The growth of the American business of the North German Lioyd during the 4 of flerce transatlantic competi- tlon, when larger and faster steamships were bulit as fast as the shipyards could turn them out, was under Mr. Schwab's direction. In the spring of 1910 Mr. Schwabe health gave way and he was ordered by his phyatclans to take a long rest He expected to take up hin work again in a few months, but his illness persisted and he was forced to relinquish the yanagement of Oelrichs & Co. and of the at Kiship business to other hands hwab died in March, 1911, when peared that Mr. Schwab's health was about to be restored. ‘The shock of his wife's death retarded his recov. ery and, although he revisited his of- fice and took up some of his old activ- ities, he found himself unequal to the strain. About a year ago he gave up his business interests. Mr, Schwab vi {ted European watering places last sum- mer without beneft to his health, He returned in September and went to Litenfeld, In addition to his work for the North German Lloyd and his import- ing interests Mr. Schwab was always active in public affairs.
