h to M

Corn.
Corn weakened under selling from
Spectators. The big stocks here and
the wheat decline appeared to furnish
the motive. After opening u and Y

National Guard Called Out
Iron do Washington PostO

be merged and used as a unit.
The government has before it in the
Mexican situation solemn warning TO
be prepared. The guardsmen should
have been ordered out many weeks ago
when Carranza first disclosed his pur-
pose TO thwart the United States in
pursuing Villa. The sole aim of the
Pcrshing expedition is to pursue and
punish the border bandits. and there
can be no satisfactory outcome
of the Mexican imbroglio which does not
dispose of the danger of further raids
into American territory.
Now a clash is imminent, which may
compel the United States either to send
pcrShng forward or backward. Pershing
if attacked. must not only rcpel his as
-aiants, but move against them. dis
perse them and complete the task as
signed To him. The enforced delay IN
pursuing the Villa bandits has worked
10 the advantage of the enemies of the
tuited States. among whom Carranza
must now be classed, since he is shield
ing Villa.
As pcrshng's forces are needed IA
pursue and scatter the bandits, and as
the forces along the border are palpably
too few to prevent raids into American
territory. IL was the obvious duty of the
government to call out the guardsmen
and send them to Gen. Funston.
