The news was beginning to read like it had in 1916 once again. Border tensions were rising, and Texas was hoping that the President would federalize the wartime State Guard to provide border security in light of increased concerns about border incursions.
Oddly, the Laramie Boomerang was running a story expressing concern over developments on the border but praising Felipe Ángeles, whom was conceived of as the putative head of state in the areas that Villa controlled.
Elsewhere, in Germany more precisely, Russian POWS were being repatriated. Of course, they'd be repatriated right into a country in the midst of a civil war.
In other news of the day, Governor Carey wasn't in a big hurry to deal with the 19th Amendment and wasn't going to convene a special session to deal with it. The Amendment, which had just passed the Senate, provided for female suffrage, but that had always been a feature of Wyoming's law and Carey commented to the effect that the amendment didn't impact Wyoming in any fashion, and therefore the cost of a special session wasn't worthwhile.
