Forces Are So Placed
as to Safeguard Border
Towns and Form Wall
By associated Press

Washington, d. c.. April 24.-Ad-
ministration officials to-day looked 10
General Funston to carry out plans for
redisposition OF the American troops
in Mexico. The plans approved by
President Wilson and Secretary Baker
were the outgrowth of conferences be-
tween General Funston and General
Scott, who went to San Antonio as
Secretary's Bakers personal repre-
sentative.
1t is understood the American forces
will be so placed as to safeguard
American border towns by virtually
doing police duty in the territory i'm
mediately south of the border where
CaFranza has been unable to prevent
brigandage. The troops would form a
wall against which the soldiers of the
de facto government could drive the
bandits from the south.
Redisposition gives the State De-
partment the opportunity to make
counter proposals to CarranZa, who
asked for a withdrawal of the Ameri-
can soldiers. The department can now
urge CarranZa to show greater CO.
operation as n means to secure the
early withdrawal.

EXPECT INSANITY
TO BE PLEA OF
MRS. IDA ROGERS
Husband Appears as Chief
Counsel For Woman Who
Killed Her Babies
BY Associated Press

New York April "a. - Temporary
insanity is expected to be the defense
plea of Mrs. Ida Sniffen Rogers, in her
trial begun to-day for the murder of
her two children. December 29. 1914.
The case is notable because of the
public sympathy which has been eN-
pressed for Mrs. Rogers.
Prior to the murders Mrs. Rogers,
who was then known as Mrs. Ida Sniff
fen Walters, lived in the Bronx, as the
wife of Lorlys Elton Rogers, a lawyer.
the father of her two children, but to
whom she was not then married. Rog-
ers had married Miss Caroline Gid
dings, the sister of a professor at Col
umbia University, but divided his time
between her more pretentious home
and the Bronx apartment.
POisons Children and Self
Despairing of ever being able to
marry Rogers. Mrs. Walters has ad-
mitted she administered poison to her
2-year-old boy. John. and to Lorida, a
girl of s months. and TO herself. The
children died but Mrs. Walters recov-
cred.
After her arrest Rogers admitted his
double life and publicly came to the
support of the woman. Mrs. Caroline
Giddings Rogers obtained n divorce
and Rogers in July last married Mrs.
Walters. A third child has since been
born to them.
A notable feature of the case is that
Mr.. Rogers appears as the chief coun-
sci for his wife.
Prospective jurors we're questioned by
both sides as to whether they would be
influenced by a plea of insanity. The
jury was completed within a few
hours.

BILE purpose of the redisposition of the
troops General Funston has been au-
thorized to make. Secretary Baker
made it clear to-day. however, that
General Funston had been given full
discretion and that he was not advised
specificall of the steps to be
taken. The greater part of General
Pershings force is now near Casas
Grandes.
Army officers pointed out that the
retirement suggested would cut the
communication lines to one hundred
miles from the present border base.
The shorter line could he maintained
with ease, they said, regardless of the
use of railroads. of weather conditions
or of the attitude of Carranza military
commanders. The American forces
would then be able to take care of
themselves without undue risk, what
ever the developments in Mexico.
They would also be able to defend
border towns.
CarranZa to Demonstrate
If General Funston's purpose is to
Casas Grandes. a strip of territory
800 miles long would be relinquished
as the present most advanced Ameri-
can post is near Parral. 400 miles
south of the border. 1t is in this ter
ritory that General Carranza would be
required to demonstrate his ability to
secure complete control. to stamp out
brigandage and, If possible. to capture
or kill Villa before a complete with
drawal from llexico would be ordered.

Paris Believes Wilson
Will Not Bulge From
Position He Has Taken

Paris, April "a. - The American
situation absorbs the press to the eX-
clusion of other topics and Secretary
Lansing's note either teXtualy or in
copius extracts appears in the most
prominent place. All the morning
papers in their comments on the note
generally express the belief that Ger
many will try again to play for time,
but that President Wilson, being pro-
verbally a man slow in anger, will
not bulge an inch from the position
he has taken.
The German government has cir
culated among neutral nations a semi
official note which commits it to moth
ing" says the Matin. I'VE learn. that
the Berlin press insists on the serious
ness of the situation and that it is
hoped a solution will be reached
compatible at once with national dig
nity,with the rights of neutrals and the
principles of international law and not
unfavorable to the vital interests of
Germany.
THAT is the whole program and we
are curious to see the literary produc-
tion which will answer to such varied
requirements"
