banking Institutions whose allied re-
sources are in excess Of $50, 900, 600.

Germ any's Movements In the Far East.

London, Jan. 10.-Further cause
for suspicion OF Germany's political
movements in the far East was furnish
ed today by the report that China and
Germany are soon TO form an alliance,
at least as regards the financial and
commercial explorations Of China.
The new combination of interests"
is said to be the result of America
refusal of another Chinese loan. This
refusal, coupled with other alleged
failures on the part OF America to take
advantage of the opportunities in China,
will, it is feared by English statesmen,
lead to cornering OF the Chinese trade
by Germany and Japan.
While Japan has interests in China
that arc considered paramount to those
OF other outside nations, it is believed
that she would be perfectly Wiling to
work with Germany in the develop
ment" OF China, each respecting the
