The Leader was correct, a new revolution had broken out in Mexico even as the contesting forces of Zapata and Villa continued their struggle against Carranza.
As the Mexican culture site puts it:
On February 16, 1918, soldiers loyal to the governor of the state of Guerrero, General Silvestre Mariscal, arrested Santiago Tlatelolco in the military prison, who took up arms to try to free his leader. Nearly 300 men who were under the command of Mariscal and had accompanied him to the Federal District took up arms in the Escuela de Tiro de San Lázaro, where they were quartered.
They were immediately repulsed by the law and order forces, under the command of General Miguel Madrigal, who defeated them and forced them to flee. Some escaped towards Peñón. Others, toward Tlalpan, where they tried to join the Zapatista armed forces that devastated the southern region of the Federal District.
So things really weren't settled south of the bordern.
North of the border restrictions on wheat were resulting in Victory Pies in restaurants.
Victory pies?
Well, what those apparently entailed is substituting out 1/3 of the flour substance for something other than wheat.
Dancer turned aviator Vernon Castle was reported killed in an aviation accident in Texas.
Things were getting unsettled in Austria, which appeared to be teetering towards bowing out of the war. Close to home, the war looked like it was bringing the Medical corps or cavalry back to Cheyenne. Cavalry had certainly had a presence there previously..
