stein G. Koppel, of Pennsylvania"
According to the view in Washing
ton, the British governments action
means that these and the so other
American firms will. because of the
British control of shipping, be barred
almost entirely from the export and
import trade.
Coincidental with the British black
list comes the news from Berlin of
a determined campaign for a renewal
of unrestricted submarine warfare,
which would almost certainly involve
this country in a new crisis with Ger
many. The chief factors in the stu
alton are the diminishing of hopes of
peace through American intervention,
the failure of the United States to
bring about the end, or even a modifi-
cation of the Allied blockade, the
pressure on small neutrals by Eng
land, which it is declared, is converting
them into practical enemies of Ger
many, and the conviction that the
German navy, because of the recent
great increase in the number and size
of its submarines. can throttle" Eng
lands food supply.

Bethlehem Steel Co. May
Earn 100000 in Year

The directors Of the Bethlehem
Steel Corporation met yesterday in
New York. Based upon the showing
of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation
III the first half of the current year,
the estimate of $60,0OO,OO earnings
for the full year 1916, will no doubt be
realized. While no Official periodical
statements of earnings are issued by
the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, it
is believed they were around $30,-
100000 in the first half. The Bethle-
hem Company has sufficient war
business on its books to keep its
ordnance plants in operation to the
end of the year. and as earnings in
June are understood to have es-
tablished a new high record, profits
of $50, 1000, or over, for 1916 seem
to be assured. Bethlehem is now
shipping 1000, 900 shells a month or
at the rate of more than 10000 a day.
The Pennsylvania Steel Company
had been absorbed by the Bethlehem
and there will be no financing in
connection with the transaction The
railroads which owned practically all
the stock of the Pennsylvania steel
Company have taken bonds In pay
ment for their shares. The transaction
will necessitate no capital readjust-
ment
The question Of increasing the
capital stock of the Bethlehem Steel
Company is not a leading one with
the Bethlehem Company at present.
No change is now being considered.
Neither is any change in the rate of
dividend on the Bethlehem Steel con-
templated in the near future. The
Bethlehem Steel Corporation will
spend between $4,000. 900 and $15,-
C00,00 this year for new construc-
ton. AS the surplus available for
the common stock or new construc-
tion is expected to run far above 5000
share this year. there will be
plenty of cash left for extra distribu-
tions to shareholders if the directors
deem such action advisa BILE.
