BRITISH TRY TO KEEP GERMANS
FROM SECURING SOYA BEANS
(By Associated Press. J

Changchun, Manchuria, March 6
British efforts to prevent soya
beans from getting into the hands
Of Germans and the discussion in
the British parliament of the many
uses to which these beans can be
put in connection with the war, have
,attracted the worlds attention to this
city, the greatest soya bean market
in the world.
Before the interruption of the bean
trade by the war, the value of soya
beans exported from China was va
riously estimated from twenty five
million to forty million gold dollars
annually
Manchuria is the home OF soya
beans and nearly seventy-fve per
cent of the beans produced on the
plains of northern China are shipped

chun. The railroad north from here
to Harbin is under Russian control,
and beans going that direction are
transferred at Harbin and sent to
Vladivostok for expectation in nor
NAL times. The railroad south of
Changchun is under Japanese control.
and beans going out that direction
pass through Mukden and on south
to the port OF Dairen.
Few products of the soil have such
varied uses as soya beans In the
hands of the Germans who have de-
veloped its possibilities to its full
est extent, the soya bean would pro-
vide sustaining rations for soldiers.
food for cattle, and of great value
also for use in the manufacture of
dynamite and high explosives
Within ten years there have been
marvellous discoveries concerning the
uses for soya beans When the jap
anese overran the plans of Man
churia in their contest with Russia,
they first saw the possibilities of the
beans so universally produced by the
Manchurians. Experts on the extrac-
tion of vegetable oils from the value
of the bean oil, and practically all
the nations of Europe began an in
vestigation Of this marvellous pro-
duct, which had formerly been used
chiefly by foreigners in the manu-
facture OF sauce
Warehouses have sprung up on the
wharves at vladivostok and Dairen
which handle little else but beans,

FLORIDA HIGH SCHOOLS MAY
HAVE MILITARY COMPANIES

r. Washin gton, March 6.-The war
department agrees to furnish assist
ance to every high school in Florida
that desires to organize a company
for military drill and instruction
provided certain requirements are
met
These requirements have been
definitely outlined in a letter that
has gone forward to H. j. Church
man, chairman of a committee Great
ed to introduce military tactics in
the schools Of SPRINGFIELD, Ohio.
Briefly, the government agrees to
do two things:
l. II high school will organize a
uniform cadet company of forty
members the government will send
guns, ammunition and other equip
ent free Of charge, the only stipula-
tion being that the government shall
not have any freight or transporta-
tion charges to pay. That expense
must be borne by the school or by
local authorities that are willing to
pay for it
2. If the school will find one hun
dred and fifty boys who will agree
to take instruction regularly the
government will detail an officer on
the retired list to instruct them, the
officers to be paid by local subscrip-
tion at the rate of $3.50 year for a
first lieutenant and $3.50 year for
a captain The boys in this class
must all be over Is years of age.
The high school at Springfield took
the initiativei introducing military
instruction and the war department,
when called on for assistance, sub
mitted these proposals.
