 SUPPLIES FOR 5ELLIGERENTs.
Have Been Contracted for in the United States Since War Began.

New York Dec. 2S.-The nations of Europe have placed contracts in the United States for more than $300000,- 000worth of supplies since the begin ming of the war, according, to Charles M. Schwab president of the Bethle- hem Steel Corporation, who returned here today from England aboard the steamship Lusitania. MT. Schwab pre- dicted that for this reason the United States was now at the threshold of the greatest period of prosperity it has seen in many years"
 MT. Schwab, who sailed for England less than a month ago, admitted 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 advis- ed by Secretary of State Bryan that for an American concern to supply submarines to any of the Belligerent nations would be violation 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 $15,000, ,00O but he had been able to secure while abroad contracts for the supply of various muitions of war although he declined to say with what nation they had been negotiated.
