How would you like to hike into a

after days of travel and walk right
into pal from home?
This was the experience of Saul Gold
berg, a resident of Washington. In a
letter to his family Sau! said he had
not been an hour In the village where
he now Is stationed before he met Ed
ward Rosenbloom, who was president
OF the Young Mems Hebrew Associa-
tion of this city before he answered the
call to the colors.
Il must say the chap looks great.
And talk. about French-why, he speaks
better French than tho natives" said
Goldberg, referring to the meeting.
While at dinner with Rosenbloom and
prise OF meeting this pal. he heard an
Joseph Stein. another Washington boy.
Gee, this place can't be SO very
large" said Goldberg in his letter.
Goldberg said he spent five months in
the gone of advancement and would
soon have received a service stripe for
the length Of time he was in that zone
had he not been ordered to the village
whore he met his two chums.
The Offices hero remind me Of the
War Department in Washington" Cold
berg continued. "You would be sur
prised to see how the American force is
conducting affairs over here. 1t won't
be long before the Huns retreat be-
fore our grand charge"

FOR MISSING SHIP
Unremitting Search Ordered
Along Route of U. S. COL
Iier CycIops.
FAST SCOUTS DETAILED

Unremitting search of trade routes
will be carried on by American and
French naval and merchant vessels un-
til every possible hope of finding some
trace of tho missing naval collier Cy-
clops has been exhausted. Secretary
Daniels has ordered additional fast
scouts detailed for this service.
Although no report has come
strengthening in the slightest degree
the hope still felt by Mr.. Daniels and
several of his chief assistants, these
officials refused to believe that the
great 1s.oO0-ton collier and the 293
lives she carried could have been wiped
out without leaving a trace. Orders
have gone out, therefore, for the
searching vessels to quarter" every
rod Of the route covered by the Cyclops
and to visit every one of the scores of
islands which dot that portion of the
sea. Every isolated bay will be en-
tered and every beach scrutihized.
Discard Theories.
Navy officials frankly confessed that
no theory yet advanced in explanation
OF the disappearance Of the Cyclops
from MAICu =, WucH BIC 1SIS Ia1 pdooCo
1t was officially stated today that 1t
was the West Indian port from which
she sailed-ssemed plausible in the
faoe Of the facts. While it was true
that ons engine was out Of commission,
enough power remained to drive the
big ship ten knots an hour. An inter-
nal explosion might have destroyed the
vessels wireless and motive power at
one instant. but surface wreckage
would have remained to mark her
grave.
