BORDER TROOPS
FACE LONG STAY
Wilson Expected to Keep
Militia at Line All
Winter
lTrv1n no Tribune Bureau.

Washington, Oct. 23.-Militiamen
now on the border are likely to be
there all winter, according to intima-
tons given in official army circles to-
day It Is declared that as President
Wilson has decided TO keep the troops
there until after election anyway, he
is almost certain to pursue the policy
until the Mexican border problem is
solved
Secretary Bakers recent order sus-
pending furloughs to enlisted regulars
who have served year in the army
and are entitled to go in reserve in
normal times is pointed to as evidence
that the Administration contemplates
an extended border campaign. 1t is
noted further that the regular army
reserves have been called out, a meas
ure adopted only In time Of war or
great emergency.
The recent decision OF the judge ad-
vocate general Of the army that the
United States Is legally and actually
at war with Mexico. is the official opin-
ion Of the Administration. and was
made at the suggestion Of Secretary
Baker and signed by him, 1t was
learned to-day. Any effort TO belittle
the importance Of the decision or to
call IL academic" is declared by OH
GERS to be entirely at variance with
the facts.
Not only did Secretary Baker recon-
mend that authority be discovered for
the opinion, as he desired to invoke
martial law in the zone Of Pershings
operations, but he even favored the
passage of resolution by Congress
declaring that a state Of war existed,
because when the militia were first
called out it was believed that they
might be needed for service in Mex
leo, which Is forbidden by the Con-
stitution unless there is state OF war.
1t is declared by army officers that
at every turn Secretary Baker has been
In favor of calling 1t war when II
served the Immediate purpose OF the
Administration, but against it when
the word Jared on the public ear.
"When you talk facts, It's war; when
you talk politics, II isn't" Is the way
an army officer summed up the situa-
tion to-day.
