CANTU EXECUTES.
Continued from page one.)

Just as the streaks of day began tc
show over the eastern horizon the mer
were stood uD against nearbywalI
and the firing squad took its place
about fifteen feet distance from the
men vino were to die.
Neither Blindfolded
Neither man was blindfolded and
both cringed before the command of
tie officers.
A brief pause during which the SEN
tence of death was read to Acero and
Beltran and the command to fire was
! given Both men fell at the first shots
and an ever widening pool of blood
gathered as their life blood ebbed
away. Then an officer stepped forward
and fired what is known as the mercy
shot. This he does by placing his
pistol at the forehead of the fallen
man and firing a shot into the brain.
Third Shct Fired.
This morning the officer fired a
mercy shot into the brains of each
man. One of them seemed to be still
able to breathe and soldier was called
who fired a third shot into the still
warm body.
Soldiers then took the bodies to
newly dug graves and buried them.
! The execution was over.
! Acero and Deltran are the first men
to be executed under the reign of
Governor Esteban Cantu. The last ex-
| ecution took place in Mexicali in 1914
when captain accused by Sub-Perfec-
to Col. Juan Lojero of treason was
found guilty and executed at the GEM
etery where the executions took place
this morning. Afterwards his body
was placed en- pile of wood and burn

Military Trial Given.
The trial of the ten mutineers ac-
cused Of revolt and of the deaths of
Captain Jose Torres and Liutenant
! Francisco CorteZ has been under prog
ress but a short time. Last week the
civil courts heard the cases and no
verdict was given. Under authority re-
ceived several days ago from Mexico
City Governor Cantu ordered mill
tary court martial. This was COM
menced yesterday morning.
Each Of the ten accused men was
allowed lawyer and some of them
had two and even three lawyers to de-
fend them.
The verdict was reached late last
evening.
1t has been generally conceded thai
some Of the men would be executed
The moral effect this would have OF
| the Mexicans is apparent. To furthe
| impress those who were thinking o
engaging in a mutiny Gov Cantu or
dered that any execution should b.
public.
II The two men executed were foun
by the court to have been the ring
leaders in the mutiny.

can feeling. 1t is still blandly wondering
why the scheme has not succeeded.
The same weakness, the naive egotism to
the view Of which all things German must
be right and must succeed, the crooked and
blind chauvinsm so carefully cultivated by
the Reptile among its own subjects at home
shows through the long list of its failures
in America Bernstorff writes bitterly when
he discovers that the subsidies to a Reptile
press which work so perfectly at home will
not work here Dernburg departs in stupe-
fed amazement when he finds that America
will not tolerate his defence of the Lusi-
tania massacre. Zimmerman offers Mexico
some of our Southwestern states. and the
Reptile laments "awkwardness." The sub
marine piracy brings America into the war
with deciding weight, and Prince Karl
merely disapproves the submarine war. be-
cause it was started without sufficient as
surance of success.
There are other correlated traits of the
Reptiles brain. 1t concocts the most gran
dose schemes seeks to start wars, control
elections, seduce France. 1t even does sue
coed in partly wrccking Italian morale It
Is mark for adventures, who, our secret
service men testify, practically swindled il
out Of millions, giving little of real value
in return. 1t fails, as Prince Karl also re-
marked, "to appreciate the points of view
of other nations In short, the Reptile
being product Of supermen, does not un-
derstand mankind
The usual Teutonic traits also show
everywhere in the Reptiles record. With
all its grandose schemes it pinched the
pennies, and there is correspondence as to
the ACCESSIBILITY of spending SIS. 1t trusted
nobody, and insisted on frequent and de-
tailed reports from every one-a single
agent here permitted $4,000 papers to fall
into American hands! 1t was, as has been
SO often remarked, naturally and naTvely
dishonest 1t was laborious to the extreme,
careful, meticulous and methodical 1t dis
regarded all obligations and duties. 1t
tried very, very hard to play safe

do is to make the United States an ally of
Germany by twist of world politics Eng
land, allied with Japan, cannot be her
friend-who else but Germany"
The plan is to start trouble in California,
depending the Hearst papers to play it
up The idea is then to be pushed by THE
illustrated Sunday Magazine whose editor
Hiram NJ. Greene, Fox says. can be in
fuenced. There are to be movie films, one
act vaudeville plays, lectures, all possible
forms of publicity, and all -Japanese.
When the public mind is thus prepared, play
the trump with serious trouble on the Paci-
&c Coast Hire thugs to start riots; get Will
lam J. Burns to control the officials of the
state; stir UP the ministers to denounce
the japanese. They would rush to do this,
Fox declares, ESPECIALLY if some outrages
against women were planted 1t would be
an easy matter for Burns to use some
young and innocent prostitutes to the det-
rimenc of the Japs.'
The records Of two other subsidized cor
respondents have been laid bare One of
these is Colonel Edward Emerson, who went
over as free lance and wrote also for the
notorious Continental Times" the Reptiles
organ on the Continent. The other was
James F. J. Archibald who gave the German
embassy here receipt for $4,000, and who
was detected by the British in trying to
smuggle through letters from Reptile agents
here, including letter from Ambassador
Dumba, of Austria Hungary, which resulted
in the ambassadors recall.
Another writer who was employed by the
Reptile, though far less for his open in
huence than for his secret sources of in
formation was Major j. j. Dickinson. The
majcr is an oldtme Washington newspaper
man, with wide and intimate acquaintance
with public officials He was engaged to
write letters, which he did under the name
of Josiah Wingate, to Vierick In these he
gave what was supposed to be inside in
formation to the attitude Of the admin
istration. on questions in which Germany

