touched the rafters with his finger

tips, were packed tight long before

the bare spots on the floor began to

disappear.

The faces In the galleries, bal

conies, boxes and theends of the big

splotches of white In the glare of the

big mercury lamps above the- ring.

In frail-looking perches, swung

from the rail of the second balcony,

the moving picture men focused

their cameras on the ring.

The preliminaries began, but for all

CENSOR AT FRONT

KEEPSLID TIGHT

Correspondents Allowed to Send

Only Twenty-Five Words

Daily by Wire.

ALL KEPT AT HEADQUARTERS

FIELD HEADQUARTERS,

UNITED STATES ARMY IN MEX

ICO, March 25. (By AeropUne to

Columbus, N. M.) Owing to lim

ited wire and wireless facilities the

total number of words which may

be sent from here by correspond

ents is 260 or 300 daily. This num

ber of words has been divided

equally among the correspondents

In the field, so that with the pres

ent wire limitations the number of

words which any newspaper may re

ceive by wire during a day Is about

twenty-five.

The censors in announcing this

limitation said that military neces

sities precluded any larger use for

the present or the army wires, which

are the only means of communication

from the field headquarters or the

front.

The correspondents with the army arc

bound by the same regulations as the sol

diers. None 6f them may visit Mexican

towns outside the lines and as at present

the army is occupying no such towns

all of them are outside the lines. Further

more; the censorship regulations do not

permit of correspondents filing over any

wires or by any other couriers than those

designated by tho censor. l'f to the

present no correspondents have been per

mitted beyond the field headquarters.

Fxcept tho brief dally dispatches by

wireless all news passing the censor Is

carried back by army malls.

' Brigadier General J. J.. Pershing. In a

talk to the newspaper men asked them

not to use the name of officers nor of

military units. He explained in a gen

eral way the movements now being made

against Villa. However, he cautioned the

correspondents specifically against using

any of thla Information. The newspaper

men have shared the hardships of the

soldiers on the marches. As the main

object was speed, all superfluous bag

gage had to be left behind, and as a re

sult most of the writing has been done

by daylight on account of tack of light

Sometimes the new has bean written by

campfire light, occasionally by candles.

and rarely by the cotaperaZJvrly luxurious

Mexican Soldiers

Sensitive to Jeers

v . Of -Yankee Troopers

FIELD. HEADQUARTERS. March

(Via Aeroplane to Columbus, March 26.)

Americans who reside' In the portion of

Mexico through which 'the army chasln

Villa haa marched express tho belief that,

barring conflict with the Mexican army,

these American troops will have an op

portunity to establish business prosper

ity between the United States and north

west Mexico, There Is at present no in

dication at field headquarters that any

fighting is likely, except that sought

with the members ef Pancho Villa's

band. Therefore the Americans In touch

with the pursuing troops are watching

an unusual phase of . the troop move

ments, namely, the manner In which the

Americans treat tha Mexicans as Indl

Tlduals. These Americana declare that they look

lor the United States army, which pays

aa It goes, to create a good impression.

Bishop A, B. Call of the Mormon col

ony at Colonla Dublan said:

'Some of the Mexican soldiers are

small boys. I know of one from here

who was only 11 years old. Sometimes

these boys do not cut a very good military

figure on account of their youth and bare

feet. But they do not like to be laughed

at by American soldiers and their com

manders object to having fun poked at

their men. If the American troops going

through Mexico treat the Mexicans with

consideration In the small things the

first big step will have been made toward

establishing cordial relations between

Mexicans and Americana."

Dry Men, Open Up

(From a Staff Correspondent.)

IJKCOLN, Neb., March 26. (Special

Telegram.) Admonishing all dry voters

that they should vote for none but pro

hibitionists, William J. Bryan opened the

campaign for a dry Nebraska at the city

barger, U. McKelvla and one or two

others were the speakers. While Mr.

Bryan had been admonished that no pol

1th s would be permitted, It could easily

be seen that the drift of his remarks

were along the line of voters always re

membering that Brother Charlie was a

candidate for governor.

selves. The Sussex was towed te' Boulogne

to indicate whether It, waa struck by a

mine or a torpedo, but officials believe

a submarine was responsible.

Although passenger steamships have

been crossing the channel daily on regu

lar schedule since the beginning of the

war, thla is the first serious misadven

ture which haa befallen any of them.

A man named Edward Marshall, be

lieved to be the well known syndicate

writer of that name, 'was a passenger

on the Sussex.

The only physician on board was an

American woman whose name has not

Pancho Villa was reported today to
