New York.-Five workmen" were

lows:
THE explosion at our Forcite, n. j.,
plant was in what is known as the mix

LIFE SENTENCE FOR WOMAN
In Irish Rebellion, Has Sentence
COMMITTED From Death.

Dublin.-Countess Georgiana Mar.
kievcz, one of the prominent figures in
the Irish revolt, was sentenced to
death after her trial by court martial.
but the sentence has been committed
to penal servitude for life, it has been
officially announced. The death SEN
tence upon Henry O'Hanrahan vas
also commuted TO a life term.
Death sentences imposed upon
George and John Plunkett, brothers of
Joseph Plunkett, executed last week.
have been commuted to 10 years penal
servitude.
No official figures have been issued
on the deaths of civilians in the recent
revolt, but 160 already have been ac-
counted for. The list is still incom-
plete because it is known that many
of the dead have not been registered
in any place open to public inspection

LINER CYMRIC TORPEDOED
London Report Says White Star Boat
Struck BY German Torpedo-No
Passengers Aboard.

London.-The $4,000 ton White Star
liner Cymric which for some time has
been engaged in freight service has
been torpedoed by a German subma-
rine according to advices received
here. One report says that the Gym
ric was attacked in the Atlantic and
the information of the White Star
company at Liverpool is that the
steamer was torpedoed.
The Cymric left New York April 20
with an enormous cargo of war NUM-
tion.- AS she usually makes the voy-
age from New York to Liverpool in
10 days ashe was therefore within q
day or two of her destination. 1t is
considered probable in the absence Of
definite details that the disaster to
the Cymric occurred off the west coast
OF Ireland but whether on the north
erly or southerly route cannot be now
stated.
The crew aboard numbered about
100 men but the steamer carried no
passengers.

Fay:
According to your testimony, you
committed a grave crime against Ger
many by deserving your post and u
try, where you were engaged in law
full warfare, to come mere, where you
have committed still graver crimes
against this nation for the purpose of
helping Germany in The war. Alto
gether too many things have been
happening in this country since the
war commenced. This court is going
to convince you and thoroughly warn
others that this country is not a proper
place in which to carry on the war
and that our laws are still binding,
notwithstanding the var in Germany"

three were convicted three other de-
PENDANTS are to be tried-Dr. Herbert

French Get One at Soloniki, English

counts For Third.

London.-Due to French and Eng.
fish guns and a storm Germany has
lost three Zeppelins in two days.
The first Zeppelin was destroyed
when it was blown ashore on May 8
on the Norwegian coast, a second was
brought down off the ~Schleswig coast
by a British light cruiser squadron
and the third was a victim Of French
warshfp guns at Saloniki.
There was great jubilation in Sa.
loniki over the destruction Of the raid
ing Zeppelin, says a dispatch from that
place. Saloniki has been for a long
time in nightly terror Of raids. De.
scribing the end Of the raider the dis
patch says:
"The populace was awakened at 2
o'clock Friday morning. Searchlights
in the harbor soon caught in the in
truder, which was directly over the
town, and a hurricane Of shells was
thrown at it.
THE Zeppelin seemed to lose its
bearings and turned toward the sea,
presenting a magnificent b~roadside.
One shell, which burst close to its
tail, caused the Zeppelin to dip and
drop lower. 1t then faded from sight.

vapor.
Nothing more was heard for a half
hour, when two loud reports, followed
by a great flare lasting several Sec
onds, betrayed the fact that the air
ship had met Its fate close to the es-
tuary of the Vardar river"

MILITIA ORDERED
TO The BORDER
TEXAS, NEW MEXICO AND ARI-
IONA TROOPS CALLED FOR
IMMMEDIArE SERVICE.
MORE REGULARS MOVED
Practically Every Soldier In United
States Is Now Along Mexican
Line-Coast Artiilerymen
Are Also Sent.

Washington.-Every available sol
der of the mobile army of the United
States is either at the Mexican Dor

pursuit of Mexican bandits or en-
route to the border. following Presi

ing out the militia of Texas, New Mex
leo and Arizona for border patrol duty
and the dispatching of three more reg
iments of regulars and parts of anoth-
er regiment from interior posts to the
Mexican line.
President Wilson's action, which,
through a statement issued by Secre-
tary Baker, he explained was for the
purpose of more amply protecting the
United States from recurrence of ban
dit raids. came after a conference he
had with Secretary Baker, and was in
compliance with a joint report from
Gems. Scott Scott and Funston at Ell
Paso, stating that more troops we're
urgently needed.
The action taken sends to the Dor
der approximately 5000 additional
troops. Every infantryman in the
United SEtates regular ranks is thus
in service against Mexican bandits,
while all cavalry in the United States.
with the exception of five troops, is
now being used on the border or over
the line. The remainder of the army
is either on foreign service or in
Alaska.
Behind the orders was the pparen
fntimatiOn that Washington was pre-
pared to similarly employ the entire
available strength of the national
guard of all states If it became neces-
sary.
Besides the militia, Secretary Baker
issued an order calling out ten COM
companies of coast artillery stationed
at gulf and Atlantic ports to San
Antonio, Texas, to serve as infantry
with the border patrol.
The points from which artillery
companies were ordered to the border
include Galveston, New Orleans, Pen
sacola, Savannah, Charleston and the
Cape Fear River Station.
Secretary Baker announced the de-
cision to draw upon the coast artil-
lery, virtually the only available reg
nlar troops left north of the border,
after a conference at the War De-
partment.

Villa commander, who led the attack
upon Columbus, N. NJ, and who, after
the recent battle with Americans at
Santa Tomas on April %, went east
with the purpose Of aligning Carranza
soldiers for a mother border attack.
While military events were develop.
ing with such rapidity, the conference
over the cooperation Of American and
Mexican soldiers in Mexico, which had
been expected to reach a elimination,

AGREEMENT ON ARMY BILL
Measure viii Be Ready for President
Soon-WiH Increase Standing
Force to $4,000.

Observation-Disclosures on the
army reorganization bill is now in
sight. Conferees of the senate and
house expect to reach a compromise
so that the first of the big defense
measures may be on tho presidents
desk in a very few days.
That the senate conferees would
have to surrender the volunteer army
reserve of 261. 900 men which the
house so strongly repudiated was ad-
mitted by senate leaders. but they
hope to strengthen the provisions of
the house bill authorizing instruction
camps for thousands of citizens.
1t is predicted that the conferees
would agree on a regular standing
with a peace strength of 1850
or 1S0, 900 men, with the senate ex-
pansive organization system, which
would make possible recruiting to a
strength of 10000 in time of need.
The conferees also are expected to
agree to the main features Of the
house bill regarding the reorganiza-
ton and liberalization of the national
guard, thus providing for a defense
reserve Of approximately 100000 men.
The house amendment for a nitrate
plant probably will be accepted. I'm
der it $40, 900, 900 would be appropriate
ed for a plant to be operated exclu-
sively by the government. Agreee-
ment on minor features of the bill
is expected without much delay.

Germans are installed at the foot OF

the troops Of the. crown prince has
been prevented by French artillery
