ASBURY PARK, oct. 14.--Prest-
dent Wilson wrote Governor Whit
man declaring that northern Mexico
conditions were improving. He pre-
dicted the government would soon re-
lieye border militiamen.
The war department policy is to
distribute the border guard burden
over the entire militia, to frequently
relieve the units, send them home
and dispatch other regiments from
camp TO the border. This minimizes
the sacrifice each guardsman makes.
l deeply realize the inconvenience the
recent emergency caused militiamen.
"Unhappily, the emergency still ex-
lists and military authorities advise
me that the withdrawal of the militia
from the border might result in
fresh Mexican aggressions The mi
litia is being used to repel invasion.
In the near future we may be able 10
further relieve the endorsements
under which the organized militia
regiments necessarily suffered.
Il would be sorry to have any
body suppose the militia is being re-
tanned on the border for the purpose
of completing military training.
They're preserving the American
frontier from aggression"
