BASEMENT CODE |S REVEALED IN
 TREASON TRIAL
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel


 LONDON, June 27.-During the tes- timony today of Contable Riley, who assisted in the arrest of Sir Roger Easement, on trial for high treason, the prosecution introduced a paper on which was written a code Sir Rodger is said to have thrown away. This paper was picked up and given to Riley.
 The prosecution has laid great stress on the importance of this code. which it contends was intended for communication with Germans.
 Opposite series of numbers were sentences such as Send cannon and ammunition" and Send more eXplo- sives." The prosecution attempted to establish that some of the penciled figures were German characters. A large number of witnesses appeared for the prosecution. Much of the testimony was cerroborative and dealt with events pertaining to Sir Roger after his arrest.
 The prosecution rested it's case sud- denly. The attorney general an nounced that he had no statement to make.
 MT. Sullivan immediately began an address in an attempt to have the in- dictment quashed. He argued that the alleged reasonable acts were com mitted outside the British realm and could not be tried in Great Britain. The prosecution had laid emphasis on maps found in the hand bags on the beach. Col. Gordon. map expert said they were foreign productions of British ordnance maps
 AS Sullivan proceeded with the wit ness it became increasingly evident | that the defense attached the great l est importance to the attempt to show ! the indictment was faulty, inasmuch as it charged Sir Roger committed treason ''hy adhering to the kings enemies elsewhere than in the king: 1 realms"
 For more than two hours Sullivan | argued the matter.
 When court adjourned Sullivan hat not completed his argument, Whicl will be continued tomorrow.

 It is not believed however, in the event they have crossed the border that they will encounter any Carran- cista troops, all available reports here indicating the larger Mexican forces having been concentrated east and south of the district in Chihuahua and westward of it in Sonora.
 Mexican reports tonight indicated that General Jacinto Trevino, com handing the Carrancista army corps of the north, has practically completed the disposition of his troops in prepa ration for possible hostilities with the United States The command, the strength of which is variously estimated at from 25.000 to 10000 men, has been distributed along the two railroads of Chihuahua. the Mexican Central and the Mexico Northwestern and in the Santa Maria river valley in such a way as to menace the American line of communication and present an ob- stacle to a possible American drive toward Chihuahua City.
 For more than a week troops have been concentrated in force at strategic points north of Chihuahua City along the Mexican Central, attempt to use the Mexico Northwestern road, which extends in a sweeping semi circle, the arc of which bends to the west, from Juarez, through Casas Grandes, Madeira and Santa Ysabel, to Chihuahua City also have been made by the, stationing of large forces at Bustillos and Guz- man.

 Several thousand soldiers, including some artillery, are said to be bivoucked in the hills above the Santa Clara can yon, about 20 miles east of Namiquipa, their guns commanding the canyon through which passes the wagon road south toward Chihuahua from General Pershing's chain of bases.
 To offset these maneuvers, General Pershing has gathered at Colonia Dub Ian more than 200 n.o,or trucks, with which. in an mergency, he can trans port infantry across country rapidly, the line of communication has been shortened, the southern base being at Fl Valle, about 200 miles south of the border.

CABINET SPLIT
 Is THREATENED
TRepublican A. p. Leased Wlrel

LONDON, June 2S.-The threatened split in the cabinet over the Irish problem occupies a prominent place in all the morning papers, Most of the editorials appeal to the Unionists to settle their differences and get down to the main business of war The Daily News says:
 Even if there comes a split in the Unionist party the coalition govern mcnt should weather the storm It would make us the mock of Europe if the government failed to do so at an hour when the allies are making their greatest effort against the enemy in the field.''
 The Daily Mail asks:
 Are we at war or are we playing still the old style game of party pol itics? An attempt to throw the whole nation back into the whirlpool of the Irish question is idle and mischievous. For such pettiness the nation at large has nothing but impatient contempt.
