HYSTERICAL
MOTHER FEARS HER CHILDREN
DROWNED IN CREEK
Searches Bank and Finds Tots Safe
and Sound at Home-Lsuder.
baueh Youngsters Give
Mother quite Scare

Great excitement prevailed i'm
South Vernon for a short time Friday
afternoon and many people in the
neighborhood of the Richardson gro
Gerry turned out to search for the two
children of Hugh Lauderbaugh, who
were thought to have been drowned in
Dry Creek where they were wading.
The children, little girl aged five
and her brother, who is eight years of
age, went wading in the stream and
when they failed to return home their
mother became worried and started
to search for them. Failing to find
the children, Mrs. Lauderbaugh be-
came thoroughly frightened and en-
listed the aid of her neighbors.
In the meantime, the children re-
turned to their home and when the
distraught mother returned home she
found her children alive and only
slightly wet.
1t seems that the tots had gone up
stream and were wading when the lit
tie girl got in water little bit too
deep and her brother attempted to
help her out, in the meantime calling
for assistance. William Everhard
and Harry LaFever heard the child
and waded into the water and carried
them to the bank.
The children returned home while
the mother was searching down
stream for them.

81 Middies Must Quit.

Eighty-two midshipmen of the Ma
val academy at Annapolis have been
asked to resign as result Of t eir
failure to make an average OF sixty
per cent in the mid-year examinations,
the navy department has announced.
AS told, an unusually large number
of cadets failed to pass in certain sub
jects at the semi-annual examinati rs
which have just been concluded. The
academic board passed on eacl case,
and recommended the dismissals to
the secretary of the navy. When there
were extenuating circumstances III
the individual case, recommendation
Of dismissal was not made.
1t was reported at first that about
220 midsh:pmen, or Almost cne-quar-
tor of the whole number at the acad
emy, had failed to pass in certain
subjects. The number in each class
was said to be about as follows: First
or graduating class, twenty; second,
fifty; third, sixty; fourth, eighty.
While this number is regarded as
rather large it is likely that many
who failed were not asked to hes.gn
owing to various circumstances.

The great battle in ArtoiS continues

campment.
The following official communica'

GARRISON QUITS
WILSON'S CABINET
War Secretary and His Assis-
tant Resign.
DISAGREE OVER POLICIES
Disapproves Dropping Continental Ar
my Plan and Withdrawal From tho
Philippine Islands.

Lindley NJ. Garrison, secretary Of
war, rendered his resignation to Presl
dent Wilson and it was accepted.
Refusal OF the president to insist
upon acceptance of the continental
army plan, generally opposed IN Goa
gress, and Garrison's dlsapproVal OF
the Philippine independence bill as II
| passed the senate, are understood tc
have been responsible for his decls
ion to quit the cabinet.
President Wilson accepted the resig
nation and a formal announcement Is
expected without delay.
The resignation of Henry G. Breck
enridge, assistant secretary OF war;
was also announced, he following his
chief in his attitude toward military
| policies.
Secretary Garrison stood firm in his
advocacy of the "Continental Army
| as a means of national defense.
The president took the position he
could not dictate details of an army
plan to congress.
He conferred with Republican mem
bers of the house military committee,
who informed him tEat Democrats
and Republicans alike On the comm t.
tee were oEposel to the coHtinenta!
army scheme, and that 1t had no
chanc of being approved.
Garrison would not admit that there
properly could be notifications on the
plan.
AS for the Philippine bill, passed by
the senlte recently, It is understood
to have been another reason for Set re-
tary Garrison's decision. He object
ed strongly to the Clarke amendn eat
incorporated in the Philippine bill pro-
viding for independence for the Islands
within from two to four years.
Garrison is said to have determined
to quit the cabinet when it became
apparent that his continental army
plan would not meet with the apprcV-
al of congress.
Reports of the resignation were cir
culated after the secretary had an
nounc ed he would not deliver an ad-
dress on national defense before the
chamber of commerce Of the United
States, as had been expected.
Immediately aftcrward, however, ne
and Mrs. Garrison departed for New
York, and it was said at the war Of
fee it would be for an indefinite stay.
President Wilson has supported the
continental" army scheme, and con-
-tinues to believe it is the best plan
for strengthening the army. He has
made it pain, however, in speeches
and in talks with congressional lead
ers, that the main thing is to get a
large reserve for the United States
army and that the details must be
worked out through common Gun
sell"
The president and Secretary Garri'
son have been close personal friends
since the administration came into Of
fee, and have stood together on prac-
tically every question.

One hundred men were employed
in the Ernest mine, but only thirty
seven of these were cut off from es-

the main entry which was clear.
The report of the explosion wa,
heard a half mile away. The wives

Of the mine was burning, bat rescu-
ers who later entered the mine re-
ported that there was no fire.
