WAR BOOSTS VALUE
OF STRUCTURAL STEEL

The plant of the Berlin Iron Bridge
Co. at East Berlin, once one of the
most important factories in Connectf-
cut, Will be torn down this summer
and its material used in what used to
be the chief activity of the company,
bridge building. The plant has been
idle. for several years, but the struc-
turaI steel of which the framework of
the buildings is made has become so
valuable since the start of the Eu-
ropean war that it has been found
worth while to tear down the build
fngs and use the steel work for other
purposes, rather than to let the build
ingS tsand in anticipation of some fu-
ture use.
The property is owned by the United
States Steel corporation.

Schiller, who pleaded guilty, receiv-

manner. In fact, he appeared to
feel relieved, for his one fear seemed
to be that he would be turned over to
the British authorities. Before board

of the ship it was so rough that it
would have been murder to have
made the crew get out in small boats,
as I had at first intended them to
do.
AFTER the roughness Capt. Bergner
could have taken charge of the ship
if he had had his wits about him. I
was in pitiabIe condition and hardly
knew what to do. I felt that the plan
had failed and SO tried to get back
to the United States, thinking I could
tell friends in New York what I had
done.''
