 WASHINGTON. Aug. 21.-The na- ,tional guard will be retained on the Mexican border until 1t can be with drawn without again endangering American lives and property. Secre- tary Baker SO declared the administra- tions policy today in answering score of letters from many parts of the country complaining that the state troops were being held in service after the emergency for which they were called out apparently had passed
 In general. the complainants, whose names were withheld, alleged that the order for service was entailing loss financially on militiamen and hard ship on their families. The secretary replied to all those seeming to merit attention By it's presence on the border, he wrote to one. the guard is winning bloodless victories daily" He declared that Americans resident along the international line were enjoying a peace and security they could not know without the military forces to protect them.
 The department appreciates. Mir. Baker said in another letter, the fact that a call for military service upon militia organizations must 'inevetably present cases of hardship" He added The emergency, however. which re- quired this call was one of 8 grave character. affecting the safety anc | lives of citizens of the United States

 Clearly so soon as a restored state of order on the border justifies it, these troops will be returned to their homes, ' he wrote, lin the meantime, it is not possible for the department to say how soon such a situation will arise. al though the Mexican situation is one of increasing hopefulness."
 In another letter he called attention to steps taken to relieve guardsmen where there is unusual hardship re- sulting from their being called into the service.

 All of the letters emphasized the scientific and highly successful man ner in which the mobilization of the national guard had been handled by army officers.
