FUNSTON WANTS MORE TROOPS
A. P. A. Special.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-- General Funston has asked the war department to send him everything available in the line of troops including the entire coast artillery for service on the border The request is said to be due to the tardiness of arrival of the national guard of the bor- der states. Back of the entire matter is said to be the refusal of many of the guards to under take active service and also be- cause of the physical inability of many others to undergo cam paigning. Baker has the matter of forwarding to coast artillery under advisement.
