U. S. INDUSTRY /
DIVORCED FROM
GERMAN CAPITAL
Danger From German Com
mercial Ambitions Not Yet
Past, Warns Palmer.
tBy Associated Press,

BOSTON, Dec. 31.-Germany's war
time plans for after-the-war CONNER
cial supremacy were described by A.
Mitchell Palmer. Alien Property Gus
todian. at a luncheon today OF the
Boston Chamber OF Commerce, with
a warning that danger from German
ambitions is not past and can not be
ignored.
Mr.. Palmer told Of what has been
accomplished by the United States IN
breaking Germany's hold on Americas
commercial interests gained for the
purpose OF futhering this plan, and
urged decree of absolute divorce
between German capital and American
industry"
Before this country's entrance into
the war. he said. most OF the great
German owned industrial "et"h"-h-
ments were spy centers filled with
agents OF Germany, long ploAlig
against the safety of the United
States"
No German Interests.
They were a part OF the greet
German plan for the military and corr
mercial domination Of the world" no
continued. Il hope>to be able to say
when peace finally is declared, that
there is no longer any influential Ger
man interest in this country; that
every particle OF German ownership
in our Independent industries has been
destroyed, and that American indus
tries have been restored to their right
full owners.
"The sale Of German-ownd or con-
trolled businesses in this country Is
one of the most important battles in
the commercial war that Germany has
planned. With all German interest
in this country eliminated, the Ameri-
can business man still has fight on
his hands. / have it from German
sources that Germany's plan for COM
mercial aggression, once the treaty
Of peace is ratified, has been prepared
with such minute detail that no mar
ket in the world has been left un-
touched
Mr.. Palmer said there can be no
question to consider to sell and liqui-
date enemy-owned businesses in the
United States. Germany and the Unit
ed States are still at war. he said, and
as the g-with-the-enemy act is
still in full force, the selling of enemy.
owned property is fully justified.

Red Cross Notes

In order that needed knitted articles
may reach American soldiers overseas
during the cold weather a shipment
must be made by the Red Cross next
week.
Women worked last evening pack
ing supplies which have already been
turned in, and an appeal has been
sent out to all knitters to finish mat
erial on hand and get 1t in for this
European shipment next week.
Knitters who will not be able to fin
ish their work by the end of this week
should turn in their partly completed
article and yarn Immediately SO that
it may be finished by some one else.
This request has been made i'm
perative.
1t is said that in many cases our
boys are suffering for want of warm
winter woolens and that some people
everywhere in the country have been
letting down on their knitting since
the signing of the armistice. This is
poor spirit, Red Cross workers say,
and those who have stuck by their
work." when there seemed less honor
for the knitter are deserving of praise.

out of war forever

Sheridan was born near Swinford,
County Mayo, Ireland III 1880. Twenty
years later he came TO America and
soon became prominent in track and
field athletics as a member OF the Irish
American Athletic club of New York.
He joined the metropolitan police force
in 1905 and won the individual all
round championship of the Amateur
Athletic Union that same year. He
duplicated this achievement in 1907
1909.
In the interim he earned world wide
fame by winning the shotput and dis

Gus event at the Olympic games at

WV LATE CABBAGE

Late cabbage is usually grown as
crop following early potatoes, peas OF
some other crop that leaves the ground
free for about onehalf the growing sea
son. The plants may be grown III the
seed bed, it being necessary to sow the
seed some three or four weeks before
IT is desired to set them III position III
the garden. Ii is an excellent plan to
follow early potatoes with late cabbage
as none of the insects that affect early
potatoes are liable to modest the late
cabbage, and it is possible TO set the
plants between the potato rows some two
or three weeks before the potatoes are
dug. In this manner sufficient time i
gained TO permit the cabbage to reach
maturity before hard freezing weather
occurs in the fall.
| The rows should be about 8 feet apart
and the plants some feet apart in the
rows. Slight freezing does not injure
cabbage, but it should not be subjected
TO repeated freezing and thawing. Late
cabbage can be stored BY taking III
plants and packing them closely together
in trench. placing a frame of board,
or poles around the trench. some sup
ports across the top, and covering the
whole with straw or corn fodder. The
heads may be removed as needed and
the roots and stems left in position il
