London. May 17.--sir Roger Case nent and Daniel Julian Bailey were committed for trial today for high treason.
 This decision was reached at the con- clusion of the preliminary hearing ot these men on the charge of participa- tion in the Irish rebellion which has been in progress since Monday. The date of the trial and the court before which 1t will be heard have not yet been announced.
 A Russian colonel. Nicholas Belaiew, who is in this country on special work for his government. idensified the rifle produced in court yesterday ~hich was taken by diver from the wreck of the German steamship Aud as one made in the Russian Poula works in 1915. The cartridges, however, were not of Rus- sian make. The inference drawn by those in court was, that part of the war materials shipped from Germany consisted of captured Russian rifles. ammunition for which was made in Germany.
