SCHWAB PREDICTS
BOOM IN BUSINESS
Country on Eve of Great Period
of Prosperity, Says Steel
Man.

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.--The nations
of Europe have placed contracts in
i the United States Tor more than $780,,
| 100000 worth of supplies since the be-
i ginning of the war, according to
Charles NJ. Schwab. president Of the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation, who re-
turned yesterday from England
aboard the steamship Lusitania. Mr..
Schwab predicted that for this reason
the United States was now at the
threshold Of the greatest period of
prosperity 1t has seen in many years"
Mr.. Schwab, who sailed for Eng
land less than a month ago, admitted
that the purpose of his trip was to
cancel provisional contracts he had
made with the British government
for the building Of submarines. This
he had done, he said, after having
been advised by Secretary Of State
Bryan that for an American conceln
to. supply submarines to any of the
helligerent nations would be a viola
ton, both in letter and in spirit, of
the neutrality laws of the United
States.
| The contracts which he had given
| up. he said, were worth more than
| $4,000 900, but he had been able to
| secure while abroad contracts for
| the supply of various munitions of
war. He declined to say with what
nation they had been negotiated
THE next big problem that the
United States will have to face, said
| Mr.. Schwab, will be the develop
] nent of transportation facilities in
order to handle the tremendous in
crease in manufacturing and COM
mercial enterprises.
! THE period of prosperity that l
! predicted on my last return from
Europe is about on us. The contracts
placed with American manufactur-
ing concerns by Europe call for de-
livery within the year, and I loo
to see a big revival of business in
! every line"
Mr.. Schwab, on his previous trip,
was passenger on the steamship
/ Olympic when that ship went to the
rescue of the dreadnought Audacious,
on his return he declined to confirm
or deny the incident, pleading that
he was bound as a matter Of honor
not 10 speak OF the incident in view
Of the treatment accorded him at
that time by the English govern
ment.
Asked If the Audacious did go down
his reply was. "It certainly did"

coast wherever racing men, river men,
army men and politicians gather, seY-
enty-nine years old today, is near

age and enlisted in the Union army

Fears for the Safety of
Normal School Girls in
BUS Drivers Rivalry
Special to the Evening star.

TRENTON, Dec. 24.-State Motor
Vehicle Commissioner Lippincott to-
day made public the correspondence
between himself and James Madden,
OF Paterson, secretary Of the North
Jersey Automobile Club, regarding
the rivalry that exists between chauf-
feurs Of passenger vehicles operated
by competing concerns between Pat
erson and Montclair, causing several
mishaps to one of the machines, and
which, Mr.. Madden fears, will finally
result in serious injury to the pas
sengers.
Commissioner Lippincott advised
Secretary Madden thar he has in
structed Inspector Sawyer, of his de-
partment, TO make an investigation
and report. He also will forward
copies of the Paterson mans letter
explaining the trouble to the rival
companies operating the busses and
instruct them that the motor vehicle
department will hold the managers
absolutely responsible if the situa-
tion continues, and that should 1t not
cease, the department will refuse to
license any driver from either of the
competing companies or for the COM
pany which appears TO be at fault.
In his letter Mr.. Madden told the
commissioner that the rivalry had
caused the chauffeurs to assault each
other and that there had been a COM
plant that the heavier Of the COM
peting busses, when out on the mar
row road, refused 10 give the right
Of way to the lighter vehicles, even
though the leading car may stop to
let a passenger on or off. and the
lighter one has no occasion to stop
other than TO avoid hitting passen-
cater to the Montclair Normal School
pupils.
