BROAD STRUCT. Store lately Occupied by S. H. Kress & Co
supplles since the beginning of the
yesterday on the Lusitania. Mr. Schwab
president of the Bethlehem Steel Cor
poration, who returned from Kngland
yesteday on the Lusitania. Mr. Schwab
declared that as a result of this buying
the United States now has at the
threshold of the “greatest period of
I prosperity It has seen in many years."
To Cancel Contracts.
Mr. Schwab went to Kngland to can
el provisional contracts he had made
with the British government for the
building of submarines. Hr did this,
he said today, after having been ad
vised by Secretary Bryan that for an
American concern to supply subma
rines to any of the bellgerent nations
would be n violation of neutrality. The
contracts given up, he said, were worth
more tlie n $15,000,000, but he was aide
to secure others while abroad for the
supply of various munitions of war. He
declined to say with what nation they
bad been negotiated.
“The next big problem the United
States will have to face,” said Mr
Schwab, “will be development of trans
portation facilities to handle the tre
mendous increases in manufacturing
and commercial enterprises.
About On Us
"The period of prosperity that I pre
dicted on my last return from Europe
Is about on us. The contracts placed
with American rranufacturlng con- |
cerns by Europe call for delivery with
in the year, and I look to see a big re
vival of business In every line."
Mr. St hwnb, on his previous trip,
was a passenger on the steamship
Olympic when that ship went to the
rescue of the dreadnought Audacious.
He declined then to confirm or deny
the incident, pleading that ho was
honor-bound not to speak of It.
Asked today ,f the Audacious did go
down, his reply was:
"It certainly did.”
