GERMANY WATCHING BRITAIN.
Figures that Japan is Only Waiting

Figures that Japan is Only Waiting
for Britain to Give the Word.
Berlin, Dec. 23.-The German for
eign office in estimating the posi-
bilities of war in the far east fixes
it's attention at this moment on
Great Britain rather than upon ia
pan, for it is recognized that Japan
is only waiting for Great Britain to
give the word before beginning hos
tilities. A new and even portenIous
element in the situation as it is
looked upon here is the rising feel
ing in Great Britain that Russia
must yield Or that Japan and Great
Britain ought to fight her. 1t is be-
1eved that the British government
looks upon war as the only possible
means of saving and re-establishing
her position in the east

Beautiful Flowers.

Roswell eXcels not only in fruits
and vegetables. but also in flowers.
For anyone to be convinced of this
fact it is only necessary to look in
the windows at the Joyce-Pruit Co.
store where Mrs. Church has the
flowers grown in the Alameda Green
House on display. In one window
may be seen the choicest pot plants
and above these are the China bells.
In the other window there are cut
flowers which are beautiful beyond
description.

Peking, Dec. 23.-Two members
nese capital whose opinions regard
ing the .,re11nt critical condition of
affairs in the far east are probably
the most valuable are Japanese Min
lister Uchida and Sir Ernest Mason
Satow, the British minister to China.
1t is stated that both see only faint
prospects of war being avarted. Min
lister Satow was connected with the
British diplomatic service in Japan
for a quarter of a century. He is one
zof the greatest living authorities ON
Japanese history and literature and
is in constant communication with
the foremost statesmen of Japan.
He is quoted as saying that anyone
who imagines that Japan will not
fight for what she considers to be
her greatest interests does not
know the Japanese people.
Minister Uchida is an adherent of
Young Japan" hardy and has al
ways advocated war if necessary to
secure the evacuation of Manchuria.
Sir Robert Hart, director of the Chi
nese imperial maritime customs said
today that he feared China would
be the chief sufferer from war should
it occur. for she might be ground
between two millstones. The decad-
ence of the Chinese government has
never been more consDicuouSly dis
played than during these times when
her ministbrs go from legation to
legation imploring other govern
ments to help China, without any
thought of China helping herself.
There is absolutely no strong man
among the ruling ministers. WI
Ting Fang, the well known ex-minis-
ter to the United States, tells his
official friends that he despairs of
China's future. 81 see no hope he
says, "for China" Partition of the
empire sooner or later. is inevita-
ble."
