 THE UNITED STATES
Warning Nations Have Placed Orders for More Than $500 100000 Worth of Supplies Since Beginning
 of Struggle
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcH1

NEW YORK. Dec. 23.-European United States for more than s300,- 100000 worth of supplies since the be- ginning of the war. according to Charles NJ. Schwab, president of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, who has returned from England Schwab pre- dicted that the United States is now on the threshold of the greatest pc riod of prosperity seen in many years
 He admitted that his trip was for the purpose of cancelling contracts for submarines with the British gov ernment.
 He said he had done this after Bryan advised him that it would be a violation both of the letter and spirit of neutrality to supply sub marines to any of the belligerent na : tions. On his previous trip Schwab was a passenger of the Olympic when she went to the rescue ot the dreadnaught Audacious. Then he re- fused to talk, saying he vas bound dS q matter oi llOiiOl. <A'NNN' bONsoS @> the Audacious went down, he replied: Tt certainly did
 The contracts which he had given up he said, were worth more than slb,- 00O, 900 but he has been able to secure while abroad, contracts for supply oi various munitions of war although he declined to say with what nation they had been negotiated.
 The next big problem that the United States will have to face saio Schwab, will be the development oi , transportation facilities in order tt handle the tremendous increase il
 manufacturing and commercial enter prises.
 "The period of prosperity that I pre- ] dicted on my last return to Europe il about upon us. The contracts ar' 1 placed with American manufacturins concerns by Europe for delivery within |, the year and I look to see a big revi 1 val in business in every line"

BERLIN BUSINESS

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

BERLIN, Dec 23-The business sit uation in Germany has undergone considerable improvement since the first month or two of the war Outward signs of this are visible in Berlin. where more trucks laden with boxes of goods are moving about the city Christmas shoppers keep the big department stores well filled.
 Many ready made clothing shops for which Berlin is famous, are now producing army uniforms, overcoats and other garments for troops Throughout Germany, also many con- cerns are running exclusively on big army contracts for woolen goods blankets. tent cloth, raincoat cloth. and of course, arms and ammunition are produced on an enourmous scale.
 The improvement of business here has to a great extent relieved the non employment that assumed serious dimensions by the end of August. Already at the end of october the labor unions of the country were
  without work had dropped to less than half the number at the end of August In greater Berlin the num- Der of persons having steady em- ployment was 100000 greater at the middle of November than at the first of September
 Buyers still show a tendency to make large purchases, and unusually attractive window exhibits of Christ mas specialties have not been neg lected by the merchants. There is also by far less complaint about peo- pie out of employment. Many fac tories are supplying goods for which there is little or no demand in war time shut down at the beginning of August, but a considerable number of these are now turned into plants for other forms of production. chiefly for making army supplies of some kind.
 Curious changes of this nature are mentioned Thus making a machine factory busy trimming sharpnel shells and a piano factory into one making cartridges, bicycle factory turns out bedsteads for military hos pitals and a sewing machine factory producing shrapnel.

KING ALBERT |S GRATEFUL
 FOR AMERICAN RELIEF WORK
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH


 GRAND HEADQUARTERS OF THE KING OF THE BELGIANS, West Flanders, Dec. 23.-In the council chamber of the ancient Flemish town hall from which he is directing, under the German shell fire, the resistance of his war-torn little army, blocking the road to DunEirk and Calais, King Al bert told the Associated Press of the stand his soldiers are making against the German invaders The kings head quarters are located on the only re- maining dry areas of that small corner of Belgium left under his rule. The king also requested the Associated Press to convey to the people Of the United States his deep gratitude for their efforts to feed his subjects now under German military rule. He praised his soldiers and expressed the modest belief that the shattered little Belgian army had saved Dunkirk and Calais at the battle of the Yser. He expressed the belief that before the war is over he would return to Brussels at the head of his army.
 The monarch was alone when the correspondent was admitted to the council chambers not even an aide be- ing present. The kings tall, agular. Lincoln like form was clothed in the simple undress uniform of a general of artillery, which was without insignia, beyond the braided shoulder straps to distinguish him from a staff officer. Physically, King Albert looks hardened but lines of care show in his otherwise cidedly shy and he apologized for his English, which, however, was very flu ent
 The light from smoky oil lamp 1 barely penetrated the recesses of the great beamed hall. from the walls of which empty picture frames stared down.
 When the king saw the eyes of the correspondent fixed on the blank spaces where a few months ago an invaluable Flemish canvas hung, he smiled, and said he no longer expected the Ger mans even to be in a position to take | the frames.
 | He spoke of his soldiers with great kindness-as though talking of his own | children.
 T believe" he said, "my army is courageous. My people, however, are too democratic for the same discipline that prevails in the conscript of Eu- ropean countries. You will see some , thing of the bravery of my people 1 when tomorrow you shall have s chance to witness the peasants work ! ing in the fields under shell fire, con eerned only for the losses of theil

TURKS FEAR FURTHER
 SUBMARINE ATTACKS

ASSOCIATED PRESS D1spATcHl

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23-Delayed Gdvices to the United States govern ment from Constantinople say that the Turkish officials regarded the loss of the battleship Messudiah, which was blown up by British submarine, as severe loss. The feat caused conster- nation in the Turkish capital, because of the fear that more submarines would penetrate the Dardanelles in the future.
 The Turkish officials, according to the same advices, have been much per turbed about spies. They claim that every time Turkish fleet enters the Black Sea the Russians are immedi- ately aware of the movement, and send a stronger force to drive the Turkish ships back irto port.

OFFENSIVE TAKEN
 BY ALLIES IN WEST
Few Advantages Gained, But Fighting More In tense Than at Any Time Since Opening of Hos tilities
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIspATcH1

LONDON, Dec. 23-The allies in the west, the Germans in Poland and the Russians in east Prussia and Galicia continue their offensive oper- ations but the advances have been so slight as to be almost imperceptible- In the long run, however the ground which is being taken may prove vital, as the various armies are fighting with an intesity which has not been exceeded since the war be- gan. In Poland the center of inter- est has shifted slightly to the south. Finding the direct road to Warsaw blocked by Russian achievements, the Germans made an attack from the southwest, and have reached Skierniewic which is some forty miles from the Polish capital They have thus far failed to pierce the Russian line but have forced the Grand Duke Nicholas force to with draw from before Cracow In this one of the chief aims of their of fensive against Russia. the Germans have been successful.
 In Galicia Russia has resumed the offensive against the Austro- German forces which poured in from the west, across the Carpathians. According to the latest Petrograd report, the Rus sians inflicted heavy losses on these forces. while in the north they pur- sued into the interior of East Prussia the small German army which made feint, at Warsaw from the northwest Although the allies have scored some successes in battle in. the west, they are meeting very stubborn resistenance and military men warn the public that a very heavy casualty list must be
