misunderstanding recent events
seem to have set at rest all idea of
war at the present time between
Japan and the United States, there
is little doubt that the situation has
been viewed by both governments in
the most serious light That Japan
in her diplomatic notes had assumed
a tone of arrogance, seemingly calcu-
lated to arouse American resentment,
is admitted, and the gathering of the
mighty fleet to carry the stars and
striSss to the far Pacific is undoubt-

dignified warning to the eastern en-

States has a limit.

Looked for War at Once.

When the announcement was made
that the navy department had de-
cided to send the Atlantic fleet to the
Pacific we'll known navy officer
was asked what, in his opinion, would
be the outcome of this oversee trans
fer of 16 battleships. ''The chances
are" he said, that Japan will seize
the Philippines and declare war be-
fore the fleet has been one week at
sea. The serious blunder was made
when the battleships that were sta
toned out there were withdrawn. In
stead of Withdrawing them the force
should have been gradually but I'M
obtrusively augmented"
These are the 16 battleships of the
Atlantic fleet which the government
will send around the Horn into Pacific
waters. The fleet as a whole is the
most formidable one that is now gath
cred under any one flag in any waters
of the world.

BRODA SOCIAL A SUCCESS

Ensley, January 10.-(special)-The en-
ployment bureau, which was opened sew
eral months ago at the Tennessee com
pany's Ensley plant, has done much to-
ward settling the trouble that they have
had for the past two years in keeping the
labor distributed among their different
departments so as to obtain satisfactory
results.
The trouble heretofore has been that one
department would have more men than
were necessary on certain days, and were
compelled to keep them on their roll in
order TO have them the next day when
they would probably need even an addl-
tlonal force. for in such plants no fore
man can tell what another days work
will consist of.
The system that has been installed il
one that has been IN successful operation
In one of the northern plants for a num-
Der of years. When a department is short
of men their wants are reported to this
bureau, and the men in charge know what
department can best spare the men to fill
the others requirements.
The bureau knows when a number of
new men are needed, and are meeting
with good success In obtaining them
through agents it has in the field.
Maj. r. B, Dodge Is in charge and has
the situation well in hand and it Is prob
able the employment offices Of the same
kind win be installed in connection with
the companys works at other places
