INTIMATE ACTION IN CIVIL V \ R MAY HAVE DISASTROUS CONSEQI'ENCES PARIS, June 1.—(UP)—France and Great Britain have given Italy and Germany clear intimations that continued direct action in the Spanish civil war may have disastrous consequences tor all Europe, it was understood today. The situation resulting from the German naval bombardment of Almena was one in which a misplaced bomb or shell, fired by some excitable aviator or naval officer, might confront Europe with the spark needed to set off the war for which all continental powers are aiming. Some German warships have left for the Mediterranean to reinforce the fleet there. Others are loading with war quotas of munitions ready to leave. All have orders to fire on any Spanish Loyalist airplane or ship that seems to present a threat. Fuehrer Adolf Hitler and Premier Bemto Mussolini, the war time army I corporals who speak and act for their nations, were in close cooperation and left no doubt that they would act together in any emergency. On the other side, France and Great Britain cooperated as closely. They sought by all means to prevent

a crisis, but the fact was that they I Mars hall, Ind.

seemed as united—for the purpose of any real emergency as the NaziFascist combination. Despite the admitted danger of the situation tension was eased, if only for the moment, today. First, the French-British admonitions to the Nazi-Fascist powers, though temperate, seem to have been firm and plain as to the danger of a European war. Secondly, Great Britain has undertaken to warn the Spanish Loyalist government that it, if only out of self-interest, must avoid making open antagonists of Germany and Italy. Thirdly, Germany has advised Great Britain and France that she considers the bombardment of Almena by a German war fleet to have given her the satisfaction she required for the bombing by Loyalist planes Saturday of the battleship Deutschland. That league action might be asked if necessary was intimated plainly in government quarters here. So far France and Britain have urged the Loyalist government not to force league action against German and Italian intervention in aid of the Nationalists. But a semi-official analysis of the Deutschland-Almeria situation, issued this morning, contained the plain warning that further Ger-man-Italian action might force league consideration of the whole Spanish problem.

Revolutionary War Veterans

The graves of the Revolutionary! War -veterans that are known to be buried in Putnam county, were included in the long list of the resting places of our soldier dead, which were decorated with flowers and flags, on Sunday, in cases where the graves could be found. Many of those veterans died in an early day in this county, and were laid away, in many instances, on private land, possibly without a marker at the time of the interment and their location was lost. Many of them have no markers now, for that reason, notwithstanding efforts of the Daughters of the American Revolution to locate them, in order to mark them. On the bronze tablet in the corridor of the Putnam county Court House, dedicated to the county Revolutionary War dead, appear the following thirty-three names, of men who so the tablet states, were buried in the county, most of whom have relatives here now: Isaac Armstrong, Jonathan Boyd, John Buck, William Brown, Nathaniel Cunningham, Jacob Grider, Laban Hall, Thomas Jones, John McHaffie, Andrew McPheeters, Samuel Moore, Thomas Rhoten, Abraham Stobaugh, Thomas Tucker, Robert Whitehead, Julius Glazebrook, William Banks, John Bartee, William Cornwell, Samuel Denny, Silas Hopkins, George Hammer, Joseph Lafallette, Sr., William McGaughey, Benjamin Mahorney, John Norman, Isaiah Slavens. Peter Stoner, John Walden, John Walls. William Denny, William Ed-

mondson.

However, Miss Minetta Wright, who has been historian of the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, has a list of forty-seven veterans of that Colonial war, whose graves are supposed to lie in Putnam county. Not all of these have been located, however. Miss Wright stated, in addition, that the chapter has been informed on good authority ttnrt the nanrios of Laban Hall and Andrew McPheeters, on the tablet in the Court House, were erroneously placed there. They were veterans of that war, and lived in Putnam county part of their lives, but Mr. Hall, so the chapter is informed, is buried in Vigo county, and Mr. McPheeters, in Missouri.
