Carranza seeks U S permission to send troops into Mexico
Washington March 11 report that General Carranza asked the United States for permission to cross the border to pursue Villa bandits if needed. Officials view the proposal favorably as a step to avoid a wider crisis, with no crossing by Mexican forces expected before nightfall. The note cites historic cross-border pacts and cites prior incursions by Geronimo and a 1884-86 Chihuahua episode. Carranza’s request awaits presidential review, then a US reply.
