Two days after the Punitive Expedition had officially ended Germans in Mexico were still drawing U.S. attention. . . and not for incorrect reasons, as it would turn out.
The US was too proud to fight, even after the lifting of unrestricted submarine warfare, regarded as a really immoral act at the time. And the legislature was still busy, working on another alcohol bill even after a run at Prohibition had failed earlier in the week. Much like today, some economic hopes were being pinned on outside industries even though the economy was doing great, fueled by the agricultural and petroleum boom caused by World War One.
