-FOUR THOUSAND MEN
PLUNGE into MEXICO
GENERAL PERSHING'S COMMAND
CROSSES BORDER At NOON
ON WEDNESDAY.
No Developments Are Expected Until
After Friday, When Commander
VIII Have Free Rein

San Antonio, Texas, March 10
Brigadier General John J. Pershing,
with more than 1000 troops, began the
pursuit i'm Mexico yesterday of Fran
cisco villa, whose raid across the Dor
der last week caused President Will
son and his cabinet to decide to use
the United States army 20 run him
down.
General Pershing's report that he
and his command had crossed the in
ternational boundary line just south of
Columbus reached General Frederick
Funston, in charge here of general
operations, late yesterday.
His report served to dispel to a
great extent fears that had been en-
tertained in some quarters that re-
sistance would be offered by troops
of the de facto government. Colonel
Bertani, the commanding officer of the
Carranza garrison at Palomas, on the
south side fthe dividing line, prompt
/ ly Joined General Pershing. His force
was only some 400 men, but they were
reported to have displayed willingness
and even eagerness to join in the
chase. As a body the Mexican troops
will remain under their own COM
mander, but a number of them are be-
ing employed as scouts by General
Pershing.
Reports of progress in the country
where the search has begun will be
made by General Pershing to General
Funston, but it is not anticipated that
these will be frequent or deal with any
but the more important developments.
How far into Mexico the column has
reached was unknown here last night,
nor did General Funston appear great
ly concerned. General Pershing's
course for the next two days is known
at headquarters and not until after
Friday are sharp developments ex-
pected.
Colonel George A. Dodd, heading a
smaller column that entered Mexico
some distance west of Columbus, was
moving in a southerly direction and
these two forces should be within
touch of each other before the end Of
the week. BY that time it is expected
an infantry support will hold the lines
of communication along which motor
trucks for the transportation of am
munition and supplies r'i'l he oper-
ated Although the ~o~rr ship i'm
posed by General Funston AS relaxed
last night, efforts still 80 made to
keep secret the details oi the plan of
campaign, the exact number OF men
engaged and their actual locations.
