Sharp Answer to Mexicans.
Gen. PaIker's order to Maj. Edward
Anderson to move his troops back into
Texas came after an exchange of mes
eages with Gen. Ricaut through Con-
sui CARA. Gen. Ricaut plainly told
the American general that the force,
which he regarded as an invading
force. would be attacked unless it
withdrew.
Gen Parker replied that the bel
lce-ent attitude of the Mexican officer
was the best way to guarantee the
continuation of the presence of the
American soldiers in Mexico. He told
him that if attacked they would stay,
and gave him to understand that in
that case reinforcements would be sent
In numbers sufficient to withstand any

Gen. Ricaut became more concilia-

WITHDRAWAL OF GEN. PARKER
ASTONISF1ES ARMY OFFICERS
Although No Disposition to Criticise l
Shown, General Feeling Is That Action
Will Encourage Fresh Raids by Mexicans.

| Americans would have to traverse on
| their way home.
Fresh Raids Are Expected.
Whether the early termination of the
/ chase would have a salutary effect on
the bandit organizations that infest the
border for hundreds of miles was one
of speculation among army officers.
A majority of them expressed the
opinion that the effect would be to en-
| courage them to make fresh raids, be-
| lieving that if they could regain foot
| ing on the Mexican side they would be
safe from long pursuit.
Few. If any, of the officers here be-
| lieved that the raids had ended. and
Gen. Funston and his staff were study
ing carefully all reports affecting the
situation in which Gen. Pershing has
been placed, the reports of anti-Ameri-
can demonstrations in Mexico, unex-
planned movements of Mexican troops
and the news of disturbances along the
Arizona border. The military ma chinery
was gone over carefully today by staff
officers. and if any overt act of Car
ranza's troops should make it neces-
sary it could be set in motion without
loss of time.
Funston Approves Parker's Act.
Gen. Funston last night issued the
following statement regarding Gen.
Parkers action:
Gen. Parker carried out the orders
which he had received in a manner en-
tirely satisfactory to me, and in ac-
cordance with instructions which have
been received from the War Depart
ment. He had pursued the bandits that
raided American territory. driven them
from our soil, followed them to the
other side of the river, dispersed the
band. broke up their rendezvous and
remained in the vicinity while search
was being made for any further signs
of bandits. There being no further
sign of them, this morning he with
drew his troops to the American side.
During the pursuit of the bandits
one was killed and two wounded on the
American side yesterday. and today on
the Mexican side two others were
killed and some wounded.
of course, there are those who will
criticise. but they are not fully in
formed, and do not realize the con-
sequences that would have followed
had Gen. Parker taken any other line
of action.

morning that none will be permitted to
leave the armory unless they have or

brief period.
The quick mobilization of this COM
pany caused some of the members
considerable apprehension. and also
the mothers, wives and sweethearts of
the members. all of whom are anxious
to learn when this command expects
to leave the city.
Officers of the company stated today
that they may leave within the next
fA or ten days under orders. although
today IL could not be definitely stated
just when they expect to leave.
The full military strength is 10
members. and should the company leave
within the next few days a recruiting

RUSH OF RECRUITS
TO NATIONAL GUARD
Many Applications for Enlist

Following Rumors of War.

vanced 100 per cent today on rumors
of war.
This fittingly describes the status of
the District National Guard today in
the estimation of citizens of the Ma
tional Capital Members of the guard
were glad that they are members. and
scores of men made application to join
the ranks. 1t is a great day in the
history of the guard.
Early this morning, hours before the
beginning of the business day. the re-
cruiting Office opened about a week ago
by the District National Guard on
Pennsylvania avenue between 18th and
18th streets northwest was besieged
with applicants for enlistment The
preparedness parade held In this city
last Wednesday aided in greatly in
creasing enlistments in the organiza-
ton, but its effect was very small
compared with that resulting from
President Wilson's order mobilizing the
National Guard of the country.
Throng at Recruiting Station.
When Lieut.. George A. Monagan, re-
cruiting officer of the Sd Infantry, and
a force of sergeants arrived at the
depot, shortly before 9 o'clock, 1t was
necessary for them to fight their way
through crowd to get to the door of
I the building. Questions were fired at
them from all sides by the prospective
applicants. They were asked how long
the term of enlistment would be, the
pay that the private would receive,
when they were to go into camp at
Radio. Va. and many like things.
The questions for the most part came
standing. Among the first to take out
enlistment papers were government
clerks receiving salaries ranging from
800 to 5000 a month. A physicist at
the bureau of standards was one of
the applicants.

sistants took the names. places Of resi-
