ENTENTE RESOLVE
TO fight TO END
GEN. MAURICE SAYS THAT ROME
CONFERENCE WAS MOST
SATISFACTORY

London.-The recent conferences in
Rome and London between entente
civil and military leaders developed
the utmost harmony and a determina-
ton to push the war to a conclusion
satisfactory to the allies, according to
the opinion expressed by Maj. Gen. F.
B. Maurice, chief director OF military
operations at the War Office, to the
Associated Press:
Our enemies" said Gen. Maurice,
"are fond of stating in their press that
France has tired of the war, while
limiting at a separate peace for Rus
sia, but | can say confidently, as a
result of the return of the delegation
from Rome and of last weeks confer
ence in London with Gen. Nivelle,
that these meetings were much more
important in bringing victory nearer
than any recent military events. The
result of these conferences showed
the allies heartily agreed in a determi-
nation not to accept an inconclusive
peace and that they are as one in
their determination to make a good
job Of it before they are ready to dis
cuss terms.
I'm the purely military realm our
raids continue with increasing sue
cess and diminishing casualties to our
attackers, who bring back as many
prisoners as our total casualty list,
thus putting the enemys dead and
wounded on the plus side of our led
ger.
"The enemy's offensive in Roumania
has been not only halted but pushed
back step. This result probably is
due to Russian re-enforcements, but
weather conditions may also have had
share in halting the Germans"

Washington.-More than $4,000 ma
tional guardsmen now on the Mexi-
can border have been designated by
Maj. Gen. Funston for return home
and muster out of ihe federal service.
under the order issued by the War De
partment.
All these organizations will be start
ed homeward as soon as transporta-
ton facilities can be provided. Their
departure will leave between $4,000
and $4,000 men of the guard still in
the federal service doing border pa
troll.
The guardsmen designated for re
turn and muster out include:
Louisiana-First Battalion Field Ar

company.
Tennessee - Ambulance Company
No. l, Field Hospital No. l.
Arkansas-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 IN
any way.
The understanding has been, how
ever, that with the return of the ex-
pedition 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
CARNATIONS 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."
