American Note on I'm
Alone Is Handed to
the Canadian Legation

WASHINGTON, D. c., April IS
The British government is under
stood to be watching with the closest
attention the American reply to the
Canadian note protesting the sink
ing of the British rum runner I'm
Alone outside the three mile limit.
The note was handed to the Cana
dian legation here by the state de-
partment.
The terms of the American note,
while secret, are understood to
maintain the right of the U. S. war
ships to overhaul British boats
within an hours steaming distance
beyond the three mile limit. The
British contend that such an extern
sion of jurisdiction cannot be adj
mitted.

WARLORDS RUSH
THOUSANDS To
FIGHTING ZONE
Feng Negotiates With
Wuhan Generals

SHANGHAI, April 18. - Battles
between the forces of Chang Kai-
shek and Feng Yu-hsiang have al
ready occurred in places south of
Yenchow-fu and Chieh-ho, beginning
the long awaited struggle between
the two war-lords.
The fighting occurred following
orders from Chang Kai-shek, re-
calling Feng's army which is adj
\ vancing to take over Tsinan-fu. The
orders said that Chang would send
in his own forces.
Both generals are rushing troops
to the war zone, Feng having the
larger force in the field at present.
Chiang's nearest troops are 100000
under General Fang Chen-wu, whose
vanguard is already at Teh-chow,
about 80 miles northwest of Tsinan-
fu. Meanwhile 10000 more of Chi
ang's troops are rushing north from
Marking by rail. Feng is rushing
down troops from the north over
the same railway.
Feng is reported to be negotiating
with members of the Kwangsi clique
with view to uniting the remnants
Of the Wuhan armies with his own
highly disciplined brigadcs in Honan.

ton them, but they themselves
eagerly told him everything. To
Grishka he said:
"You have no parents-that is
good, buddy. Parents are trash. The
mother throws her skirts over hel
son and the son turns out for g
good-for-nothing. They gave you
birth, and that is enough. Now you
must live on your own hook"
Eyes, and the militiaman said;
You're like dung"
Dung is all right. We get good
crops from dung. There now, lads,
we'll milk the cows at this stop.
Well drink milk. Milk is goodw
He would not eat meat, and
laughed at the kids.
Eating bow-wow again? Gobble
away, gobble away"
Grishka howled in delight.
"This is beef, not dog meat"
"It's all the same. Any way you
call tits Fido. But milk is good,
friends. Very good!"
Martynov took charge of one ca
boose, the driver Nikolai of the
other. That was all the guard they
had. The children ere grouped in
shifts. First one, then the other
shift went with Martynov. They
themselves established the turns who
was to go with whom at each stop.
They reclined on the fragrant hay.
They sang songs, whatever ones
they knew and felt like singing. The
words were incomprehensible-who
could remember them? But it
sounded like:
"Ai dyn bindy dy- bindy.
All dyn bindy dyndy bindy."
Strange! He sang it five times,
The kids asked him to. He closed
his eyes, crossed his feet under him,
swayed, and sang. Fine! Grishka
was ready to hear it five times more.
The free, scent-laden wind of the
steppes burst into the wide open door
of the caboose. And it brought bois-
ferrous joy with it. Grishka poured
out his joy to the steppes in
shouts, screams, and leapings. 1t is
for him that this train is rushing
along. 1t is for him the engine bel
lows. For the first time in his life
he felt this-all is Grishka's, all is
for him!
And he shouted through the open
door with full lungs:

Grigori Ivanovich Peskov (Grish-
ka), homeless waif, escapes from
a home for juvenile delinquents
together with group of other
young inmates. They live by beg
ging and spend their nights in
cemetery. One night they are dis
covered by Red soldiers and taken
to the local department of educa-
tion. The officials here are at
loss as to what to do with them.
Comrade MartynOv, an energetic
man of incisive personality, comes
in and decides to take ten of the
children with him. He begins ques-
tioning Grishka who tells him that
he ran away from the Children's
Home because he didn't like it
there.

