ARE ORDERED HOME.

Duty.
Washington.-More than 25.000 Na
tional Guardsmen, now on tlie Mexican
border, have been designated by Ma
jor General Funiston for return homile
andll mustor out of the Federal service,
under the order Issued by the War De
partment.
All these organizations will be start
ed homeward as soon as transportation
facilities cinl be provided. Their de
parture will leave between 45.000 and
50,000 men of the guard still in the
Federal service doing border patrol.
War Department officials contintue
to withhold comment onl reports Ihat
the moventent of General Pershing's
regulars oet of Mexico soon will be
uinder way, and the statement anl
ntouneiig the guardsmen designated
for relief does not conileet these or
ders with the withdrawal plaits in
inly 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 wound be
sent home.
The department's statemeit said:
"General Fllunston has selected these
organizations chiefly in accordance
with the rule of returning first those
troops longest in service on the bor
der. To some ext ent, iowever. this
rule could not be followed without
unequal weakening of the border
guard, and the departIres from it are
so explained. The total strength of
the organizations sele(-ted is 25.243."
The guardsmen designated for r-e
turn and muster ouit inc(.lude:
North Carolina- - First Infantry.
South CaI olina -Troop A, cavalIry;
company A, engineers; field hospital
company.

P- ARTHUR BALFOUR SENDS NOTE

8 Why Peace is impossible at Present
r is Explained.
e Washington-The Entente Allies,
Iin a note addressed by Arthur Bal
four, British Foreign Minister, to Am
bassadlor Spring-Rice, and delivered to
R the State Department, amplify their
T reply to President Wilson's peace
note, by explaining in detail why they
believe it impossible at present to at
tamn a peace which will assure them
such guarantees as they consider es
sential. The note also explains why
the Allies demand the expulsion of
Turkey from Europe, restoration of
r Alsac-eLorraine to France, of Italia
I rredenta to Italy, and the other ter
ritorial changes set forth. Those
nwho think the future of the world may
be insured by international treaties
and international laws, the note says,
hiave ill-learned the lessons taught by
recent history. After charging that
German influence in Turkey had re
Isulted in conditions as barbarous and
smore aggressive than were known
d unmder Sultan Abdul Hanmid, and that
it had been shown Germany eannot
n-be expectedl to respect treaty obliga
k(1 tions, Mr. Balfour says:
"So long as Germany remains the
Germany~ wvhich, without a shadow of
r- justifieation, overran arnd barbarously
ill-treated a country it was pledged
to dlefend,. no state can regard its
lrights as secure if they have no better
pr'otection than a solemn treaty."

HALF MAST IN TRIBUTE TO tl
HERO.C
Hero of Manila Bay Was One of Three 0
Americans to Attain Rank of Ad
miral.-Lifs Was Full of Honorable
Achievement.
Washington.-Admiral Dewey, the
iaots Spanish War hero and by l
aeriority of grade the ranking naval
officer of the wvorld,died at his home 11
here in his eightieth year. He had not
been cosol ous since the day before
a
wvhen hie lapsed into coma, still be- a
d
leving that in a few days ie would a
be back at his desk in the navy depart
men t.IA
A general breakdown, accompanied
by a-terio sclerosis Incident to old
age, was the cause of death. The dis- 11
ease had been, gradually spreading Its 0
hold upon the powerful body for a 11
year and a half, but the admiral, proud V
of his physical vigor, had fought it off'
and even kept its existence a secret |
from most .of his intimate friends.
Mrs. Dewey and the admiral's only '
son, George, were at the bedside. They
had known there was no hope.
The admiral died at 5:56 o'clock.
President Wilson and Secretary Dan.
iels were notified at once and the news
was flashed by wireless to American I
naval vessels and stations all over the
world. The message carried orders
that all flags be put at half-mast.
The president will confer with Sec
retary Daniels and Rear Admiral
Badger and arrange for the funeral
which takes place Saturday. The body
will be buried at Arlington National
Cemetery, on the Virginia shore of the
Potomac river, where many of Admi
ral Dewey's former comrades have
been laid to rest.
Only other two men--Farragut andl
Porter-have held the rank of the
admiral of the American navy, and
since Civil War days, no military fig.
uire has held such a place as Dewey
in the affections and admiration of the
American. people. Hius death ended 62
years of active service. His -"baptism
of fire" came in the Civil War,
through which he served with dis-I
inetion. Promotion followed promo
tion during the years following, and he
wvas a commodore commanding the
Asiatic fleet when the orders "capture
or destroy the enemy's fleet" gave. him
the first news of hositilities with Spain
and sent him into Manila Blay for the!
feat that won undying fame and had,
far-reaching effect upon the position
of the United States as a world power.
PLANS MADE.TO MEET DEFICIT
IIN UNITED STATES TREASURY.
Inorease In Revenue Expected to Ex
ceed $600,000,000 Yearly.-Big
Bend Issue Proposed.
Washington.-Administration plans
for meeting the Treasury deficit at the
end of the next fiscal year took the
1form of a definite program, embracing
increases in the inheritance tax, a new
tax on excess profits of corporations
and partnerships, and a bond issue of
$289,000,000. A bill including these
proposals and bearing the endorse
meat of President Wilson and Sec
retary McAdoo will be framed at once.
The Increase in revenue under the,
plan is exp~ected to be more than
$500,000,000 annually, and if it tails
to take care of the dleficit, a $100,.
.000,000 issue of Treasury certificates
of indebtedness may be decided on.
As agreed to informally by Demo
crats of the Ways and Means Com
mittee and approved by the President
and Secretary of the Treasury, the ex
cess profits tax would be at the rate
of eight or ten per cent.

