soy BEANS GOOD IOWA CROP.
Fill Special Place in the Corn Belt
Rotation,

Soy beans have special place to
fill in the corn belt rotation, say the
farm crops men at Iowa State College.
When red clover seeding fails to
catch or when the young crop Is VIM
ter killed. and such cases are very
common. the land may be fall or spring
pIowed and soy beans planted in May.
They give an excellent crop either for
green manure to be plowed under or
for hay or seed. A break in the rota-
ton is thus avoided. -
AS the soy bean is comparatively
new in Iowa, incubation will be nee
essary in most places for a good crop,
The farm crops department Is Offering
seed and incubation material for a
test to farmers who will complete the
test and report results. Two plots of
lilo acre are required for the test, the
object of which is to determine the
exact value of the soy beans as an
Iowa crop and the need OF incubation.

POSSESSION OF THE VILLAGE or
PoZIEREs PLACES PLATEAU
UNDER BRITISH GUNS.
STRONGHOLDS ARE REDUCED
Following Official Announcement From
London and Berlin Of the Capture Of
Town, British War Office Reports No
Further Fighting.

London, July 28.-Following official
announcement both from London and
Berlin Of the capture of the important
village OF Pozieres, the British war
Office reported in It's statement that
there was no further fighting Of any
consequence. This Is taken to mean
that the Germans either have been I'M
tack or do not contemplate any.
The capture of Pozieres came after
four days of terrible fighting from
house to house In the little village.
There Is scarcely house In the VII
lage In which death has not been dealt
or received. The capture Of the posi-
ton was entirely the work Of the Aus
tralians. 1t was their first big effort
on the western front.
The possession gives the British
troops domination of the highest point
overlooking the plateau on which the
German lines extend to the eastward.
The British are now busily CONSOLE
dating the position. Elsewhere on the
British front there were only artillery
duels and local fighting.
The British secretary Of war, David
Lloyd-George. in published state
ment, shows the Importance the Ger
mans attached to the retention OF
Pozieres by quoting from German
divisional order issued at Contalmai-
son on July IL, as follows:
Furthermore, the conversion OF VII
lagos into strong points Is Of the great
est Importance. Such villages are
Pozieres, Contamination and the two
Bazentines and Longueval."
Secretary Lloyd-George points out
that with the capture Of Pozieres the
last of these villages has fallen into
the allies hands. He further points
out that the German claim Of the re-
pulse of an attack on Trones wood
must be a clerical error, as Trones
wood has been in British possession
since July IA.

TO GET FOREIGN PAY
BOYS ON BORDER TAKEN CARE
OF. BY SENATE.
Adds $12,0oo,ooo to Increase Soldiers
Remuneration by 20 Per
Cent.

Washington. July 2S.-More than $12.-
100000 was added to the appropriation
for the pay of officers and men in the
United States army and National
Guard as the result Of the adoption OF
an amendment to give every one serv-
ing along the Mexican border foreign
pay"
Under the existing law, soldiers In
the United States army receive 20
per cent additional pay while serving
on foreign soil. and the commissioned
officers receive 10 per cent additional
for such service.
The amendment introduced by Sena-
tor James A. Reed Of Missouri. and
adopted by the senate without roll
call, gives all officers and men In the
United States army as well as the Ma
tional Guard foreign pay regardless of
whether they are serving on the north
or south side of the international Dor
der.
AS originally drawn the Illinois
camps would have benefited equally
with those along the border, but the
amendment was changed in such a
way as to apply only to those doing
border duty.
That the war department believes
with General Organ OF the New York
National Guard that the militiamen
will eat their Christmas turkey on the
border this year instead of at their
homes, was admitted by high officials
and the senate adopted an amendment
to allow the milltiamen to vote while
In their camps away from home. The
three ranking officers are to act as
judges Of election and an enlisted man
Is to act as the clerk of election.

Cleveland, o., July 27.-At least
twenty men are known to be dead and
a dozen injured as result Of an ex-
piosion of gas In a water works tunnel
under construction between a pumping
stationOon land and an intake crib
five miles out In Lake Erie.
The men were working so feet be-
low the bottom of the lake, which
Is 20 feet deep at that point, placing
them 40 feet below the surface. They
were loo feet shoreward from the
crib. The explosion came as the tun-
mel workers broke through gas vein
with their picks and shovels and the
fumes ignited from electric sparks.
The night shift had returned to
work after three days lay-of be-
cause gas fumes had been discovered
md tests were made to ascertain the
safety of further work.
Although suspicious odors had been
noticed for several days and work had
been halted the men were permitted to
enter the tube without helmets or 9TH
er means Of safety.
At eight o'clock IL men descended
the shaft. An hour later workmen on
the surface detected gas and attempt
ed to signal the men In the tube. Re-
ceiving no response they sent rocket
signals into the air to attract life
savers on shore, there being no other
means of communication. 1t was al
most midnight before aid reached the
scene and then a rescue party was
quickly formed which made the de-
scent. OF this party Of IL rescuers
seven succumbed to the fumes, the
original IL having persisted.
After the first rescue party had met
the same fate as the IL workmen, no
more men would volunteer to aid In
the rescue work until helmets could
be procured. There was considerable
delay In getting helmets and not until
after daylight was the rescue work
taken up by men properly equipped.
