will be indispensable. They must BS
able to go into the interior and mar
ket their goods direct.
''In order to accomplish this the old
trade regulations which have been in
force in the past will have to be modi-
fed so as to permit foreigners to
trade more freely in the interior.
There must be cooperation among
western powers to get the Chinese to
agree to this modification. This is
the only way we shall ever be able
to compete on an equal basis. After
such modification has been accom-
plished, it will be up to the individual.
My idea is to have young trained men
on the ground capable of getting the
business.
"There are really great commercial
opportunities here in China, and it
looks as though this would be the
commercial battle-ground after the
war. If they are to hold their own
in this contest, Western nations must
prepare now for the struggle"

THE CALL

Clear comes the call DER the turbu-
lent seas,
Borne o'er the waves by a merciful
breeze;
Over their means and their walls and
their crying,
Clear comes the call of the wounded
and dying!
Is it for me?
Soft speaks Voice in my innermost
ear,
Tenderly telling me that call to
Soft speaks the Savior, my courage
supplying
Would you, My child, be My cause
denying?
Is it for me?"
Out of the depths of pity-filled
heart,
Formed into words that scarce
could impart-
Words which mean sacrifice-toil-
self-denying,
Clear comes the answer to that plea
replying!
1t is to me!

REGIMENT
FOR CHINESE EMPIRE

PEKING, April 3O.-(Correspond-
ence of The Associated Press "A
commercial regiment for China, com.
posed of young American business
men subject to war service, who while
serving their country will at the same
time form the skirmish line of an
American commercial army to invade
China after the war, is one of the pos
sibilities if recommendations by the
American Minister DR.. Paul S.
Reinsch, to the War and State Depart
ments at Washington are needed.
The idea of commercial regiment
originated with Major Arthur Bassett
Of the United States army, stationed
in Tientsn. His plan was suggested
to Minister Reinsch and by the latter
submitted to Washington for consd-
Grafton
"The idea," said Major Bassett, "is
briefly, to take young men with bus
mess experience or who expect to fol-
low a business career who are drafted
into the army and instead of sending
them to France organize them into
snecial regiment and send them to
China. These men could get their
military trainno here Just as thor
oughlv as elsewhere and at the same
time acquire a grounding in Eastern
commercial methods. They would re-
lieve troops now stationed here who
would be available for service on the
Western front.
"The North China School Of Lam
guages. which is already doing good
work in teaching the northern or Man
DARN Chinese has tentatively prom
ised to open a branch of the school
in Tientsin to teach American troops
as | have suggested. At the same
time ARRANGEMENTS could easily he
made for course Of instruction in
Chinese commercial methods and Ous-
mess opportunities. With a KNOWLEDGE
Of the LANGUAGE and with facilities
for observation which could be as
sured, each man at the close of the
war would become a factor for the
promotion Of American trade in China.
"In the past trading has been dore
from the treaty ports whence the Chi
nese took the goods into the interior
and marked them. The Japanese, how
ever, have more or less broken away
from this practice: they have pene-
trated into the interior and have made
it necessary for the old method of
confning operations to treaty ports to
be done away. If Western nations are
to compete for this Chinese business,

who speak the language and know the

BRITISH WAR BREAD
ENDORSED BY COMMITTEE

London, April 17.-(Correspond-
ence OF the Associated Press)-The
British war bread" has been vindi-
Gated and endorsed by d committee of
scientists after a series of tests con-
ductcd N the laboratories of Cam
bridge, Glasgow and London universi-
ties and IN a number of factories and
hospitals.
The committee finds that bread
composed OF whole wheat flour mixed
with 20 per cent of other cereals is
not only suited to all ages and diges-
tions, but also "gives a higher per
centage of energy"
The loaves used in the experiment
were baked from flour milled under
the personal supervision of A. f.
Humphries, president of the National
association of British and Irish Mill
ers. No precaution was omitted to
make the experiment complete, and
every result was worked out in a Sc
rieS of tables.
At one factory in Yorkshire, the
tests were applied to a group of 20
men, nine women, and two children.
IT was their sole bread supply for a
period of two months and they were
under medical supervision throughout.
In no case did it cause digestion trou-
BILE and in certain cases health seemed
to improve during its use.
When the mixed bread was tried on
twenty-five patients suffering from
tuberculosis it was found that the
bread was preferred by the majority
Of the patients, all of whom had more
or less impaired digestion. Most of
the patients gained weight during the
period they were under observation.
The report of the committee says:
1.-The main fact established in that
the human body can make better use
Of the parts of the wheat which have
hitherto been discarded than the pigs
end poultry to which these rich and
nut.icnt by-prOdUcts Of milling have
been given in the past. The country
has gained enormously in food and
energy from the compulsory inclusion
in the loaf of these by-products. The
gain can be expressed in definite
terms as increase of 1000 billion
calories of energy on the wheat milled
each year in this country, or enough
to extend the cereal supply of energy
for y,nro tbap month ~
