MORE SEVERE SENTENCE.

Amsterdam, Aug 25-The result of DR.. Karl Lieb-
nechts appeal against his sentence for treason has
been the imposition of new and more severe sentence
of four yars and month penal servude and expulsion
from the army, according to dispatch from Berlin
The appeal was heard Wednesday before supreme
court martial presided by naval captain. The So
cast leader defended by his attorney Herr Bracke
of Brunswick.
In addition to his prison sentence, Dr. Liebknecht is
deprived Of his civil rights for six years.
The court declared that the sentence was imposed
for attempted treason severe dsobedience and re-
sistance against the armed power of the state"

E. F. Swergal, for several years chief clerk to the superintendent of the Copper River and Northwestern rail road, is now at Deming, New Mexico, and he writes the following interest ing report of Villas raid on Columbus, to a Cordova friend:
 Columbus, situated in Luna coun- ty (of which Deming is the county seat, orsthe E. ?. & S. w. railway,
 80 miles west of Fl Paso and imme-
 diately north of the Mexican boundary.
 A small desert town, garrisoned by
 two troops of the Thirteenth U. s.
 cavalry. These troops were stationed
 at Columbus for mounted patrol duty along the border About a. m. Iwhen only one company was in garrison, the other patron; this fact having un-
 doubtedly been reported to Villa by his many Mexican spies on the Am erican side of the border), two of Villas men crawled up on the Ameri- can sentTres, shooting the twp sta toned south of the camp, one of the sentries before dying having killed two Villa men and the other killed one. Before arriving at the boundary Villa haTangued his 400 men 10 kill, burn and loot; incidentally promising each man an American wife (this and other information confessed by Villa

of the boundary, killing all along the way. Seeing Villa recognizing for stand, and fearing secret forces, the Americans returned to Columbus. The count of dead Villa men finally rose to 200 or more, as they were gathered up and burned during the following days. Dead horses, saddles and arms dotted the desert along the line of retreat. Villas men almost invariably being shot in the head, demonstrating the fine shooting qualities of our men. It is believed Villa expected to steal in. massacre all soldiers and men civ iIiaus, loot the arms, ammunition anl stores. capture white men and escape south. But he was treated to heu of surprise, the greatest he ever ex- perienccd, for he apparently had over looked the fact that he was going up against Americans instead of MaXi- cans.
 Thousands of Carranzo garrison men stationed along the border at Juarez, Agua Prieta, Naco, Nogales. etc. have never yet. and are not now, mak- ing move to apprehend Villa. Am orleans conclude they are either luxe warm for Carranza and at heart Villa men, or their commanders personally fear to attack Villa Villa is a foxy and daring fighter and knows that he has psychologically "buffaloed" the Carranza men. Americans here think
The Cordova daily times., 1916-04-04

that Professor Wilson has made an other mistake in his failure to de- mand of Carranza that Villa be deliv- cred dead or alive in, say, thirty days. We don't understand why Americans should spend $5O,75 per minute and hazard our mems lives while Carranza men are setting on their soft chairs and rolling pills. We have not any assurance but that com plications will set in, and Carranza men (so-called) will rally to Villa and attock our men unexpectedly. Conf dent that our soldiers are capable of doing some high grade professional killing if confronted with treachery. Villa is retreating into Sierra Mad ras, and unless our men appreheud him soon he will be able to get into his own we'll known hiding places
 Many bandits, singly or in groups, are running freely on both sides of the boundary Following the Colum- bus attack, Deming and other border towns feared a secret assault. All American homes are under arms, and all Americans carry arms when out side of the towns. Mounted armed Mexicans have come as far as the Southern Pacific main line. Ameri- cans have been either killed, wounded or pursued on both sides of the bor- der, but Mexicans, too, have received

The Am orleans suffered no losses. The whole country around Guerrero is be- ing conbed, as it is thought that Villa is not far away. Scouting parties and detaehments of American cavalry are searching all the valleys, and hamlets, in an effort to get information con- ceEning the course travelled by Villa. So far nothing has been learned con corning his wanderings. except that one of the captured bandits stated he was hurt, and was being carried fur ther into the mountains in a coach.
