BASEMENT IS GIVEN
 HEARING AS TRAITOR
Daniel Bailey. His Friend, Also Faces Police Court England Interested in Fate of Prison CTS as We'll as Disclosures.

London, May 15.-Roger Easement, who only few years ago achieved in ternational fame for the services he rendered his government in the ex- posture of the Putumayo rubber atrocities, today faced the bar in an ordinary police court for a prelimin- ary examination to determine wheth- CT he should be held for trial on the charge of high treason against the same government in connection with the rebellion in Ireland Beside Case ment stood Daniel Julian Bailey, who faced a similar charge.
 Not in years has so much popular interest been manifested in case be- fore the courts. This Is due not only to the prominence of Basement and to speculation as to his ultimate fate, but also because it has been expected evidence would be produced which would lay bare widespread plot re- sulting in the revolt Long before the hour set for the hearing crowds began to gather outside the Bow street court, hoping to gain admit tance. There was an unexpected number of applications for seats in the little courtroom, but admission was restricted to about 100 persons, including reporters.
 Among the earliest arrivals was Sir Horace Plunkctt of the Depart ment of Agriculture in Ireland. He took a seat near the magistrate It was understood Sir Horace was mere Fly a spectator A number of rela- tives and friends of Easement, includ- ing seven handsomely gowned wom- en, also reached court at an early hour and were provided with seats we'll to the front
 When Easement was led into the court at l0.4o o'clock, Sir John Dick inson. who presided; the lawyers and the witnesses all were in their places There was 8 hush of expectancy as he entered the dock. and every face was turned in his direction. Far from ap- bearing deeply disturbed at his posi- tion. Sir Roger maintained much of his characteristic complaisance. He smiled and nodded as he saw friends in the courtroom.

The manager was notified that it was in violation of the law and must be stopped. The managed agreed to do so.

U. 5. SOLDIERS KILL
 MEXICAN BANDITS
Villa Followers Slain When They Attack Auto Detachment- Members Pershing's Expedi- tiOn in Skirmish.

Lake ltascaCe, Mex, May 14, by wireless to Columbus, N. M., May 15. Three bandits, including Julio Car denas, Villa leader, were killed to- day in a skirinish with an American detachment near Rubio ranch, 20 miles east of here.
 The Americans, 12 strong, under the command of Lieut.. George S. Patton, comprised an automobile de- tachment sent to purchase forage. The bandits fired on Lieutenant Patton and his guide after they had alghted from the machines and were ap- preaching the ranch house. The Americans deployed to prevent the escape of the snipers and Lieutenant Patton returned the fire, wounding the bandits, who fled through the rear of the house. Overtaken later, the MeXicans engaged the Americans in rifle fight in which the three Mexi- cans were killed.
 There were no American casualties. The bodies of the Mexicans were brought here and buried. Papers in their pockets revealed their identity.

MEXICAN
BORDER LINE.

AS a cotemporary observes, the
United States fronts along two
oceans and it has two boundary
lines to landward, each of which is
of such great extension that string
ing fortified defenses along either of
%hese lines is out of the question.
The Rio Grande, stream of some
pretcntiousncss, represents about
half Of the 1900 miles Of boundary
between the United States and MEX
leo. From Ell Paso westward our
southern Boundary is purely i'm,
aginary line; it is not the sixteenth
OF an inch wide.
The villages and towns along the
Mexican boundary line are often from
ten to twenty miles apart. The South
..ern Pacific Railroad parallels the
boundary over more than half the
distance, but swings away from the
line west of Ell Paso. There is a
scattering of settlements near the
boundary on both sides all the way
from Ell Paso to the Colorado River
and from the west shore Of the Col
orado to the Pacific. Where there is

Wien Napoleon BonaDarte realiz-
ed that his Egyptian expedition was
doomed to failure, he attempted to
make the French people believe that
his trip to the land Of the Pharaohs
had added much to science. The fall
ure of the Kaiser to capture Verdun
after several months of battering
ard the loss of about quarter of a
million of men causes him to look
around for something with which to
assuage the disappointment in Ger
many at his impotent attempts to
edst the French from their great
stronghold. Teutor war lords have
at times made Intellectual attempts
to quiet the stay-at-homes by request
ing them to Have patience. They
FiaVe exercised patience since last
February, but patience has long since
ceased to be virtue, and they are
now demanding substantial results
for the fearful loss of life in drives
at VeTdun.
The following dispatch from Berlin
is significant:
"While it is generally considered
that the attacking forces must be
four times superior to the defenders,
the German troops really number
less than one half the French forces
engaged, which arc not less than
100000. These figures represent half
the entire force which France still
has at her disposal for active fight
ing.
major Moraht, German military
critic, pointed out that all the. Ger
man successes on the east and west
front were gained against enemy
forces numerically superior, and that
the Austrians, for year, have held
back an Italian force twice as strong
numerically"
Germany at the beginning of the
conflict relied greatly upon the over
whelming number of men she could
put into the field. The Tcutons are
now attempting to excuse their fail
ure by alleging their inferiority in
numbers.
