WILL NOT WITHDRAW
BORDER GUARDSMEN
War Department Not to Recall Any
More Mili6amen for Present.

The stopping of army furloughs by the
War Department on Thursday was fol-
lowed yesterday by the statement that
no more National Guardsmen would be
withdrawn from the border at present.
There are approximately 10000 of these
troops ready to move into Mexico, should
Carranza become obdurate in his resis-
tance to the American contentious, or
should the Villa uprisings become so for
midable as to jeopardize the Carranza
regime.
There has been increasing evidence in
the War Department of late that the
Mexican situation is becoming worse, al
though the impression gained every
where is that the administration purposes
not to take positive action until after
the election in November.
The attitude of the War Department
toward the Mexican situation is that IL
is war. An official ruling by Judge
Advocate General Crowder in which he
holds that a condition Of war now exists
in Mexico has just been made public
The ruling was in answer to a question
as to whether American soldiers in Mex
leo accused of serious crimes should be
tried by civil or military tribunals. The
Fifty-eighth Article of War provided that
in time of war. insurrection. or rebel
lion," certain crimes shall be tried by
COurt-martial
