A sensational ex planation of the sharp advance in Bethle hem Steel shnies on the stock inmkct was forthcoming today from a highly placed employe of the Hrltlsh Government. "At this moment," he said, "everything Is In readiness in several great manufac turing plants In the noith of England nnu" la Scotland for the building of six bridges which are designed for election at six points across the Rhine. All that Is necessary for their con struction Is the structural steel and this has bean ordered and Is being manufac tured In the rnlted States. This one or der, unquestionably one of the largest in point of tonnage eer given to a ateel manufactory, doubtless accounts in part for the fccnsatlonal rise in the market prlco of the company's shares In Wall street. "Of course this one order itself forms but a bmnll part of the grent total of orders for steel which American manu factories have received from the British Government In the last six months, yet It Involves many hundreds of thousands of tons and a very Inrge sum of money."

This announcement would seem to set tle once and for all any question as to the plans of the Allies In the western theatre of war.
