Eti PASO, Tex. June 29. By releasing
he 23 Arnerlco,h troopers' captured at Car
riiat. General Carranza probably has started
a wave of antagonism which today threat
ens to sweep over atl Mexico and cause
the overthrow of tho de facto government.
tinder .he orders of General Carranza
the 18 Americans captured during the Car
ranza attack on two troops of the 10th
Cavalry and the five others picked up after
the battle, with their arms and accoutre
ments, are to be delivered to Oeneral George
Bell at the American end of tho Interna
tional bridge here today.
The men, under heavy guard, left Chihua
hua yesterday, their arms, saddles and
clothing having been returned them. The
trip to the border Is being mado during
the night, so as to prevent the train being
attacked In an effort to kill the Americans.
The announcement of tho Carranza order
iras made from the commandancla in
Juarez, It said that a message had been
transmitted over tho Mexican telegraph
which stated that the 23 negroes of the 10th
Cavalry, with Lem H. SDlllsbury. a Mor
mon Ecout, had been placed on a Mexican
Central train bound for Juarez.
The telegram conveying this news was
addressed to General George Bell, Jr., com
mander of the, El Paso base. It was signed
by General Jacinto Trevlno, commander of
tho Mexican military district of the north
east, whose headquarters are at Chihuahua
City.
General Bell, la keeping with his custom
of maintaining close secrecy regarding all
military developments, refused to say
Whether ha had received the message. Ho
said that all announcements must come
from General Funston at San Antonio.
Qn receipt-of word that Goneral Funston
had given out tho contents of the messago
he said no. escort would be sent to meet
the prisoners In the morning, but an officer
would be delegated to tako command of
them and lead them to Port Bliss.
MEXICANS ANGERED.
Angry Mexicans today said the prisoners
might never reach the border. Threats to
attack the train carrying them are said to
have been made In Juarez. It Is known
that Incensed Vllllstas in Juarez are
spreading the news' that Carranza has
yielded to tho American demand Into other
portions of northern Mexico in an effort to
arouse the poople against Carranza.
Announcement that the Americans would
be released was accepted by tho bettor
class of Mexicans on the border as the
ttirnlng point In the Mexican-American
crisis. They believe the action will be fol
lowed by arbitration, which will restore
harmony between tho two countries. This
Is the attitude of Mexicans friendly to the
Carranza, government. -
The old Ctentiftco element on the border,
which (has been hoping for war or inter
Ventlon as the only means by which they
, could return to their properties In Mexico.
Is, disappointed, but hopes the Carranza
backdown will start a revolt in Mexico that
win sweep him from power. Out of the
Chaos, that BUCh A revolt. XVBllM 'paimn fh.n,
possibly might be a chanco of CientWco
rnle to be restored.
Whether tho Carranza government will
disavow the action; of Qeneral Trevlno in
ordering the attack- upon the two troops of
the 10th. Cavalry at Carrlzal is still to be
determined.
.iAmif'Jc"rroy men bafievo the disavow,
r-.! "I0. "'cans generally think
?ilta' WJ ! refU3a th0 disavowal and will
?feat "bltratlon" to which the United
States will consent rather thnn go to war.
"When It becomes generally known in
SSS'.ittatf .Ameri" Prisoners have

Leader Found Guilty of At
tempted Treason In De
manding Peaco
BERLIN", June 2D.
A demonstration In faor of Dr. Karl
'Llebknecht, the Socialist leader, who was
sentenced to 30 months In prison for at
tempted high treason, was held here today
despite pollco precautions. In addition to
his sentence of penal servitude Doctor Lleb
knecht was dismissed from the army.
Although the trial before a court-martial
was held In secret, It was learned that part
of the charge was based upon a manifesto
which Llcbknecht circulated and which was
suppressed by the Government. This mani
festo said in part:
Poverty and misery, need and starva
tion aro ruling n Germany. Belgium,
Poland and Scrvla, whose blood tho
vampire of Imperialism is sucking, re
semblo 'Vast cemeteries. The entire
world, the much-praised European civ
ilization, are falling Into ruins through
tho anarchy which has been let loose
by tho world war.
Those who profit from tho war want
war with tho United States. Then,
perhaps they may order us to aim
lethal weapons against new groups of
brethren, ngalnst our fellow workors In
the United States and fight America,
too.
Consider welt this fact: As long as
tho German peoplo do not arise and
force peaco through their own will, tho
assassination of the peoplo will not
stop. Lot thousands of voices shout:
"Down with the shameless extermina
tion of nations I" "Down with those re
sponsible for these crimes I"
Our enemy is not tho English, French
nor Russian people, but tho great Ger
man landed proprietors, tho German
capitalists and their executive commit
tee. Forward, et us fight the Govern
ment, let us light these mortal enemies
of all freedom. Let us fight for every
thing which means the future and the
triumph of the working classes, tho fu
ture of humanity and civilization I

formal avowal of deliberately hostlo

pose to attack them without pro cation

Army officers today felt that while an
actual clash has been averted temporarily,
the situation between the United States and
Mexico continues to be strained until Gen
eral Carranza definitely declares his atti
tude toward American troops In Mexico.
The War Department has been asked by
General Funston to expedite the transfer
of the regular army recruits from Eastern
recruiting stations. These men nre needed
for the newly formed regiments and to fill
the gaps in old regiments caused by the
transfer of men to the new units.
Several routine reports were received
from General Pershing last night, but
nothing to Indicate a new clash with Car

