DID RAIDER Make
AWAY With NAVAL
COLLIER CYCL0PS?

Washington, d. c., April 15.-The
presence of a mysterious raider in the
west Atlantic is thought to have had
something to do with the disappear
ance of the naval collier Cyclops, miss
ing with 293 aboard.
1t was last heard of at West Indies
port with valuable manganese cargo
on board. secured from South America.
She is being sought, but officials have
about given up hopes, with the, report
that an enemy raider had been located,
which may explain the mystery.
No word has come from the big ship
since March 4, though there has been
no evidence of an unknown prowler in
the Cyclops' route There were fifty
seven passengers aboard. including
Maurice Gottschalk. American consul
at Rio de Janiero.

BY CARL D. CIRCUIT

-
Washington, D. c., April 15.-The
turning point in the west has been
reached. The war department weekly
summary issued today voiced this
view.
The advance of the Germans failed
to achieve victory in fighting and they
are on the point of being compelled
to go back to the old local fighting
to gain the line of objective.
The statement of tie war heads
that, while Germany had failed to
score her expected advance, added
also that ii was unwise to belittle the
situation. The survey indicated that
the struggle would be long and bitter.
German Aims.
1t showed that General Foch has
his forces well distributed and that
the Germans will make little or no
more gains.
In the offensive in Picardy, the
Germans sought to force rift in the
lines where the French and British
Join, but when they failed to do this,
they directed their assaults elsewhere.
They then sought to drive a wedge in
the northern sector against the British
and Portuguese, thereby rolling back
the British flank to the sea-

The Liberty Loan campaign in
Hamilton county is practically ended.
Headquarters in this city is still open,
but only for the purpose of giving at
tention to stragglers and to the few
| persons from over the county who are
summoned to appear before the bureau
of military affairs. The total SUBJ
scriptions in this county to date
amount to $s76,15O, which is $35s, $50
above the quota asked.
Iowa's subscriptions in the third
Liberty loan probably will total $685.
100000 as against the states quota Of
$7l 100000, according to information
received here today from headquar-
ters of the seventh federal reserve
bank.
Oregon is the only state in the union
which rises to dispute the claim OF
Iowa to being the first state to raise
her quota in the Liberty Loan cam
paign. This claim. however, is un-
founded. according to Woodworth
Clum, director of sales for the state of
Iowa.

man for Hamilton county, today noti-
fed committeeman over the county Of
the successful close of the campaign
and thanked them heartily for their
cooperation His letter follows:
with the exception of few odds
and ends still to be cleared up. the
third Liberty Loan campaign in Ham

glorious close.
This result would not have been
possible had it not been for the splen-
did cooperation displayed by you and
your co-workers and, as county chair
man, want to express at this time to
the men who participated in this cam
paign, and to you personally, my sin
cere appreciation of the magnificent
work that has been done
"As natural result of your labors,
and those of other Iowa committees,
our state has already received the
credit of being the first state in the
Union to oversubscrbe it's quota,
which was s71,O5O,0OO.
County Among First.
I'VE are not yet able to state def
nitely whether Hamilton county was
the first in the state to reach its quota,
but we do know that we are at least
among the first to do this and have
been advised that a county honor flag
is on the way.
"You and all of us have every reason
to feel proud of the results achieved
and the team work displayed by all
the men has been magnificent. Orders
have been strictly and promptly obey
ed. Every man has done his duty and
done it well.
Our quota was $51S,000 and we
have raised to date $S76.l50. oversub-
scribing by $S5S,l50.
