CREWS FATE IN DOUBT

BOSTON. Aug. 1.-THE fate of the
crews Of nine fishing vessels sunk by
a submarine of the Georges Bank on
the Massachusetts, coast yesterday is
unknown early today.
Four survivors OF the schooner
Kate Palmer were rescued by the
schooner Helen MurIey.
Naval craft were sweeping the seas
in search for boats containing the
survivors. Fear for their safety was
increased because at the time OF the
attack the sea was becoming rough
under q northeast wind.
Captain Proctor. OF the fishing
schooner Cleaner. was able to get
away from the scene OF the attack
without being fired on by the U-boat

any aid, watched vessel after vessel

crew had been in open boats since
last Thursday at o'clock Their
ship, they said. had been summarized

Trawlers picked them up last night.
The Syland was q Swedish steamer.
The German raider may have sunk

CYCLOPS FATE UNKNOWN

Secretary Daniels stated today the
Navy Department places no credence
in reports OF the capture OF the Cy-
clops by q German submarine on the
Virginia coast.
The message found in a bottle on
Baltimore which purported to tell of
the sinking OF the Cyclops is regarded
as q hoax Daniels personal opinion
is that the Cyclops shifted her cargo
and sank. This view Is shared by
high official OF the navy.
Daniels declared II would have been
very improbable that the Germans
could take the Cyclops through the
allied patrol into a German port.

PARIS. Aug. 12.-French peasants
living in the northern half of

1t has been impossible to spare

The odd result is that thousands
of scarecrows which thrifty French
have all over their farms to cut
down the loss OF seed and crops to
a minimum, have been Invested of
their suits and given straw substi-
tutes. The peasants are wearing the

LIBERTY LOAN.
BY BILL PRICE.

washington's Liberty loan COM
mittee, which is already arranging
for washington's participation in the
next sale of Liberty bonds-the bor-
rowing by the Government Of at least
$4,000. 600. .0Oo-is not only Of the
opinion that washington's quota will
be more than subscribed, but that
when the war is over the people OF
this city will own more Government
bonds per capita than any other
given part OF the population OF the
United States.
Heads Per Capita List.
As the. record for the last three
Liberty loans stands today, Washing
ton heads the country in per capita
subscription and ownership. More
than half the people OF the District
own Liberty bonds and are daily lay
ing aside money to get in on the next
loan, the largest of any yet noated by
the United States.
Before the first Liberty loan, Gov
ernlnent or other bonds were little
understood by the masses Of the peo-
pie. The banks and wealthy investors
almost alone knew how il felt to clip
coupons or to receive quarterly or
semi-annual interest checks. Now
the majority OF the people know what
the feeling is and they like ii.
John Poole, chairman, and Eugene
Thompson, secretary of the local
Liberty loan committee. have plans
all prepared for the next loan and
these are under consideration by the
banks. The main idea is to central
ize the work so that the Individual
banks may be relieved to some ex-
tent of the burdens of the last three
loans.
MeAdOo To Have New Plans.
These plans, however, may not
be necessary of adoption II reports
OF the purposes Of Secretary McAdoo
turn out to be true. Mr.. McAdoo is
expected to make announcement as
to the next loan within a short time,
and the announcement may reveal
new details of operation by which
the Government will take some of
the burdens from the banks by sys-
tematic simplification of subscrip-
tions and payments, so that the
banks will be mere agents for the
Government instead of being re-
spcnsible for all payments upon sub
scriptions.
1t is known to be the wish of Mr..
McAdoo. in appreciation of what
bankers everywhere have been doing
at great expense to themselves, to-
put the next loan on q somewhstf
different basis, and II he can work
out the plans in time he will do so.

tails of a new plan. as it is believed

Lansing Lacks Word.

Secretary Lansing, who returned to-

partment has no information on the
reported flight OF 'Lenine and Trotzky.
He indicated, however, that II this
should be true, 1t would not neces-
sarily mean the collapse of the Boil
shevik movement. inasmuch as local
soviets are very independent and not
closely bound TO the leaders.
Military Developments in all quar-

garia. Turkey. and even Austria grow
more fearful Of the outcome. Paci-
lists and anti-Germans In all OF these

have rallied to the anti-bolshevik
forces. One bolshevik leader. Olsch-
insky, is reported killed and bolshe-
vik blood has been spilled in various
sections of Russia

and some colonial troops are reported
at Vladivostok to join the Czecho-

Japan's preparations for larger forces
to enter Siberia are going ahead.
The new government OF the north
ern district OF Russia welcomes allied
intervention in Siberia and counts on
the aid of America and the allies to
defend their northern region and rem
der economic aid.
This information was contained IN
a proclamation issued under date OF
August G, by the revolutionary gov
ernment at Archangel, received by the
State Department today. The proc
lamation stated that the government
''is convinced that Russia'S and the
allies interests in the struggle
against the foreign enemy are one
and the same"
The proclamation declared that the
BolsheVik power has fallen because
the populace did not support Bolshe-
vik leaders, detesting them for their
betrayal of Russia, for civil war. be-
cause of universal famine, destruc-
ton of liberty and rights, legalized
robbery and shooting squads, ana for

Reports from Kieff declared the
staff of the Don Cossaeks has an
nounced that the entire Don region
has been freed Of BolsheViki, and Is
garrisoned by a well-eQuipped army
of several thousand.

MANGO MUST BE
 EATEN WITH FORK
(Commerce Reports)

The mango, the king of tropical fruits is, after the orange and banana the most generally consumed of tropi- cal fruits in Mexico. A fruit of de licious taste, it is, however, almost i'm possible to eat it without soiling the hands.
 A way of avoiding this has been dis covered. There. is in use here what is known as the mango fork. The mango contais a large pit or seed having a large aperture at the base. The mango fork has three tines. The central tine, long and sharp, is inserted into the aperture of the mango pit, while the shorter tines pierce the flesh of the mango and keep it from revolving while being peeled. The mango, once fixed on the fork. is readily peeled and eaten without soiling the hands.
 Mango forks differ from ordinary forks in that the tines are straight l. would seem advisable for all American exporters of table ware to keep such forks in stock.
