pale color of the olive leaves is be-
cause they still reflect the glory that

ured on Olivet. Some hold that 1t was
the poplar from which our Lord was
compelled TO fashion His cross. and
that is why 1t has never ceased to

suffering. To this day many French
Canadians refuse to cut "popple."

GREAT TRUTH MADE MANIFEST
Little Group Of Followers Of the
Master First Had True Concep-
ton of Immortality.

In the mournful quiet of Easter even
der the half hope, half sorrow long
ago. No happy preparations stirred
the little group of friends and believ-
ers all the busy ways were for the
enemies who made ready for their
feast with much outward show Of cere-
monial.
Under the despair that overhung the
little outcast band lay the half con-
scious. scarcely daring hope, like n
muffied dream. They had seen the
dead grain sink into the ground and
now waited for the coming forth of
the fruit. Living so long close to the
presence of the Master, it WAS not
strange that they could abide apart,
still under its influence, in unquestion-
Ing simplicity expecting the fulhllment
of his words: Except the grain fall
into the earth and die 1t cannot bring
forth fruit"
When the still, mournful even was
over, and the earliest breaking of day
showed them the empty husk of the
tomb, the great truth of the fruit
brought forth" surged over them. One
by one. breathlessly, each broke into Il
musical utterunce of faith and JOY
! from clear hearts that accepted. The
olden knowledge of the death of the
grain So long familiar To them rs u

Washington. June 6.-What became
Of the missing Collier Cyclops7
Is she a prize in some German port
the victim of treachery? Does she
lie disabled in some unfrequented cove
of the tropical seas, driven there and
helpless by accident?
i Or has he made her last voyage and
with more than 800 souls turned up
in Port of Missing Men to join seven
teen other ships of the American navy
which have disappeared just as myS-
teriously since 1881?
Sailinf from Barbados, in the West
Indies. March 4 with a complement OF
295 men, the great 10000 ton naval
collier has not since been sighted or
reported. BY order of the navy de-
partment. all available navy craft In
southern waters have been making a
dragnet search for the vessel, but dali
lv the conviction among officials Is
growing stronger that the great mys-
terry of the sea will remain unsolved.
But the search for the ship still is
maintained with unabated intensity
Cruisers and destroyers have retraced
her route. Every island among the
scores that dot that portion of the sea
is being carefully scrutinized for any
clue. But the unremitting anxiety OF
the searchers has failed to disclose
any trace of ship apparently pluck
ed in a day from the busy lanes of the
South American trade routes.
To account for the disappearance OF
the Cyclops. there have been suggest
ed many theories-all possible, none
entirely plausible.
Was she blown into fragments by
heavy charge of explosives placed in
her hold before she left port? This
explanation is hardly acceptable be-
cause wreckage would have covered
the sea for many miles around.
Was she torpedoed and sunk with
out trace" by a German submarine
that had crossed the Atlantic to prey
on comparatively unprotected ship
ping? That theory is discounted, be-
cause in such case, at least few S.
0. S. calls could have been sent out
before the Cyclops went under. More
over, floating wreckage certainly had
to tell the tale.
Was he attacked and captured by a
narauding enemy raider that had slip
BED into the Atlantic after eluding the
British fleets? Even if attacked, it is
,laimed, the colliers wireless would
lave put her in communication with
,ther naval vessels or merchant ship
ling.
Did enemy agents, carefully planted
lmong the ships personnel, seize con-
rol of the Cyclops in the night and
lismantle the radio to make wireless
with the outside world
This explanation has but
title support because it is claimed
small enemy force could hardly be ex-
oected to reduce to prisoners force
If nearly 300 men, many of them ma
,al reservists.
Again, if taken by an enemy force
abroad. where is the Cyclops now?
