Il wish to thank you and the officers
and men of your organization, on be-
half of the government, for the valu-
able services just rendered to the coun-
try by its presence on the border.
When the National Guard was called
into service of the federal government
the lives of men, women and children
along the southern frontier were in
grave danger. owing to the formidable
bandit raids from the Mexican side of
the boundary. 1t is not too much to
say that had these raids continued
there was danger of international war.
From the time Of the arrival Of the
units of the National Guard on the
border the raids ceased and the ten
sion between the two countries began
to relax. 1t is the hope and belief of
the government that the presence of
the units of the National Guard, to-
gether with the units Of the regular
army. on the border and in Mexico
has made possible a peaceful solution
of a difficult and threatening prob
