PROTESTS BY MEXICAN
 AMBAssADoR-DEsIGN
Against Alleged Actions of Pershins's
 Men Toward Mexicans.


 Washington June 2s.-S Secretary Lansing had not studied today the trio of communications submitted to the state department within the last "A hours by Eliseo Areedondo, Mex isan ambassador designate. They protest against the alleged actions of a large column of General .Pershing's s men toward Mexican citizens, against the arrest of other Mexicans in the United States and against the general embargo, effected without proclama- tion, stopping virtually all shipments to Mexico.
 The protests are being treated as routine matters in the state depart ment. Two of them, relating to al- legged improper treatment of Mexican citizens, require reports either from army officers or from federal civil au- thorities in California and Arizona, be- fore any answer can be made.
 The protest dealing with the em- bargo situation probably could be quickly disposed of. In it's note last Sunday, the Washington government informed General Carranza that ii construed as deliberately hostile his orders to General Trevino to limit, by force. the operations of General Per shing's men. A formal repudiation o1 this attitude has been required of the de facto government. If any reply were made to MT. Arredondo pendfns the receipt of some reply to that de nand, undoubtedly it would be pointed out that the United States government | is not disposed to furnish supplies tC a potential enemy.

He was told to come to New York and report to Won Papen.

0r. Karl Liebknicht Dismissed From
 Army For Insubordination.

 The court adopted the view that pr. Liebknecht was guided by poli- tical fanaticism and not by unpatriotic feeling. and therefore imposed the lowest penalty on him. pr. Lieh- knecht is entitled to appeal from the sentence. The charge against pr. Liebknecht was attempted treason during war time and resistance of the authorities.
 The trial was held behind closed doors. When the court martial con- vened there was large attendance of persons interested in the case but the room was almost immediately cleared while the court considered a motion made by the prosecutor to ex- clude the public during the entire trial. fin the interest of public se- curity."

SENSATIONAL INCIDENT IN
 TRIAL OF SIR ROGER BASEMENT
Attorney Collapsed in the Midst of an
 Impassioned Plea.

London, June 2S. 525 D. m.-A day filled with sensational incidents at the trial of Sir Roger Easement for trea- son was brought to sudden and dra- matic close late this afternoon when Sergeant Sullivan, Sir Rogers leading attorney, collapsed in the midst of an impassioned summing up.
 MT. Sullivan, who himself is an Irish man, was painting a picture of the wrongs he declared were suffered by Ireland and maintaining that the pris- oner had committed no treason when he attempted to raise an Irish brigade in Germany for the purpose of pro- tecting the rights of the people of Ireland against unlawful tyranny"
 It was during one of his most heat ed outbursts that the speaker sud- denly paused. swayed heavily against the bench and then collapsed into a seat.
 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 in- terrupting the attorney at several oth- CT points in his speech. MT. Sulli- van apologized and proceeded, but the strain under which he was laboring proved too much for him.
 It is expected that the summing ur will be concluded tomorrow and the case reach the jury before night.

DEARTH OF BORDER NEWS
 AT WAR DEPARTMENT
Almost swamped by Detail Work for
 Transporting Guardsmen.

Washington, June 2S.-There was a dearth of border advices at the war de- jartment today. Nothing was received relating to any incident which might be the basis for charges contained in MT. Arredondo's note that American troops has mistreated large number of American citizens. The note will be submitted to General Funston so that a report from General Pershing may be obtained.
 The department was almost swamp ed, however, by the accommodating de- tailed work of getting 100000 guards men to the border in the shortest pos sible time. Reports to the quaterr- master general showed that the rail- roads were meeting the unusual strain upon their facilities in highly satis- factory manner. Troop, supply and trains are rushing southward over every available line. New trains are starting every hour. A flood of rail- road equipment is converging on the border distribution points. Traffic ex- perts of all lines involved are toiline night and day with army officials to see that no serious delay occurs.
