WILSON WRITES
ANXIOUS WOMAN
Tells Her National Guard Is Not on
Border for Drill, but as Mat
ter of Necessity.

Washington, July 26.-In reply TO a
complaint from Mrs. Henry Smith of
Winamac, Ind, who has a son in the
national guard, President Wilson wrote
today that the guard was being kept
on the Mexican border to protect the
country, not for drill, and that the ser
vice the men were performing was an
honor to them and a necessity 10 the
United States.
The presidents letter was made pub
lie because many communications sim
liar to that of Mrs. Smith are being re
ceived. The letter follows:
Your letter OF July % distresses me
a good deal because il shows that you
have not been correctly informed az
TO the purpose Of having the national
guard at the boraer. II 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 10 them and a necessity TO the

the men in the national guard would
wish TO be excused from il or would
lose heart because OF the discomforts
and inconvenience of the service.
