EUROPEAN WAR GROWS.
ROUMANIA JOINS ALLIES.

Roumania is the fourteenth ma
ton to join in the war. Her en-
trance either on the side OF the
Entente Allies or the Central
Powers has been awaited with sus-
pense by both sides since the be
ginning of the great conflict TINS
was due not entirely to Roumna-
MIA 5 military strength but also
by the strategic advantage of her
geographical position and the fact
that her entry into the struggle

the Bulgarians from the north
while the allied army, having a
base at SalOniki attacks them
from that position and from the
south.

described as one OF the most

lined armies In Europe but recent
information from Bucharest has
thrown some doubt ON its quail

Roumanian officers are I'LL train

lery and that her flying service Is
inferior.

The Olympic Club of San Fran cisco. definitely has decided to send its undefeated basketball team, which won the championship sf the United States during the exposition tourRa- ment last year, to defend it's honors lat whatever eastern point maX later be decided on for the holding of the. ltitular event.
 The team has been practicing re- igularly for the last two months and is said to have rounded into form which shows more speed and accura- cy than that shown when the premier lhonors were gained. Officials of the lclub declare that it is the strongest .aggregatiol of players that ever has represented the Winged O" organina- tion. Every member of last years team is playing again, while several new men have added materially to the strength of the combination. Con fdence is expressed by the club membership that the local clubmen will repeat their victory.

IGNORE CALIFORNIA
 LAWMAkERS' STAND
Notwithstanding Legal Disap- proval, Four Round Bouts ! Go Merrily On; Out and
 Out Pros in Ring Game.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15. - Not withstanding the fact that the voters of California expressed their disappro- val of professional boxing and voted it out of existence at a recent election. the professional four round promoters are disregarding the law and continue to stage the four roupd affairs just as of yore without any apparent disposi- tion on the part of the authorities to Interfere.
 Out and out professionals such as Willie Beehan, Willie Hoppe, Lee Johnson. Charlie Miller, Bob McAllis- ter, Frankie Jones and others have been seen in action at the regular weekly bouts which are staged every Friday night. If bona fide amateurs have boxed in shows at which these men have appeared, the Pacific Asso- citation of the Amateur Athletic Union has a big house cleaning on it's hands and the inaction of this organization is regard to the matter has been the source of no little criticism.
 It is the general opinion that in view of the favor with which boxing is held by large number of ring en- thusiasts, the authorities are allowing it to proceed as long as the public is willing to allow it to continue.

FOOD BLOCKADE HAS
 ONE GOOD RESULT
Calls Attention to Merits of Sofa Bean; Chinese Have
 Long Used This Food.

LONDON, Jan 15.-(Correspon- dence of the Associated Press. Dis cussion of the food blockade against Germany has served to bring attention to the merits of the sofa bean, to which is given up more than 25 per cent of the cultivated area in Manchu- ria Although the sofa is well known and highly regarded in Germany and the Scandinavian countries, and is now. the second on the list of China's exports, it has hitherto received small general reputation in the English speaking countries, and even the lat est dictionaries dismiss it with the brief description: An Asiatic legum- inous herb, Glycerine Sofa, the seeds of which are used to prepare the sauce called soy"
 Although the Chinese have used the sofa bea nextensively for at least two thousand years. the first important shipment to Europe was made in 1908, by a British firm. The Germans al- most immediately began to experi- ment with it and five years later were using the major part of an importa- tion estimated at over S2O0.0O0,OO0 d year.
 The secret of the sofa bean is its universal usefulness. A British gov ernment report gives the following list of sofa products: vegetable sood like marrowfat peas); soups; meat substitute; chocolate substitute; ma caroni preparation; flour artificial milk; cheese; coffee substitute; arti- ficial horn; biscuit and food for dia- bette patients; sauce; meal for cat tie; oils; oil-cake for fodder; fertili- ger; beancake."
 The same report points out that the

