Border Men On Verge Of Battle Near Rio Grande
Reports from the field say Carranza troops and Gen Pershing's expeditionary force south of Namiquipa are near hostilities. A wireless dispatch warns American supply trains risk being fired on as Mexicans mount artillery. San Antonio notes 70,000 American troops may be stationed along the Rio Grande within a week or 10 days, with entraining begun and more than a division expected. The border army already has over 40,000, but officers doubt it can guard the entire frontier or undertake a full invasion. Some estimate Carranza could arm 150,000 if war breaks out, though exact numbers are uncertain.