commanding officers of the Continen-
tai troops; That it be proclaimed in
each of the United States and at the
head of the Army"
1t was late in the afternoon of
Thursday, July 4, when this action
was taken, so the committee, COM
posed of Thomas jefferson, John
Adams and Benjamin Franklin imme-
diately FASTENED from the state house
on Chestnut street, in Philadelphia, to
little building on High street, where
Dunlap and Claypoole conducted
print shop. These printers were pre-
pared to do rush jobs" They had
put out broadsides Immediately after
the Battles of Lexington, Bunker Hill,
and upon receipt of the news of the
disasters at Ticonderoga and Quebec.
So they at once set to work and gave
their personal attention to the setting
in type of this greatest of all docu-
to print. Since the printing of it had
to have official supervision, Jefferson,
Adams and Franklin stayed in the
shop until the Declaration was set
in type and the first proof of it was
pulled. They then made corrections
on this proof, (the major responsible
ity for catching any errors resting on
Franklin, no doubt, since he was a
practical printer) and remained in the
shop until this Magma Charta of Amer
lean liberties had been placed on the
old fiat hand-press and was being
printed.
On July 5, 1776, when congress met
again, supply of these printed copies
of the Declaration were on hand, and
one of them was "wafered" in the
blank space left for it in the rough
journal of Congress" before the read
ing of the minutes of the preceding
day took place. In the meantime let
tiers transmitting the Declaration to
the various assemblies had been pre-
| pared by John Hancock, president of
congress, his signature attested to by
Charles Thompson, secretary, and
some of these were printed on July 5
and the remainder some days later.
| The first one was sent to the Com
mittee of Safety of Pennsylvania, dat
ed July and delivered to the COM
mittee on July 6. The committee de-
cided to promulgate the Declaration
on the following Monday, July s, since
elections for membership in the new
convention were to be held through
out the state on that day and would
furnish a better opportunity than
usual to secure large public attend
ance to hear the reading of this impor-
tant document.
On July s, the Declaration of indie
pendence was first proclaimed to the
citizens of the United States from the
balcony of an observatory attached to
the building in the state house yard
which occupied the site of what is
now the home of the American Phi
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1929-06-21

losophical society. The man who read
it to the assembled people was Col.
John Nixon, formerly an alderman in
Philadelphia and commander of a reg
iment in the Continental army at the
battle of Long Island and at Valley
Forge. He acted for the sheriff who
would by right have read it.
The reading of the Declaration was
received with much enthusiasm by
the Philadelphians. 1t is true that
the Liberty bell in the state house
steeple (that bell whose makers had
placed upon it the prophetic inscrip-
ton proclaim Liberty throughout all
the Land unto all the inhabitants
thereof" when it had been cast some
twenty-three years before), was rung
at this time-to call the Philadel-
phians together for the reading of the
Declaration and to celebrate the Occa-
sion after they had received the news.
But the cracking of the bell did not
take place at this time. That oc-
currred exactly SO years later while
it was being tolled for the death of
Chief Justice John Marshall, which
took place July s, 1885. Other bells
chimed in the chorus, bonfires were
lit that evening and all in all it was
one of the most memorable days in
the history of the historic City of
Brotherly Love.
Although the first official proclama
ton of the Declaration of Independ-
ence took place on July s, in Independ-
ence Square, this was not the first
great news which it contained. For
on Saturday, July 6, the Pennsylvania
Evening Post, published every Tues
day and Saturday evenings" at a
price only two coppers" devoted the
entire front page of its issue for that
date to the publication of the Dec
laration. On July s, Dunlap and
Claypoole also published it in their
weekly, the Pennsylvania Packet, and
within the next week or so it had
been published in nearly all of the
Colonial newspapers, as well as hav-
ing been proclaimed in various places
by the assemblies, councils of safety
and the like, for post riders were car
rying some of Dunlap and Claypoole's
printed copies throughout the newly
created nation. In Massachusetts
where the struggle for liberty had be-
gun, it was first proclaimed on July
IA, 1776, and the interesting fact Is
that it did not take place in Boston.
For, according to contemporary ac-
count, "at about noon on Sunday
July 14) messenger on his way to
Boston stopped at one of the taverns
on Main street (Worcester) for din
ner for himself and team. While
waiting for his team to eat and rest
he was met by Isaiah Thomas, who
obtained from him copy of the Dec.
laratiOn which he took to the church
and read from the porch"

LISKA HAILED AS
BEST YOUNGSTER
Submarine Hurler Favored
to Win Out.

