FROM THE SEA
BIG NAVAL CARRIER HAS
BEEN OVERDUE AT PORT
SINCE MARCH THIRTEEN.
293 MEN WERE ABOARD
Navy Department Officials Are No
Nearer Solution Of Mystery Than
They Were Three Weeks Ago
May be in Enemy's Hands.

Washington, April Is. - Orders
for greater efforts to find the miss
ing naval collier Cyclops. overdue
from South American waters for
more than a month, went out to-
day to American ships, In addi-
ton, allied naval craft on patrol
duty in the south, are aiding in the
search.
So far not one word has come
to cieal up the mysterv OF the col.
lier's disappearance. Secretary
Daniels said today, however, that he
still clings to the hope that the YES
sci would report as many other navy
ships have done after they had been
given up for lost.
Naval officials were no nearer to-
day to a solution of the disappear
ance than they were three weeks
ago when anxiety over the safety OF
the ship first developed. There is
absolutely nothing on which to
found an explanation. The big car
rier has simply vanished from the
sea.
A theory that she had been cap
tured by group of German agents
on board appeared to be the only
explanation that would account for
the silence of her radio equipment.
Since the ship failed to appear,
naval vessels have patrolled all
coasts in the vicinity of her route.
looking for wreckage or survivors.
Nothing has been found. Every
vessel known to have been anywhere
in the region at the time has been
communicated with. None saw or
heard anything of the collier. Re
ports from every source showed
nothing to warrant a storm theory.
The ship had aboard an insuffc-
lent quantity OF coal for a journey

she been captured.

FOOD CONTROLLER
FOR ENGLAND DIES
(Rv Associated PreSs)

LONDON, July 3.-Viscount Rhond-
da David Alfred Thomas) the British
food controller died this morning
Viscount Rhonda was the man who
put England and most of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain on rations
and won the gratitude oven of the peo-
pie whose food supply he regulated.
Before he achieved the task it was
generally regarded as all but impossi-
BILE.
Before undertaking that task,
Rhondda had in 1915 organized the
British munitions buying in the United
States and Canada and put it on a
business basis.
Born at Adare, Wales, March 26,
1856. David A. Thomas was the son of
colliery owner. Succeeding to his
fathers business, he became head of
the great Cambrian Combine which
controlled many mines producing
steam coal used by the British navy.
He was elected to parliament from
Cardiff and twice refused to be made
peer. Long before he began to
figure in public life he was widely
known in America as the British Coal
King" His favorite recreation was in
farming.
