to safeguard the border towns by vlr-
tually policing the area south Of the
line where General Carranza hereto
fore has been unable TO check bandit
operations.
Recommended BY Funston.

proyal Of the redisposition plan after
consulting with the President over

eral Funston and Major-General Scott.

der. The plan was proposed by Cen
eral Funston and concurred in by Con
eral Scott. The Secretary announced

lows:

for the purpose Of recuperatlon and
pending opportunities for further CO

and its execution left TO his discre-
ton"

lowing:

Gates nothing whatever on the subject
of when the American troops will be
Withdrawn from Mexico The whole
subject of withdrawal OF the forces is
under arrangement and negotiation by
the State Department"
