 NOT TOLD OF MOVE UNTIL TROOPS START
Baker Announces Forces Have Advanced Into Mex ico-Four Correspondents Accompany Pershing

Washington, March 15,-With American
 troops across the Mexican border tonight seeking Villa and his bandits, President Wilson and officials of the war depart
 ment resigned themselves to wait pos
 sibly many days for news of develop n.ents in the chase. Information that
 forces of the de facto Mexican govern
 ment were cooperating with the expe- dition from the United States served to
 relieve tense anxiety that had been ap- parent on all sides over the possibility of Carranza troops revolting against their commanders and attempting to oppose the entry of the Americans.
 Although Brigadier General Pershing and Colonel Dodd marched into Mexico with some 5000 men about noon today, it was not until more than six hours after
 wards that the official announcement
 came to Washington. It was received this evening, and Secretary Baker at
 once hurried to the White House for
 conference with the President At 10
 clock the secretary made this announce
 ment:
 "The department received tonight in code message from General Funston,
 which announces that American troops crossed the border into Mexico today.
 but does not give the hour of the cross- ing. I am very happy to say that the
 dispatch shows that the military repre- sentative of the de facto government of Mexico not only interposed no ob- %o k <s Secretary Baker made it.clear that he
 had not given out the whole of General
 Funston's dispatch. He said while the expedition was in progress the depart ment would make public no details which might interfere with General Funston s plans for secrecy. Officers of the general staff were on duty at the department until late to- night but as far as could be learned no additional information of importance had been received. General Funston is developments, and it is generally under stood that there is little probability of clash between the American troops and the bandits before Friday or Satur- day.
 Reports reaching the department tonight told of General Obregon, Carranza's new Secretary of War. and chief military man, ordering General Gavira. comman
 der of the Juarez garrison. to cooperate ir every way with the United States forces. This was accepted as convincing proof of the attitude of the Carranza government, and any remaining fears of trouble between the Americans and sol diers of the de facto government are
