WHO WILL PAY THESE
SOLDIERS BOARD 4?
If HUERTA MEN ARE RELEASED
FROM THE PRISON CAMP
NEAR Ell PAso

Pecos, Tex, March 23.-Judge Ed
ward W. Meek Of the United States
district court for northern Texas, to-
day opened the habeas corpus hear
ing here for the release Of 5000 Mexi-
can federal prisoners held at Fort
Bliss, Texas, by the United States
military. The Judge granted the writ
last week at Dallas and set this place
for the hearing today
The contention OF the prisoners is
that the United States has no right
to hold them under any International
agreement or law. Under the Haghe
treaty, they assert, a country has a
right to hold military men fleeing
from another country if they are en-
gagged in an international war, but
they assert that where the troops are
only engaged in an interior strife to
put down a rebellion at home, there
is no warrant for holding them The
prisoners constituted the former
4uerta garrison at Oiinaga. Mexico,
and fled to Texas, after weeks bat
tie against Villas rebels. They we're
made prisoners BY United States
troops and interned at Fort Bliss to
await the close of the wal, in Mexico.
Provisional President Huerta Of
Mexico refused to pay for their sab
sistence as the first step Of his charge
that they are illegally held He fol
lowed it by engaging American attor-
neys to bring the habeas corpus pro
ceedings. A similar case was brought
in favor Of Huerta troops who fled
from Naco, Sonora and are now in
termed at Fort Rosecrans. CAL The
federal judge in California decided
against the prisoners. and the case is
on appeal. The United States supreme
court will have to decide one Of the
cases.
Arguments we're copela Ia by noon
and Judge Meek took the case under
advisement, saying that he would rem
der decision later. Attorneys for
the prisoners argued that the fourth.
firth and sixth amendments to the
United States constitution extend
guarantees to the prisoners.

an exhaustive debate on the subject
by agreeing to a motion for the ad-
iournment of the house immediately
after the secretary for war had spok-
en-, in order to discuss the Irish situ-
alton. The leader of the opposition
declared that the governments pro.
cedure was most amazing instance
Of paltering with the house of com
mons. The danger of the British
army being destroyed before the coun-
try's eyes had, he said, uome on the
government like a belt from the blue.
He had. he declared, received proof
from other quarters apart from the
cavalry regiments that designations
of officers had occurred.
Mr.. Law then read a letter stating
that officers who would not fight
against the Ulstermen wodid be dis
missed from the service. The action
Of the government in moving troops.
Mr.. Law declared, was foolish as there
was no new situation in Ulster or
any threatened outbreak.
The opposition read letter in
which General Sir Arthur Paget had
stated to the commanding officers of
the regiments that active operations
were to begin against Ulster and that
it was expected the country would be
in a blaze by Saturday. The Irish
commander-in-chief wrote that he was
in close communication with the war
office and had received instructions
from headquarters. Mr.. Law assert
ed:

minister to convince the house that
with or without his knowledge some
of his colleagues did not make these

Belfast. Ireland, March 2S-The
capital Of Ulster, in which are the
headquarters Of the provisional gov
ernment Of the province, is today
perhaps the least excited outwardly
in the United Kingdom. No more
troops have arrived here, and none
are expected. The residents look to
London and the Curraugh camp for
their news.
The statement issued by Premier
Asquith last night declaring that the
movements OF troops were. Of a pure
ly precautionary character has not
weakened the determination Of the
unionists to be prepared for all
eventualities. When Sir Edward Car
son, the leader of the Ulstermen, read
it today he remarked:
THE statement simply represents
the position the prime minister has
been driven to take. The government
has put itself in a ludicrous position
but its action makes no difference to
us. We are proceeding steadily with
our preparations and organization.
We are not in the least affected by
anything the government may do or
pretend to do. we shall keep stead
lily in view our main object, which is
to prevent ourselves being put by
force under a government we detest." :"
