 GERMANY TRIED
 FOR TREACHERY


 AMSTERDAM, May 9.-Dispatches received today from Leipsic say that twelve Dresden independent socialists are to be tried in the imperial court at the former place upon charge of high treason.

 They were arrested at the time the leaflets were distributed and have been held in close confinement since that time. Considerable senti. Dent has been aroused among the 5ocialists over the harsh treatment which has been handed out to them It is believed that the government will sentence them to death as a warning to others not to undertake similar propaganda work.

 MAY BE CLOSED
 BY CHANCELLOR

AMSTERDAM. May 9.-A dispatch from the Cologne Gazette today de- clares that the German government is preparing to force the Prussian diet to accept the proposed fran chise reform measure To this end it is stated that Chancellor Count von Hertling will dissolve the Prus- sian chamber if the reform bill fails to pass after it's third reading.
 The government is evidently alarm ed over the sentiment against the measure which has shown up in the body. It was reported yesterday that the chancellor had been sum- moned to confer with the kaiser re- garding the situation, and it is be- lieved that the dissolution of the diet was agreed upon at this con ference.
 Unless the bill passes, it is fore. cast that serious strikes and other demonstrations will be staged through out the empire by the social demo- crats as protest against the atti- tude of the Prussian junkers who are in control of the diet. The Ger man government wishes 10 avoid these demonstrations at almost any cost.

ANNOUNCEMENT WAR SECRETARY
 CAUSE OF TALK

WASHINGTON, D. C., May g. The announcement made yesterday by Secretary Baker that more than 500,000 American troops are now in France has caused wide discussion in both houses of congress. There is much speculation rife as to the ex- act number of Americans actually in the fighting. many believing that the secretary's announcement is an indi- cation that America has almost half a million men on the line.
 The secretary declared he could not now, and possibly not in the i'm mediate future, reveal the number of Americans in France. but that his prediction of a few months ago that the United States would have 500.000 men in France early this year has been more than fulfilled, For military reasons he stated that he was unable to make public the size of the force now in France.

 what the Russians did in the war with Japan, send our troops abroad only in sufficient numbers to have them de- feated at the point of disembaska- 2 tion Thus can America be defeated without even a shot being fired upon American Soil. If this report of sapa- rate peace is true, the only thing we
