ESQ lives ARE LOST WHEN
BRITISH ARMED MERCHANT
CRUISER Goes TO BOTTOM

London, Feb. "a, 5.25 P. M.-The
officials information bureau announced
this afternoon that the Clan Mac
Naughton, an armed merchant cruiser,
is missing. Vessel was last heard from
February 3 and it is feared that she
has been lost.
Two hundred and eighty men lost
their lives when the Clan MacNaugh-
ton went down.
The text of the bureaus announce
ment follows
"The secretary of the admiralty re-
grets to announce that H. M. C. CLAN
MacNaughton, an armed merchant
cruiser, Commander Robert Jeffreys, R.
N, has been missing since February 3,
and it is feared that the vessel has been
lost.
"An unsuccessful search has been
made and wreckage supposed to be por-
tions of this ship has since been dis
covered
"The last signal received from the
Clan Mach aughton was made in the
early morning of February 8 and it is
feared that she was lost during the
bad weather which prevailed at that
time"
From the fact that there is no reg
ular cruiser in the British navy named
Clam MacNaughton and that there is a
merchant steamer of that name, 1T can
safely be assumed that the British
naval authorities have taken the mer-
chant vessel and made use of her as
an auxiliary warship.
The merchant steamer Clan Mac
Naughton was 429 feet long. She has
been in the Indian service, for she
reached London from Calcutta Novem-
Der 4, last year..

German Coast
OFFICIAL REPORT
OF THEDISASTER
American Minister Van Dyke Notifies
State Department of Loss of Carib,
Reported to Have Occurred Outside
Route Prescribed by Germans
By Associated Press.

Washington, Feb. 24.-Official notice
of the sinking of the American ship
Carib was received at the State De-
partment to-day in this message from
American Minister Van Dyke at The
Hague:
"Carib reported sunk in North sea
outside route prescribed by German in
structions.''
Berlin, Feb. "a, Via London, 5.2O
P. MA dispatch received in Berlin
from the American vice consul at
Bremerhaven declares that all the men,
bers of the crew of the American
steamer Carib, reported yesterday as
having sunk in the North sea, have
been saved. 1t is understood, the vice
consul continues, that the Carib struck
a mine in the Blight of Heligoland the
afternoon of February %.
Berlin, Feb. 24.-The American
steamer Carib has gone to the bottom
off the German coast III the North sea
as result of running mine. At the
time of the disaster the Carib was not
using the route laid down by the Ger
man marine instructions.
Tie German Admiralty has COM
municated a memorandum TO Command
er Walter r. Gherardi, the American
naval attache, pointing out that the
destruction of the American steamers
Evelyn and Carib was due to their not
following the course prescribed by the
German Admiralty to a point northwest
of Helgoland. The memorandum relt-
crates, the assurance of the German
government as to the safety of the pre-
scribed course.
Captain Smith, of the Evelyn, has
been asked for a report as to the local
ity of the disaster. This report is ex-
pected to show whether the Evelyn
wandered within the defensive German
mine fields, or whether she struck
mines laid by a belligerent power other
than Germany.

Carrying Cotton to Bremen

For mole than ten years the Carib
ran with passengers and freight in the
service of the Clyde Line between
New York and Wilmington, n. c.,
Georgetown, 5. c., and Brunswick, Ga,
and later between Jacksonville, Fla,
and Boston
She was an iron single screw steam
er built under the British flag at Port
Glasgow in 1882. She was christened
the President Garfield, and later be-
came the Austrian steamer Ximon.
Then she was bought by the Clyde Line
and put under the American flag.
Two months ago the Clyde Line sold
her to Walker, Armstrong & Co., of
Savannah, a firm of cotton brokers'.
She sailed from Charleston for Brem-
en- with 1900 bales of cotton on Janu-
ary %. The Carib was in command of
Captain +. l.. Cole and carried a crew
of twenty-nine.
She was of 2,OS7 tons gross, 1854
feet long, 36 2 feet beam and 22.4
depth of hold. She registered from
New York.
In the service of the Clyde Line the
Carib, which had five bulkheads, met
with many accidents and adventures,
but was called lucky ship"

