 Columbus, N. M., March 17.-A bustling stream of wagons, hundreds of strolling soldiers, and in the dis tance moving clouds of dust that may be anything from column to wh 'rl- wind-that is the Columbus of today.

 Bread sells three loaves for quar- ter and milk is 20 cents a quart.
 One hardware store received three cases of oranges during the day. and sold out n an hour. A moving picture show, opened yesterday. has been playing to capacity, but throughout all the activity and rush, there is a wall of secrecy that has withstood every effort at penetration.
 The military censor scans every outgoing telegram and the telephone force has been ordered to refuse ser vice to anyone attempting to tell ot movement of the troops.
 News of the first engagement Will be made public as soon as its publ : cation will not longer be of strategic importance. says the censor. and with that the citizens have been forced to rest content.
