25,OOO GUARDSMEN
 ARE ORDERED HOME
THIS WILL LEAVE MORE THAN 45,o00 ON THE BORDER-SOUTH-
 ERN BOYS RETURN.

Washington.-Mor than 25,000 na- tional guardsmen now on the Next can border have been designated by Maj. Gen. Funston for return home and muster out of the federal service, under the order issued by the War De partment.
 All these organizations will be start ed homeward as soon as transporta- tion facilities can be provided Their departure will leave between 45,000 and 50.0O0 men of the guard still in the federal service doing border pa- trol.
 The guardsmen designated for re turn and muster out include:
 Louisiana-First Battalion Field Ar tillery. Field Hospital No. L
 South Carolina-Troop A. Cavalry, Company A Engineers, field hospital company.
 Tennessee - Ambulance Company No. 1, Field Hospital No. 1.
 Arkansas-Fi Infantry.
 entucky-Second Infantry.
 North Carolina-First Infantry.
 War Department officials continue to withhold comment on reports, indi- eating that the movement of Gen. Pershing's regulars out of Mexico is under way, and the statement an. nouncing the guardsmen designated for relief work does not connect these orders with the withdrawal plans m any way.
 The understanding has been, how ever, that with the return of the ex- petition in Mexico and readjustment of the border patrol all of the state troops gradually would be sent home.
 The departments statement said:
 "Gen. Funston has selected these or ganizations chiefly in accordance with the rule of returning first those troops longest in service on the border. To some extent, however, this rule could not be followed without unequal weak ening of the border guard, and the de partures from it are so explained. The total strength of the organizations selected is 25,243."
