TROOPS ON BORDER TO
GUARD COUNTRY, PRESIDENT
WRITES ANXIOUS MOTHER

WASHINGTON, d. C.-m reply to
complaints from Mrs. Henry Smith,
of Winamac, Ind, who has son in
the National Guard, President Wilson
wrote today as follows:
"Your letter of July % distresses
me good deal because it shows that
you have not been correctly informed
as to the purpose of having the Nat
ional Guard at the border 1t is not
for the purpose of drill, but for the
purpose of protecting the country.
The service the men are performing
there is an honor to them and ne
cessity to the United States. / cannot
believe that the men in the National
Guard would wish to be excused from
it or would lose heart because of the
discomforts and inconvenience of the
service. 3. r.
"The War Department has the
camps on the border under the most
careful inspection and is using every
means to make them sanitary and
safe against disease The health re.
cord of the men on the border, both
the regulars and the National Guards
men, is exceptionally good.
Il would net have you think that
do not sympathize with your dis
tress in the absence of your son. but
beg that you take these larger mat.
tiers into consideration"
