MORE TROOPS TO
LEAVE THE BORDER
FOR THEIR HOMES
Orders Issued for Moving of
From $1,000 to 20, 900 Men
Units Being Selected by
General Funston.

Washington, Jan. 20.-Between 5000
and 10000 miltamen have been or
dered home from the border. The par
ticular units to comprise the number
are now being selected by General
Funston.
Secretary of War Baker announced
this fact late this afternoon but de-
clined to reveal the plans for with
drawal of General Pershing's column
from Mexico.
The militia retirement, bringing the
total national guard strength on the
border down to about $4,000. however,
is a preliminary to the Pershing with
drawal. Other militia undoubtedly will
be moved homeward as soon as Perish
ings movement is accomplished and
transportation is available.
ANNOUNCEMENT EXPECTED.
The secretary was unaware exactly
how many men are involved in the
new move but he estimated there
would be from $1,000 to 10000.
This number is about 1000 less than
the Pershing body. Announcement of
orders for Pershing to move north is
expected within the next two or three
days. inasmuch as all is in readiness
for the men to return to the border.
ALL HOME BY MARCH.
AS plans stand, the war department
expects to return all the militiamen at
the earliest possible time compatible
with adequate transportation This
means before March 1, IL the calcula-
tons are correct.
General Funston will notify the de-
partment OF the selection he makes but
he may announce them at San Antonio
before they reach here.

THE special Norwegian commis- sion, which is in this country to in- duce our government to lower the bars for the exportation of food to Norway, says that its government would give a guarantee that none of the food imported would reach the Germans" according to a dispatch from Washington. Such a guarantee would not meet the situation unless it was supplemented by a clause in which Norway would agree further not to export to Germany Norwegian products equivalent to those import ed. The neutrals bordering on Ger many, although not especially friend ly toward Germany. have been beat ing the devil around the bush by giv- ing worthless guarantees. America does not want them to starve, nor does it want them to feed the kaiser's legions.
