New War Food
Made of Lupine
by the Germans
AMSTKKDA.M, Oct. V Germany i
threatened with a new war food called
lupine bread. To work a process for
converting the lupine, a leguminous
plant, into food for man and beast on
a large scale, a company has been
formed at Chemnit... Saxony, with a
capital of 3.000.000 marks.
The lupine was held in no particu
lar esteem until about fifty years ago.
when a German chemist discovered
a process by whit h the bitter taste of
the plant was eliminated and the vege
table fat anti albumen which it con
tains were made serviceable for hu
man consumption. Now a German
food export has taken Up and per
fected the old recipe. It is said that
lupine meal makes ijuite a palatable
anti wholesome ''bread." while the
refuse is excellent food for cattle. The
German government, it is announced,
is about to take the lupine cultivation
under its official wing.

Desired Justice
WASHINGTON. Oct H. Palestine
under British control is for the first
time in centuries enjoying the admin- -

made the following reply regarding I
the legal procedure In Palestine
"Palestine is under martial law and j
the courts are conducted in accord- j
unco with international usage In oe j
copied territory. His Majesty's gov-I
eminent, however, learn from many
independent sources that these courts j
are working to the full satisfaction of \

Palestine is now aide to obtain liupar- !
Mill justice from the authorities ad-j
