by Return of Par

BANDITS DISPERSED,'
GENERAL EXPLAINS
Speedy Retirement Averted a
Clash with Mexicans -
Future Trouble Seen.

San Antonio, Tex. Juno l8.-The
withdrawal OF several hundred Amerl-
can troops sent into Mexico yesterday
by General James Parker, near
Brownsville, in pursuit of bandits was
announced here tonight.
On the way out armed men, charac-
terized by General Parker as bandits,
opened n sniping fire or the retreating
column, making necessary a light rear
guard action, resulting in the killing
Of three Of the attacking party and
the wounding Of several others. No
American was hit.
General Parker explained his with
drawal to General Funston, by saying
that he regarded the dispersal OF the
bandits, the object of the expedition,
as accomplished.
Unconcealed astonishment was shown
at headquarters, when 1t WAS learned
that tho Americans were back on this
side OF the line. although there was
displayed no disposition to criticise
General Parker 1t was realized that
longer stay on the Mexican side
probably would have caused clash
between the Americans and the troops
of the de facto government.
II was feared. however, that the pre-
cedent of so quick withdrawal might
make more difficult similar operations
along the border when it became neces-
sary TO chase bandits across the line
into Mexico.
Whether the early termination Of
the chase would have salutary effect
on the bandit organizations that infest
the border for hundl DIS of miles was
one Of speculation among army Of
fcers. majority expressed the
opinion that the effect would be to en-
courage them 20 make fresh raids, be-
lieving that if they could regain a
footing on the Mexican side they would
be safe from long pursuit.
Few, if any, officers here believed
that the raids had ended. General
Funston and his staff carefully went
over the situation to-day and troops
could be set in motion Immediately.
News that Presi ent Wilson had
called out the national guard was re-
ceived in press dispatches by General
Funston, who, il was understood, sug-
gested to General Scott that all or
ganizatons not already fit for service
be held at their home stations This
plan would not prevent the dispatch
Immediately, however, OF guardsmen Of
at least three or four states which are

HAY FEVER RELIEF
MOVEMENT PLANNED

Cincinnati. O., Oct. 27.-A national
campaign against snee2e producers

DIR. Scheppegrell said one per cent of
the population of the United States

annual period of sneezing and snuffling
DR.. Scheppegrelrs association is engag-
ed in q nation wide publicity and edu-
cational campaign on the relationship
of pollen to hay-fever and for the pass
age of laws for the eradication Of weeds
that cause the disease.
Education in the relationship of
pollens TO ha. fever has made the most
satisfactory progress during the past
year." said DR.. Scheppegrell. THE pub
lie was first impressed with the fact
that the principal cause of hay-fever
in the United States, were the rag
weeds, whose pollen during the months
of August and September filled the
atmosphere with their irritating pol
lens, and that these, as well as most of
the other plants which cause hay fever,
had already been outlaw-d by the agri-
cultural interests

cution of the violators of the grass and
