In MemOTiunl.

In sad and loving remembrance of my
dear Father, John McGolerick, who de-
nar,ed this life Tyr ago today, Fen. !, 1915
His life he gives no more to us,
His hard work all is done;
pis soul has crosse the great divide
To the goal which he has won
II was sad and Lonesome evening,
When we were forced to part.
And tine love for our dear father
will always be fresh within our hearts.
Oh. how We loved our father.
No heart on arth can tell;
But Jesus loved him better,
And alled him home to dwell.
He was a tender and loving father,
father 30 kind and true;
A father and friend who would neyel
shirk
Whenever a hind act he could do,
By His Daughters,
Emma and Ruth McGolerick.

.CARRANzANEAREND
IS MEXICAN REPORT
Supposedly Authentic Informa-
\ ton Says Government Is
4 Desperate Shape.

Supposedly authentic information
reached Government officials today
that the Carranza administration In
Mexico IL in desperate shape. This
information Is semi-offcial. II is con-
tanned in mail advices from Mexico
"The Carranza government" IL reads
In effect, "Is crumbling fast. 1t is al
ready gone, In fact. 1t is almost an
credible OF belief how much groand
Carransa has lost in the last sixty
days. The whole Carranza structare
of government is disintegrating.'
: Many carranza consular officers AMI
interior officials. the letter says. have
received their salaries only at spas
modic intervals. At least three con-
suls in American border cities are
far in arrears in their office rent and
expenses, according to the letter.
War and State Department officials
today refused absolutely to discuss
the situation. It was stated. on un-
"something will be popping down the
border way before long"
The information before the Govern
ment contains the prophecy that Mex
leo ig seething with threatened uprisr
ings that need only a strong leadership
would send the CaIranza government
into oblivion"
One effect OF today's reports from
Mexico may be to hold up the presen-
tation TO the Senate of information ask
ed by Senator Falls resolution.
Congressman Eagen OF New Jersey to-
day introduced three priests from Mex
loo TO Secretary Lansing. They are
seeking the restoration OF property al
legged to have been confiscated by Car

now IN q condition of turmoil

dittons were az bad as described, say
ing they were no worse than conditions

wes said, and the Carranza government
