It provides for a fine of $200 for any individual, firm or corporation who sends out any false and alarming news regarding the sit- uation here. A brief summary of the world news will be forwarded each day by wire- less to the troops at the front through Major W. R. Sample, the command- | ant at Columbus. ] Villa Deming, N.
