Argentina Bolsters Frontier Forces Over Border Tensions
Argentina tripled its armed forces on the Chaco frontier after reports of perilously close Paraguayan and Bolivian units. Gen. Andres Sabalain traveled to Las Lomitas to command reinforcements expected to reach 5,000, with 1,400 previously stationed there. An air squadron was added as reinforcements moved in, and soldiers were ordered to disarm and intern any foreign soldiers. Argentina declared strict neutrality and urged neighboring ministers to prevent cross border force activity. Dispatches claimed Bolivian forces retreated after a Paraguayan capture near Fort Ballivian, with weary troops crossing the Pilemay o River and seeking refuge in Argentina.
