Troops To Stay On Border.

New York Times 100 years ago today, May 29, 1913:
Second Division to Remain All Summer — Manoeuvres Planned.
Special to The New York Times.
    WASHINGTON, May 28.— The second division of troops mobilized at Galveston last February, when the troubled conditions in Mexico caused apprehensions for the safety of American citizens in that country, is to be kept in camp at Texas City during the Summer. There has been some expectation that they would be returned to their various stations, but Secretary Garrison has decided that with the improvement of camp conditions and the continued necessity apparently for troops on the border, the division shall remain where it is.
    The opportunity will be used for Summer manoeuvres, and some changes may be made temporarily which will relieve the monotony of camp life. A plan is under consideration for cavalry manoeuvres in the Shenandoah Valley by a brigade made up of regiments in the Eastern Division, and also manoeuvres for the troops on patrol duty along the Mexican border. Secretary Garrison is planning to attend the cavalry manoeuvres.
