NEW CAMP Site
RENE:WS REPORT
OF WITHDRAWAL

Ell PASO, July 17.-Reports that
General Pershing and his entire puni-
tive expedition would be out of Mexico
within 80 days, were revived today
with the announcement that construc-
ton of a huge base camp had been
started at Deming, N. NJ, 35 miles
north of Columbus.
Army officers in discussing the new
camp openly intimated their belief
that it presaged a return of the Per-
shing expedition to United States soil.
The official explanation of the new
camp site is that it is to be for militia
sent to the border.
1t is understood that the camp is
to have accommodation for $4,000. A
major who is an expert on camp loca-
tions and construction has been placed
in charge of the work and is assisted
by more than a regiment of men in
laying out the site.

five known dead and thirty to fifty
persons missing. the flood situation IN
North Carolina, South Carolina and
Virginia, caused by torrential rains,
became worse today Scores OF FAC
tories were unable to open their doors,
and early estimates were that fully
10000 workers have been made idle.
The property damage at first estl-
mated at S10O00,000 increased hourly
today as the rising waters carried
away building after building that had

feared that the total damage will go

1REvINO CAUSES
DELAY IN PACT
WITH MEXICANS

WASHINGTON, July 17.-Postpone-
ment of the pending direct negotia-
tions" between the United States and
the de facto government of Mexico to-
day appeared almost inevitable.
Officials admitted that if the un-
official reports of the increasing
bandit activities along and near the
border are confirmed, it would be i'm
possible to discuss the withdrawal of
American troops at this time
Another reason given for the sug-
gested postponement is the reported
detection Of General Trevino. He is
in command of the main Carranzista
army in northern Mexico Many de-
mails from Mexican embassy have met
every suggestion that this leader has
revolted against the Carranza rule.
Rumors persist here, however, that
Trevino has renounced Carranza, and
these reports have reached the war
and state department Verification of
them will make it almost certain that
the preliminary arrangements for the
postponed direct negotiations will be
dropped, at least temporarily.

LAWYERS ARGUE
APPEAL ISSUE
FOR EASEMENT

LONDON, July 17.-Arguments in
the appeal of Sir Roger Easement
from his conviction on the charge of
high treason were delivered before
five judges in the court of criminal
appeals today. The chief points made
by Alexander Sullivan, X. c., chief OF
counsel for Easement were:
Whether the matter described
in the charge against Easement was
an offense within the statute under
which the indictment was drawn.
2.-Whether the definition of the Of
tense of "adhering to the Kings
enemies" as given by Baron Reading,
the lord chief justice, in his charge
to the jury, was an accurate or de-
fective definition.
The arguments were heard by JUS
tees Darling, Bray, Scrutton, Law
renee and Atkin.
