United States Accepts Carranza Border Accord
Officials say the United States recognizes a reciprocal privilege allowing pursuit across the border into Mexican territory. The move aims to quell bands of outlaws fleeing into either country and to maintain order along the boundary. Mexican officials express cautious optimism as the note reaches Carranza. Embassies report no widespread anti-American unrest, though some radicals may oppose the pact. Treasury issues an arms embargo to block Villa’s supply, while General Funston plans operations to pursue the rebels with Pershing possibly in command, all kept under tight department discretion.
