This is taken to mean that there will be a gradual with- drawal of a large number of the militiamen still at the Mexiean horder. ; Nothing has been indicated as to when the order to Pershing may be expected, but it is looked for at any hour. ; The first move is the recall of some of the guard now on the bor- _ Teachers Meeting. i Phe teachers of Mt.
