Name of Cyclops
Formally Removed
From Navy Roster

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3O.-The
name Of the missing collier Cyclops
has been formally stricken from the
navy register, Secretary Daniels said
today, and orders have been issued
for the payment by the treasury of
all claims growing out Of the loss Of
her crew.
Secretary Daniels and other naval
officials are certain that the fate of
the 1O,000-ton collier aIways will be
a mystery.
Bound from South America with a
cargo of manganese ore to be used
in the manufacture of war muni-
tions, the collier touched at the Bar
BADGES on March 4. Leaving that
port, she was never heard Of again
and so far most thorough search
developed, the big vessel was not
sighted by any Of the commercial
or fishing craft.
Various theories have been raised
to explain the disappearance Of the
Cyclops, but it has gradually come to
be accepted that the vessel met with
a violent hurricane and turned turtle,
carrying with her 81 passengers, Is
officers and 221 members Of her crew.

An increased number of German

Prussian desertions were almost un-
