War Department Officials Say Move

Policy or General Withdrawal
of Guardsmen.

Washington.-Five national guard
regiments were ordered home from
the Mexican border on Thursday.
In a statement announcing the or
der the war department said it was
in continuation of the policy an
nounced some time ago gradually to
withdraw national guard regiments
from the border as conditions permit
and, in accordance with the recOmmen-
dations of General Funston, these
regiments have been ordered home"
War department officials said the
order did not indicate any change IN
policy or general withdrawal Of the
guardsmen from the border and had
no relation to the proceedings of the
joint conference at Atlantic City.
They said that as rapidly as condi-
lions on any portion Of the border are
considered by General Funston to jus
tify the withdrawal of the troops, il
is the departments intention 10 bring
home additional regiments and release
them from federal service.
approximately 100000 alton l
guardsmen will remain on the border
when these five regiments with TO-
tai strength of about 5000 have been
withdrawn. The regiments will start
home as soon as transportation facili-
ties will permit, and all probably will
be at their state muster point by

SERBIAN AND FRENCH SOLDIERS
MARCH THROUGH THE SHELL
RlODLED GATES OF CITY.
Capture of City Comes as Climax to
Bitterly Contested Battle, Bulsar-
ians and Germans Defending
Every Inch Of Ground.

LondOn.-Monastir has fallen to the
allies. To the strains of the Serbian
national hymn, the remnant of King
Peters army, at 8 o'clock Sunday
morning, marched through the she'll
riddled gates of the Macedonian city
whence a year ago they fed in panic
and hunger before the great Teuton-
Bulgarian steam-roIler. At the head
of the victorious troops rode Crown
Prince Alexander, reiuyenator Of the
little Balkan Kingdoms soldiers, and
side by side with them marched
French regiments, with whose aid the
first great step toward the reconquest
of Serbia was accomplished.
The city lies eighty-five miles north
west of SaIoniki. It's occupation came
as the climax of a bitterly tenacious
battle, in which attackers and defend
ers rivaIed in gallantry and stubborn.
ness. The defense became untenable
after the Franco-Serbian forces had
wrested the naturally powerful posi-
tons on the Cerna river from the Bull
garians and Germans, at the same
time smashing the southern ap-
proaches.
Screening the gradual evacuation of
the city, the defenders battled stub
bornly for every inch of ground in the
Cerna bend. Even now fighting there
is in full swing.
The fall Of Monastir to the allies is
regarded here as the greatest achieve
ment of the entente arms this fall,
overshadowing in moral respects even
the success on the Somme. Military
experts concede that it is a victory OF
moral rather than strategic import
ance. Had the blow been struck a
month or two earlier, it is believed
that it would have had tremendous ef-
feet on the whole military situation
in the Balkans.

and Darkness Which Was To Be
Medium of Safety, Submarine
Being Slightly Damaged.

New London, Conn.-Five lives were
lost when the German submarine

marine, slipping out OF the harbOr in
the darkness so that she might sub.
merge in neutral waters before day
break, ran down the tug which was
acting as her protector off RaceTock,
just outside this port. The testimony
came from Captain Paul Koenig Of

FRANCIS M. LYMAN CALLED.
President of Quorum of Twelve Apos-
ties Succumbs TO Pneumonia.

Salt Lake.-Francis NJ. Lyman,
president OF the quorum of the twelve
apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ
Of Latter-day Saints, and next in rank
in the church to the first presidency,
died Saturday morning, November IS,
at l o'clock at his home here, follow
ing an acute illness of only two days.
His death was due to pneumonia,
which he contracted the Sunday pre-
vious while in the performance Of
church duties in Box Elder county,
where he went to attend stake confer
ences. While driving overland from
Brigham City he caught cold, which
brought on the fatal attack.
Apostle Lyman was one of the most
conspicuous figures of the church to
which he devoted almost his entire
career. He was known throughout the
state, the United States and in for
eign countries for his activity in
church work. He was also partici-
pant in the building up and the devel-
opment of Utah.
Born in Illinois in 1870, he accom-
panied the first of the pioneers that
came across the plains in 1S4S to make
their home in Utah. At the age of s
years he drove an OK team over the
plains when he was hardly able to
lift the yoke that went around the
neck of the oxen. His life in Utah
has been that of the pioneer builder
who rose superior to the trials and
hardships of the early days. He was
a community builder and an iniuen-
tial figure in business and civic life

We look across the quiet field
And raise the anthem Of our thanks.

Below a silver river flows -
And all the night is sweet and stL,
