During the first part of the war
careful watch was kept by the French

test OF battle this division proved its
ability TO advance under fire. that

picked men were quartered about 30

things are quiet at the front they are

the front need men for charge

back for these special troops. The

FUNSTON WANTS
TROOPS RECALLED
General Makes Recommendation
to the War Department
at Washington.
CITES REASONS FOR REQUEST
Expeditionary Force Has Accomplished
Its Purpose-No Longer Needed
Across Border-HeaIth of Men
Menaced

Washington, Aug. 21.-State depart
ment officials admitted that General
Funston had recommended withdrawal
of General Pershing's expeditionary
forces in Mexico, the recommendation
having been made in answer to the de-
partments request for General Fun
stons opinion as to that procedure.
Washington, Aug. 21.-General Fun
stOn in a telegram received at the war
department recommends the immediate
withdrawal of the Pershing expedi-
tionary force from Mexican territory.
General Cites Reasons.
In a long report the American COM
mander bases his recommendation on
the following reasons:
The purpose of the eXpeditionary
force, he declared, has been largely
accomplished. The main Villa bands
have been broken up and dispersed,
and those still at large, General Perish
ing is no longer able to pursue. On
der war department orders issued aft
er the Carrizal affair, it is understood,
to prevent any further clashes, he cam
not move from his line of communica-
ton except In case of attack.
Border Well Guarded.
For more than three months Gen
eral Funston points out the troops
have been held in Mexico without ac-
ton Of any kind. With the militia on
the border the expedition Is no longer
necessary to prevent bandit raids into
American territory. Therefore he con-
siders their withdrawal advisable.
Health Of Men Menaced.
The health of the troops also
weighed In General Funston's decision.
He is understood to be considerably
worried over the approach of the hot
season in Mexico, and the hardships to
which the men will be subjected.
With the physical strain they have
undergone IN the campaign, coupled
with the bad climate conditions, the
outbreak of an epidemic is feared AL
ready the rate of sickness, 1t Is under
stood, is considerably higher than
among the troops on the border.
Funston Won't Discuss Report
San Antonio, Tex, Aug. 21.-General
Funston fatty refused to discuss the
report that he had advised the with
drawal of General Pershing's punitive
expedition from Mexico.
Have you made such recommen-
dation?" he was asked.
Il decline to answer; 1 will neither
affirm nor deny" he replied. THAT is
a matter wholly between the war de-
partment and me-"
1t is known that Funston has not
complied with Pershing's request that
screened kitchens be sent into Mexico
for the soldiers.
