ANDREWS & CO. 132 MAIN STREET CAPTURED U-BOAT T0 AID WAR LOAN German Submarine Arrives and Will Be Seen in New York New York, Oct. 19.—The U-C-5, a ! German mine-laying submarine which was captured by the British in 1916, | and a British tank which has been through heavy action in France, have arrived in this country and will be used for exhibition purpeses in aid of the hond issue. The under-sea boat, a small, new type of ocean pest, with no torpedo tubes and equipped for mine laying exclusively, is now partly in the hold of a big ship and partly on a barge which will transport the German ter- ror in three parts to the landing at 132nd street and North River, after which it will be placed on exhibition in Central Park, as a Liberty Loan advertisement. The tank will be shown by the Red Cross In its cam- paign for funds. After the three parts of "the sub- marine have been lifted ashore by cranes, they will be taken in a great _procession headed by & brass band on Saturday morning. Each section of the craft will be transported on a huge speclally constructed truck, drawn by forty-elght horses. The first truck will bear the bow of the boat, welghing thirty tons. The next will carry the mid-section which welghs forty-five tons, and the third will carry the stern, & Wweight of thirty-seven tons. Because of the great weight of the three loads, the route had to be tested '| to make sure of the strength of the pavements over which the load was to pass. Several city ordinances re- garding trafic have been nullified temporarily to make it possible to re- assemble the submarine on dry land in Central Patk. The trucks will move south to Manhattan streel, across Manhattan street to 126th street, along 125th street to Seventh avenue, and on Seventh avenue to 110th street. Then the forty-eight horses will drag their loads, the greatest which have ever been drag- ged along New York streets, to the Sixty-sixth street entrance to Central Park and from there to the site in the meadow, where the three parts are to be put together. Here Mrs. Guy Emerson, wife of the Director of Publicity of the Liberty Loan com- mittee, will rechristen it on Satur- day, changing its name to the “UBuy- A-Bond.” A crew of Liberty Loan salesmen will be put on board, and the Kaiser's former sea terror will be transformed into one of the great factors in the Liberty Loan drive. After it has been docked in the sheep’s pasture, the U-boat will be opened to the pub- lic. Admission will be free to those i displaying Liberty Bond buttons. The Park Department has constructed a wooden stand, from which the sub- marine may be viewed. The U-boat was sent to this coun- try with the compliments of the Brit- ish admiralty. A great many difficul- ties had to be overcome, before the prize was released, to be used for this purpose. Lord Northcliffe had a great deal to do with overcoming the diffi- culties. British destrover in the middle of July. The business of the U-C-6 was to find the sea lanes which British merchant ships were using and to sow them with mines. The regular German mine layers were driven from the seas during the first week of the war. The ideal use of the mines was that of dropping them after the U-boat had been sighted and chased by a British warship, thus mining the course which the pursuer had to take. The twelve mines were carried in six tubes. After a mine was drop- ped, it went straight to the bottom of the ocean, but the impact of strik- ing the bottom, separated the mins from an anchor to which it was at tached. The anchor remained on the bottom, while the mine rose to with- in a few feet of the surface, the T'-boat having in the meantime passed on out of danger from Its own tor- pedo. The U-C-6 is 110 feet in with a beam of eleven feet. Its dis- placement is 200 tons. As it was not intended for pursuing prizes, the least possible space was given to engines, length, WhyEnvyHer?

Lee of Columbia university, in an address on “the human machine in war indus- try” before another section of the public health association. He pointed out that *“one of the most striking fea- tures of the present war is the uns precedented use that is being made of' science” and that the accomplishs ments of physiology must be added to those of mechanical engineering. 4 BOY SCOUTS ON LOANS.