The season has been under way
long enough to offer the conclusion
that AID Liska, the twenty-two-year-
old submarine chukker with the
Washington Americans, isn't destined
to have the tag "bloomer" fastened
on him. On the contrary, Liska seems
well on his way to earning the dis
tinction of being the best young
pitcher to reach the majors this sea-
son.
Manager Walter Johnson, one of
the greatest pitchers baseball ever
has known, boosted Liska.
"He has impressed me more than
any youngster / have seen in years."
he commented.
1t has come to pass that no one
was wrong. Or, at least, isn't yet.
Liska has pitched almost perfect ball
for Washington. One of his games
was two-hit affair against Cleve-
land. He lost that, and was credited
with losses in the two other games,
because the WashingtOns made only
one run for him in them.
Bill MCGOWAN. veteran American
league umpire, was roaring gleefully
about Liska after the two-hit game
IN Cleveland. MCGOWAN officiated at
the game.
''That kid has one of the most puz-
zling deliveries / ever have seen,"
he said. sit is hard to get next to.
"It's lot different from the way
Carl Mays pitches. Mays sweeps very
low in his swing and batter can
follow the ball easily as he seems to
hesitate just a little at the bottom
of the swing and then push it in
there. Not like Liska. He whips the
ball. He doesn't swing low and he
hides that hall so nicely that batter
can't see it until it is almost up to
the plate. sweeps up and hops.
"Joe Sewell has just about the best
pair of eyes in baseball. And those
eyes, and the fact that he crowds the
plate and is little fellow, make him
hard to pitch to- But Sewell, as well
as the other players, was topping
'em. The infielders get plenty of
work when Liska works.
"Liska looks like a great pitcher.
His delivery has a nice hop and is a
fast one. His curve isn't so bad,
either. If he keeps hiding that ball
the way he did against Cleveland. no
club will beat him easily"

card that could be copied to advan-

The first page has the yardage and
par for the links. Nothing unusual
about that, but on the second and
third pages are given an outline of
each hole, showing where to aim and
to place the drive for the short play

ger. All hazards, whether natural or
artificial, are shown clearly. For a
person starting out over a strange
course, such directions are great
convenience.

OPEN" And that represents pretty
well the sum of the transformation
which many of us have upon the his
toric event from which we date the
beginning of our nation.
In contrast to this misinformation,
consider these simple chronological
facts in regard to the making Of the
Declaration of independence and Pro-
claiming of Liberty:
On June Z, 1776, Richard Henry Lee,
delegate to the Second Continental
Congress from Virginia, acting under
his instructions from that colony, pre-
scented a resolution declaring that
these United Colonies are, and of
right ought to be, free and independ-
ent states" This resolution was de-
bated in congress for nearly month
and a vote on it was deliberately de-
ferred until it seemed certain that the
restrictions placed upon delegates
from other colonies would be so mod
flied that there would be unanimous
or almost unanimous approval of the
resolution when it was put to vote
in congress.
On July 2, 1776, Lees resolution
was put to a vote and approved by
the delegates of twelve of the col
onies. The only silent voice was that
of the New York delegation. The Dec
laration was penned by Thomas Jeffer-
son and offered to congress, sitting as
a committee of the whole, for revision
before it's adoption.
On July 4, 1776, the Declaration of
independence, as revised, was adopt
ed by the delegates from the colonies
with the exception of the New York
voted for the Declaration of Independ-
ence realized that it would be nothing
more than a scrap of paper unless it
received popular support and received
it Immediately. So arrangements were
made at once to have the document
put before the public in the form of
a broadside. Therefore, after record
ing the vote on the main question, 1t
was Ordered, That the Declaration
be authenticated and printed; That
the COMMITTEE appointed to prepare
the Declaration, superintend and cor
rect the press, That copies of the Dec
laration be sent to the several Assem-
blies, Conventions and Committees, or
Councils of Safety, and to the several
