Search Unavailinu

WASHINGTON. April 15.-Unremit- ting search of trade routes will be car ried on by American and French naval and merchant vessels until every pos sible hope of finding some trace of the missing naval collier Cyclops has been exhausted. Secretary Daniels has or dered additional fast scouts detailed for this service.
 Although today passed without re- port strengthening in the slightest de- gree the hope still felt by Mr. Daniels and several of his chief assistants, these officials refused to believe that the great 19,000 ton collier and the 293 lives could have been wiped out with out 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 ev- cry one of the scores of islands which dot that portion of, tn sea. Every iso- lated bay will be entered and every beach scrutnized.

TEXAS SALOONS CO
 DRY BY HUNDREDS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

DALLAS, Tex, April 15-The saloons in virtually all Texas cities of more than 1000 population closed their doors for good at 9:3O o'clock tonight, the result of a law enacted at the last special session of the legislature pro- hibiting the sale of liquor within 10 miles of any army camp.
 Attorney General Looney put a final dash on the hopes of the optimists when he interpreted the law to mean any place where an airplane lands or where any military work is being done wa sa military camp within the mean ing of the bill. As a result. except for some very small isolated places, saloons, which as in other western communities have played an important part in the social and economic exist ence of the communities, had their last innings today.
 The closing was uneventful. Saloons did a rushing business in the last few days. Thousands of bottles and jugs of liquor were taken away in automo- piles from Fort Worth last week. There was similar preparedness in other places.
 About 1,500 saloons closed tonight and the few that remain will be done away with when a statewide act passed at the last legislative session, | becomes effective

 This season the Sells F'loto circus is said to be dedicated to the proposition that the public must be amused as well as thrilled.

The department at Washington is sending out from the Liberty loan headquarters a series of moving pie lures with some of the greatest of film stars in clever one-reel stunts to draw attention to the third loan.

One pretty actress plays the part of Columbia.
 Fairbanks playing the part of The Third Liberty Loan,'' has Liberty Loan" inscribed on his gloves, while Bull Montana as the kaiser has kul- ture written on his gloves and the two furnish the bout.
 Early in the first round, after Fair banks has taken a good beating, Co., lumbia discovers that the Kaiser has horseshoe in his glove and it is re- moved, after which in the next three rounds Fairbanks scores a knockout giving the kaiser a real beating. To finish up the pictpre. Fairbanks picks up the prostrate erstwhile kaiser and throwing over his shoulder carries him to a pit labeled ito he'll" into which he is cast.
 A violent upheaval follows the de- scent of the kaiser into the lower re- sions and smoke and fire beich forth and the body of the mad dog of Eu- rope" is thrown back again to the brink and the devil follows him to ask why in hell did you send him down to us, we don't want him."

LESS THAN BILLION OFFICIALLY LISTED
 FUR LIBERTY JOAN
IRepubllcan A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON. April 15.-The na- tien has raised it's pledges of Liberty loan dollars to s691, 800. This. the total at the close of business Satur- day. is 11S,oO0, 900 more than had been reported to the treasury before today. A large proprtion of the sum repre- sents subscriptions by individuals for comparatively small amounts. Many messages to headquarters today said banks in some districts are withhold ing their pledges until late in the cam paign when they can determine better what they need to fill orders of GUS toners. By banks, the item of inter- est on initial payments also is con- sidered moro closely than by indi- vduals and this is one of the factors causing them to hold back their sub scriptions.
 The situation is considered encour- aging. since it indicates q big number of subscribers and better distribution of the country's financial war burden.
 From the Minneapolis district today. where the campaign had just opened, came reports that farmers were buy ing lberally and that communities with large German population had shown particularly good records in the first days canvass.

a day. It means, they say, that novelty and freshness and fun are a sort of Sells-Floto trinity. Everything will be fresher-from the peanuts to the paint on the ring banks. AS for novelty, three of the five bands will be mounted; a clown band in the ten blocks greater parade will jog along on impish burros, better known as Rocky Mountain canaries.' There will be ladies' bugle corps on thoroughbred horses and pretty girls will seat people in the grandstands. Calliopes will aid in keeping the air a-throbbing with rol- licking circus day tunes, while the three herds of elephants have learned to trumpet whenever the donkeys pull ing the clown carts attempt to bray. Therefore the medley of the sawdust and tanbark will be a bit more in evil dence than ever before.
 And one whole section will be made up of patriotic floats and novelties. The big show opens with "The Birth of the Rainbow" beautiful spectacu- lar pageant and extravaganza, en1- ploying 600 people and 400 animals.
