Cincinnati. Jan. 3. The National

asked for by the fraternity the com
mission held that three Of them did not

therefore, held that they were Internal

The other concession, the one asking
that "a clause in the players contrac,
empowering clubs TO suspend without

PLAYERS who are injured in service be
eliminated and that such players be
entitled to full pay as long as they are
held under contract was also as

the commission has never approved

FIRST AMERICAN VICTORY.

For two years the British and Ca.
nadians fought to drive the Germans
from Vimy ridge.
The invaders line held solid.
Came a day when news reached
the trenches that America had de.
clared war.
A young Texan-his name is not
preserved for history-asked and re.
ceived permission to fasten the
American flag to his bayonet and to
lead in the charge Of the Canadian
regiment with which he was serving.
With the young American, carry
ing the Stars and Stripes, in the fore.
front, the Canadians charged again.
The line that for two years had
been impregnable, wayered and
broke.
Who shall say it was not due to
the cheer given the Canadians, and
the dismay given the Germans, by
sight of the American flag?
The young Texan fell in the charge.
They carried him back to the Ca.
madam lines with the Stars and
Stripes for his shroud.
Perhaps the battle in which this
gallant Texan lost his life was the
first American victory.

United Colonies Throw Off British Yoke in Seven Years Of
War and Take Place Among Worlds Free Nations
CHAPTER ",

The STAMP act congress- in e
York in 1765 created so much oppo
sition in the colonies to the STAMP
act that the British parliament re
pealed it in 1866, at the same time re
affirming it's right to tax the colonies
The next year a tax was placed on
glass, paper, printers colors and tea
These taxes aroused protests which
resulted in the Boston massacre OF
ITO, when soldiers fired on unarmed
citizens, and in the Boston tea par
ty' of 1878, when colonists disguised
as Indians threw a cargo of tea into
the harbor.
The first battle of the revolution
was fought April 10, ITS, when un'
organized farmers at Concord and
Lexington compelled the British to
retreat to Boston.
The continental congress of the
colonies met in Philadelphia in 1875,
and sought a peaceful solution which
parliament refused.
The congress then raised 10000 CO.
lonial troops and placed George
Washington of Virginia in charge. On
June II, 1775, British stormed and
captured the colonial positions on
Bunker (Breed's) Hill, Boston, with
so severe a loss that the battle was
in moral effect a colonist victory.
The British were besieged in BOs.

in the spring, retiring to Halifax by

After the Boston retirement, Brit.

men, including $1,000 German mer-
cenaries to quell the rebellion.

gress adopted the Declaration Of In

"War Preparedness"
In Your DUN Garden
BEST WAYS TO GROW ONIONS IN DIFFERENT CLIMATES
EXPLAINED BY TRIBUNE GARDENING EXPERT.

(Another of the series Of gardening
articles by an expert GARNER telling
what and WASn to plant, how to plant

BY A GARDNER.
The onion will thrive under a wide
range of climatic and soil conditions,
but a rich sandy loan containing
plenty of humus is best suited for 1t.
AS the crop requires shallowscu'tiva-
ton and it may be necessary TO re
sort to hard work to keep it free from
weeds, the land should be in condi.
ton to be easily worked.
In the north, seed is sowl as early
in the spring as the soil car be
brought to the proper conditions In
the south, %oaionnsets a"c frequently
put out in the autumn AMI carried
through the a19nter with the protec-
ton of a little hay or straw.
There are three ways Of growing
onions: First, by sowing tie seeds
in rows where the crop is to grow;
second, by sowing the seed in prepar-
ed beds and TRANSFORMING the seed.
lings to the open ground; and bird.
by planting sets which have heel. kept
through the winter.
The first method is used by large
commercial growers on account Of the
labor involved in the others. On small,
areas it may be preferable to plant
sets. Onions planted from sets will
ripen earlier than those from seel
sown in the garden.
The seedlings are transplanted
when they are somewhat smaller than
a lead pencil and rather stocky. The
root end of the plant is pushed into
the soil and the soil is firmcd about
the plant.
about, a foot apart. After the plants
become established. they are thinned
to about two or three inches apart.
The maturity of the bulbs may be
FASTENED by preventing the cOntin-
ued growth Of the tops. This is some.
times accomplished BY rolling an
empty barrel over the rows and break
ing down the tops.
Wait until the tops are fairly we'll
along. After these turned over tops
are practically dead, the onion bulbs
may be pulled out by hand and spread
in a dry. we~ll-ventilated place to cure.
Several kinds Of onions may remain
in the soil yer winter. The multi.
plier. or potato onion, for example,
can be planted from sets in the au-
tumn and will produce excellent
green onions early in the spring. Re
member this next fall. Cover the bed
with leaves or straw.
A large onion Of this type contains
a number Of distinct hearts and if
planted will produce small onions. On