DOUBT WHETHER EVELYN'S
Captain HAS been SAVED

Washington, Feb. 24.-Official ad-
vices to-day seem to throw some doubt
on whether Captain Smith, of the Amer
lean steamer Evelyn sunk in the North
sea by a mine, was among the saved
and whether it is not his boat which is
missing.
Ambassador Page, at London, to-
day forwarded report from the Amer
lean consul at Bremerhaven, which is
as follows:
American steamer Evelyn ran on
two mines on the 18th, a a. M, near
Isle Borkum. Sunk seven hours later.
Captain Smith, thirteen men and Dutch
pilot in one boat; First Officer Swan
son and thirteen men in other. First
boat said to have been rescued 10 a.
m. Saturday but present whereabouts
yet unknown. Latter boat picked up
by German scout ship Mass, four Satur-
day afternoon and taken to Heligoland
Thirteen men brought to Bremerhaven
and put into Sailors Home. Spanish
stoker, Hans Ilizo, frozen and buried at
sea, appears to be only dead. Other sur
vivors expected tomorrow. Those in

No Report of Missing Evelyn Men

Washington, Feb 24.-No report
lad come to-day of the missing boat
load of men from the American steamer
Evelyn. Thick weather in the North
sea is believed to be one cause for
the lack of information, but officials
here feel that the chances are good
that if the second mate and his men
already have not landed on the Holland
coast at some point remote from tele-
graph communication they have been
picked up by one of the many trawlers
which frequent. the waters off the
mouth of the Elbe.
The government war risk bureau,
which insured the hulls and cargoes of
the Evelyn and Carib, plans to reduce
some of its losses by salvaging their
cotton cargoes if possible. Secretary
McAdoo, of the Treasury Department,
and Assistant Secretary Peters, discuss
ed plan with President Wilson.
Secretary McAdoo pointed out that
cotton was not easily damaged by
water and that if it were done it was
probable that the cause of the sinking
of the vessels would be definitely de.
termined.
The war risk bureau will take no
action until the owners have submitted
proofs of the losses. Secretary Nc
Adoo pointed out that no insurance was
granted by the bureau on vessels carry
ing contraband Of war.

CANADIAN SOLDIERS
SAVE THE SITUATION
Indications Point to the
Bloodiest Campaign of
the Whole War.

I ONDON, April 24---QO:l5 p. m)
IL The Germans are pouring troops
into Flanders to press the attack,
which at the beginning has forced the
allies back to the User canal to the
north OF Ypres
This movement. according TO re-
ports reaching Holland. has assumed
even greater dimensions than those
which preceded the battle that ragged
for more than two weeks In this same
region last October On that occa-
sion the operations ended in the dis
COmfiture of the Germans. who had
declared their intention OF pushing
their way through to Calais.
1t appears that the Germans have
similar aim today and have set out to
capture Hpres, which Is described as
the key to the coast ports.
While the attack originally met
with considerable success, due accord

checked. The Canadians. who held

which they had conceded and retaking
four guns which they had left in the
hands of the Germans. In the words
of Sir John French, they saved the

The British report does not say
how much ground they recovered. but

report that a British attack at st.
Julien was repulsed. shows that they
are well back in their old positions,

All Chicago Lumber
Yards Quit Business

CHICAGO, April 24.-Five thousand
more men were added to the list of
1880 unemployed in Chicago today
when practically all of the 80 big
lumber yards in the city closed down
their yards, pending settlement OF the
carpenters strike The action of the
lumbermen was due chiefly to a lack
of demand for their wares. The lum-
Der yards that have shut down do an
estimated annual business of S25,-
100000.
Efforts to arbitrate the trouble are
being continued.
The Building Construction Employ
ers' association today prepared an ul-
timatum to six unions threatening a
lockout May l unless the uniform
building trades agreement is signed
prior to that date These are the unions
threatened: Cement finishers, drain
layers, marble filters, bridge and
structural iron workers, sheet metal
workers, tile layers; comprising $500
members.

lette bought- the property only last
week.
These three proposed buildings
alone represent an outlay of nearly
100000, and the property they will
be built on is valued at the lowest es-
innate at $4,000.
When construction work on the
three buildings is begun, together with
many other smaller business build
ings under the course of construc-
tion and scores of residences, an army
of at least 1000 carpenters and brick
masons will be employed in Tulsa.
other buildings in the downtown
district Of the city likely will be
started this summer, but at this time
those who are contemplating the ereC-
ton of business houses are not ready
to make public their plans.
Probably Two Others.
1t is known that the Excange Ma
tional bank has for some time been
contemplating the erection of a sky
scraper. which will house their own
rapidly growing bank, and it has been
reported currently several times that
Harry Sinclair has p;anned a ten or
twelve story office building. That
these two buildings will be built in
Tulsa there is no doubt, but neither
Mr.. Sinclair or representatives of the
Exchange National bank would deny
or verify the reports.
Suffice it to say, however, more
than a half million dollars in build
ing will be going on In Tulsa before
the first of June.
