UEBKNECHT SENTENCED

BERLIN, June 29.—Dr. Karl Liebknecht, the socialist leader, was sentenced to thirty months' penal servitude and dismissal from the army for attempted high. treason, gross insubordination and -resistance to the authorities. ......

The court decided that' Dr. Liebknecht was guided by political fanaticism and not by unpatriotic feeling, and therefore imposed the lowest penalty on him. Dr. Liebknecht is entitled to appeal from the sentence. Dr. Liebknecht's conviction automatically disbars him as a lawyer and makes him ineligible to hold public office. It does not, however, affect his position as a member of the Prussian diet and the reichstag since these offices are held as the result of election by the voters and* not by government appointment.

protect the border, however, the crisis ia only less imminent than it was before.

Officials of the administration let it be known that the United States would proceed with its military operations to adequately safeguard its citizens and territory and would continue to pursue bandits in Mexico whenever there was hope of taking them, regardless of any action Mexican military commanders may take.

Even should the Mexican reply disclaim any hostile intention, and withdraw orders to Carranza military commanders offensive to the United States, the border patrol would' be maintained at the strength now contemplated while any danger from bandits continued.

To free itself from the menace of an army mobilized on its northern frontier, the. Mexican government must comply also with tr.e demands that it police adequately its border states and establish such firm military control there that raiding into the United States is improbable and the assembly of any large group of bandits impossible.

While such control is lacking it is clearly indicated here thai. President Wilson is determined by force, if nec-. essary, to employ the armj either along the line or in Mexico In such a way as to Insure the cafety of American lives and property along the border.

CROWDS AWAIT ARRIVAL.

Prior to the arrival of the train there were' few soldiers iij Juarez, although civilian guards were every where in the city.

Mexican officials expressed, pleasure when told the turn affairs had taken, asserting that General Carranza's action in releasing the American cavalrymen indicated he did- not v/ant war.

While it was expected the released Americans would have little to tell of the Carrlzal fight that had not been related by other survivors, interest was shown in the statement it was hoped could be secured from Lem Spillsbury, the Mormon scout captured during the fight, who is expected ..to be with the troops.

Pending the arrival and transfer of the prisoners to the American side, traffic between Juarez and El Paso was stopped and other steps were taken to prevent any disorder. 1 Shortly before 8 o'clock an eScort for the prisoners consisting of 28 motorcycles, manned by a detachment of the 20th Infantry and a provost guard, arrived at the American end of the bridge. The throng that gathered on the American side was composed largely of Mexicans. Several hundred

Mexicans also stationed themselves across the Rio Grande.

TERRE HA.UTE TRIBUNE,

Gather At International Bridge Greet Released Troopers. EL PASO, Tex., June 29.—Their interest whetted biy the international aspect of the occasion, border residents gathered at the international bridge early today to await the arrival of the twenty-three American troopera captured at Cairrlzal on June 21 and released by General Carranza upon the peremptory demand of President Wilson.

Those who assembled early were prepared to wait indefinitely, even if arrival of the special train bringing the prisoners over the Mexican Central is delayed by the condition of the road. Moving picture men had cameras planted %t favorable points, but none except newspapermen were permitted to cross the bridge to witness the arrival of the troopers at Juarez.

General Frahcisco Gonzales, commandant at Juarez, and Andreas Garcia, Mexican consul in El Paso, last night completed preparations for turning over the prisoners to the American military, authorities*. General George Bell, Jr., provided ambulances to transport the troopers to Fort Bliss, and one of his aides was at hand with a receipt for the men to be given to the commander of the de facto troops who accompanied the prisoners' special from chihuahua City, to prevent possible demonstrations by th© people.

The mustering in of the guardsmen continued today and it was believed that the entire guard would be musterefl In by Friday night or Saturday. More than half of the troops have already been sworn into the federal service.

All of the members of Company ire in good health and look with great expectancy to the trip to the border.

The report in an unreliable newspaper that the members of Company had "turkeyed" and had refused to take the oath of allegiance was not taken very seriously here, where the sight of the 109 men of-Company B, taking the oath to the flag, was one of the most inspiring scenes in the camp.

The members of Company branded the story as a falsehood, referred to the source of such reports and were inclined to drop the matter.
