Heavy Wool Clip.

Reports from wool producers in Gar
rett county indicate heavy yield this
spring, and at prices never before
reached in this country. Yesterday
quotations were in the neighborhood of
sixty cents per pound. At this rate Gar
rett county will receive many thousands
of dollars for her wool this season, not
withstanding the fact that the sheep
industry has been cut to a minimum.
A few years ago nearly every farmer
in the county had his drove of sheep,
but on account of the ravages of dogs
and other causes the proposition became
losing one.
A heavy fleece was clipped a few days
ago by Mr.. W. H. Knepp, of the Red
House. when he sheared yearIing male
Lincoln. The fleece weighed 143 pounds
and the wool measured from liz to 128
inches in length. The animal weighed
lao pounds. From two-year old eve
of the same strain he clipped II pounds
of wool.

the duty that rests upon the community,
in its collective capacity, to remove the
causes of distress and suffering. This
is function vastly more important
than mere relief for the victims of
social and industrial conditions that are
a disgrace to our Evaunted civilization.
Call it socialism" or what you will,
this movement for the establishment of
separation allowances and for funds for
dependents is in line with modern pro-
gress and must be adopted if this
country is to profit by the bitter lessons
of the war and to keep pace with the
advances of humanity.

THE DEATH RECORD.
PATRICK HENRY SHAFFER.

Patrick Henry Shaffer, the younge st
son of the late Benjamin and Marie
Shaffer was born May 10, 1876 on
the farm on which hedied, MAY 81,
1917, after attending the Mason
school he attended a private school
at Oakland for several termsand
taught school for one winter. Just
as he reached manhood his health fail
ed and for eighteen months he was
seriously i'll, but his splendid vitality,
coupled with the treatment received at
Johns Hopkins Hospital under DR..
Osler, enabled him to recovey in a
measure his former health. About
twenty years ago he opened a jewelry
store in BaYard, W. Va, and later re-
moved to Hambleton and Hendricks on
the Western Maryland. Finding that
his health was again failing he decided
to try other climates and visited many
places in the South and in the far West
except for about two years spent at
Payson, Utah, and Great Falls, Mon
tana. He never remained long in one
place, for the lure of the old Alleghenys
always brought him back. He had lust
returned from trip to the Pacific
coast when he was taken ill last De-
cember. When he failed to respond to
treatment he was removed to the Davis
Hospital where he underwent an oper-
alton that gave only temporary relief.
He was then taken to his old home and
lovingly tended by his sister and broth
ers until the end came.
IN spite of ill health he was always
optimistic and cheerful and had a host
of warm friends. He possessed
mechanical ability far above the
average but i'll health prevented its
full fruition.
On Sunday he was laid at rest in
the cemetery at Red House beside his
parents. The funeral services were
conducted by Rev. Adams. The burial
services of the Knights of Pythias was
used at the grave. A large number of
Knights of the Bayard Lodge, of which
he was a member, attended his funeral,
In spite of i'll health his life work was
peculiarly distinctive and he has left
lasting impression upon all who knew
him and the world is poorer for his
going. A half brother, David E.
Hauser, sister, Minnie NJ. Shaffer and
three brothers, Franklin B., John A.,
and Charles H., survive him.
MRS. JOHN sPoERLINE.
Mrs. John Spoerline died at her home
IN Accident Monday afternoon after
more than three months illness as the
result of cancer of the stomach. She
is survived by her husband and large
family of children, nearly all grown to
young manhood and womanhood. She
is also survived by brother, Mr.. James
Dodge, of near Thayerville and other
relatives. Mrs. Spoerllne was most
highly esteemed for her motherlY quail
ties which were developed to a high
degree and for those other qualities of
womanhood which will make her taking
away all the more painful to her family
and friends.

PETROGRAD. March 24.-New
Russia is likely to bear the name
"The United States of Russia" IL the
temper of the people in Petrograd is
an index. At least the form Of gov
ernment will be republican, Whether
the unmistakable feeling on this
point today In the capital is shared
throughout the country is difficult to
tell. ...
The Russian peasants mind Is
principally fixed on the land ques-
ton, breaking up Of great estates and
equal opportunities to all. This ques-
ton solved satisfactorily, the peasant
cares for little else.
Duma delegates today were scat
tering to all quarters of the empire
for the purpose Of explaining to the
people in distant parts exactly what
has happened. Doubtless they will
bring back to Petrograd an accurate
review of sentiment on the form of
government.
In the meantime the council of
workmen, soldiers and deputies. num-
bering 1900. continues It's administra-
ton as organized on the first day OF
the revolution. Demands of various
factions, however, are moderating.
The assembly has effected compro-
mise with the new cabinet in which
the cabinet agreed to await decision
by constituent assembly and not to
attempt precipitate action.
Organization of social democratic
party throughout Russia in the hope
of strong representation of that ele-
ment in the constituent assembly ia

This additional example OF the
dawn of new era in Russia was
seen today-the men waiting in line

FORCED OUT OF BELGIUM
Torpedoing Of Relief Ships After the
Pledge Not to do SO, Results
in Withdrawal of
Work.

by Robert J. Bender, United Press
Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON. March 24.-Brand
Whitlock, American minister to Bel
gfum, has been withdrawn and any
participation of this government in
Belgium relief work Is at an end.
This was announced in a sharp Off
cial statement today which pointedly
mentioned the sinking of Belgian re-
lief ships, despite Germany's pledge
that they would be given safe passage
The statement also revealed that
Whitlock had been denied the priyi-
lege Of communicating with the state
department, even in plain language.
A protest by this government
against the sinking of ships, transmit
ted to Germany through Spain was
not answered.
"The German governments observ-
ance of it's other undertakings has
not been such that the department
would feel warranted in accepting re-
sponsibility for leaving these Amer-
can citizens belgium relief workers.
in German occupied territory" the
statement declares.
The American relief workers have
been ordered to quit that country and
The Netherlands government has
agreed to send in workers to fill
their places. Whitlock has officially
and unofficially done much to keep
the work of mercy going. Chairman
Hoover, of the relief commission, has
struggled to have America keep up
the task. But the step was taken to-
day because the task had become i'm
possible and likewise because, with
real war just ahead, the government
felt the protection of its workers
must be accomplished and affairs put
in hands that may be able to prevail
upon Germany to stop her attacks on
the relief ships.
The official statement on the
changes said:
"By direction of the president, the
minister at Brussels has been in
structed to withdraw from Belgium
