March 9.—In theatrical surroundings the fourteen Menshev- lsts on trial for treason in connect- ion with a purported interventionist plor. against the Soviet State, were given brief sentences today, rang- ing from five to ten years impris- onment.

After the trial of Prof. Leonid Ro-msin and his seven QSSOO-i iates on similar charges last fall, fowl expected he would get his demand. Seven got ten years today. four were given eight years and three live years in prison. The verdict was delayed
