Wilson signals possible delay before Congress on Mexican crisis
Washington is tense as White House signals President may present the Mexican crisis to Congress tomorrow if Carranza does not reply tonight to the U.S. ultimatum. Officials report pressure from Latin American diplomats to secure the release of American troopers held in Chihuahua City, while Pershing’s report confirms an ambush and massacre of U.S. troops. Secretary Baker and War Navy officials move to bolster border defenses, with coast guard and light-draft fleet vessels assigned for blockading and oil-shipment control. Senator Lewis says Carranza seeks Latin American support and may reconsider his response to avert broader conflict.
