United States Threatens Action Over Jenkins Release
Washington reports the United States sent an ultimatum to the Carranza government demanding the immediate release of William C. Jenkins, American Consular Agent at Puebla. The note warns further molestation could strain U.S.-Mexico relations and may invite armed intervention, with War Department input suggesting a possible three-year, 450000-man campaign. President Wilson also revives wartime powers for Attorney General Palmer to curb the cost of living and sugar shortage. Plans target raising wholesale sugar to 12 cents a pound, except the Louisiana crop, with Cuban purchases likely to widen supply.
