FUNsToN's SELECTION

limited Press Leased Wire Service ]
WASHINGTON, Dec 8.-SiX thou
sand national guardsmen will be sent
home from the border at once for
muster out, 1t vas announced today.
The war department statement
carrying this information said:
In continuation of the general
policy of the department to relieve
national guard units as conditions
permit, six thousand guardsmen will
be sent home for muster out at once.
The selection of units was left to
General Funston. He has designated
the following organizations for this
purpose: New York division head
quarters, ambulance company No. g.
New York field hospital No. g. New
York: signal battalion, New York:
one brigade headquarters, New York,
second battalion engineers, New York
Eighteenth infantry, Pennsylvania;
battery A. Utah; First battalion field
artillery, California; First battalion
field artillery, Missouri: number enc
Massachusetts, ambulance company,
Second infantry. Idaho; First infan
try, Iowa; First battalion field artil
lery, Iowa; signal company District OF
Columbia; battery A. Kansas.
Removal of the troops from the
border leaves between ninety and
thousand guardsmen still
on border service. The significant
part Of this move that thus far at
least no orders have been issued to
fill in the gaps these men will make.
The war department plan has been
to clear the border entirely of militia
forces within a brief period, provided
General Carranza agrees to the Per
shing withdrawal protocol and also
provided the northern Mexican situa-
tion did not become acute.
Today's move was taken as show
ing the administration view that
Villas recent depredations do not con-
stitute an imm Mediate cause for
alarm and likewise the view that
General Pershing's forces will pr ~
ably soon be available for border
patrol work.
The movement ordered today is the
largest single "homeward order is
sued since the militia was sent bor-
derward.
