April 10, 1919. The Yankee Division returns home while Americans in northern Russia couldn't figure out why they weren't home.

The Troop Ship Mongolia, the first American ship to have sunk a submarine during World War One, arrives in Boston.

The 26th Division returned to the United States on this day in 1919.  They arrived on the Mongolia, which had obtained a measure of fame early in the war by being the first American ship to sink a submarine, troop ship though she was.

On the same day, some Americans still overseas were questioning why they were.

Their question was logical enough.  They'd been conscripted for a war in Germany, not Russia.  Fortunately for them, a near mutiny was averted, but this certainly demonstrated that time was running out for the American mission in Russia.

Students at UW published what amounted to a late "April Fool's" issue, but in the spirit of the revolutionary times.

And Quebec, showing its Gallic roots, held a referendum that allowed for the sale of beer, wine and cider, overturning in their province a nationwide prohibition on alcohol.
