GREAT STEEL KING HERE TODAY STILL 'CHARLIE' TO FRIENDS WHENEVER I talk with Charlie Schwab for tlv-e minutes 1 have an irresistible impulse to grab my hat, rush out and do something," said a friend of the steel master the other day. "His enthusiasm electrifies one." says Merle Crowell in the Sep tember American Magazine. My first impression of Mr. Schwab was exactly that. It came on a cold night last winter, when the moonlit snow lay still as silver around his man sion of cream granite and stone on Riverside Drive, New York city. Wait ing in his art gallery, I was studying one of Rosa Bonheur's ptUntings when a man came through the door at my left. It was the Steel King. As we sat down I began to have the feeling that had come with my first visit to a power plant. Tall, solid, but tinglingly alive, Mr. Schwab seemed the shelter for some tremendous force, some current with a How as constant as a dynamo's. I thought of the great steel mills on the banks of the Lehigh, where twelve years ago a few half deserted buildings were waiting to be strippeil of machinery, and I began to understand the industrial miracle of Bethlehem. There was something as drlvlngly irresistible in the man as there is in his Cyclopean plants, which lead the world in the output of arma ment and fine steel. Yet his brown eyes were very kind, and his voice— I have never listened to a man with a voice as friendly as the steel mas ter's. It has none of the nasal reso nance so common among Americans. 'lt is at; soft as velvet and as clear as tungsten steel. It compels confidence. For nearly sixteen years Mr. Schwab NEW COURTHOUSE MOVE TO BEGIN Commissioner Wells Puts Problem Up to Solicitor Phil Moycr Following the action of tlie Septem ber quarter sessions grand Jury in rec ommending the erection of a new courthouse.

' < ' 1. ~ has been known as America's greatest salesman. To talk with him is to understand why. With the background of that evening, I was ready to appre ciate a story which I heard later. Seveial years ago, in the midst of the development of his Bethlehem Steel Company, Mr. Schwab found it important to sell some notes. So he went to a financier. With his cus tomary enthusiasm the magnate sketched the happy condition of the steol industry and the bigger things just around the corner. So well did he present his case that the light of Bethlehem's furnaces might have betu borrowed from the rainbow. "Why, there won't be any trouble selling those notes," said the financier. And the steel man went happily back to his New York office. A little later he was called to the telephone. "Mr. Schwab" (It was the financier speaking), "would you mind dictating in a letter Just what you said to me?" So the .steel magnate dictated a let ter and took it over to him. "Why. Mr. Schwab, that isn't the same thing at all," said the man of money. "Yes, it Is," protested Bethlehem's president. They went over the letter together, and tho financier was forced to admit that it contained exactly what Mr. Schwab had said. "Well," he said, "you're right, but I can't sell those notes unless you dictate that talk into a phonograph." In ISO", at the age of thirty-five, Charles M. Schwab became president (Continued on Page Three) FIRST NATIONAL PRESIDENT DEAD James Brady Dies, Aged 74; Grew With Bank's Business James Brady, aged 7 4 years, presi dent of First National Bank, and prominent in banking and financial circles throughout the State, died last night at 9.30 o'clock, at his home, 510 North Second street.

Berlin and Vienna concede that ad vantages have been gained by the Rus sians who are attacking from both i northeast and southeast of the Gali i " capital and have gained ground south °f Brzezany in the latter district and along the Brody-Zlochoff road in the former. On the southeastern front in Mace donia the British have maintained the advances scored in their attack Satur day near the Struma, beating off Bul garian counter attacks and retaining the two villages captured along the road to Seres, according to London to day. Serbs Win Great Victory The forward movement along the Struma synchronizes with a Serbian success o nthe westerly Macedonian front. The long continued struggle in the Kaimakcalan district has resulted in the Serbians not only securing pos session of the principal heights on the region southeast of Monastir, but in | an advance of more than a mile north I of the main peak where the village of Kotchovie has been taken. Recent operations by the French along the -Homme front appear to have been mostly in the nature of minor at tacks, probably preparatory to some larger movement in the Peronne re gion, while the British main effort has been directed to the thrust toward Ba paume along the road from Pozieres, where an advance on a front, of more than a mile and a half was announced by London last night. Paris to-day reports a French success in a local operation east of Bouchavesnes north of Peronne, where a trench and some prisoners were captured. *Wk/^V 9 s - ' light ' •' . m •' nev>r ' , n.>- The I . h .• : , ; i'. :': 1 < ! • f< 'I , •, o';c 1 Id J' " : ' . • .•••!- * f the tlumer gang' outside escaped during th I I nig At.
