THANKS FOR cUARDsMEN
 WHO SAW BORDER sERV
Expressed in Letter Sent by Secretary
 Baker to Commanders.

Washington. Feb. 19. - Secretary Baker sent a letter of thanks today to the commanders of all national guard units which saw service on the Mexi- can border. T wish to thank you and the officers and mon of your organiza- tion who went to the border in re- spopse to the call of the president" wrote the secretary. for the valuable service which you have rendered to the country. When the national guard was called into the service of the fed eral government the lives of men, women and children along the frontier were in grave danger owing to the formidable raids from the Mexican side of the border. It is not too much to say that had these raids continued there was danger of international war. From the time of the arrival of the units, of the national guard on the border. the raids ceased and the ten sion between the two countries began to relax.
 Tt is the hope and belief of the government that the presence of the units of the national guard, together with the units of the regular army on the border and in Mexico and the presence in mobilization camps of the units of the national guard in readi- ness for such service has made pVs- sible q peaceful solution of a difdcuit and threatening problem"
