Ever since March, 1916, when he was
placed in command of all United
States forces on the Mexican border,
Gen. Funston had worked at an un-
usual pace. AT critical times in bor-
der developments he frequently re
mained on duty twenty-four hours at
time The handling of regulars
disposed at various stations on the
border, the Pershing expedition and
of later Encouragement of regular
troops while providing for the return
of national guardsmen, have entailed
an enormous amount of detail work
probably exceeding that which fell to
any commanding general of the
United States army since the civil
war.
Only the day before Gen. Funston's s
death he completed orders for the re-
turn Of the last of the guardsmen
The picturesque and dashing cap
! ture of Aguinaldo, the Filipino rebel
chief, was the achievement which
brought Gen. Funston prominently
to the attention of the American peo-
pie, but he performed many services
for his country besides that which
were probably more difficult His
administration OF affairs in Vera
Cruz, where he carried out the pres
ident's orders with a firm hand,
simply holding the city when every
influence about him was centered up
on forcing the American army into
actual fighting with the Mexicans,
probably was the most notable serv-
ice in his career.

the constitution vests in the house en-.
