United States presses Carranza on release of prisoners
Washington expects a swift reply from General Carranza over the denial of a formal demand for the release of seventeen American troopers held in Chihuahua. Officials warn that if the answer is unsatisfactory President Wilson will ask Congress for authorization to mobilize more armed forces and will demand the prisoners’ freedom. Reports from Columbus and surrounding areas describe four survivors found after a desert ordeal, two of them gravely injured, amid ongoing search efforts and Mexican custody concerns.
