.U.. s. DEMANDS l. FOR SUBS SCARE
 SHIP BUILDERS
Unable To Turn Out Craft Wanted, Under Specified
 tion, Is Assertion.

Through a letter written by Secre- tary of the Navy Daniels to Chairman Padgett of the House Naval commn- tee on Saturday it has become known that American submarine builders are unable to construct the large fleet submarines, under specifications re- qutred by the government within the appropriation contemplated.
 Though the maximum limit of price was fixed by the government at about one million and 8 half dollars, such qualifications and surface speed limits were demanded that no American ship builder could construct the boat with in the appropriation figures, accord ing to Secretary Daniels.
 It is believed generally in subma- rine plants that the secretary will re- order specifications which will again be submitted to the various builders in the United States.
 Speaking of the subject today an official high in the councils of the Lake Torpedo Boat Go. of this city, said: While am not at liberty to 'divuIge the secrets of the specified tions demanded in the building and bidding of these two overseas craft the matter of speed was a great factor It is true that we can construct a boat capable of 25 knots surface speed, but the cost is in. proportion to size, radius and other qualifications. Our bid was necessarily higher than the appropria- ton, but I am not at liberty to di- vu1ge any further facts.''

M. E. CHURCH'S
 SALE PRICE IS
 TO BE S1OO,OOO
Option Recorded Which In dicates Bridgeport May
 Have Another Hotel.

Option for the sale of the First M. E. church property at Fairfield ave- nue and Broad street. was filed this morning in the office of the town clerk. It is significant that the terms of the option expire tom morrow, which would indicate that the holders plan to make purchase at the stipulated price of $1OO,OO0, which is 9, record price for property in the vicinity.
 The option as recorded today shows that only $50 was paid by those procuring the privilege of buying the property. and that it was signed by the late John B. Reynolds, as presi- dent of the First Methodist Church society.
 The faling of this option today was accomplished by James Gordon, jun for partner of the firm of Gordon & Gordon located in the Security build ing Although he expressed himself as unaware of the definite action taken by the interested parties it is known that both Benjamin H. Cor don and F. H. Bentley through whom negotiations were. carried in the hotel syndicate lawyers today at New York.
 If the option is taken up tomorrow as it is believed it will be- Bridgeport will have a large and modern hotel of 10 or more stories, plans for which have already been drawn.
 The hotel as projected will be oper- ated by one company, an owning and building company vii be interested and a holding company will partici- pate. It is said that large amounts of money have been pledged by local Pbanlzs for building purposes. A
 Plans drawn in New York for the Stevens Hotel Co, covering the tract 5 of land now occupied at Fairfield ave ns1e and Broad streets show a, large reception room, lobby and dining room on the main floor with elevators cen. traEy located and mezzanine floor breaking in the form of a gallery into the dining room, which consequently will be story and a half high.

Totals, .....

Each noon a large proportion of the four companies of workers meet for luncheon at the Stratfield from 12:15 to 1:15 o'clock where the luncheon is furnished by the hotel mana cement but served by women from the various churches in the city. The ball room is filled with long tables over which are hung the gaily colored placards bear ing the names of captains of the par ticular team and the general of the division. Captains have their own ten workers together to compare notes and turn in reports at the conclusion of the meal.
 Each one has a fine story to tell. 1T travelled 27 miles in my car and only succeeded in getting fifty cents." Far from being discouraging the next wo- man told this story: My requisition was made out for $15 but he gave me a thousand" So the noon day meal becomes the most interesting of places for the totals given in the end make the results spell success for the days owrk.
 The workers do not ask for money Pledge blanks are made out from $1 900 down to a few cents with a year and half allowed for payment. One fifth of the pledge is due April l. one fifth each four months later until the amount subscribed has been paid. The average person can afford to give 25 yet that sum would be $5, or better still, 25 cents a week which would mean SIS in the IS months allowed. The same system is allowed for large amounts as well as small amounts.
 Because blanks were made out for the large sums, it was misunderstood in some cases to mean that no small amount might be subscribed. One of the workers reported 20 cents on Fri day from one who gave all. When the beautiful building standing as repre- sentative of the greatest woman's club in the world unaterializes, it is hoped that each Bridgeporter will have had a part in it.
