When they attempted to get through they were put under arrest and during the day were loaded on a train and shipped to the border to be sent back into their native country. The captured bandits were delivered to General Pershing’s headquarters to await trial.,"I think not. The prospect must brighten before I increase my fleet. The war risks are stupendous.
