SCHWAb GETS
BIC CONTRACTS
FROM EUROPE
PREDICTS A PROSPERITY WAVE
IN UNITED STATES CANCEL
ED CONTRACTS FOR BUILDING
SUBMARINES.

New York, Dec. 23.--The nations
of Europe have placed contracts in
the United States for more than
| $500, 100000 worth of supplies since
the beginning of the war, according
to Charles NJ. Schwab, president OF
the Bethlehem Steel corporation
who returned here Wednesday from
England aboard the steamship Lusi-
tania. Mr.. Schwab predicted that
for this reason the United States
was now at the threshold of the
greatest period of prosperity it has
seen in many years.
Mr.. Schwab, who sailed for Eng
land less than a month ago, admit
ted that the object 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 concern
to supply Submarines to any of the
belligerent nations would be a vio-
lation both in letter and in spirit of
the neutrality of the United States.
The contracts which he had given
up, he said. were worth more than
5,000,0 900, but he had been able to

the supply of various munitions of
war although he declined to say
with what nation they had been ne
gotiated.
The next big problem that the Uni
ted States will have to face, said
Mr. Schwab. will be the develop
ment of transportation facilities in
order TO handle the tremendous in
crease in manufacturing and com
mercial enterprise,
The period of prosperity that
predicted on my last return from
Europe is about on us. The con-
tracts placed with American manu-
featuring concerns by Europe call for
delivery within the year and look
to see big revival of business i'll

Mr.. Schwab on his previous trip
was a passenger on the steamship
Olympic when that steamship went
to the rescue of the battleship Au-
dacious. On his return he declined
to confirm or deny the incident,
pleading that he was bound as a
matter of honor not to speak Of it in
view of the treatment accorded him
at that time by the English gov
ernment.

oS'''S ~
TO sketch even imperfectly the
history of so many distinguished
corps in brief space would be i'm
possible
The Eighteenth and Twenty sew =
enth, as was natural, began their
active service in Ireland; but the
Eighteenth was sent over,to Flanders
late in 1893, thus avoiding the de-
fcats of Steenkirk and Landen, and
arriving in good time for the siege
of Namur. They served with un-
common distinction in the mnsuc-
cessful assault on the Castle of Ma
mur in 1886 losing twenty-five Of
ilcers and 2Sl men killed or wound
ed, received for their reward the
privilege OF bearing on their colors
the Lion of Nassau and the motto,
"Nirtutis Namur-Censis Premium"
the earliest surviving honor of the
kind that is to be found in the army.
Returning from Ostend to Ireland
after the peace of Ryswick, the trans
ports which carried them were chas-
ed by "Sallee Rover" or, in other
words, by n Moorish pirate, which,
however, sheered off after closer
inspection and left them unmolested.
The Royal Irish returned to the
low countries with Marlborough in
1902. stormed Venloo-a mad but un.
successful advCnture-under "Sala-
mander" Cults, and fought at Schel-
lenberg and Blenhelm, losing 16j
officers and men in the latter action.
They were present also at Families
and Oudenarde, ana AT Malplaquet
they met and defeated their brethren
Royal Irlandais of the French ser
Wee.
Went Out 600, Returned 9.
Briefly, no regiment gained more
honor in Marlborough's campaigns
than the Royal Irish; and it is
chiefly from three of their officers
General Stearne, Captain Parker
and Sergeant Millman-that we de-
rive such inner knowledge as We
possess of Corporal Johns army. The
Eighteenth was in Garrison at Mi
norca from l71S till 1912, and mean
while. upon the outbreak OF the Span
ish war. the Twenty seventh was
sent 10 Porto Bello with Vernon,
and shared the usual fate of regi-
ments employed in the West Indian
seas in the Eighteenth century-anni-
hilation. We all remember how the
British were mad with joy over the
capture of Porto Bello, and there
are some who can say where the
sign OF the "Vernon's Head" is still
to be found on inns; but for the
Twenty seventh there remains only
the CHASTITY record, that it went out
Coo strong and came home nine.
At Waterloo. by singular chance
the Irish regiments were represented
only by the old Peninsula battalion
of the Twenty seventh. but won hon
or sufficient for dozen battalions.
They were under a terrible fire oil
artillery all day but were compelled
to remain in square on pain Of being
annihilated by the French cavalry.
It is said they never moved a step
aud never fred shot, and they
lost out OF sixteen officers two killed

Marty Kavanash used to have loud

The result is a quiet but wiser ball

Kavanagh's jump to the major leagues
was sensational
He was about as far down as q pro-
fessional player can be in the bushes.
At the end of last season Newark In

him anywhere near strong enough to

for almost nothing.

became known as tho original ginger

But Kavanagh did not keep Il up.
The yelling died gradually and now
Kavanagh is a peaceful player as far
as verbal contributions are concerned.
Some accuse him of having lost his
pep" Others say II was artificial, any
way.-Both are wrong.
When Kavanagh learned that he was

GUNBOAT SMITHSHOULD
DEFEAT CARPENTER IN
THURSDAYS BIG BOUT
Comparative Records Prove American Much Stronger Than
French Opponent Who. Has Beaten But One Heavyweight
of Any Prominence Whatever, Bombarder Wells.
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

America should triumph Thursda!
night at the Olympia in Lnodon ever
a. she failed on July Z, for Gunboa'
Smith should defeat most decisively
Georges Carpenter, champion of Eu
rope. Victory for the American means
a possible battle between him and JacL
johnson for the worlds title and, more
OF this account than any other, rins
enthusiasts on this side of the POND
are watching closely the preparation oi
both principals.
Even now Gunboat Smith is favored
by the shrewd betting men of England
They have seen the Frenchman defeat
their own hero, Bombardier Wells, and
yet they believe that the American
should win from the pride of Paris.
Entering the ring Smith will have
the advantage of anywhere from seven
to twelve pounds in weight. He is
taller, has a longer reach and Is
stronger than Carpenter. In addition,
he has shown in other battles greater
ability to assimilate punishment. For
these reasons is he the fayorite over
Carpenter.
Who has Carpenter ever beaten?
Remembering that he was middle
weight until this year. let's look at
his record. He put away Bandsman
rounds at Paris on February 1S. 1913.
He did the same thing to Cyclone
Smith, an American second-rater. on
March l. He stopped George Gunther,
an American colored boxer OF some
skill, five or six years ago. but II look
him sixteen rounds to do it
Then came the first battle Win

rounds seeing the Englishman hit the
floor to stay. Jeff Smith, another
second-rater, lost a decision TO the
Frenchman, but stayed the full TWEEN.
with Bombardier Wells. this time IN
London, didn't last a round. In NIFTY
seven seconds Carpenter hung II on
the shell-jawed Engiishman.
The best man Carpenter has met
this year is Joe Jeanette. the New
York colored heavyweight, who won
from the Frenchman without hait
trying in twenty rounds. There is
nothing startling about this record OF
Carpenter since he began meeting
light heavyweights.
Well, let's look at his work as
middleweight In 1912 Carpenter met
George Gunther, Willie Lewis. Frank
Klaus. and Billy Papke. The first two
lost to him in twenty rounds each. Klaus
beat him to a pulp and was awarded
the decision on a foul in the nineteenth
round Papke hammered him helpless
IN eighteen rounds. Against the rush
ing tactics of Klaus and Papke, Car
pentier could do nothing. They beat
