University to Send
Yearbooks to Soldiers.

Tho state University has spun one
more thread to bind enlisted students
to itself. Copies of the Sentinel the
university yearbook. will be sent tn
military training camps throughout the
United States. Recently President f.

Nersity purchase the books, and yes
terday II was made known that the
matter had been favorably acted upon
and that the purchase would be made.
The ma jority of the state University
| men who are now Sammccs are in
western camps. and to these places
quantities of the books will be sent.
Fifteen Sentincls will be sent to Camp
Lewis and nine to Camp Kcarncy in
California. Smaller numbers of the
books will be sent to other camps
where men from the university utc
stationed
President Sisson said yesterday: Il
can't say, Of course sjust how much
good these books will do our boys in
tn" army. BHt If there is even a
chance that they will help, and think
| they will. it Is worth taking. Tho
| boys will be glad to see the books
am sure. And II seems to me that
boys from other institutions or from no
| institutions can find some pleasure in
| them. One copy of the book will be
sent to each library and reading room

Missoula Boys at Front
With Montana REGIMENT.

\ bunch of western Montana BOYS
who are near the fighting line in
France have been heard from ind-
rcctly through ex-First Lieutenant ~
Niland of Roundup. who has just re-
turned from duty on the western front.
+. j. White, cashier Of the American
Bank and Trust company, met Mr.
Niiand while returning from trip to
Minneapolis the first of the week Mr.
Filand handed Mr.. White a list of the
names of the Western Montana boys
who were with him i'll company b, l63rd
infantry, company recruited from
Roundup, but filled out with men from
this part Of the state just previuos to
its departure for France.
The list includes General NJ Jones
Timothy Carpenter and Reimel Wayne
of Hamilton: Lloyd Nogler and John j;
Samuelson of Stevensville, and Charles
johnson. Gunner Johnson, John w
Keith. Edward j. McManus and Daniel
+. Watts, all of Mssoula.
Mr. Niland left France on March Il.
AT that time his company was 50 miles
behind the line and he did not deem
1t likely that it would get into the
fighting that is now raging up and
| down the front. He states that the
boys We're we'll provided had comfort
able quarters and were enjoying army
! life. Mr.. Niland has been mustered
, out of the service abroad and comes
home to engage in other lines of mill

WHAT OF THE CyCLOpS:

The mystery Of the hour is the
fate of the missing naval collier
Cyclops. Indeed. it is something
to engage the interest of all the
Slcuths from Sherlock Holmes
down to willie McGnirc. the
Messenger Boy Detective" Here
is a great ship Of 10000 tons with
crew and passengers to the num-
Der of 1903. disappearing from the
seas without Il trace. II is forty
four days since she sailed from
Barbados to America.
If the Cyclops had been lost in
a storm. although no storm has
been reported, certainly we would
know something Of her, If She
had entered in Il ncrtral, sport she
should have been reported, and if
she had been captured or sunk by
AN enemy ship, that too should
have been reported from enemy
headquarters. There are no enc
my ships at large, except the sub
marines, some of which have
been operating recently in South
american waters and off the
coast Of Spain. Reports OF then
activities have not been official
and are regarded in the light of g
vague rumor. An interesting sur
mise is that the Cyclops may have
encountered one Of these subma.
rines and been sunk without ;
trace" according to the mcthot
advised by the German amhassa'
dor to the Argentine. That, o
course, would also have been pos
siblc, but it would also have beer
a crime Of unspcakablc cnormity
although nothing The Huns nigh
do need surprise one.
Worthy of note. too, is the fac
that the government has though
| it worth while to look up the rec
lord of Lieutenant q. w. Worle,
lof the Cyclop>, Oh the rumor tina
his name was changed from
Wichtman, and that he was Ger
man born. There is no reason t,
suspect his loyalty. but these ar
the days when honest pcopl
fsometimes fall under suspicion
At any rate, the Cyclops will b
i'm the public eye until the mys
tery j. dispelled.

That the trips of the transports

soldiers are not all peaceful is limited
at in a letter received from NJ. J. VAN

who has just arrived in France. Al
though Mr. Van Housen does not give
and details Of his experience he ad-
mts that the ship had one submarine
scare on the trip across the water.
Mr.. Van Housen writes as follows:

during the trip across but to our
