U-Boat Named "U-Buy-a-Bond"
At Central Park Christening

There were at least $4,000 willing as
sistants on hand yesterday afternoon
when Miss Rita Jolivet tugged at a
tangled rope on the coming tower Of
the UC-5 and started the German
colors from the mast Of the former
mine layer toward an inconspicuous
spot in the dust

for anything but the shouting. This
they did so Justify, led by Josephus
Daniels. Secretary Of the Navy, and
Rear Admiral Usher, commandant OF
the New York Navy Yard, that the pro-
gramme was held up for several min

In the mean time the American flag
and the British Union Jack had been
hoated from the upper structure Of the
submarine, and II was formally In the
service of the Allies. It's immediate
duty, however, was that of selling
bonds, not Staying.
A few minutes later a businesslike
FAINTER In much-bedaubed overalls
stepped out upon the narrow platform
Of the coming tower and, without any
attempt at ceremony, began painting
out the letters "UC-5" with broad
strokes of brush filled with black
paint. AS soon as his intention became
obvious he was greeted with second
outburst of cheers, which continued
until the letters "U-Buy-a-Bond" ap-
peared where the name Of tho German
submarine had been.
The rechristening ceremony was COM
pleted when Mrs. Guy Emerson cracked

Mr.. Clark said was this:

Civil War times worked against gov
eminent bonds and ran the price down
to 40 and so and on one day SO, are to-
day trying to hamper the second Lib

CHEAPER SUGAR PROMISED
Lower Prices to Prevail Coming
Year, Says Hoover.

Washington, Dec. 27.-Cheaper su-
gar next year is the promise of Her
bert Hoover, food administrator, in
lengthy statement issued defend
ing his acts from assaults of the
Reed committee. A statement, which
was issued from the White House,
holds out the hope that the 1918
price to the housewife is going to
be from S1a to 9 cents pound
Last August 1t was 10 and IL cents.
Had thhe food administration not
pursued the course 1t has in dealing
with the problem, says Mr.. Hoover,
the price would have been from ~
TO 25 cents a pound.
Though promising a cheaper price
Mr. Hoover does not promise America
her normal supply of sugar, unless
the people of the United States insist
upon having their normal supply at
the expense of robbing the army Of
facilities for transporting troops to
France. If the Allies cannot get the
minimum amount of sugar they re-
quire from US they must go to far
off Java to get 1t. he explains.

GARFIELD TAKES STAND
Says U. S. 1917 Coal Shortage
Is 100000 Tons.
War Demands Eat Up Supply Despite
Greatest Production On Rec
ord-Ralroads Blamed.

Washington, Dec. 27-A coal short
age of 50,000,000 tons for 1917 in the
face of the greatest production of any
year in the country's history has been
caused by war demands. Fuel Admin
istrator II. A. Garfield, has just told
the senate investigating committee.
"Bituminous coal production shows
an increase of 10 per cent over 1916,
while anthracite shows an increase of
16 per cent" said Garfield. THE in
creased production of bituminous coal
is 50,000,000 tons, but this is only
half enough. Munitions factories in
southern New England are being
hampered greatly by a shortage of bi-
luminous coal"
The anthracite coal situation is
fairly good" Garfield said.
Consumer Considered First.
How have you tried to increase pro-
duction?" asked Senator w. S. Ken
yon.
by placing the emphasis on pro-
duction, not price," replied Garfield.
do you believe that operators have
made big profits by this campaign"
asked Kenyon, who, in Chairman J. A.
Reeds absence, questioned Garfield
II hardly see how to stimulate pro-
duction without allowing a raise in
price"
II suppose you have placed the
governments interests first" said
Kenyon.
I'm this severe weather | have con-
sidered the consumer first, for with a
dissatisfied people the government
can accomplish nothing" was Gar.
fields reply.
Prices are much higher this year
than last" Garfield admitted but said
they are more stabilized.
Rail Problems Discussed.
"Do you think you have the situa
ton well in hand now?" asked Ken
yon.
Il can't guarantee that there will
be no more suffering" said Garfield
He placed much of the blame fol
| the coal famine on the railroads and
said the recent billiards have accent
uated the rail tieup. The greates
coal congestions, Garfield said, were
