HIGH TRIBUTE TO MILITIA

Long Branch, N. J., Oct. 14.-Wil-
son, in a letter to Governor Whitman
of New York, sent Oct. 9, made pub
lie here today, declared the emergency
which caused the sending Of the mill
tia to the Mexican border 'unhappily
still exists" He added. however, he
believed the conditions in northern
Mexico were improving and that lin
the near future it would probably be
possible to do more than has been
done to relieve the embarrasments in
which organized military regiments
necessarily suffered.
Wilson wrote Whitman in answer
to a letter regarding the New York
militia organizations on the border.
Wilson said 1t would be impossible to
set a date when the remaining New
York regiments could be relieved.
Wilson wrote the war department ad-
vised that the withdrawal Of the mill
tia at any time since they were sent
to the border would in all human
likelihood have been followed by
fresh aggressions from Mexico upon
the lives and property OF the people
of the United States"
Wilson paid a high tribute to the
character of the militiamen. He denied
that any organizations are being kept
there to perfect military training.
