American troops had not been sent into Mexico.
They were taking up positions near Columbus, New Mexico, however. As well as standing ready in El Paso. It was clear by this day that Villa was going to attempt to move north. . . maybe to Juarez, and less likely on Columbus.
And it was unlikely that he was going to try to cross the border. But being on guard was well warranted.
Vladivostok was also a location where a lot of troops, and refugees, were in evidence on this day in 1919. In this case, White Russian troops, and refugees fleeing the Reds as the lines changed every day.
