Boston. July 26.-Oswald Kunhardt.
formerly German and Austrian consul

fused to confirm or deny reports that
the arrest was connected with subma-

1t was admitted, however. informa.
ton in possession of officials indicated
the arrest was Of more than ordinary
Importance.
At the Office of Judd Dewey, assistant
United States attorney in this city, it
was said that Mr.. Kunhardt would
probably be interned for the duration
Of the war.
Since the internment of DR.. Carl
MUCK, director of the Boston Symphony
Orchestra, no arrest of an enemy alien
here has aroused so much interest as
that of the former CONSUL Up to the
time this country entered the war Mr..
kunhardt was a member of the Tennis

elusive organizations of Back Bay so
ciety. He was also active in business
aside from his consular duties, as the
representative of the Berlin Aniline
works. which controlled large part
of the business in German dyes in this
country. After the declaration of war.
Mr.. kunhardt resigned from the Ten
mis- and Racquet Club. He continued
his consular work for a time, repre-
sentlng Austria until relations of the

countries. This will affect shipments
contracted for by Japan and China
They will not get steel until every
shipyard here has enough to keep it
going to capacity, according to Mt.
Schwab. who explained:
"It has been my fault that any con-
tracts were made to ship steel to for
eign countries. This must stop If we
want to keep the spirit OF enthusiasm
among the shipbuilders. Every Iday I
am receiving petitions from them to
send them steel.
I'VE are getting steel at the rate Of
about $500 tons annually. That amount
would suffice II we had been able to
build up reservoir in each yard, a
sort of steel cushion. so to speak, on
which to fall back in emergencies.
Until we have such an accumula-
tion in the yards a larger figure Of
shipments will be essential There is
nothing to do but speed up and get it"
Mr.. Schwab returned from the Pa
cif1c coast chiefly to take up the steel
situation. complicated by the many de-
mands of the government, the allies,
and the less essential industries Of the
country.
He declared himself delighted with
his trip west. saying:
"The whole country is thrilled with
a patriotic impulse"
Reduced submarine sinkings in June
were declared by Mr.. Schwab to be
one of the most hopeful developments
Of the war. He pointed out that de-
hveries in June from American ship
yards alone equaled Is per cent Of the
tonnage sunk.
The big Hog Island yard. yet to
launch Its first vessel, was about 95
per cent complete. Mr.. SchwatT said.
and would be finished at cost of ap-
proximately s55.0o0,000. the excess
over estimates having been caused by
the rise in the cost of labor and ma
terials, which had affected every big
building project.
