Monday, December 27, 1915. Siding With Carranza.

Wilson was allowing Mexican troops transport again:


Violations of women were going to be investigated by the US.


It's worth noting that its a universal norm that women and children suffer the most in war, indeed, in any war, as our twenty-fourth law of human behavior holds.

Storms were also in the news.

In the US, the moral conduct of American women was questioned.


Women in Carranza's forces got a story, while the Colorado National Guard was looking for troops.


A "bachelor girl" had a column.


Endurance's carpenter Harry McNash refused to work on the basis that the ship's articles were no longer in effect as the ship had sunk.  While Shackleton was able to restore order, McNash would later not be awarded the Polar Medal based on his insubordination.

As an aside, McNash's cat Mrs. Chippy had to be destroyed after the ship was lost.  He went on to finish 23 years in the Navy but was under constant pain, and eventually ended up destitute.

Mrs. Chippy.
