U. S. Troops and÷lexico. Washington, December 19,-- Sixteen thousand militiaren DOW na duty on the Mexican border have just been designated for withdrawal by the U. 8 War`. Department, but it is officially announced that this move dose- not foreshadow the withdrawal of the regulars under General Per shing, already on Mexican soil. It is apparently planned to keep a considerable number of the National Guard still an federal service, in spite of the present move, this being indicated by the fact that the Scoretary for War has just asked Congress for fands to be expended in the support of dependent families of guardsmen on duty. This æquest is based on an amumption that there will be 75,000 National Guardemen still in the federal service. next |Jalys
