American Troops Kill Four Bandits in Mexico
Four Mexican bandits were killed by American troops near Marfa Texas after surrounding them in an adobe blockhouse. Capt. Leonard Matnek reported the engagement as U.S. forces pursued the outlaws across the border. President Wilson refuses Carranza's demand to withdraw, stating pursuit will continue until bandits are captured or killed. The administration argues the action is not an invasion and that U.S. citizens’ safety necessitates such forces. Secretary Baker gave no update on orders to withdraw.
