clared, attacking the problem of simple
cookery with a will and confident air
that promised much.
The aroma of frying bacon, the steam

so strangely at her. that she moved

ORDERED HOME
War Department Reduces the Border
Force to About $4,000.

Washington.-More than $4,000 Ma.
tional Guardsmen now on the Mex.
ican border have been designated by
Major General Funston for return
home and muster out OF the FEDERAL
service, under orders issued by the
war department.
Ali these organizations will be
started homeward as soon as trans.
portation facilities can be provided.
Their departure will leave between
$4,000 and $4,000 men doing border
patrol.
War department officials, continue
to withhold comment on reports that
the movement of General Pershing's
regulars out of Mexico soon will he
under way, and the statement an
nouncing the guardsmen designated
for relief does not connect these
orders with the withdrawal plans in
any way. The understanding has
been. however. that with the return
OF the expedition in Mexico and re.
adjustment of the border patrol. all
of the state troops gradually would
be sent home.
