poles, and many howls and growls were
registered by people who found that the

San Antonio, March 15.--General
Pershing and practically his entire
command crossed the border about
noon today, it was announced this
afternoon by General Funston. A
few minor detachments remained be-
hind at points around Columbus, but
win follow quickly. Carranza troops
Joined forces with the Americans
Rcross the border and accompanied
them.
Pershing crossed the border just
south of Columbus, while smaller
column, commanded by Col. Geo. j.
Dodd, entered some distance west of
Columbus, also moving in a southerly
direction. These two forces are ex-
pected to be in touch with each other
before the end Of the week. By that
time, It Is expected, infantry supports
VIII hold the line Of communication
along which motor trucks for the
transportation of supplies will oper-
ate. The exact number of men in the
columns is kept secret.
Funston's report served to dispel, to
a great extent, the reports that re-
sistance might be offered by Carranza.
Four hundred Carranza soldiers, un-
der Col. Bertani, at Palomas, South
Columbus, joined the Americans
eagerly. While the Mexicans, as a
body, viii remain under their own
commander, Pershing will employ
some Of them as scouts. IF the exact
whereabouts of Villa Is known army
headquarters have not disclosed it,
It Is believed that he is moving south
ward toward the Guerrero district in
the Sierra Madero foothills. Car
rama expects to turn him northward
30 meet the Americans.
There was nothing today to indicate
that the detection of the Carranza
garrison at ojinaga had been follow
ed by other Carranza troops.
A signal corps detachment is with
the expedition, equipped with field
wireless, and while the aeropfane
squadron is till on the American side
tonight, it is expected that some ma
chimes will go forward tomorrow.

October 1, 1915, and deals with each

sioners assumed office, the receipts
since that time, the disbursements and

ent time.
1t is understood the report deals
exhaustively with the interest and
sinking fund with which to retire
bonds, as well as the pavement as
sessment fund, neither Of which has
been found in satisfactory condition
The audit was made on petition Of
citizens several months ago, and the
governor, acting under one Of the
provisions of the commission govern
ment charter, appointed Mr.. Hager-
man to make the investigation.
Under the law the report of the
auditor is TO be published.
