NATIONAL CITY BANK

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-It became
known last night that on Christmas
Eve two German clerks in the foreign
exchange department Of the National
City Bank were forced to resign. The
occurrence was said to mark the he
ginning OF a systematic effort on the
part of the bank to rid itself of num-
Der of Germans IN its employ-not neces-

clerks are withheld by the bank, but It
has been learned one lives in Brooklyn.
while the other has residence in West
1O9th street.
The clerks were charged with failing
to notify the bank and the National
Surety Company, which went on their
bonds, Of a change in their places OF
residence. One clerk moved twice with
in year, and the other once, without
notifying either the bank or the surety
company. One of the clerks had been
employed at the bank for five years. the
other for three years. Both are pc
culIarly fitted for the work in the for
eign exchange department, because OF
the large amount of business transacted
with German banking houses and banks

GERMAN BID FOR BIG
FACTORY IS BLOCKED
Seventeen. Million Offered for
Bridgeport Cartridge Plant.
Banker ForfeitS Million.

NEW YORK, Dec 26.-Full details Of
an effort that was made in the interest
of Germany to get control of the Union
Metallic Cartridge Company, of Bridge
port, Conn, have been filed with the
Government in washington. The Ger
man interests who sought to get CON
troll of the munition plant bid as high
as 81, ,O00, 900, and the deal was about to
be closed at that figure, when a certain
banker. whose name is withheld by
the Government authorities blocked the
transaction. BY so doing this man. 1t Is
estimated, lost between $l,OO0,OO0 and
81, ,0OO, 900.
The man who acted as the represen-
tative of the German interests is a we'll
known New York broker. According to
the report filed with the Government the
price at which the factory was about Ia
De sold was more than twice its real
value. The fact that German interests
were behind the scheme was not dis
closed until near the end of the nego-
tiations, and 1t was the discovery of
this fact that led 20 the blocking of the
sale by man who had been asked to
join in the deal
1t was said that there was reason to
believe that had the Germans succeeded
in gaining control of the plant it was
their plan to reduce wages to such an
extent that a ::trilIe would ensue, after
Wnlch lney Woulu use that strike as n
club to force sympathetic strikes in
other plants engaged in filling war or
ders for the allies.
One man who is understood to have
been much interested in the effort to
buy the Bridgeport plant Is a prominent
German now in this country. He was
one of the last persons that Captain vor
Papen, the recalled German military at.
tache, called on prior to his departure
for Europe last Wednesday,
1t. was reported yesterday. but not
verified from an official source, that the
matter of the Union Metallic Cartridge
Company may be laid before the De.
partment of Justice for further investi.
cation.

Some Advantages OF The Soy Bean
Over Cow Peas AZ a Soil
Impreser.
NICHOLAS sCHMITZ,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station


Since the soy bean Is coming into
prominence In this State many farm
ers are beginning % ask the question.
"Is IL better to grow soy beans or
COW peas?y
Which il best depends upon the soIl
and the climate and the purpose for
which the crop Is grown. Soy beans
can never take place OF COW peas on
poor, sandy soil. For this soil nothing
has yet been found equal to the COW
peas. On the heavier clay soils OF the
State soy beans are ordinarily better
suited than the COW peas.
Soy beans will yield as much or
more hay per acre than the COW peas.
and the quality of the hay is better on
account Of the soy beans retaining
their leaves much better than the COW
peas in the curing. Soy bean hay also
cures much more rapidly than COW pea
hay and Ii damaged less by rain.
Another advantage OF the soy beans
is that they viii yield anywhere from
10 to IS bushels OF seed per acre. which
can be harvested and threshed with
the same machinery and as easily as