lato yesterday.
Information was received here through

EL PASO. Tex, June 29. The Carrlzal
prisoners did not arrive at Juarez at 10
o'clock mountain time (12 noon), as previ
ously promised by the de facto government
officials, and It was stated that a delay
must have been experienced en route from
Chihuahua.
General Gonzales, Juarez commandant,
stated the prisoners would undoubtedly ar
rive by 11:15.
On the train, according to official Mexican
dispatches from Mexico City and Chihua
hua City, were the 23 American soldiers
ordered released from a Mexican prison In
compliance with a demand from the United
States Government
They wero the troopers of the 10th Cav.
airy taken In the batle at Carrlzal, ac
companied by Lemuel Spltsbury, the scout'
and Interpreter. Mexican officials In Juarez
announced that the Americans were travel
Ing under the protection of an armed guard,
and that they would be delivered to General
George Bell, Jr.. American commander at
El Paso,
No greater surprise has ever stirred the
border than the announcement by the Mexi
cans that General Carranza had decided to
free the American soldiers. This came at a
moment when both General Bell and Gen
eral Pershing, leader of the American puni
tive expedition sent to capture Francisco
Villa, were prepared to advance to close In
on several thousand Carranslsta troops con.
eentrated In the region of Villa Ahumada.
The last day of June waa to have been
the last day of grace for the Mexicans. By
that time, unless Carranza yielded, the
troops at El Paso were to advance Into
Juarez, under cover of a bombardment of
necessary, and pave the way for an advance
southward.
Whether release of tha American Prison
era would long delay warfare was a qus
tlon that puzzled student of the Mexican
situation, today Only developments of the
next few hour can. tall. The course fol
lowed at Mexico City bu been a baffling
on. Government official announced that
Carranza would reject all mediation prof

inating baseball and helping to stnrt Amer
ican literature are particular claims to fame
on which Cooporstown based a genoral cele
bration which brought back from distant
towns and cities men prominent In many
branches of business, professional nnd
political life as guests at the opening of the
now Delaware and Hudson Railroad station.
L. F. Loreo, president of tho road, paid a
high tribute to tho valuo of athletics a3 a
developer of the kind of men needed In ex
ecu tho lines .
"Training to produce and cultivate capa
city for rapid decision In a difficult crisis
is afforded In war," said Mr. Loreo, "also
In soma of the professions and In the great
hazardous employments of mining and
transportation, but those are tho occupa
tions of adults It Is a singular and fortunate-
thing that similar opportunities are
offered to youth in the sports In which they
engage. And in none more conspicuously
than In baseball Tho nation nnd the rail
roads and nil other enterprises which de
pend upon men of action for their motlvo
power owe a great debt of gratitude to Gen
eral Abner Doubleday, a graduate of West
Point and nfterward prominent In tho Civil
War, who ns a youth laid out the first base
ball diamond and arranged In enduring
method the positions of the plavers. And It
owes much nlso td the groups "of men w'ho
hava fostered theso Intervening years, per
fecting Its details and keeping It free from
taint."
Ex Governor Tener, of Pennsylvania,
president of the National League of Base
ball Clubs, said extensive Investigation had
established the right of Cooperstown to tho
honor of organized baseball
"Hero it had ltB birth.'' he said, "and
It was originated by Doubleday, a native
ton of Cooperstown. Doubleday laid out
tho first baseball diamond over there; he
fixed tho dimensions at 30 yards Bfiuare,
and assigned the stateglcal position of the
various players. That was in 1839. Sinco
then there have been unlimited changes In
the rules nnd methods of the game, but It
can bo said that the original strategical
feature which this West Point graduate In
corporated Into tho game has never been
disturbed or Improved upon."
Dr John H. Flnley, New York, State
Commissioner of Education, delivered on

It was understood that the submarine
which Is the biggest ever built, carried about
1,000 plecos ot mail.
For some time there have been reports
that Germany intended establishing a
marine service between that country and
the United States, but It was presumed that
the underwater boats would put Into this
port. f
Shipping circles attributed news of the

To make the trip to Newport News the
submarine must pass a strong flotilla of
British warships, which have been vigilant

of a year.
It was presumed that the underwater

that General Gomez was only trying to
comply vvlth hli orders from Ijls superior
and would 'not really attack.
"General Gomez had retired to his men,
who had lined up on the outside of tho
town, when Captain Boyd gave the ortfor
to advance. Shortly aftor the firing com
menced, and our men started to drop, Cap
tain Boyd and Lieutenant Adair were killed
nnd Captain Morey was wounded in the
Bhoulder, but I think he got away.
"Tho 10 men who were holding our
horses fled with the lot and we were sur
rounded and hnd to surrender., I saw the
dead bodies of Boyd and Adair, also the
bodies of 12 negroes, although there might
have been more. I do not know how many
Mexicans were killed besides General
Gomez.
GOMEZ WAS COURTEOUS.
"I consider that the entire fault of the
fight belongs to the Americans, ns General
Gomes was very courteous In his Insist
ence that they retire and frequently pointed
out that he must be loyal to his supe
rior's orders and Are on them If they per
sisted to advance. But, as I said before,
Captain Boyd seemed to think they were
only bluffing and seemed to think he oould
force a passage In any case,
' "I have been trying to get away from
my employment for -.some time, because I
only accepted work from. Oeneral Pershing
to help catch Villa, If possible, and as soon
as I saw that the Americans were likely
to cause war with Mexico I tried repeatedly
to get away, because I have many more
Mexican friends than American ones.' But
General Pershing would not let me go and
I was afraid to try to escape and return
to my people's ranch near Casas Grandes
through fear that they might punish me.
