dication that the president has abar-
doned n plan originally considered.
which called for government requisi-
ton of the output Of all mines. with
the government selling the product To

The plan adopted, officials admitted
tonight, will work hardships on a

may force them to close down.

Pat McCarvey Is Dead
Unique Old Irishman and Uncompro-
missing Democrat, No More

"Uncle Pat" McGarvey, unique
local figure, died early in the week
at the home of his stcp-grandson,
Barney Davis, in the Mason's Gap
section, of the infrmities of age. Ex-
cept at election time, when he always
came in to vote the straight "Dimmy-
crat" ticket, as he called it, he had
not been seen in town much in recent
years as age had enfeebled him con-
siderably before the end came. "Un-
Gle Pat" was born in BALTIMORE, in
the county of Laitran, Ireland, on
August Is, 1874. He came to this
country in 1868 and came to Lin
coin county the year after the Civil
War. He was first engaged in con-
struction work at the time the l.. &
N. railroad was built through STAN
ford; and after that ne worked on the
crews that were engaged in the Gin
cinnati Southern building. Since that
time he worked faithfully and well
for various farmers and farmed lit
tie on his own place south of STAN
ford. His wife died number of
years ago, and son died IA years
ago. Four grandchildren live at
Hood River, Oregon. They are Wal
ter McGarvey and Misses Addie, Ida
and Bertha McGarvey. When Ike be-
came too feeble to look out for him.
self he made his home with Barney
Davis, where he was given every at
tention and loving care until the end
came to the old man. He was a
member of the Catholic church. His
remains were laid to rest in the old
Sugar Loaf burying ground, in the
Hale's Well section, south of town.

it is sure to be big success. A small

Americans Are Released
Who Were Taken OFF Steamer BY
Cermans-Crisis Nearer

The American seamen, who were
brought prisoners to Germany on
board the British steamer Yarrow-
dale, have been liberated.
Many responsible officials of the
Administration have come to the con-
clusion that unless there is a prompt
and decided change in the general
attitude of Germany toward the in
terests Of the United States the APP
pearance of President Wilson before
Congress to ask authority to afford
protection to American lives and
property is only matter of days.
Any doubt as the ruthless charac-
ter of the new submarine campaign
and its violation of neutral rights
long since has disappeared, and the
situation is made more and more
grave daily by aggravating incidents.
Even if the President delays going
to Congress longer than it is believed
in most quarters he will, the present
session comes to an end in less than
three weeks and it is regarded as in
evitable that he will deliver another
address on German-American rela-
tons before Congress adiourns.
From an econimic standpoint Sc
rious results from the new subma-
rine campaign become more appar-
ent each day. Representatives of
a large group of railroads met and
decided on plans for placing an en-
barge on eastbound freight destined
for expectation unless shipping ia
cilities were assured.
President Wilson himself still was
moving slowly in order that no Sc
rious step be taken in advance of an
unmistakable demonstration of Ger
many's disregard of the interests and
rights of the United States Real
izing that some reports of German
activities may have been exaggerated
he is relying only on official informa-
ton.
Efforts of persons and organiza-
lions working to maintain peace are
going forward with undated vigor.
Their attitude is causing little con-
Germ among officials, who say the
President has no intention of max.
ing any move except on the basis of
facts which will satisfy all reason
able and patriotic Americans.
