Some of these have already come, and 33 motor trucks are expected at any time at Columbus carrying ordnance. It was pointed out here tonight the Army will make every effort to keep the movements of the American troops secret until ttiey are well on their way to the border in order to prevent 'the possibility of Mexican bandits under taking sniping operations along the communication lines while the troops are moving northward. A strict cen sorship of the movements of the ex pedition when it entered Mexico was enforced and similar conditions were said today to prevail at Columbus and field headquarters. Americans acquainted with the coun try occupied by the punitive forces say the problem of finding camping grounds along the line of communi cation is not serious, as water can be had within marching distances. El Valle, marked on Mexican maps as San Buena Ventura, is about 175 miles south of Columbue by road. The march from El Valle to Chocolate Pass, about nine miles from Colonia Dublan, lies on the Santa Maria River. Plenty of water can be obtained along its course by digging wells.
