his staff a reii.tnbufion of forces that
he believed would guarantee protection
of Nmerican residents from Mexican

crossed into Mexico near Roquillas as
a result of the Glenn Springs raid.
Kour troops of cavalry and a machine

close to the line, scouting through a
limited territory south of the border,
but there never has heen anv intention
of .rndinp forward at that, point a
