GOING HOME.
More Than 1000 National Guards
 men to Leave Border.

'.Washington, Jan. 23.-More than 25, 1000 National Guardsmen now on the Mexican border have been designated by Major Gen eral Funston for return home and muster out of the Federal service.
 All these organizations will be started homeward as soon as transportation facilities can be provided Their departure will leave between 45, ,OOO and 5O,OOO men of the guard still in the Federal service doing border patrol.
 The statement announcing the guardsnen designated for relief does not connect these orders with the withdrawal of Persh- ing.
 The understanding has been, however, that with the return of the expedition in Mexico and readjustment of the border patrol all of the state troops gradually would be sent home.
 The departments statement said:
 
 these organizations chiefly in ac cordance with the rule of return ing first those troops longest in service on the border. To some extent, however, this rule could not be followed without unequal weakening of the border guard and the departures from it are so explained. The total strength of the organizations selected is 25, PAS"
