U. S. WAR BUSINESS LOST.
S100,000,000 Contracts Cancelled BY
Great Britain Within Three Weeks.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-American
manufacturers Will not wax very fat on
munition contracts in 1917. accordingto
information obtained yesterday in high
banking circles. Because Of the in
creaaing production abroad and in Can
ada, and the attitude of the Federal
Reserve Board in warning bankers
against the purchase of British and
French treasury bills, il was learned
that more than Sl00,000,000 worth of
munition contracts have been cancelled
by Great Britain III the last three
weeks.
Great Britain has placed with Cana
dian manufacturers contracts Tor war
supplies valued at between $500 G0e,
600 and 100000, 900 since the Reserve
Board 5 warning. These contracts were
originally intended for American firms.
The placing Of the contracts with Can
adam firms has caused an almost unpre-
cedented situation in this country, Ill
| that Canada probably will have to
come into this market for money to
| finance her huge munition contracts
This will practically mean, bankers say.
that American interests Will furnish
money b. which Canadian firms will
reap profits, which were intended for
American firms.
Indications also are that there viii
| be a general curtailment from now on
of all buying by the Allies in this
country. None Of the options for fur

he exercised by the Allies, but there
will be no cancellation of contracts for
raw materials in the American market.
Companies producing iron. steel, copper
and other products will not benefit 81
the new move by Great Britain, France
and Russia
The cancellations and reflections Of
options have been distributed over the
whole field, it was explained, So the ac-
ton will not bear heavily on any one
particular section, but practically all
of the large concerns which have gone
III for manufacturing munitions since
tho beginning Of the war have had THEN
contracts clipped. Nearly all of these
contracts have carried cancellation
clauses.
1t is the intention of the Allies, es-
peciallF Great Britain, to strengthen
their credit position in this country in
the next year, bankers said. To this
end Great Britain will ship about 500,
100000 more gold this month. There
will be no change in the plans to issue
a new loan of about $250,000,000 in the
middle or latter part of this month
however. Informal conferences are
being held by bankers IN regard to this
new financing.
The new Canadian loan viii not be
brought out, according TO present indi-
the British loan has been fioated.

FUEL DICTATOR
ISSUES ORDERS
TO Save COAL
DR.. Garfield Demands Quick
>er Shipments and Curtails
Electric Advertising.

| DR.. H. A. Garfield, United States
Fuel Administrator, last night laid
down a hard and fast program intend
ed to insure sufficient coal to all con-
sumers. In the first comprehensive
survey Of the coal situation he has
announced two decisive steps:
/. Immediate and thorough relief
for congestion Of the railroads that is
hampering production at the mines;
and
2. Sharp discontinuances Of all coal
supplies for nonessentiaI uses in the
| advancements Of the war cause. This
takes the Joy out of life for Broadway
and every white light district Of the
country.
| To Hasten Shipments.
In conjunction with the Railroad
War Board and the Priority Commit
tee and all other agencies involved,
the Fuel Administration will under
take to expedite the movement Of
coal trains, speed up unloading and
hurry empties back to the mines.
Operators have represented they can
work only about 20 per cent Of the
| time because of lack Of cars This
percentage of efficiency is to be i'm
proved.
The first order directed against nom
| essential use of coal was issued last
night when Mr.. Garfield directed that
| in future electric signs used for dis
| play advertising may be operated only
| between the hours of 7:3O and II p. m.
Broadway will be Broadway for only
three and a half hours henceforth.
But, as DR.. Garfield see II, Broadway
may as well be dark II by being dark
it can help prosecute the war. Elec-
tric signs operated by merchants that
are necessary when their stores are
open will not be affected. Hundreds
of thousands of tons of coal will, it is
expected, be saved by curtailment Of
electric sign advertising.
Coal Users Rated.
DR.. Garfield issued rating Of all
coal users to show the order in which
they will receive their fuel.
Shipbuilding plants and aeroplane
factories come first Special arrange
ments have already been made to give
them enough coal to keep them all
operating at 100 per cent efficiency.
After them follow in order the rail-
roads, munitions and steel plants. pub
lie utility companies and the domestic
consumer.
Bearing out this program. instruc-
tions were sent to the various State
fuel administrators yesterday cover
ing the handling of complaints and
showing the order in which various
consumers are to be supplied. Federal
Trade Commission agents are to work
with the State administrators in in
vestigating and settling complaints.

MAY DISSOLVE FUND
TO PROMOTE PEACE
Foundation of Col. Roosevelt Con-
sidered Travesty. Is Report.

There Is grave doubt at the Capt.
tol, contrary to reports late in the
extra session, whether Senator Lodge
will insist upon action on his bill
dissolving the foundation for promo
tion of Industrial peace and author
izing Col. Roosevelt to take his
share and run along about his busi-
ness"
Some objection to consideration of
the measure has been heard among
friends of the administration, and
there are those who claim that
spells defeat for the measure if an
attempt is made by the Massachu-
setts Senator to bring it forth. More
over, it is said that the Colonel has
been making inquiry concerning the
bill, though from what angle no one
in the Congressional halls. at the
present time seems to know. Sena-
tor Hiram johnson, of California,
will know all about that phase of It
when he returns, however, it is said,
and if the Colonel wants anything
done with regard to the measure the
Western solon will be apprised of
what 1t is.
The foundation was established by
Congressional act in 1907, and the
Nobel peace prize awarded to Col.
Roosevelt the year before was the
substantial basis upon which the
fund was formed. Trustees. of the
fund were empowered to receive be-
quests and additions to the fund and
were authorized to invest it and
conduct the affairs of the founda-
tion with view to making 1t per-
manent.
Senator Lodge is said to believe
that the foundation is a travesty in
view of what is taking place in the
world now, and that until peace is
restored the prize cannot legiti-
mately been awarded.