oil f-Cr' the bean is used in the man. ufacture of the following articles: dynamite and high explosives; soaps; linoleum; rubber substitute: marga- rine; paints; varnishes; toilet pow der; waterproof eloth; paper umbrel- las and lanterns; salad oil; lubricants. lamp oil; preservativo for sardines; substitute fo- lard"
 . The pod of the sofa is afoi;t two aches in lenghi and the plant has an erect tenn two or three feet high. There are three principal varieties of the bean-yellow huangton, green or ellington, or black or wuton. The vel low contains more nutritive ingre- dients than the oth s-s, and this is the variety almost exclusively used for export. The quartity of oil extracted from the beans runs as high as i9 per cent of the total weight.
 Sweden uses large quantities of the bean cake as food for milch cows: Denmark has large pressing factory at Copenhagen; France has factory built in Paris by Chinese firm; and South Africa has recently begun to grow the bean in expedition to the Manchurian farmers. Germany in 1912 rescinded her former import duty and Installed reduction plsrts for the Far Eastern vegetable product in all her ell mills. importing the beans directly from Vladivostok by the shipload.

JAP SHIPPING INCREASES

TOKIO,-As a result of the war the Japanese merchant marine has come to play a predominant part in the worlds shipping. The activity dis played by Japanese shipping has nev- CT been so remarkable as at present. this being especially the case with tramp steamers. No fewer than 130 steamers of this class are at present engaged on various foreign routes and the flags of Japanese merchantmen are to be seen almost everywhere on the worlds sea highways.
 The tramp steamers belonging to the Japan Shipowners' Union number a. bout 240 exclusive of vessels whose tonnage does not exceed 800 tons, and most of them are owned by individu- als. Of this number forty-one vessels are chartered by the Nippon Yusen Kaisha, the Osaka Shosen Kaisha and other subsidized steamship companies twenty are engaged in regular ocean voyages run by individual shipping firms; siXty-ceven engaged on coast service and fourteen large steamers are hired by foreign firms and mer chants.
 Except those engaged in the coast service. the majority of these steam CTS are employed in the ocean trade About S2 large steamers with tonnage exceeding S,O0O tons are engaged ir ocean trades ten on the Australian line

The Red Sox management has an- nounced its plan to conduct a train ing trip to Hot Springs, of only nine or ten days duration. Boston sport writers are coldly critical of the plan, pointing to the fact that frequent cold -northers" blow down Vapor Valley in manner to render the benefits of the resort valueless for the period of inclemeney It is pointed out that, in such short period, the bail players might not be blessed by any of the balmy weather essential for the spring burning out process.
 While most of the Red Sox players are still youthful, it is pointed put that there are several who would be benefited by a full course in the baths, atc. siThen again, it seems like rather eStravagant trip for such a brief period of training. Indications are thatsths management may be in fiuencedstoA change of policy. How ever, in the event that the plan goes through as first planned, the 1916 destinies of the present Worlds Champs will be awaited with even more training than usual.
 Here is the present greatest con undrum in baseball: Will Kauff be a great hitter in the National League?

Six months hence the answer will be told.

FOOTBALL CRITICS
 EXPRESS WONDER
Stanford Alumni Committee
 Is Strong for Rugby or As sociation Football; Other Colleges Generally Oppose.

In the fact of the unprecedented popularity of the American collegia 6 game of football during the past SC .- son all over the country, according U the statistics compiled by such na- tionally known experts and autho- i ties as Parke H. Davis and Walter Camp, followers of the game he-e were surprised at the opinion of tie members of the Stanford alumni coal- mittee to the effect that it was unal- imous belief that, ultimately, rugby and association football will be tke only styles played in America.
 This unofficial committee, compos- ed of six alumni, acting at the invita- ton of the student body, drew up a report of the conditions under which peace might be acceptable to both Stanford and the University of Cali fornia. The comment referred to was included in this report.
 A ten years trial has been given the Rugby game on the Pacific coast and, with the exception of Stanford and the University of Santa Clara, all the large institutions of leanring and a majority of the preparatory schools. have returned to the American coGo. The Stanford clubs of Los Angeles and Portland recently practically voted resolutions for the of Rugby in favor of the American game.
