Washington -Withdrawal OF the
American military expedition in Mex

probably will have recrossed into the
United States.
The order went to General Funston
in command at the border, and left to
his discretion the exact time OF start

details of carrying 1t out. For several
weeks he has known of the auminis.

MEMORIAL AROUSES
IRE Of PRESIDENT
REeUkED FOR ATTACKING MA.
TIoNAL GUARD AND ADvOCAT-
ING MILITARY TRAINING.
Tells Marylanders Their Attitude is
Not Helpful to Cause and Defends
Efforts Of Congress to Improve
Militia.

washington. President Wilson,
speaking on Thursday to a delegation
from the Maryland League for Nationl
Defense. which attacked the national
guard and advocated universal mill
tary training, rebuked them for their
"unrestrained language" and said
they would have better chance for
his support II they were more reason
able in their attitude.
The memorial read to the president
by Major Randolph Barton, spoke of
the national guard system as dis
grace and failure" II urged uni
versal compulsory military training
and service, and mentioned the mob
ilization OF the national guard along
the Mexican DO, der as an example Of
the failure OF the system.
President Wilson told the delega-
ton that their attitude closed the op-
portunity for discussion OF the ques-
ton and was not helpful.
The president, discussing com.
pulsory military service. declared that
unquestionably physical training was
needed and would accomplish great
deal. but It can be had without com
pulsory military service"
He added that he was DESTROYS OF
doing the wise thing. and that the
entire subject was receiving his most
earnest consideration. He vigorously
defended the efforts being made in
congress to build up a proper military
service.

GERMAN ARMY OFFICERS VIEW.

ave should not discuss moderation
with man." writes Doctor Matthaei,
staff physician In the German army,
and In these words he voices the gen.
eral opinion of German anti-alcohol-
lists. "The thing has dong since been
settled by science. The use of mar
cote poisons is simply indecent and
criminal. One should always decline
to take part In any festival occasion
where drink Is used. One who makes
OF well, slightly alcohol-sick per-
son-i. e., moderate drlnker-should
be punished for 1t socially until we
can get leave 70 punish legally. Wills
of men made In an alcoholized or
slightly alcohollzed state should be
contested. Drunkards are made by
hospital prescriptions of alcohol. The
law should hold such hospitals legally
liable. 1t must be considered incom-
patlble with the honor Of city or
government to allow the activities of
poison factories, such as breweries and
distilleries."
