LUXEMBOURG SUFFERS
~ UNDER GERMAN YOKE
It Is, Said That 5000 of Its Citi-
zens Have Fought in Frances
Foreign Legion.

LONDON. July 81 British Wireless
Service).-The whole world understands
end appreciates the tragic position of he
roic Belgium and Serbia and all the al
lied peoples have deep sympathy for
Runnania and Montenegro, but only scant
attention has been given to the bitter
lot Of the people Of Luxemburg.
For four years now the citizens Of
Luxembourg have lived isolated under
the yoke Of German military domination.
it is said there are 5000 Luxemburg
volunteers in frances Foreign Legion,
and that they are gallant fighters on the
side Of Justice and humanity. E
1t is true that Luxembourg has not
faced the cruel devastation wrought by
defensive fighting against the German
iegions on their own soil. but war has
come by air, and just as it has been
necessary for the entente allies to bomb
German billets in Belgium and French
casion to bomb Luxemburg and with
deadly effect.
Naturally the German propagandists
in Luxembourg, as in Belgium, have tried
to arouse hostility against the entente
by exploiting the air raids. But again,
as in Belgium, their efforts have proved
singularly unsuccessful. The Luxem-
burgers persist. in spite Of all propa-
ganda, in regarding the German In
Sader as the real culprit; they .recog.
nize clearly that Luxembourg is raided
because the German is there.
Protests by the Luxemburg parlia-
ment and government against Germany's
action in placing anti-aircraft guns
around Luxembourg have been .unavail-
ing.

reasons for the action taken. l stated:

of all the conditions forced your dt-
rectors unanimously to the conclu-
sion that to serve the best interests
of the stockholders, the excellent
physical condition and financial sta
bility of the company and the present
high standard of service now main
tanned should be continued, even at
the cost of a reduction in the rate OF
dividend. With the improvements in
general condition now expected and
foreshadowed. the return to per
cent basis may be confidently expect
ed
The hope then expressed OF the
coming of an improvement in condt-
tions which would enable US to re-
turn to a. per cent basis is. and has
been for now nearly two years. find
ing its fulflllment in fact.

ceipts. enabling the company to ma
terially increase the wages of Its em-
ployes. to make adequate appropria-
tion to depreciation reserve. and to
provide for other large increases in
operating costs due to war time
prices. and at the same time. after
additions to its surplus, to declare an
extra. dividend to stockholders.
THE favorable conditions noted:
continuing during the first half of
1918, have enabled the company to
stiil further increase the wages of all
employees, to properly care for depre-
citation and surplus. and to feel that
1t can, with confidence, resume divi-
dends to stockholders on the per
cent basis.
The first and second quarterly divi-
dends for 1918 having been declar-
