WASHINGTON IS
 BEHIND SENDING
 TROOPS OVER LINE
(Continued from Page One.)

Reports that the American troopers teen mics south of the border against a much larger force of bandits were heard with anxious interest in off cial circles
 Five troops of cavalry crossed the border early in the day. At a late hour tonight it was not known off cialy just where they were or inst what account they had given of them selves
 While no formal word of the policy of the administration was given ou, it was reliably stated that the army Would be given free rein to catch the bandits if possible It was not con- sidered in administration circles that Colonel Slocum's act in any sense constituted an invasion of Mexico, a policy which the administration has opposed in the past and will continue to oppose
 The state department at first had planned to ask permission of the Car ranIa government to send troops across the border in pursuit of the outlaw band. Then came official word that the cavalry already had crossed. Later MT. Arredondo called upon Sec retary Lansing, expressed regret for the Villa raid. and was informed of the attitude of the United States. Mir. Arredondo said he would communi- cate with General Carranza immedi- ately.
 "On expressing a hope that the Car ranza government would not object to the crossing of the troops, the state department was said fully to realize that there might be objections and it was fully prepared to meet them should they arrise.
 Persons who talked to Mir Are dondo, however, gathered the impress sion that he at least seems to be- lieVe the Carranza government might not object.
 Formally, there is no authority for the presence of the American troops in Mexico. In fact the patrols along the border from the beginning of the disorders there have been under ord CTS not to cross under any considera- ton. If the provocation had not been so great, the officers responsible for the action today would face court martial. Suggestions that Colonel Slocum, in command at Columbus. might be court martialed. however. were secuted by some officials, while at the war department itself the sub ject was not discussed.
 Newton D. Baker who became sec retary of war today, conferred with President Wilson tonight Three hours later MT Baker said no orders had been sent for the recall of the Ameri- can soldiers
 Major General Scott, chief of staff. telegraphed General Funston at Fort sam Houston in command of the bor der forces. for all details available He said the policy of the government would not be outlined until General tunston's reply had been received.
 What Tad been done toward strengthening the forces near Colum- bus and reinforcing the little con- mand that had ridden against the bandits apparently was not known at the war department tonight General Funston is making such troop move
