VETS RECALL
FIGHTING DAYS
Legion Also Opposes Bars in
Flag They Fought
For
In REUNION FOR
THE 18th YEAR

The remaining handful OF gallant
men who helped to fight the battles
Of the Union during the Civil War,
and who several years afterwards or
ganized the Veterans Legion, met
last night In Irish American Hall and
celebrated the twenty-ninth ami
versary Of the organization. There
were only a few present but per-
haps this fact, more than any other,
tended as a reminder of the gallant
careers OF the soldier boys Of "61"
to "65."
When the Legion was formed
twenty-nine years ago, there was
more than 80 members. Last night
the total membership was 40, and
many Of this number were present be-
cause OF the sentiment which was
voiced at the meeting, "the boys are
not as young as they use TO be-"
The meeting strongly protested
against placing a bar I'm the Ameri-
can flag. Those present had fought
to keep the stars IN the flag, and
they protested last night against dis
turbing those rtars with bar. II
was plain that they desired no other
insignia of the nation.
Colonel William A. Middleton and
many others spoke Colonel Middle
ton recalled the saying, 1T is noble
to forgive" and referred that passage
to Anderson prison, where his
"bunkie" was starved to death. After
recounting the incident he concluded.

General William A. Reilly, COM
mander of the legion, paid a high
tribute to the members of the or
ganization who died during the year
General Riley declared that at Chat
tanooga, American flags were given
prominence. while other delegates
averred that in previous years the
American flag in the South was un-
usual, even at a convention.
General Snyder lapsed into remins-
ences of war times. He recounted
the Gettysburg celebration and cited
the tribute 60 the veterans Of the
North and South as the greatest
tribute any nation ever paid to its
veterans. when 90 years after a great
battle an army of $4,000 men assem-
bled at a battlefield under the gov
ernment and flag which they fought

MANUFACTURERS'
SECTION AT WORK
Chamber Of Commerce Men,
berS Now After More
Members

A meeting for organization was
held in Eden Hall yesterday after
noon by the manufacturers section
of the Chamber Of Commerce. This
section is the last Of the four divi-
sions Of the trade body, all Of which
have organized within the last week.
The other three sections comprise the
civic, real estate and building trades,
and mercantile section.
John j. Satterthwaite was elected
permanent chairman Of the section,
after which the section got down to
business.
AS was the case in the organization
meeting of the other three sections
the vital question for discussion was
the question of in what manner the
membership campaign should be con-
Quoted. After some discussion the
section decided that best results could
be attained by working for increased
membership under the direction Of
Neil B. Sinclair, the newly-elected
general secretary.
It was the sentiment of the manu-
facturers that they could best work
among the men in their own business
not affiliated with the Chamber of
Commerce.
A committee was appointed by the
chair to outline the suggestions that
should be taken up by the section and
ultimately urged upon the board of
directors as recommendations.
The section, as did the directors,
favored the increased freight rates

mission by the various railroads.

NEW CASTLE
COUNTY SOIL
RICH IN LIME
Test Shows Kent and Sussex
50 Per Cent Behind in
Requirement
DELAWARE COLLEGE
MEN EXPERIMENT

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK, Feb. 11.-For the pur-
pose Of determining the relation be-
tween the lime requirements and thes
bacterial flora, study is being made
Of the three counties Of the State by
the Department Of Soil Bacteriology
of the Delaware College Experiment
Station. The investigation SO far has
shown that the heavier soils of New
Castle county have a lime require
ment nearly double that of the soil OF
the two lower counties. In the un-
per part Of the State, where Inning
has not been generally practiced the
surface soil to a depth Of eight inches
requires nearly double the quantity OF
lime required by the sub-soil extend
ing from eight 10 sixteen inches. In
spite Of the greater lime requirement
Of the surface eight inches, this sur
face contains practically all the ben
eficlal organisms. This condition is
caused by a rapid decrease in the
amount of humus in the soil, the sur
face soil containing from three 10
four times as much as the sub-soil.
The study has shown further that
lack Of aeration and proper drain
age, together with the failure to use
deep-roOting legumes such as alfalfa.
tends to make the subsoils of our
heavier lands low in beneficial or
ganisms. The lighter soils of Kent
and Sussex counties occasionally
have as good a bacterial flora in the
subsoil as they have in the surface
soil, moreover the amount of humus
in these subsoils more nearly ap-
proaches that in the surface soil. The
investigation of these soils has not
been completed but it promises TO be
of benefit to the farmer IN time.
About twenty students and faculty
members attended a meeting held
yesterday afternoon to discuss the
formation of a College Orchestra.
Those attending were much enthused
over the prospects and another meet
ing Will be held Friday night when
the organization will be formed. The
following pieces are already assured.
