were issued by the War Department
to-day directing Gen. Funston to be-
gin the immediate demobilizatton Of
all National Guard units remain ne
III border camps, and 1t Is expected
that the last troop train will be on

Gen. Funston still will have nearly
$4,000 regular troops under plaus
worked out by the general STAFF. The
command includes all Of the troops
who were In Mexico, and their distri-
button was carried out under the di-
rection or Gen. lIben Swift. who was
with the Pershng expedition. Gen.
PcrShing Will remain Mt lIl paso
Secretary Baker emphasized that
the withdrawal Of the state troons Is
in no Way connected with the crisis
with Germany, but carries out a pol-
icy determined on long ago. The or
der was issued after Gen. Funstou
had reported that with the new disno-
sitlon OF regulars he felt that he had
enough men to meet any border ext
gencies that might arise. The num-.
ber of guardsmen remaining and to
be demobilized under to-day's order
is about $4,000.
Administration officials are under
STOOD to have been convinced by tho
reports Of special observers for the
State Department and the army that
while IL may be possible for Villa
and Iapata followers to commit mi
! nor depredations in the sparsely set
tied region west or lei Paso, there is
little possibility OF a recurrence OF
raids in the lower Rio Grande coun-
try.
1t Is also desired that the Carranza
government be embarrassed rs little
as possible in its efforts to control
Mexico.

lima National Guard contingent ne