SGW Poisoning
The News

The most striking feature Of the second
phase of the Reptiles life hcrc-and it is "a
feature that will never disappear from its
work so long as there is newspaper or a
writer that can be corrupted-was the de-
filing and werping OF the sources Of infor-
nation, the poisoning OF the facts as we'll
as the editorial advice which American
public opinion is based. 1t used with the
utmost skill every secret means OF publicity
known TO it. 1t developed and expanded
every effort along this line attempted dur
ing the first phase, except that Of subsidlz-

Lieutenant General Prince Karl of Hohcn-

to The Associated Press, 'thc prince said

There spoke the Reptiles mind, So
throughout the democracy propaganda that
mind could not see that President Wilson'S
distinction between the German people and
their government was an attack on German
morale, and not expression of American
opinion. That mind missed the "animositv,"
and so it has satisfied the shadow but not
the substance, of American thought, and

Selling Out
Won Papen

Edward Lyell Fox got to Germany before
Hale did as the correspondent of the Wild
man Syndicate, apparently innocent in the
zeal, and with relations with the Hearst
papers which resulted in his working very
closely with the Hearst organization. as
well as with the German propagandists in
Berlin. lie wrote articles from Berlin
which Captain Lester characterized as pure
iakes,' a notable one being q description
OF alleged Russian atrocities, sent for the
purpose of offsetting the German atrocities
in Belgium. This was published in "The
New York American" under the papers own
copyright. He spent several months in
Germany, making two trips and being
stopped on third, and providing pure pro-
German propaganda and nothing else
Ills other activities were also numerous.
He tried to sell the British Secret Service
one batch of information he brought from
Germany. He also tried to get market tips
from Won Papen, the German military at
tache But his most notable performance
was the preparation of memorandum on
scheme to cause war between America and
Japan. This memorandum was prepared and
passed to Won Papen shortly after Foxs re-
turn from Germany. where he had several
mysterious conferences with high officials
lie told people here that at these confer
ences some secret scheme of his had been
substantially approved. He has since de-
med that there was any serious purpose be
hind the memorandum, claiming that it was
prepared by himself and Dr. Karl Armigard
Graves, former German international spy
with the hope that they could make some
money from the Reptile on it,
The memorandum is over 900 words in
length, going into considerable detail. Fox
stated the object of the plan to be che

milton and other munitions of war If car

Eyes On
Hearst

The matter was discussed extensively
with Count Won Bernstorf, the Reptiles
head at a house party in the Adrondacks
the following Christmas, according to a
New York broker. whose deposition was
submitted. Only parts Of the deposition
were published, but these outline very sue
clnctly the Reptiles scheme. They follow:
Q.-Tell us just what was said on that
(the German view being put before the
public in the papcrs) as we'll as you can
rocolect it,
Ave talking Of the New York
papers, and l made the remark that most
Of our papers here were very high-minded.
For instance, if you wanted to put out a
security of new corporation which was
not tried out, and you should give "The New
York Sun" an advertisement conditionally
upon there being a news item in their finan-
cial column, which is worth more than any
advertisement, they wouldn't do it without
a thorough investigation, and they would
notify you that if their advertisement de-
pended on that you couldn't get it in. and

IN New York City that believed could be

Q.-Had you mentioned "The American"

that he expected to see Hearst. and whom

All for
$40 Per

The curious thing about the Wingate
letters IS this" testified Captain Lester
They give accurate information of happen
lngs in Cabinet and government circles
Where this information came from I do not
know, but the letters have all been checked
with subsequent events, and it is quite
obvious that in certain cases information
was obtained from some source or other. He
had backdoor entrance somewhere"
All this the Reptile got for $40 week.
In addition to these subsidized Americans,
the Reptile used two other means of influ-
encing American news, besides the blame
less one of being nice to American CORE
spondents and newspaper men in general.
The first of these was to send over from
Germany men who seemed to be CORE
spondents of German newspapers, but we're
really agents of the government These
men interviewed American officials, wrote
for American papers and magazines when
possible, and sent home news dispatches
which were sometimes little different from
official reports.
The other means was by the control of
the sources of news in Germany, and the
doctoring of news sent from there. It con-
trolled the semi official Wolff Bureau. an
organization something like The Associated
Press III this country, except that it spoke
for the government. 1t controlled also the
Overseas News Agency, whose wireless dis
patches for long time formed one of the
chief sources in America of news as to ham
pcn1ngs IN Germany. This bureau was not
semi-offcal; the Reptile used it to dis
seminate lies for which it did not want to
stand sponsor
There were other organs for putting out
keptlllan news. The War Department Press
bureau issued Foreign News Sheet" A
"Bulietn' was sent out from the FOREIGN
Office. The War Department also got out =
War Chronicle" published in many Ian
guages for the benefit of the foreign cor
respondents IN Berlin. There was a supnos
edly private service, Reptile owned, known
as tho "Trans-ocean Correspondence. There
was also the political Correspondspco &c
Central Europe" published in many Ian.
guages. German newspapers notably thc
Berlh "Iagcblatt' and the "Vossischezei-
tung, also sent correspondence and SIM.
