ever made BY an American concern
to workers in It's employ. The aggre.

among the recipients were about 800
men and women, not now in the EN-,
pioy Of the company. but were. at the
beginning Of the year and had been
laid on for one reason or another.
The money was distributed on the
ratio Of time worked during the year
and averaged about per cent Of the
yearly wage. The amount distributed
this year was considerably In excess
Of that Of any previous year, partly
because the company has about 1000
mere employees than II had d year ago,
and partly because Of the unusually
conditions that have pre-
vailed.

Saving Eastern Position

BERLIN, Dec 2S.The German for.
eign Office in estimating the proba.
bilities Of war in the far east, wires
that the attention at this moment Is
on Great Britain rather than Japan,
for it is recognized that Japan is only
waiting for Great Britain to give the
word before beginning hostilities.
A new and even portentious element
Of the situation as it is looked upon
here is the rising feeling in Great
Britain that Russia must yield or ia.
pan and Great Britain ought to fight
her. II is believed the British gov.
ernment looks upon war as possibly
the only means Of saving and re.es-
tablishing her position in the east.
