a SD United States Troops Enter Mexico. Nearly the Whole Force Mobilized al Columbus, N. M., Crosses without Disturbance. The United States army expedition- ary force entered Mexico from near Columbus, N. M. Brigadier General J. J. Pershing’s main expeditionary column at Colum: “bus crossed the boundary and started south after Villa and his bandits “shortly after noon Wednesday. The first force crossed the line in -a single column without disturbance. Carranza forces that had been mo. bilized along the boundary joined with the American troops south of the line | and accompanied them on their march | south through the desolate country: below the border after the bandits. | Pershing left a few minor detach] ments behind him. These will follow) the main body quickly. Pershing had four thausand men in his command when he left the line. It has been said that besides Persh- l ing’s column of troops, which are said | tc be composed chiefly of cavalry, one | | or more other columns will follow | from other points, and perhaps com- | bine with his main body later. Pershing’s report that he and his command had crossed the internation. | al boundary line, just south of Colum- "bus, was sent to Major General Fred- erick Funston, who is in charge of, general operations at San Antonio. 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 the de facto government. Colonel Bertani, the commanding ‘officer of the Carranza garrison at Palomas, on the south side of the dividing line, promptly joined Persh- dng. His force was only some 400 ‘men, but they were reported to have ‘displayed willingness, and even eager: ness, to join the chase. As a body, the Mixican troops will Temain under their own commander, but a number of them are being em- ployed as scouts by General Persh- ing. Reports or progress in the country | where the search op | has been begun | will be made by Pershing to Funston. ‘but it is not anticipated these will be frequent or deal with any but the more important developments. How far into Mexico the column has reach- ed was unknown in El Paso, : General Gavira, Carranza command- | er at Juarez, Mexico, said he had re- ‘ceived instructions from General Ob- Tegon, Carranza’s minister of war to order all troops in his district to co- operate in every way with the Ameri- can expeditionary force. Juarez is quiet on the surface, but “Americans: met with ‘insults’ in some parts of the town and there was evi- dence of a strong undercurrent of hos- | tility towards the United States. General Pershing’s course for the next two days is known al headquar- | ters in San Antonio and not until after | Friday are sharp developments ex- | pected. y Later it became known that Colonel George A. Dodd, heading a smaller column, that entered Mexico some dis- tance west of Columbus, also is mov- ing 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 in- fantry support will hold the lines of communication along which motor trucks for the transportation of am- munition and supplies will be oper- ated. Pershing has gone into Mexico with orders to overtake and wipe out Villa and his organization. Unless orders to the contrary are received from those higher in authority than Funston, the campaign will continue until Villa is captured or killed.
