The Consul at Chihuahua (Stewart) to the Secretary of State

Chihuahua, August 29, 1919, 5 p.m.
[Received August 30, 2.56 a.m.]

My August 29, noon.41 Presence American planes yesterday over city has caused more ill feeling here than recent crossing of border by American troops after bandits, because the people feel that yesterday’s incident was without cause and a needless affront. Ambassador not advised.
