Referring to the Bnancial side of the Society, Dr. Ride sold that in apite of the fact that their loss on the cancelled concert was over $240. they ended the year with a credit balance of about $70, after having paid out about $250 in donations to charity.. This brought their record of charity donations now to over $5,200.

The guns. in the monitors that shelled the Belgian coast were made by Schwab's works. When he pro mised submarines in nine months, Lord Fisher and others said they could not be built under 15 months It was agreed that he was to pay a big penalty for every week he was behind time and get twice the sum for each week he was ahead. On his return to America he wns met with the news that he was not to be allowed to build submarines there for one of the Powers at war. Not to be baffled, he bought the Vickers ship- yard at Montreal, manufactured the parts of the vessels in the U.S., pent

After the U. S. entered the war he became director-general of the shipbuilding board of the Emergency Fleet Corporation at the urgent re- quest of President Wilson. His gift for rousing enthusiasm among the workers by his personal magnetism quickly had its effect. The output for 1918 was 520 vessels of 2,083,000 tons deadweight.

In 1918 he restaned and returned to his post as chairman of the Beth- |-lehem Steel Corporation..

In 1928 he succeeded Judge Gary us chairman of the U. S. Steel Cor- poration. In that year he went to London to rezelve the Bessemer Medal, the highest honour in the steel Industry.

He said he believed that, while the US were not able to contri- bute with man-power during the war It was their duty to contribute in money. He was not in sympathy with those Americans, who wished to collect debts from men who had stood together for the preservation of civiliation. Schwab returned to London in 1932 to receive another honour, the Melchett Medal.

His many benefactions included a Catholic church at Loretto, buildings and an endowment for St. Francis College there, a church at Braddock and a country home for a New York children's hospital. Опе of the richest men In America, be in said.
