 Although Brig. General Pershing and Colonel Dodd marched into Mexico with some 5000 men about noon today, it was not until more than six hours afterward that the official announce ment came to Washington. It was re- ceived this evening and Secretary Baker at once hurried to the White House for q conference with the president At 10 o'clock the secretary made this announcement:
