STEEL KING RETURNS FROM
ENGLAND IN AN OPTIMISTIC
FRAME OF MIND.
Declares That Nations In Europe Have
Placed Contracts In the United
States for More Than 100000
600 Worth Of Supplies.

New York.-European nations have
placed contracts in the United States
for more than $500, 100000 worth oil
supplies since the beginning of the
war. according to Charles NJ. Schwab
president of the Bethlehem Steel cor
poration, who returned here Wednes
day from England aboard the steam
er Lusitania, MIR. 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 from Eng.
land less than a month ago, admitted
that the object of his trip was to can.
Gel provisional contracts he had made
with the British government Tor the
building of submarines. This he has
done, he said. after having been ad-
vised by Secretary of State Bryan that
for an American concern to supply
submarines to any of the ibelligerent
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
$l5,OO0,000, but he had been able to
secure while abroad contracts for the
supply Of 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" said
Mr.. Schwab, will be the development
OF transportation facilities in order
to handle tremendous increase in
manufacturing and commercial enter.

TIMELY WARNING GIVEN Off
GERS RESULTS IN ARREST OF
THE RiNGLEADEDS.
Forty Men Arrested and One Man
Shot by a Policeman, No One Of
Influence Being Concerned
In Outbreak.

Washington. "Details OF native up
risings in the Philippines. beginning
Christmas eve, were contained in
a cablegram received from Governor
General Harrison Sunday at the war
department and made public by As
sistant Secretary Breckenridge.
The report minimized the extent of
the trouble. but stated that small
bodies of Filipinos had assembled in
Manila and Navotas Christmas eve,
and at Laguna de Bay Friday night
and attempted to make trouble. AS a
result, forty men were arrested and
one man was shot by a policeman.
Governor General Harrison reported
that the disorders had been sup
pressed: that everything was quiet
and efforts we're being made to ar
rest the leaders. the chief OF whom, he
said, was believed to be man under
sentence of Imprisonment for homi-
eide. He added that nobody of any in
iuence or standing was concerned in
the movement; that 1t was small and
unsuccessful" and was connected with
the campaign OF Ricarto, who has
conducted a revolutionary propagan-
da from Hong Kong for several years,
appealing to the most ignorant
classes OF Filipinos."
Administration officials have re-
fused to believe that there was any
seriousness In the Philippine troubles,
but have watched the situation close
ly, because Of It's possible bearing on
the Jones bill granting more indie
pendence to the natives, which has
been passed by the house and ie now
pending in the senate.
The nationalist newspapers accuse
the other political parties of fomenting
the revolt, and they also hint that
some Americans we're concerned in 1t
in an effort to quash the Jones bill.
which contains provisions for a great
er measure of self-government for
the islands.
The authorities are in full control
of the situation and the incident Is
considered by them to be closed.

A storm of violent proportions,

Flanders almost to the German from.
tier on the allies right, Monday held
the opposing armies In leash. The
heavy fall OF snow that was driven
down in terrific gale upon almost
the entire war area acted as a curtain
which effectively obscured the view of
the enemy from the gunners and a
truce was enforced practically along
the whole front
In this territory the positions OF the
opposing forces remain virtually the
same as they have been for weeks
past.
In the eastern arena the official re.
ports indicate a similar condition SO
far as progress by either side is con
cerned Petrograd reports, however,
that between the Pilica river and the
upper Vistula the Germans are now
on the defensive.
The Russians also report the cap

announcements.

WARNING NATIONS
ARE GIVEN WARNING
AMERICANS INSIST UPON AN IN.
PRoVEMENT IN TREATMENT
OF AMERICAN COMMERCE.
Representations Made in Friendly
Spirit, But Notice Is Given
That Patience Of This Coun-
try is Exhausted.

Washington. United States
government on Monday dispatched a
long note to Great Britain, insisting
on an early Improvement in the treat.
ment of American commerce by the
British fleet. II gave warning that
much feeling had been aroused in this
country and that public criticism was
general over the unwarranted inter
ference with the legitimate foreign
trade of the United States.
The document, constituting the
strongest representation on this sub
ject made by the United States to
any of the befligerents since the out
break Of the war, was cabled to Am
bassador Page, to be formally pre-
scented to Sir Edward Grey. British
foreign secretary. Its preparation
was begun a month ago by Solicitor
Cone Johnson, Counsellor Robert
Lansing and Secretary Bryan, and
finally had the personal attention of
President Wilson, who reviewed Its
phraseology with minute care.
AS the detailed point of view OF the
which cargoes had been seized was
set forth in emphatic protests, most
OF which have gone unheeded, the
communication was couched In gen.
eral terms, including the entire sub
ject of the relations between the Unit
ed States and Great Britain, as affect
ed by the latter's naval policy, con-
sidered highly Objectionable by this
government.
Since France has adopted practical
ly the same DEGREES on contraband as
has Great Britain, the note is virtual
ly a statement intended for all the
members OF the triple entente.
The note declares at the outset
that the representations are made in
a friendly spirit. but the United
States considers 1t best to speak in
terms OF frankness, lest silence be
construed as acquiescence In a policy
which Is violating the rights OF Amer.
lean citizens under the laws OF ma
tions.
The document points out that com.
plants on every side and public criti.
cism In the United States hold the
British policy as directly responsible
for the depression in many American
industries, a situation the seriousness
OF which must be apparent to Great
Britain.

states, does not remedy the evil, as
the chief difficulty is the moral ef
feet OF British practice on American
exporters, who are restrained by 1t
: from taking risks or hazards which
in nc case ought to surround legiti
mate trade between the United States
and other neutral countries. Feeling
has been aroused on the subject to
such extent, the statement adds, that
the American government has been
compelled TO ask for definite informa'
tion MS to- Great Britain's attitude in
order that It may take such measures
as will protect American citizens in
their rights.
