The business of the day was largely routine. though with it all there was steady and de- termined preparation for duty ia the country's service.
 The first troops to be examined were the officers and men of the signal corps, Capt. William Amerine, commander The examination as whole was satisfactory, only about eight or 10, including one of ficer, failing to measure up to the stand ard required. Lieut. o. M. Geble was rejected on account of underweight, though it Is expected he will pass on a special examination to be given him.

BREAK IS AVERTED

Washington, June 2S-An immediate break between the United States and Mexico has been averted by compliance with the American demand for release of the B troopers captured in the fight at Carrizal.
 Whether war has been prevented or merely postponed, no one here would at- tempt to say tonight. Official informa- ton as to the attitude Of General Car ranza was lacking. Until his response to Secretary Lansings note, dispatched Sunday, making two peremptory and distinct demands is received, there will be no decision on whether President Will son shall lay the crisis before Con- gress.
 News of the release of the prisoners, received early tonight in press dispatches, brought undisguised relief to high off cials. It was accepted as correct, al- though no announcement had come through official sources. Moreover, it was assumed that Carranza. impressed with the urgency of the situation had ordered the captured cavalrymen started for the border without waiting for his announcement of the action to reach Washington.
 While it is generally conceded that this move lessens tension and makes the crisis less imminent no one conversant with the grave problem is losing sight of the fact that the all-important ques- ton of Carranza's attitude toward the American expedition across the border to protect the territory and cit izens of the United States from bandit outrages remains unsettled. If the de facto government stands upon the orders to General Trevino to attack Pershing 5 men when they move otherwise than to- ward the border, the situation actually is just what it was before. except that

DRAMATIC DAY IN
 TRIAL OF BASEMENT Sir Rogers Attorney Col lapses During Argument ACCEPTED NO GOLD Knight Declares That He Was Bribed to Raise An Irish Legion Among
 Prisoners-Says Funds Were
 Supplied By Irishmen

London, June 2S.-A day filled with sen- Roger Easement for treason was brought to sudden and dramatic close late today when Sergeant Sullivan, Sir Rogers lead ing attorney, collapsed in the midst of an impa assioned summing up.
 MT. Sullivan, an Irishman, was painting picture of the wrongs he declared Ire- land suffered and maintaining that the prisoner had committed no treason when he attempted to raise an Irish brigade in Germany to protect the rights of the peo- pie of Ireland against unlawful tyranny"
 It was during one of his most heated outbursts that the speaker suddenly paused, swayed heavily against the bench and collapsed into a seat.
 HAD BEEN CAUTIONED
 Just previously the chief justice had cautioned the attorney that he must keep to the evidence in his argument the justice adding that he had with difficulty restrained himself from interrupting the attorney at several other points. Mir. Sullivan apologized and proceeded, but the strain under which he was laboring proved too much for him.
 Earlier in the day the justices had over ruled the motion of the defense to quash the indictment on the ground that the statute under which it was drawn did not provide for the trial of man who committed treason outside of the realm. It was announced that no witnesses would be produced in his behalf, mainly because such witnesses must be secured in Germany, and this was not permitted.
 With the failure of this move Sir Roger himself made statement to the jury. This statement, which was not given under oath and consequently permitted of no cross examination. was flat de- nial that he had worked in Germany s interests or that he had accepted Ger man gold as bribe.
 II have never sold myself to any man or any government and have never al- lowed any government to use me- he declared He indicated that he had had rothing to do with the Sim Fein re- beliion and asserted that this rebellion was not inspired or directed from Ger many He declared that he touched on these personal matters because they were intended to tarnish the cause he held SD dear.
 NO AID TO GERMANS
 MT Sullivan, in his speech, stated that Sir Roger was charged with aiding Ger many and declared that not an atom of assistance had been rendered the enemy. Sir Roger had asked men to enlist In the Irish brigade when the war was over and the seas clear, said the attorney. These men were to fight for Irish home rule. He told of armed bodies operating in Ireland before the war and declared that Ireland was being bullied by these men and that the civil government had offered no protection.
 As the attorney, proceeded. he leaned forward and pounded the desk. as if to challenge those present to dispute his words and there was an uneasy shifting in seats when he declared that if the
