Danger of an Immediate
Break Seems More Re-
mote by Carranza Act.
CRISIS STILL GRAVE
War Only Less Imminent
Until De Facto Head Re-
plies to Ultimatum.

Washington, June 29.-Danger Of an
immediate break had been relieved
last night by press dispatches saying
the prisoners had been started for the
border from Chihuahua City. Until
Carranza replies to the demand for a
statement toward the American expe-
dition in Mexico to protect the border,
however, the crisis is only less immi-
nent than it was before.
High officials of the administration
let it be known that the United States
would proceed with it's military op-
erations to adequately safeguard its
citizens and territory and would con-
tinue to pursue bandits in Mexico
whenever there was hope Of overtak-
ing them, regardless of any action
Mexican military commanders may
take.
1t was apparent about the war and
state departments today that the re-
lease of tie prisoners had made the
situation less critical. 1t had no eff
feet, however, on efforts to speed UP
the mobilization of the national guard
along the international line and to fur
nish an adequate supply of war ma
terial to meet any emergency.
1t is clearly indicated here that
President Wilson is determined, by
force, if necessary to employ the army
either alongSthe 4inevaor in Mexico in
such a way as to insure the safety OF
American lives and property.
Funston Headquarters Busy.
San Antonio, Texas, June 29.-Staff
officers and departmental chiefs at
General Funstons headquarters con-
tinued today the work of shaping the
hourly increasing army for possible
offensive movement.
Notification that Carranza had or
dered the release of American troops
captured after the Carrizal fight did
not lower the high pressure of mill
tary preparation. The opinion was
that the danger Of an open break with
Carranza's troops had not been great
ly lessened.
Trains bearing certain units OF
eastern national guardsmen were ex-
pected to cross - state line during
the udS, dLu ny hlShb II Nao DSiiS'SN
that national guardsmen enroute
would be nearing stations along the
border.
Supplies were being assembled al
Brownsville, Laredo, Eagle Pass and
other points on the border, where the
greater concentrations will be made.
Buying of horses and mules was
under uay TODAY under the first con-
tract ratified yesterday by the war de-
partment. Buyers of horses and mules
were here today with herds they had
obtained from Texas farms and
ranges.
IfYou Want to Fight, jim Army.
If you want to go to Mexico, join the
army or the national guard. That is
the advice being given to thousands
who have volunteered their services
by officers at army headquarters here
General Funston has had dozens OF
offers to raise rough rider" regi-
ments. Acceptance of such organiza-
lions would rest entirely with officials
at Washington.
Towns and cities of Texas, Arizona
and New Mexico have sent in requests
that regulars or national guardsmen
be stationed in their vicinity. The
troops, however, are to be stationed
according to viewpoint of military eX,
pediency and necessity.

fore High Tribunal of
Great Britain.
SENTENCED TO DEATH
Chief of Sim Feiners in Irish
Revolt to Pay Life for
His Crime. +

London, June %. = Sir Roger
Easement was found guilty today
of high treason. The ending of
the historic trial came shortly be-
fore { O'Clock this afternoon. The
Jury had been out less than an
hour.
T0day'S session was given over
to arguments OF counsel and the
charge 10 the jury.
sir Roger was sentenced to
death.
After Sir Roger had been sentenced,
Daniel j. Bailey, the private soldier
who had been held as his accomplice,
was discharged. After the verdict Sir
Roger began to read a very long state
ment
Sir Roger received the sentence
with utmost cOmpOsure, smiling at
friends. His statement, which oCcu-
pied a half hour, was a plea for the
right 10 be tried by Irishmen and for
Irish nationality.
SERGEANT Sullivan. the Irish barris-
ter, upon whom has rested the chief
burden of the defense of Sir Roger
Easement in his trial for high treason,
was unable TO appear in court today
Serjeant Sullivan collapsed while de
livering an impassioned speech in
court last night.
Artemus Jones, assistant counsel.
addressed the court IN behalf of Sir
Roger when it convened this morn
ing.
Makes Strong Plea.
Mr. Jones admitted that at the first
thought it seemed an outrage for Sir
Roger to go TO Germany but he insist
ed that the defendant had attempted
merely to organize an Irish brigade
for use aginst the Ulster volunteers
recruited by Sir Edward Carson. He
contended that the work Sir Roger did
in Germany was precisely the same
sort of work he carried on in Ireland
before the war
After Mr.. Jones speech, the attorney
general, Sir Frederick Smith, began
summing up. He argued that in days
before the war Sir Rogers defense
might have had some weight but ''One
circumstance not insignificant had in
tervened-the greatest military power
the world had ever seen was trying TO
destroy the British empire"

A Reasonable Return for Farmers

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: I have followed the recent milk
situation, as discussed editorially by
YOU and by contributors to your col
umns, pretty closely, and while | think
The Tribune has been fairer to all
parties concerned than most of the
New York dailies, it seems to doubt
that the farmer was justified in de-
handing a higher price for his milk
and believes that it would be neces-
sary for the milk companies to in
crease their prices 10 the consumer in
order to make a living profit. This is
shown in your editorial in this morn
ing's issue.
Most of the metropolitan dailies
have on more than one occasion ar
eued In favor OF an increase of rail-
road rates, taking the stand, as a rule,
that they should be allowed an in
crease which would give them "a rea-
sonablc return on their investment"
Most of these arguments are based on
statements OF railway officials them
selves and on figures compiled by the
railways. When the farmer argues
for a reasonable return and states
that il costs him more TO carry on his
business and that he is losing money
he is read a homily on efficiency"
and on feeding the babies and good
ness knows what else.

