OFFICIALS ARE
 WATCHING MANY
 WOMEN ENEMIES

Washington, April 15-Many Ger man and Austrian women are under surveillance by government agents and will be arrested and interned as soon as President Wilson signs the bill which includes women in the class of enemy aliens. It was said today that the number is more than 100. Tn anticipation of this action by the government number of the most dangerous German and Austrian women have left the country recently, officials said today. Enough remain, however, to make it advisable, officials believe, to prevent them from running at large within the United States and gathering information on war activi- ties.
 The women under surveillance, il was said today, include the wives o1 prominent German and Austrian bus iness men, particularly in and about New York.
 Arrangements probably will be made to interne some of the womer in camps with their husbands, unmar' ried women will be cared for il special camps.
 Property in the possession of tht women interned will be taken ovel by the alien property custodian.

 Then they retired to obtain SUD- plies. The French commander i'm mediately organized counter attack, in which American troops participat- 0d, and after fierce fighting elected the enemy. The ground was strewn with German dead.
 Shortly afterward groups of Ger mans were seen to be creeping into the first line of the American posi- tion, which had been voluntarily Jeff unoccupied. American soldiers dashed forward from the support line, en- gazing in grenade fighting and hand to-hand encounters, and after a SC. were engagement repulsed the.

With the factory committee at work in earnest it is expected that many surprises will be sprung in the next few days.
 The campaign among the teachers in the city schools will be carried out this week.

In the previous cam paigns the teachers have subscribed Ia total of $73,000 and the sales this time will bring the total much over $100,000 it is thought.
 The Minute Women are co-operat- ing with the Women's Liberty Loan committee in selling bonds. A com pany of the women under the cap- taincy of Mrs. c. H. Biltz, will take or ders for bonds at the food show to be held in the State Arnpry on April IS, 1 Sand 20. The total sales made by the women up to Saturday noon amount to $81, ,050.

Naval officials were no nearer today to solution of the disappearance than they were three weeks ago when anxiety over the safety of the ship first developed. There is absolutely planation. The big carrier has simp- ly vanished from the sea.
 Suggestion heard most frequently were that German agents had boarded the ship in port and captured her from her people at sea; that she had broken in two and gone down in a sudden squall; that she had been overtaken by a submarine and sunk without trace; and that an internal explosion had sent her down.
 All of these suggestion had flaws in them, officials said. A theory that she had been captured by a peared to be the only explanation that would account for the silence of her wireless equipment.
 Naval vessels have patrolled all coasts in the vicinity of her route, looking for wreckage or survivors. Every vessel known to have been any where in the region at the time has been communicated with. None saw or heard anything of the col Her. Reports from every sourse showed nothing to warrant the storm theory. It is the mild season of the year in those waters.
 The ship had aboard an insufficient l quantity of coal for a journey to the | nearest German port had she been | captured. Some officers think that if | the ship was captured her captors may be holding her out of trade routes waiting for chance steamer from which to obtain coal.
 The explosion theory is met by the i fact that only sufficient ammunition for her few guns was on board. Secretary Daniels said the depart ment had no word that would indi- cate the presence in southern waters of German raider
 1 It is the absolute silence of the wireless that makes the case one of | the most mysterious in naval annals l That fact alone inclines officials to the | view that the ship might have been captured by persons aboard for in nc | other way would it have been possi- ble to silence calls for heln.
 One of the Cyclop's engines was damaged, but it is not believed that the engine trouble had anything tc dc with the disappearance
 Constructors said the Cyclops was one of the staunchest craft of the aux Hilary fleet of the navy.
 The possibility waS suggested that explosives might haveebee put aboard
 mixed in large quantities with the manganese ore and a time bomb set to explode the mass. In that case
 however, the sea would be covered with wreckage.

CZERNIN QUITS POST; FUTILE PEACE MOVES
 WITH FRANCE REASON
PUBLICATION OF LETTER FROM AUSTRIA IN WHICH CHARLES ADMITTED FRENCH HAD
 RIGHT TO ALSACE-LORRAINE BRINGS ABOUT FOREIGN MINISTER'S FALL

Amsterdam, April 15-Count Czernin, the Austro-Hungarian foreign minister, has resigned, according to a dispatch from Vienna.
 Emperor Charles accepted the resignation and entrusted Count Czernin, with the con- duct of foreign affairs until his successor is appointed.
 The recent publication by the Trench government of the futile peace appeal sent out by Emperor Charles of Austria-Hungary in March, 1917, and the efforts of the emperor and the Austro- Hungarian foreign office to explain this letter to the satisfac- tion of Germany and the German em- peror probably were the most potent influences in bringing about the resig- nation cf Count Czernin.
 Since he was appointed foreign minister on Dec. z3, 1916, in succession to Baron Burian, Count CZernin has been very active in trying to bring about peace, and the moderate tone of his speeches has been in sharp contrast with that of the German achancellors and foreign secretaries. Howevr, his participation in the forc- ed peace on Russia as well as that on Rumania did not show that his actions kepts tep with his words.
 In the peace offensive" of the present year Count Czernin, in the Austrian reichrath on June 25, sug- gested an exchange of views between Austria-Hungary and the United United.
