United States to Reply Today.
IRy Assoeiatsd Press.i

Washington. March l3.-The United
States will reply to carranzA's reques,
for reciprocal arrangements for the
crossing OF troops at the Mexican Dor.
der late today. after Secretary OF
State Lansing and President Wilson
confer.
II Is indicated the Carranza pro
posal will be accepted. Secretary OF
War Baker reiterated his promises to.
day that he viii make the news public
as soon as he is notified that the
troops have crossed the border.
The acceptance OF Carranzas propo-
sition will propably be on the ground
that Carranza troops may cross into
United States territory in pursuit OF
bandits at any time the American
forces are not sufficient TO cope with
tho bandits.
The army officials who have studied
the CarranEa manifesto are convinced
that II was not intended that the Mex.
ican troops would ever cross the Dor.
der. but that General Carranza was
forced to satisfy conflicting elements
among his own adherents. some Of
whom are very bitterly opposed to al
lowing United States troops to enter
their country.

REPLY MADE TO
REQUEST FOR THE
TROOPS RETURN
Adjutant General Mccain
Informs Governor Alexan
der Matter Is in the Hands
of General Funston.

A second time direct communica-
ton has been received from Adjutant
General Mccain of the war depart
ment to the effect that the Second Ida
no regiment cannot be withdrawn from
the Mexican border at this time. Word
In Geographic form was received today
from the war department at the gov
ernor's office stating that General Fun
ston, who IS in command of the various
regiments and military units on the
border, knows best which troops ought
to return and the war department is
not in a position to dictate to him those
regiments that should be relieved.
Governor Alexander urged the de-
partment to release the Second Idaho
from border duty. The telegram is in
answer to his urgent appeal. For some
time there has been an urgent demand
that the Second Idaho be sent home.
1t has been taken up by a number of
communities wherein the companies in
the regiment were recruited and their
appeals have been forwarded to the
department 1t is felt that the regi-
ment has served long enough on police
duty at the border and as there is not
going to be active service it should
not be held longer. Other regiments
that have seen as much service as the
Second Idaho have been relieved from
duty but the Second Idaho has been
held. 1t is claimed by many military
men that by holding the Idaho regi-
ment a distinct compliment has been
paid to it by the war department.
However, there are a number of en-
listed men in the Second Idaho who
are said to be needed more at home
than on the border while others are
forced to give up their college and
school work by being held there. So
far they have been unable to secure
their release. 1t is generally recos-
nized by military men that the Second
Idaho is one of the most efficiently or
ganized bodies now on duty on the
border.
REPORTS SET AT REST.
The word from the war department
will probably set at rest reports that
the Second Idaho is coming back to
Boise soon, much as this has been hop
cd for by regimental members, by
their parents and relatives at home
and by others. The work Of border
patrol by the Second Idaho is of such
department tdoes not feel justified in
releasing the Idaho boys. That APP
pears to be final from the following
telegram received by the governor:
Washington, ID. c., october 81, 1915.
Hon. NJ. Alexander,
Governor Idaho,
Boise, Ida.
reference to your telegram Oct.
80 urging return home Idaho nation
oil guard you are informed that Sc
lection of regiments to return home is
left in hands of General Funston. who
is on ground and knows best which
troops ought to return. This depart
ment would not be in position to make
such judgment. Department has a
very keen appreciation of sacrifices
which these men are making by their
enforced separation from home and
business and were emergency less
commanding would be very happy, in
deed, to relieve them of further sacri-
flee. Situation however is not such
as permits withdrawal militia at this
time.

WILSON IN FORM
FOR GREAT WORK
President Has New Plan for An Effec.
tive Campaign On the Demo-
cratic Side.

Long Branch, n. J., Sept. 20.-Presi-
dent Wilson swung into campaign
form today. With his plan for discus
sing public questions before non-parti-
san organizations, instead of making
campaign tours, fully decided upon,
he actively took up his political plans.
Administration leaders here predict
that from now on there will be plenty
of activity in the democratic campaign.
The attacks of Charles E. Hughes will
be fully met. they say. by the presi-
dent himself and by members of his
cabinet and democratic leaders who
will tour the country.
Vance c. Mccormick, the chairman
of the democratic national committee,
held an early conference with the
president this morning before leaving
for New York He will return in a
few DAYS to make arrangements for
the speeches to be made by Mr.. Will
son.
Meantime the president worked on
a speech he will make TO a delegation
of business men he will receive Sat
urday. and on the address he will de-
liver Monday before the convention OF
the National Grain Dealers assoCia-
ton. In these two speeches he will
outline the reason why he thinks far

President Wilson and Vance c. Nc
Cormick have mapped out a program
for meeting the campaign attacks Of
Mr.. Hughes on the railroad eight-hour
law
Asserting that the democrats would
show that the president placed before
congress a complete program to meet
the recently threatened strike by the
railway employees, Mr.. Mccormick said
that Mr. Wilson is prepared to urge
strongly during the next session of
congress the enactment of this pro-
gram.
When the entire plan OF the presi-
dent is fully understood, the people of
the country will join in praising Mr..
Wilson, the chairman asserted. The
republicans, he declared, seem to ig-
more everything in the program except
the one item passed by congress. Mr..
Mccormick added that it would be
shown clearly how the president plans
to minimize the possibility Of a repe-
tition Of the railroad situation which
arose recently.
