Huerta Salute Fails to Trigger War Crisis End
Washington reports General Huerta agrees to salute the American flag as apology for the Tampico sailors’ arrest. Officials say no troop changes or dates are set, but naval force remains in Mexican waters. The move eases tensions with President Wilson citing naval precedent and courtesy rather than recognition. Meanwhile local notes mention Measles at Wingate, a Monroe win in baseball, and obituaries of Pinkney Bass and John J. James.
