with even their comrades at the base
here.

When Lieut.. Zell alighted from a
troop train in Columbus and had gazed
for moment over the grey, desert
like wastes about the town, he ex-
claimed: Great God. Is this Columbus.

little attention to the remark until a
Few minutes later they heard a shot
and found him dead with a wound in
