NUMEROUS BOAT CREWS TO TAKE
 UP. THE SEARCH
esoc,ated Pressl


 WASHINGTON, D. C., April 30.- After several weeks of securing the seas for some trace Of the missing naval collier Cyclops without unearth- ing anything of value, the navy de partment is about to inapglrale an- other kind of a search. The next phase, the department announced to- day, will be to land numerous boat crews among the islands of the West Indies group and question the fisher men on these coasts. The Cyclops sailed from Barba- does almost two months ago and has never been seen or heard of since she left the last port of call up to the present time. As far as can be learned, not a ship of any nationality was in communication with the vessel after she cleared for an American port on the Gulf coast.
 The disappearance is surrounded by mystery which has not been pene- trated yet. The vessel has van ished without leaving one single trace. and in a sea along route covered daily by numerous ships. No storm of sufficient strength to damage the ship has been reported during the time 1t has been missing. No wreckage has been seen to in dicate that it has been destroyed by an explosion. Hundreds of swift naval vessels have searched the route quartering to find some trace, but without avail.
 Now will come the search of the islands in quest of information. This will require some time, and a score of landing crews will be utilized The department refuses to give up hope that the ship will yet be lo. cated.

ARTICLE ABOUT FIRST MACHINE
 FOR KNITTING
(From "The Point of Tiew"D

(From "The Point of View"> Not content with try1ne to emu late woman's prowess and industry with the needles. man hah actuai.g had tho audacity to attoMul Ia '-r.-' them entirely rom h. igogou -rG-p [ wa . man and a clergy man, mo. eoyer- the Reverend Willi am Lee, of Nottinghamshire, who in 1889 invented machine deceitfully designed to take the place of will ing and skilful feminine fingers in the knitting of garments! This un- gallant gentleman even went the length of having himself painted in cap and gown of a master of arts, pointing to a hose on his stocking frame while on the other side a weeping female is showing her emp ty and therefore useless knitting pins.
 It is consoling to know that the Reverend Lee, in whom cupidity must have been even greater than vanity, although renouncing his re- ligious activities for the pursuit of wealth, failed signally to profit by his invention. Queer Elizabeth, talk en by her kinsman Lord Hunson, to Lees lodgings in Bunhill Row to see the miraculous" invention, was so deeply disgusted that the pro. duct of his machine was nothing more than heavy worsted stocking that she refused to grant him a patent for his invention-a veto that was sustained even when the un- happy cleric hastily constructed a new and finer frame on which was made a pair of silk hose for the obdurate queen. This feminine quid pro quo so embittered the reverend gentleman that, at the invitation of Sully, ambassador of Henry " of France. he angrily betook himself and his knitting frames to Rouen. But even here i'll luck pursued him, his expectations of a special patent being defeated by the assassination of the king, and in 1910 he died a disappointed man.
 Fortunately for the inventive geni- us of today, he fares much better, and knitting machines operate mer- rily in scores of cities and towns of our country. But when all is said and done, the same difference exists between hand knitting and machine knitting as exists between nearly all hand made and machine made products. With all due allow ances for inexperience and haste, garments knitted by the willing hands of our war-sitrred women and girls are more comfortable, more elastic, and more durable than the machine made article. so that the recrudescence of knitting has not only a picturesque value but a sol idly practical one.

AUTO ROBBERS
 ARE NOBILITY

AMSTERDAM-The following story is told by the Cologne Gazette's spe- cial commissioner in Petrograd as typical of the extraordinary condi- tions prevailing there. He says: An automobile taking a rich Finnish family home was stopped in Peters burg street by another auto whose armed occupants stripped the clothes from the travellers and stole half a million rubles' worth of property. The police were powerless. but a pri- vate detective ran the robber band to earth and found it consisted of Russian prince and his body ser wants. /
 "The prince cheerfully admitted he had been living on the proceeds of highway robbery for a month. This he asserted was his only means of existence. because he had been com pletely despoiled and ruined by the Bolsheviki. He submitted that if he is to be punished. others who drove him to the deed should be punished first"

The commission will now depend upon commercial trans port facilities, already greatly re- stricted, to deliver 5000 tons of freight this year over the circuit whose magnitude can be comprehend ed from any map.
