Will PROBE REPORTED
SUBMARINE BUILDING
Daniels Hears Schwab Works Are
Constructing Submersibles for
Allied Governments.

In conformity with the policy OF the
administration to observe strict neu-
rality between the opposing sides in
the European war. and to enforce neu-
trality on the part of individuals and
corporations as far as it is in the
power of the government to do so. an
official inquiry is about to be made
concerning reports that are in circula-
ton that the Bethlehem Iron and Steel
Company is making submarines in
whole or in part for shipment abroad.
II will be recalled that some months
ago Charles VI. Schwab. head of the
bethlehem Company. following the re-
ceipt of sl00.000.000 order from the
allies. gave his assurances in writing
to the Secretary OF State that eumba-
rines then building in the Bethlehem
plants would not be delivered until the
close OF the war.
Announcement that the government
would make an investigation into the
truth OF the reports that the Bethlehem
company mad departed from this agree
ment was made yesterday by Mr.. Dan
i"ls. Secretary OF the Navy. Unofficial
Information has reached the government
that parts o. submarines arc being ship
ped from the SChwab plant at Fore River
to Montreal. and that the boats are there
being assembled for delivery in due sea-
son to England.
1t ~as pointed out yesterday that in
his promise to the secretary of State that
the Bethlehem company would rot send
submarines IN completed state TO bel
iiSerents during the war. Mr.. Schwab re-
served the right TO sell engines. pumps.
batteries. and other mechanical parts
that go to make up a submarine. In
other words he agreed not 70 complete
this type OF boat at any OF his plants
and government officials interpret the
agreement as preclud!rg the sale by Mr..

In Germany's handling OF the

IL strong evidence that a breach
was desired.
At every stage OF the affair. the
German foreign office has shown a
studied effort 10 avoid meeting any
OF the issues. course which. II not
shrewdly calculated. would have
been unbelievably stupid.
II am right In believing that
Germany has deliberately man.
euvered toward a breach with the
United States. then It will not be
long before that deliberately I'M
friendly act" will take place.
Another passenger ship, with or
without munitions In the hold. with
a mixed passenger llst Of Americans
and foreigners. will be torpedoed
without warning or search. and the
result will be war.

serve peace after the ultlmatum

deserve 10 be honored by all the
