YOU these facts in order that We may

in Manhattan where a man who loves
a horse can drive him with safety. There

DOOMED TO FAILURE"
Statement Of the Case for With.
drawal From Mexico.

To II EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: From
the FIRST the success Of Pershing's mis-
sion was dependent upon the heading off
of Villa from the south either by Car
ranzista troops or by our W soldiers.
III the latter were to accomplish this
they would have had 10 make use Of
the railroads in Mexico. Permission to
do this being denied them and the Car
forces showing but little in
.clination to intercept Villas flight. his
escape was practically assured. barring
some unforeseen accident such as the
wound he Is reported TO have received.
Few realize the extent OF the noun
tain Businesses into which he has re-
treated. extending as they do into the
States Of Michoacan and Guerrero. For
our troops to follow him there is un-
.thinkable, and Carranza Is right In as
sorting that the presence of armed forces
of the United States so far from the
border would awaken resentment not
only among the ignorant Mexicans but
among all other classes as well. We
have only to imagine the situation re-
versed to recognize the Improperly Of
the whole proceeding. for We ourselves
would certainly not tolerate military
operations by Canadians or M~cxicans
within our territory, hundreds OF miles
from the northern or southern border. as
the case might be. n involving their
presence on our soil for an indefinite
period Of time.
As matters stand our men are en-
gagged in an undertaking that IL virtu-
ally doomed to failure so far as accom-
plishing its avowed object is concerned.
The presence OF American troops on
Mexican soil. no matter how circumspect
their behavior may be. is attended with
the grayest danger of serious complica-
tions, and II we wish to avoid these our
only course 10 open. humiliating as It
may be. IL to admit that We have again

To II F.niToR OF THE SuN-Str. As
