S0IL REGULATION
 MAKES GOOD YIELD
In Growing leeunoes 1t Is Well to Know Whether Proper Bacteria Are Present in the Soil.

The beneficial effects of growing le gumes on poor soils have been recog- nized from the earliest days of agri- cultural history. For this reason there has always been a tendency to grow legumes especially in older farming regions.
 Investigate Bacteria.
 In growing legumes it is always per tinent to know whether proper bae- teria are present in the soil so that the legume can take part of its supply of nitrogen from the air and not entirely from the soil. No one can tell this until the legume is tried. By digging up the plant by the roots and washing the soil away with water the nodules, if present, can easily be found. If these are not present the lesume plant cannot take nitrogen from the air.
 Methods of inocuIation.
 When growing certain legume on a soil and especially in a community where it has never been grown there 10 al" dNS d CudDcS IIdI 4fIlUCldl ll- oculation may be necessary Two methods are commonly employed. One Is known as the soil transfer method Here soil at the rate of 200 to 5o0 pounds to the acre is taken from an old field where the legume has been growing, and the bacteria are known to be present, and scatter over the field to be planted. With the other method pure cultures of the strain of bacteria suited to a certain legrlme are made. Such cultures are made by certain commercial concerns. or may be secured in limited quantities tree of charge by writing to the United States Department of Agriculture Washington. D. c. Although soil in oculation is likely to be the more cer tain. the pure cultures can be useG to good advantage where inoculatot soil cannot be secured.

TURKISH SUBMARINE
HELPS OUELL PANIC
Passengers on British Liner
Leap Into Sea When Plunger
Suddenly Appears.

New York, Nov. 30.-Eleanor Frank.
lin Egan. an American writer who has
spent the past six months in the near
east, returned yesterday aboard the
British passenger ship Barulos and
gave the first news of of submarine
incident in the Mediterranean. A Turk
fsh submarine. she says, stopped the
Barulos and, after 20 persons had been
drowned in the panic which ensued,
helped TO rescue many of the $50 pas
sengers who had gone overheard.
When tie submarine fired across the
bows of the Barulos to stop her, Mrs.
Egan said, a wild panic occurred
among those on board. The passengers
and crew made headlong dash for the
boats women threw their children into
the sea and leaped after them. Fright
ened sailors cut the ropes holding the
boats. Three OF the six boats were
swamped and emptied of their human
loads
Within few minutes the submarine
came alongside. An officer, whom Mrs.
Egan took to be an Austrian, was in
command.
"Fpr Gods sake, go back to your
ship: we are not murderers!" Mrs,
Esan said he shouted to the struggling
people in the water. The submarine
then assisted in rescuing the fear
crazed humans, but only after a score
OF them had persisted. The liner was
then permitted to proceed.

CATHOLICS MISTAKEN
TUMULTY TELLS Them
Wilson's Secretary Defends
Recognition of Carranza
and Denies Charges.

Washington, Nov. 30.--The admins
tration's replay to those who criticise
the RECOGNITION of the CarranZa gov
eminent in Mexico because of charges
of outgrages upon priests and nuns Of
the Catholic church was made public
here in a letter by Secretary Tumulty
to DR.. James ]. Mcclure, of Trenton, n.
J., who recently wrote to the White
House asking for an explanation Of
what he characterized as widespread
criticism"
Secretary Tumulty advised DIR. Nc
Guire that the files of the state de-
parlment failed to disclose any Off
cial record of a single proven case Of
outrage upon nuns. and he included in
his letter statement by the Catholic
vicar general at Mexico City, which
while disclosing the shooting OF priests
and the expulsion and Imprisonment of
others, declared there had been no
violations of nuns in that district.
Secretary Tumulty said in all wars
the horrors Of the conflict have been
kept alive by teiose on the losing side,
but that it should be the duty of ali
citizens Of both the United States and
Mexico to contribute in every manner
to the early rehabilitation of the ma
ton so long torn by civil strife and to
avoid keeping open the wounds.
Emphasis was laid on the recognition
of Carranza by the Latin American
peace conference. All of these Latin
American countries, Mr.. Tumulty
nointed out, were Catholic nations.

NEGRO IS CONVICTED
OF NUMBERING WOMAN
Campbell Found Guilty of Kill.
ing Warden's Wife and
Must Hang.

