 SAN ANTONIO, Texas, March 15.-General John J. Pershing. with more than four thousand troops, began the pursuit into Mexico today of Francisco Villa. General Pershing's report that he and his command had crossed the international boundary line just south of Columbus, reached Gen era Frederick Funston late to- day. Reports of progress in the country where the search has been begun will be made by General Perching to General Funston, but it is not expected these will be frequent or deal developments.
 How far into Mexico the col unnn had reached tonight was un- known here. Not until after Fri day are sharp developments ex pected.
 Colonel George A. Dodd, head
 ing a smaller column that en- tered Mexico some distance west of Columbus, also is moving in southerIy direction, and these two forces should be within touch of each other before the end of the week. By that time it is ex
 pected an infantry support will hold the line of communication along which motor trucks for the transportation of ammunition and supplies will be operated.
 Although the censorship imposed by General Funston was relaxed to- night. efforts still were made to keel secret the details of the plan of the campaign.
 General Pershing's report of his en- trance into Mexico served to dispel to ., great extent fears that had beer entertained in some quarters that resistance would be offered by the troops of the de facto government Colonel Bertani. the commanding of ficer of the Carranza garrison at Pa lomas, on the south side of the line joined General Pershing. His force was only some 400 ment, but they were reported to have displayed will ingness and even eagerness to joil In the chase

WASHINGTON, March 15. - Con- struction of a great government labor atory for development of submarines, aeroplanes and other war equipment was advocated before the house naval committee today by Thomas A. Edison and other members of the civilian naval advisory board MT. Edison said a properly equipped establishment cost ing to begin with sl,50o,O00 would make possible experiments for stand ardiZation of submarine parts, for in- stance, which might result in enabling builders to turn out a submarine in d week instead of the many months now required.

TO TURN VILLA OVER
 FOR PROMPT EXECUTION

While apparently there has beer nc formal discussion what shall be done with Francisco Villa if he is captured. it is regarded as proba ble that if taken alive, the bandit leader will be turned over to the de facto government for prompt execution. That would avcid embarrassing questions which might arise if the United States undertook to arrange fo: his eXtradition to Texas for trial on the charge of mnrder. Army officers think however, it is al together unlikely that Villa will permit himself to be made pris- oner. Knowing the certain fate awaiting him, he is expected to fight as long as there is breath iI his body

FOUND OVER 700 JOBS
FOR STUDENTS

Some $50 students who are earning
part or all of their expenses secured
work last year through the help of the
student employment bureau maintained
at the Alumni headquarters at the
University of Wisconsin, according to
figures recently compiled. Of these 446
were from Wisconsin towns and cities
Permanent positions, such as waiting
on table, taking care of furnaces, doing
stenOgraphic work, were secured for
40 students. Odd jobs to the number
of 612-taking care of lawns and walks
washing windows, beating rugs, and
similar work that is paid for at the rate
of % cents an hour-were found for
others. Several students earned $75
during the year doing such odd jobs.
Information about temporary ard
permanent jobs for students is summed
up in pamphlet recently issued by the
bureau. The pamphlet tells what kinds
of work are to be had. how to get it,
and an estimate Of the students eX-
penses. Students trained in such lines
as stenOgraphy or carpentry are in de-
mand, but for unframed labor there are
often four or five candidates for every
job. New students are warned against
entering the university with less than
5000 over their entrance fees because of
unexpected expenses and the difficulties
that may arise if studies suffer from
outside work.
