President Replies to Governor Whit man of New York, Declaring That Emergency Which Led to Call of Militia Still Exists Frontier Needs Protection to Prevent Raids. LONG BRANCH. N. .1., Oct. 14. President Wilson, In a letter to Gov ernor Whitman 01' Now York, sent October 9 and made public hero to day, declared that the emergency "a lilcli caused the sent'lug of the mili tia to the .Mexican border, "unhappily still exists." He added, liowever. that however, that he believed conditions In northern Mexico are Improving and tnat "In the near future" It prob ably vlll he possible to "do more than has been done to relieve the em barrassments under which orgnized militia lotliiients have necessarily suffered." President Wilson wrote to Gov ernor Whitman In answer to a letter from 1 he Niw York executive regard ing the New York militia organiza lions on the border. The president told Mr. Whitman that It was Impos sible to set a date on which the re maining New York regiments there could be leleased. The president, in his letter, de clared he had been advised by the war deportment that withdrawal of the liiliitiu at any time since they were sent to the border "would In all human likelihood have been fol lowed by fresh aggressions from J.Iexlco upon the lives and property of I he people of the United States." In his letter the president paid a high Illume r.r the character of the militiamen on the border and denied tint organization;; vvere being kept there to perfect their military train-, ins. Tlie president's letter follows: President's Letter. "My 1'tar Governor Whitman: I have received your letter of Septem ber 2'i, and have taken up W'ith the secretary of war the situation as it affects the presence of New York troops on the border. From the be ginning of the difficulty which neces sitated the call for the militia, I have been deeply -;ci;Jtive of the Inconven ience' caused to the members of those citizen military organizations by their separation from their families and from their ordinnry business engage ments and pursuits. "In order to minimize these sacri fices the war department is sending to the border from time to time mill Pa which have not participated in the t-ervice there and as each fresh con tingent goes to the border. General Funiion selects for return to th-iir home stations and mustering out. f .ich unitR, as in his judgment, can best be spared. To Distribute Duty.
