House Passes Volunteer Army Bill and It Goes to President
AP dispatch reports the war department cannot move the full brigade from Galveston to Vera Cruz on available transports and must charter merchant ships with Congress action. Supreme Court proceedings aim to decide if national guard units may deploy outside the U.S. without muster as volunteers. Additional orders call for 250 marines in New York and San Francisco to sail with ships to Mexico. Diplomatic unease grows over U S Mexico relations and cabinet members meet at the White House focusing on the Mexican situation and Colorado strike issues. A National Socialist proclamation at Chicago denounces the war in Mexico as unwarranted.
