WORKERS ARE
SHAREHOLDERS

| Akron, Ohio, March 23.-An import
ant page of history in American busi-
ness has just been made by the Fire
stone Tire & Rubber Co., Akron, Ohio.
With the winding UP Of the books on
the plan of stock distribution inaug-
urated by H. s. Firestone. president Of
the company, the records show that
over ninety per cent Of the employees
Responded heartily to reimbursement
offer made. Out of 1880 employees,
1000 are now stockholders ia the
company. s-..s yss.-,-4 49,. .-.. ...E-. w.
l. This means that they are more than
profit sharers, as that term is gener-
ally used. The Firestone company has
shown its confidence to the extent that
every employee subscribing under this
plan Immediately becomes a registered
stakeholder and as such Is entitled to
all the privileges of a stakeholder.
For example, the stock allotted, ap-
proximately $4,000, 900 worth, was dis
tributed on the basis Of length Of SER
lvice-not on the usual basis OF salary
learned. In short. the. sweeper or the
shoveller got more than the high exc
cutive il he had served longer, up to
a period of five years. All who had
been employed over FIVE years were on
Ian equal basis. ...
The stock was sold, to employees at
500 per share. while the market price
Quotation is $145 per share.
/ The agreement provides that the
company shall hold the stock for five
years, after which time. IL all paid for,
the certificate of stock passes wholly
into the hands Of the employe. whether
he or she remains longer with the COM
pany or. not.
Rarely, If ever. have employees had
the same occasion for feeling their re-
sponsibility in 80 large a business be-
cause of their own personal interest
and the future interest Of their fami-
lies.
They have acquired stock which at
time of purchase Is quoted at nearly
half again what they will pay for it..
They have this stock in a company
capitalized at $15,00O,00 the certifi-
Ecate assets of which run over $34, 000,-
0O0. the surplus already listed being
SIS. 100000. All of which means that
they will profit not only through their
work in the future and the company's
further growth, but that they profit
through their good work in the, past.

fRv Review Leased Wire)

BERLIN, Feb. 5.-(Via LondOn)- The American embassy. which from ore o'clock today, ceased to be the American embassy, and metaphorical- hauled down the Stars and Stripes when Ambassador Gerard received his passports( will, after Mir. Gerard's de- parture, house the departments of the Spanish embassy and the Dutch lega- tion, which have been entrusted with the interests respectively of the Unit. ed States and Great Britain.
 Plans for the departure of Mir Gerard and his staff are still unset tied, it will perhaps be a matter of several days before they will leave Germany. The ambassador and Sec. retary Grew, with their families, will return directly to the United States. The attaches ana others who have been assigned by the embassy to look after the work connected with prison CTS and relief, will probably also re- turn to the United States. The other secretaries will be assigned to various European embassies and legations.

FIGHTING ]. $. IS
 LESSER OF EVILS
 DECLARE GERMANS
(Ry Review Leased Wire.O


 BERLIN, Feb. 5.-The morning newspapers treat the breach in diplo- matic relations between the United States and Germany as a matter of great gravity but all the editorials are calm and moderate. The avoid ance of insulting language and cut- ting epithets is especially noticeable. Most of the newspapers say the news created no surprise, some of them eX- blaming that this step was expected in view of President Wilson's message of last April and others that it was expected in view of the Presidents continual siding with the entente since the war began"
 All the newspapers strongly reject the imputation that Germany has broken her promise made in her note of May 4, last. laying stress upon the fact that Germany's promise was ex- sons success in bringing England toI an observance of the laws of nations. They generally assert that President Wilson persists in ignoring Germany's justification for her submarine pol icy, as outlined in her verious notes.
 A number of the papers adopt a re gretful tone over the wreck of the old friendship between the two coun- tries, which they say Germany risk ed only because her life interests were at stake. It is generally assumed by the newspapers that the United States will make an early declaration of wa against Germany, for they say the submarine campaign can hardly be prosecuted without the loss of some American lives.
 While the entrance of the United States into the ranks of Germany's enemies would be highly regrettable, the newspapers say the country mast meet this danger as the lesser of two evils. The danger of the UniteI States as a war factor is treated IS comparatively unimportant, owing to the remoteness of the area of war and the time that would be required tn create an army. The opiniol is cvinced in some quarters that the srb- n'arines will decide the war before the Unitel States cal take an ave hand.

PRESIDENT MAY ARM
THE SHIPS ANYWAY

WASHINGTON. d. c., March s.
Further action by President Wilson
in the German situation was post
poned today pending a decision by
his legal advisers whether he has
power to arm American merchantmen
in spite of the failure of congress to
pass a resolution comforting such
authority.
The question was referred to At
torney General Gregory and Secretary
Lansing and probably will be decided
in time for consideration at tomor-
rows cabinet meeting. the first to be
held in the new administration. The
inauguration ceremonies occupied
most of their time today, but men,
bers of the cabinet and other officials
find opportunity to discuss the sub
ject
A determination TO arm the mer
chantmen if a legal way to do so
can be found was generally apparent
While the arming of merchantmen
is the step most considered has the
right to convoy American vessels.
This course has been opposed by the
navy department, however principal
ly for strategical reasons.
Another step suggested to that the
shipping board take over American
merchantmen. arm them as naval
auxiliaries, and send them abroad.
The president has been inclined to
believe that certain old statutes still
inforce might prevent him from fur
nishing guns to merchantmen, but
some of his advisers hold that
broader and truer Interpretation of
these laws will show they have no APP
plication to the present situation.
Another name was added today to
the list of senators who signed
manifesto in the closing hours of the
session declaring they favored the
armed neutrality bill and would have
voted for it if given the opportunity
