In War Supply Output
u. S. Steel Co. Can
Exceed All Germany
E. II. Gary Tells What Corpora.
ton Can Do for Government
in Case of Need

Ebert H. Gary. chairman OF the
United States Steel Corporation, made
a statement here last night showing
the possible output of his company in
supplies which would be required by
the government in case Of war. The
annual capacity of the Steel Corpora
ton alone in such supplies he esti-
mated roughly as being more than one
third greater in value than that OF all
Germany's in the same lines.
As TO whether this tremendous ca
pacity of the corporation could be made
available for the governments use Mr..
Gary said: Anything can be done in
case of need"
Mr.. Gary added that large part Of
the corporations product, as shown in
his statement, was already being used
by the government. While neither the
Steel Corporation. he said, nor any Of
It's subsidiaries manufacture arms, am
munition, submarines or other finished
instruments of war, they do manufact-
ure the materials and parts that are
used in their construction.
Among these, he stated, are armor
plate, navy and army shell forgings'
forrings and parts Of marine torpedoes
and special steel for rife barrels, gun
carriages, etc. The monthly capacity
of the corporation in the last named
materials, he said, is practically un-
limited"

Ford Would Lend
His Fortune to US.
Without Interest
Pacifist Worst Kind of Fighter
When Driven Into War,
He Declares

Henry Ford is willing to turn over
to the government not only his factory
and organization, but his fortune, es-
timated as at least 500, 100000 if war
comes. II he lends the money to the
government he will take no interest;
IL he lends the factory, with its $4,000
employees. he expects no profit.
whatever part the government
needs Of what I've got" he is quoted
by "The World" as saying, "the gov
ernment may have when it requires it.
And Che loan will be made without any
interest; there1l be no percentage, no
profit. / don't want TO make anything.
wouldn't take cent of profit from the
government under any circumstances.
"You can't tell about us pacifists.
Sometimes | think a paciist is like a
cat. II may seem a gentle creature that
you can fondle-an inoffensive, harm
less sort of thing. But back a cat up
in a cornc,--cr a pacifist-and you've
got the worst kind of fighter you've
ever seen.
"Now, don't believe in offensive
fighting. either for an individual or
nation, but if anybody attacks me or
attacks the United States. believe me,
I'm going to fight and fight hard. And
sometimes the best thing pacifist
can do is to help get fight over as
quickly rs possible
In the most matter of fact tone in
the course of a conversation touching
upon the resources Of his plant Mr..
Ford made the announcement about
his fortune.
"And the government can have my
money, too," was all he said.
He displayed great confidence in his
jitney submarines, each with one
man crew and carrying pill" Of ex-
plosives on the end Of a pole. His
factory could turn out every twenty
four hours 1900 automobiles, capable
of carrying ten men apiece. he said.

Britain Has New
U-Boat Destroyer;
Sinkings Decrease
Ten Ships of 1892 Tons Total
Destroyed-Rate Will Fall
! Further, Says London
By ARTHUR s. DRAPER
[nr Cable 70 The Trlbunel

London, Feb. S.-Although the ten
ships sunk to-day aggregate 2l,5O4
tons, making a total reported since
Sunday of about $4,000 tons, the
feeling prevails here that such rate
cannot be maintained. Several cir
cumstances tend to produce an opti-
mistic feeling, and the slump from
the $4,000 tons sunk on February 6
is particularly pleasing.
Assurances given in Parliament
yesterday by Bonar Law and Lord
Curzon have greatly relieved the
country of fears of an effective
blockade, while Lord Miners state
ment to Russian journalists was un-
usually confident. Added to this
there is strong reason to believe
that the British navy now holds a
means of combating the U-boat
menace which is likely to prove ex'
tremely effective.
1t is not expected that the danger
will be ended for days or even weeks,
but there is real cause to hope that
the nation has now discovered a sub.
marine antidote.
"The British Journal of Com
merce" takes a confident view of the
situation. 1t asserts that Germany
started the war with fifty subnra-
rines, and taking account OF those
possibly built since and destroyed
ard estimating fully fifty always re-
fitting and being restored in home
ports, it states that it is impossible
for Germany ever to have more than
100 operating, while even this esti-
mate is perhaps too generous by
half.
The outstanding fact of the situa-
tion is, that despite the present
losses, there is absolutely no sign
that the population here is in the
slightest degree disturbed.

Ambassador Refuses
to Sign Treaties Sud-
denly Revived
STILL DETAINED,
VIRTUAL PRISONER
Many Other Americans
Held Up, Pending Sail
ing of Bernstorff

Berlin, Feb. S.-The German For
eign Office last night asked James
w. Gerard, the American Ambassa-
dor, to sign a proposal reaffirming
the treaties of 1899 and1S12. The
Ambassador referred the govern
ment officials to Spanish and Swiss
Intermediates.
The treaties have reference to the
rights of nationals residing as mer-
chants in either country to continue
their residence there for nine months
for the purpose of closing up their
business.
Mr.. Gerard pointed out to Count
Montegelas, head of the American
section of the Foreign Office, who
presented the proposition to him,
that he was no longer in a position
to negotiate any diplomatic instru-
ment, Spain having taken over
American interests in Germany. He
suggested that way open for nego-
tiations was through the Swiss Le-
CATION, which is representing Ger.
man interests at Washington.
The matter is of decided impor-
tance to Americans in Germany,
since the German governments
course toward them, particularly on
the question of permission to leave
the country, will be materially af-
fected by the American governments
view of these old treaties between
Prussia and the United States.

German Fleet
to Face British
if U-BOats Fail
American Naval Experts Predict
Great Sea Battle Will
End War
IFrom The Tribune Bureau

Washington. Feb. s.-Naval experts
predicted to-day that Germany would
try conclusions with the British feet
if the submarine starvation blockade
against England failed.
They based their reasoning on the
belief that Germany's blockade was
undertaken as a measure of desperation
because the point of actual starvation
had been reached in Germany. Before
surrendering Internationally to the
Allies, however. Germany undoubtedly
would make a final supreme effort to
win control of the seas. they said.
Germany's failure with both her
submarine and her high seas fleet. it
was asserted, would enable the Allies
to command absolute surrender and
to impose their own terms.
