War Department weighs restraint as Pershing eyes action
Officials say President Wilson will wait for an official report before any drastic retaliation against Mexican forces. Pershing could relieve a threatened detachment if attacked, but no offensive will be launched without strengthening border defenses and coordinating National Guard units. The expedition is estimated at 10 000 to 12 000 men with artillery and machine guns, well supplied and dug in at key positions.