Old Men for War
fFrom The Boston Herald


young men for war, old men for
counsel" was long an honored maxim,
but war has ceased to respect 1t
There are not enough young men LETT
to fill the gaps in the armies. The
Young would be preferred, but what
shall be done when the war has used
them up and the end of the fighting Is
not in sight? Man power must be
maintained by any possible means
and nothing is possible but the taking
of the older men. OF course, the older
men are, as a rule, the better men for
the higher commands, being fitted by
long training and experience for that
kind of counsel which war does not
exclude but positively requires of the
leaders who plan campaigns and direct
operations. In the present war very
few of the generals can be called young
The most of the men who hold impor-
tant commands are in their sixties,
and two or more have passed the
threescore and ten. That is all right.
But If 1t is not all wrong, it is very
far wrong when an army has to re-
plenish its rank and file with men who
arc more than fifty years Of age. The
British talk Of raising their age limit
from forty-one to forty-fve, the French
have fixed theirs at forty-eight and the
Germans find it necessary to go fur
Their. This we have on the authority
of 1.-THE Tageblatt" of Berlin. which
would not make the statement unless
II were we'll informed. 1t says that an
examination of the military classes OF
1870 and 1875, consisting of men be-
tween the ages of ffty-eight and sixty
three, will be made this month in the
province of Brandenburg, of which
Berlin is the chief city, and that the
order applies TO all those who have
been previously declared unfit for mil
itary service. This is extremely sig
nificant. 1t indicates a greater ex-
haustion Of the German reserves than
has been generally known or even
estimated. The men Of from fifty
eight to sixty-three may be used for
garrison duty, but if the men up TO
ffty-seven have to go to the trenches
the German cause is surely lost.

THE U-BOAT MYSTERY
Where Do the Nantucket Submarines
Come From?
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The submarine U-53 has sud-
denly found two companions. Where
do these two additional submarines
come from! They did not come from
across the ocean. They are the
Deutschland and the Bremen. The
former has never returned "home,"
and the great festival in Bremen
and elsewhere in Germany for the
alleged safe return" of the Deutsch-
land was nothing but a fake to dupe
the Allies, the United States and the
rest Of the world.
That is the reason why the Deutsch-
land made such a very long stay here
and why her engineer had been busy
all the time making drawings and plans
for improving her statical balance"
She was merely fitted up as man-of-
war, and has been hiding around the
coast until her time came and until
she received that message which the
U-53 sent her by way of the newspaper
correspondent
1t is the same with the Bremen.
also very much doubt whether all these
ships have ever made the trip across
the Atlantic. 1t is not at all improbable
that all three Of them have never been
in Bremen or Wilhelmshaven, but that
they were built in this country and
launched in some secret place near the
New England coast, and all that fake
about crossing the Atlantic and lying
for forty-eight hours at the bottom of
the British Channel has been told TO
an overcredulous public for the pur-
pose of misguiding the world and ad-
vertising German technical ingenuity.
What has become of those mysteri-
Gus cases of dyestufs which the
Deutschland brought and which up to
this time have not yet been opened? A
thorough investigation should also be
made Of that mysterious berth made
for the submarines at New London by
German informed steamships. 1t may
then be found that this berth" has
given birth 10 the new submarine
monster. What fools these mortals be!

dangerous and more beastly than
any that has in modern history
sought to destroy democracy and
abolish all the hard-won vantage
points Of humanity and civilization.
The thing that Germany repre-
sents in the world to-day is men
ace to all that the true America
means. Were it to prevail it would,
in due course of time, destroy Amer
lean liberty as it has wrecked Bel
gian independence. Wars between
European nations do not concern
Americans, but a contest between
civilization and barbarism, between
humanity and brutality, cannot leave
any free country unconcerned.
The American boys who have
served, who have died, in France have
done something more than to give
their lives for the things they be-
lieved in. They have done something
far more considerable than to make
a partial payment on an old debt of
honor due from the United States to
France. They have contributed not
a little to reveal to their fellow coun-
trymen what the struggle in Europe
means to America. By their service
and by their deaths they have re-
minded a people, blind and deaf, 1t
would seem, to questions of honor
and of principle, of what is at stake
on the battlefields of France.
And in the larger view, these boys
will be remembered as having died
for their own country, for what their
own country has meant and should
mean in this world Wearing the
uniform of France, they not less car
ried the colors of their own country.
Whatever is best Of America they
represented, and the America they
served will not forget them. Their
memory will have an especial value
in the minds and hearts Of those to
whom this country of ours is neither
a factory nor a foundry, but the
home of men and women, sustained
bv a brave tradition and dedicated
to a noble service, the tradition OF
democracy and the service of liberty.