Joliet. ILL.,, Nov. 30.-Joseph Camp.
bell, a negro convict, was today found
guilty Of numbering Mrs. Maizie Odetta
Allen, wife Of former Warden Allen in
the warden's apartments of the state
penitentiary here.
The verdict fixed the punishment al
hanging. It was returned after A
hours elaboration by the jury.
Mrs. Allen, a former musical comedy
star, was found dead in her bed in the
Wardens suite at the state prison or
the morning Of June 20, last, after q
fire, which was supposed to have been
started by the murderer to conceal hia
crime, was extinguished. Her skull
had been fractured and the testimony
led to the theory of murder.
Suspicion fell on Campbell, Chicago
negro ianitor. He was the last man in
the Allen apartments, and he testified
that an hour before the fire he took
Mrs. Allen the morning papers and re-
moved her pet dog for an airing. Allen
introduced the honor system into the
Joliet prison and owned a testimonial
of gratitude from the convicts. He had
befriended Campbell.
AS the law would not permit him to
live elsewhere and continue in office
he resigned as warden so that he would
not have to reside in his old quarters.

Greece, accordingly, was informed
that the allies not only wanted guar
antees as to the safety of Anglo
French troops from molestation by the
Greeks, but transportation facilities,
the right to plant mines along the
Greek coast and the use of additional
harbors as we'll as the withdrawal of

HOPE TO GET RID
OF TWODIPLOMATS
Washington Anxious For VoIun-
tary Withdrawal of Boy-Ed
and Won Nuber--German
Embassy to Protest.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 30.-Diplo-
matte circles await with interest the
protest OF the German embassy on the
accusations against Captain Boy-ed.
the German naval attache, in connec-
ton with the activities of German
agents in supplying German sea raid
ers In the early days of the war. The
embassy is said to resent the publicity
gwen Captain Boy-ed. inasmuch as Ii
is admitted by Secretary Lansing that,
SO far as known, Boy-ed acted within
the law. =.
1t has become known in Washington
that the government was hopeful that
Germany voluntarily would withdraw
Captain Boy-ed from the Washington
embassy. The same situation is said
to apply to Captain Won Nuber, Aus
TRAN consul general in New York. The
government has hesitated to demand
the recall Of these diplomatic represen-
tatives owing to the strained relations
existing between the United States and
Austria and Germany Official Wash
ington, it is said, would be greatly re-
lieved If their governments would take
the hint that, despite the legality of
any action Boy-ed and Won Nuber may
have taken, their presence has, in a
measure, aggravated affairs.
Just how strong the German en-
bassy will make it's protest is not
known. In some circles it is said the
note will go so far as to demand an
apology.
The embassy is particularly anxious
to determine whether Captain Boy-ed
was included by inference or otherwise
in the reference made by Assistant
United States District Attorney Wood
to the defendants in the case as rid
ing rough shod over the laws of the
United States, treating them as If they
were scraps Of paper"

BRITISH Poke FUN AT
FORD PEACE CRUISE
London Press Having Good
Laugh at Expense of Auto
Magnate.

London, Nov. 29.---"An advertising
scheme" is the general verdict in Eng
land on Henry Ford's projected peace
cruise.
Officials and the press do not seem
resentful of the American millionaire's
efforts to end the war, but they, are
outspoken in ridiculing his program
and a good many are equally free in
questioning his sincerity.
This really is the silliest idea" said
one man high in official life today.
People who associate themselves with
it will find absolutely no sympathy
with their plans among sensible in
dividuals in Europe-eXcept, perhaps,
among our enemies, who apparently
want peace.
Ford simply is an adroit advertiser"
In large type the Standard headed
its news article "Pro-German Peace
Cruise" and in the next line Of its cap
ton carried this announcement:

Vacancies to Be Filled.
Important committee vacancies.
mostly on the republican side, are to
be filled, as well as committee places
found for new democratic senator's.
House democrats are confronted with
a more difficult task because of the re-

lican membership. Not only are there
many democratic vacancies on most of
the important committees, but the in
creased republican membership neces-
states changing the party ratio on
nearly all committees to prepare for
the enlarged minority. There probably
Will be, however, few changes in the

tees.

London, Nov. 29.-Belief that the

Great Britain and Denmark, permitting
commodities to be reexported from
