The World of Finance
EXPECT BIG IRON
AND STEEL OUTPUT

New York, May 23-That the
month of May promises the largest
production in twelve months of both
pig iron and steel ingots is asserted
today by the Iron Age, which says
there is no escape from the conclu-
sion that little steel can be had for
ordinary consumption this year.
Other features of the weekly review
are the statements that the govern
ment is urging extensions in the out
put of machine tools in order to sup
ply the new plant of Midvale Steel at
Nicetown, Pa, and the new plant of
the United States Steel Cooperation
at Neville Island, that a laTEs pro-
gramme of by-product coke plant pro-
duction has been launched under gov
eminent financial auspices and that
the proposed government fabricating
plant to furnish ship steel is about
to take definite form. The Iron Age
further says:
1.-THE sudden conference at Wash
ington last Friday between the Wal
Industries Board and leading stee
makers was continued by a joint
committee in an all day session il
ferences of opinion as to the ABSORB.
ton of the full steel output by the
government turn on the time factor
If all the steel in the surprising tota.
made up by the War Board can be
applied to ship, projectile, track, car
locomotive, farm implement, oil well
structural and other war uses in the
specified delivery period, there is NJ
escape from the conclusion that lit.

FINANCE CIRCLES
NO LONGER TALK
OF EARLY PEACE

In International financial circles
there is no longer AMI discussion as
to an early peace. Talk of that char
acter has been abandoned in promi-
nent American banking channels,
which have settled down to the aim:
a fight to the finish of German mill
tartsm.
There is a good deal of discussion
observed. with regard to the German
ization of Russia to the point OF
supplies ~of men as well as materials;
it beings apparently accepted that in
many parts of that country German
terrorism will be effective in fore
ing CONSUMPTION of Russians into GER
tain sections, of the Teutonic Armies
From what can be learned, there is
a concentration of effort upon the
airplane, tank and truck departments
of the American resources. The reas-
on for this is said to be conviction
that it will be through these "treat
'em rough" facilities that German re-
sistance will be overcome. 1t is ar
gued that if England can transform
its manufacturing establishments into
munition making to the enormous ex.
tent that has been done. America will
be able far TO surHass Britain, owine
to almost unlimited natural resourc-
es.
There is evidently little confidence
in these high financial circles, how
ever, that the real effect of American
force can be effectively exerted inside
IL to Is months from the presen
time.

TO Get
IRISH RECRUITS
Are ADOPTED

Dondon, May 23.-Part OF the plan
for voluntary recruiting in Ireland,
the Dublin correspondent of the Daily
News says he learns, probably will
involve the complete reversal of an
old war Office policy. This will mean
the adoption of immediate steps to
form homogeneous Irish brigades or
Irish divisions in which all reason
able measures will be taken by the
use of Irish emblems and the observ-
ance of Irish customs to foster the
idea of a distinct nationality within
the empire.
The correspondent, however, pre-
diets that Nationalist civilians will
give lukewarm support to the plan.

Contracts for Rubber Rain coats Sent to France Results in Arrest of Fifteen; Army Men Involved
CRv Review Leased wlrel


 NEW YORK, July 22.-Extensive conspiracies involving bribery and graft. in connection with army con tracts for rubber raincoats sent to soldiers in France were disclosed to- night by department of justice offic- ials simultaneously with the arrest of seventeen officers and employees of fifteen manufacturing companies Tn New York and Brooklyn on charges of bribery, fraud and conspiracy.
 \ Officers of the corporations involved are under surveillance and probably will be arrested soon in Washington or other cities.
 Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of raincoat contracts are tainted with fraud already uncovered by de- partment of justice agents and other disclosures effecting army orders for clothing, soldiers equipment. machin- cry and supplies and involving arrests on similar charges may be made soon it was learned.
 Most army officers at whom the fin ger of suspicion points are of the low CT ranks but few of the ranks of ma jor and colonel are said to be under in vestigatiOn.
 Direct bribery of unnamed army of- ficers who had charge of letting con tracts or inspecting goods is charged against a number of those arrested to- night
 It was announced that in some cases manufacturers intimidated military or civilian inspectors of raincoats by threatening to use influence in Wash ington to obtain their dismissal if they did not approve the coats manufactur- ed. Others practiced fraud by secret. ly shifting rejected goods to other plants to which inexperienced inspec- tors or those who would play the game" were assigned.
 Those arrested were:
 Felix Gouled. a wealthy clothing manufacturer, who is charged with act ing as "go between" for other contrac- tors and with seeking to solicit con tracts under the illegal contingent fee system; Joseph Sydeman.

HUN CONTROL OF METAL INDUSTRY
 ENDED FOREVER
Alien Enemy Property Custo- dian TakesJOver Plants of Vogelstein & Co. and Beer, Sondheimer & Co.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-German control of the metal industry in Amer ica has been wiped out by Alien Prop erty Custodian Palmer in the seizure of the largest metal concerns in the United States with ramifications into South America. Mexico, and Canada.
 Mir Palmer announced today that he had taken over the business of l.. Vogelstein & Co.,, Inc, of New York City, with assets of more than 5000. ( 900 and Beer Sondheimer & Co. Inc. also of New York City, with assets of upwards of s5,OO0,OOO
 In addition the custodian has seized the enemy-owned interest in the Amer ican Metals company, controlling some fifteen companies in this country and South America, and StallfOrth & Co. of New York, dealers in silver bullion with capitalization of $1,OOO, OO0. F. Stallforth, principal stockholder in the latter company is interned at Fort Oglethorpe. Ga.
 It was revealed that the Beer Sond- heimer and Voglestein company for some years has dominated the metal market of the world and that they. with the American Metals company. controlled most of the principal metal and smelling companies in this coun- try, either by complete ownership of stock or by representation in the di- rectorates.
 Mir. Palmer's announcement said that the Vongelstein and Beer, Pond heimer companies had endeavored to cover up the German ownership of their assets by an AmericaniZing pro- cess undertaken after the war began, but that their ownership was only "thinly disguised"
 These two companies are believed by Mir. Garvan to have supplied Ger many with vast quantities of copper, zinc and other necessary war mate rials after the war began and they actively in this respect did not cease until after the United States entered the war.
 The business of Beer, Sondheimer & Co was founded in America by the firm of the same name but the Amer ican branch was incorporated in Aug ust. 1915. by Benno Elkan and Otto FrOhnknecht, who had operated the branch for the German firm and who did not make application for natural ization papers until early in last year
 Elkan and Frohnknecht claimed they had bought out the interests of the