peace note. "The president has done

t
10 DEFINITE DATE IS SET
Ikely That Guardsmen Will Be Or
dered Home Within a Few Days a
Unless Something Unexpected De- f
velops.
Washington.-Although Villa's op
'ations have injected confusing fac
>rs into the situation in northern
lexico and along the border, there is
very indication that the Administra
on is going forward with its plans
ir early withdrawal of Pershing's ex
odition and demobilization of the Na
onal Guard.
Officials here have insisted that it
as impossible to set a definite date
>r the troop movements because of
ie uncertainty of transportation fa
Ilties and because the situation at
ie border and beyond constantly is
lianging. It has been indicated
early, however, that unless there
as some unexpected development, 1
ershing's withdrawal and the return
f the guardsmen would be ordered
'ithin a few (lays.
The reports on Villa's new cam- F
aign apparently have not disturbed f
Ils determination. but they have
3mewhat bewildered officials here as
) the real situation and in the end
Iay operate to hold up the orders
ntil a more thorough investigation
as been made. Army officers contend
:at the Pershing force would be in
better military position if with- 1
rawn and regrouped, but they are
nxious to locate the Villa forces
iore definitely before there is any
merican movement.
Border dispatches tranmitting ru
1ors that the guardsmen would be
rdered home with in five days were
eard by War Department officials
Ilthout comment. General Funston
as exercised a wide discretion re
'ading details of troop disposition,

xact (late will depend largely on his I

3ERMAN RAIDER BELIEVED TO
BE MOEWE, CAPTOR OF APPAM.
Sailed Under Danish Flag and Car
ried Hay on Bridge to Conceal
Armament.
Rio Janeiro, Brazil.-It is consider
ed certain here th'at the German
raider which has been creating havoc
among Entente shipping in the south
Atlantic is the Moewe, the German
sa-med raider which captured the Ap
pam and sunk numerous Entente ships
In Atlantic waters a year ago.
The American Consul at Pernam
buco has cabled the Embassy here
confirming the landing of several
Americans from vessels which fell
victim to the r-aider, lie added that
no American ships had been sunk by
the German craft, and that all the
American sailors landed were men
tf-em the crews of foriegn- vessels.,
According to reports from an au
thoritative source the Meowe is un
derstood to have sailed, from Kiel
under- the Danish flag car-rying a car
go of hay on the bridge in order to
conceal her ar-manent. W~hen last
seen, the Moewe was painted black,
with white markings. Hier armament
included four torpedo tubes in service
and several tubeg in reser've. She
is believed to have carried a mine
laying apparatus.
The raider also carried a large
number of auxiliai-y plates which
would permit her commander to
change the rppearaLce of the bidge
at will. In addition she had collap
sible funnels.
The vessel now believed to be the
Moewe was repaiintedl several times,
and undeir the last coat of paint weire
obseirved traces of the Danish flag
which had been painted on the hull.
