viii total, it was stated today, al
most 10000 men.
General Funston has requested the
war department 10 send him as quick
ly as possible a large part of the ma
tional guardsmen and advices re-
ceived late today indicated that en-
training Of the first troops would be
begun tomorrow. As fast as they
arrive in the south they will be sent
to the stations chosen. A part will
be brought to San Antonio and held
here as n reserve but a large part
OF them will be within sight of Mex

General Funston did not announce
how many he has asked for or the
stations to which they will be sent,
but it is known that he expects more
than division and it was said that
not less than $4,000 more would lbe
sent.
Secretary Lansing's note to Car
ranza's minister of foreign affairs was

and members of his staff.

The army already patrolling the in.
ternational line is prepared to resist
any aggression the Mexican govern
ment forces might make but il was
determined some time ago that it was
not big enough to guard the long

and army officers never have regard
ed it as strong enough TO undertake
an invasion in force,
General Funston's request for the
guardsmen was for number suffi-
cient to give adequate protection to
the border" Officers at his head
quarters also felt that with this In
creased force operations in Mexico on
a big scale might be undertaken, but
in the event of Intervention or any

the future has in store.

lection OF the demand for Withdraw
al OF American soldiers from Mex
leo. accompanied by a specific warn
ing that an attack on the troops
"will lead to the gravest consequent
ces," was tclegraphed to Mexico city
today by Eliseo Arredondo, Mexican
ambassador-d designate. In plain terms
It accuses General Carranza of haV-
ing brought matters to the verge Of
war by open hostility toward the
United States, and failure to safe
guard even the lives of Americans in
Mexico or on the border from the
lawless elements along his country

Mobilization of the national guards
men is proceeding expeditiously in

of them southwark in response to Il
REQUEST from General Funston are
under way. Secretary Lansing de-
scrIbed the policy of the government
as being founded only on n resolve
10 protect the border. That policy
has not been changed. he said. and
no military step that has been taken
has had any other object. General

Americas Hands Forced.

I'm the face OF these depredations
not only on American lives and prop
erty on Mexican soil, but on Ameri-
can soldiers, citizens and homes on
American territory, the perpetrators
of which General Carranza was unable
or possibly considered inadvisable 10
apprehend or to punish the United
States had no recourse other than to
employ force to disperse the band of
Mexican outlaws who were with in
oTeasing boldness. Systematically raid
ing across the International boundary.
The maurauders engaged in the at
tack on Columbus were driven back
across the border by American cav.
airy and subsequently. as soon As
sufficient force to cope with the band
could be obtained, were pursued in
to Mexico in an effort TO capture or
destroy them. without cooperation
or assistance in the field on the part
OF the de facto government, despite
repeated requests by the United states,
and without apparent recognition on
its part on the desirabillty of putting
an end to these systematic raids or of
Furnishing the chief perpetrators Of the
crimes committed because they men
aced the good relations of the two
countries the American forces pnr-
sued the lawless bands as far as Par
raj, where the pursuit was halted by
the hostility of MeMcans, presumed to
