Urday. plans are being laid. it was
learned, for several large calls during

understood Draft men will be called

POLICY MAY SPELL
CAUSE OF DISASTER
RADIO CALLS UNAVAILING.

The Cyclops was built at the ship
yard Of William Cramp C Sons. Phil
adelphia. The keel was laid on June
2, 1909. and she was launched May I,
1910. and commissioned November Z,
1919.
She has q displacement OF 1880
tons: length over all 6I2 feet; beam 65
feet: mean draft, loaded, n feet s
inches: and cost $923,O0O.
While the Navy Departments state
ment says that the Cyclops was pro-
ceeding at reduced speed on account
or an accident to her engines, no par
ucular worry existed over that fact
OF itself, because. 1t was explained,
even under one engine she would have
been able to make port long before
this date. Had she been In any Sc
rious danger she would have sent a
wireless message apprising the de-
partment Of that fact but no such
word was received.
SpurIOs Versenktf
What worries the department
most is that she has apparently
disappeared without leaving a trace.
None of the officials believes that
she was the victim of a raider. sub
marine or enemy mine. Reports
constantly sent in by the cruising
scouts have shown that the lower
part of the Atlantic Ocean was
free from these enemy ships. More
over. officials have continually
pointed out that the furthest west
of the raiding submarines has been
or the Azores Islands
Super-U-Boat Causef
These raids have been made by
C-boats of something like the four
hundred foot type Raids in the
vicinity OF where the Cyclops was,
could have been made only by a
uper-submarine. or one operating
from a base in southern waters,
and the Germans have no such base
Some idea exists that the ship may
have caught fire and been destroyed
in an explosion: but the remarkab BILE
thing is that not a single trace of
wreckage has been found any place.
Some hope is strong that the Cyclops
may turn up at some out OF the way
part Of the world, like the Myrant,
which, driven for days in a terrific
storm. finally appeared in a port in
the Southern seas. when she was
long overdue.

geographically, fighting in a level
country in the face Of the German
batteries empIaced on heights.
One thousand German shock troops
have been engaged in this battle. To-
night there was no prospect of a let
up in the fighting. The prisoners taken
by us are from the Sixteenth Pioneer
Regiment. sappers from the Twenty
fifth and Sixty-flfth Landwehr regi-
ments. and some of them are Uhlans
of the cavalry units so frequently men,
toned in the first part Of the war.
These prisoners admit that they be-
longed to reserve forces and that they
thought they could scare" the Amer
leans and take our third line and
hold 1t with ease. They were stunned
by the smashing repulse administered
to their assault.
Surrender" "NethinR Doing"
One Of the heroes of the battle is an
American lieutenant whose home Is
near Boston and who was formerly a
grocery clerk. He commanded a ma
chine gun unit. and accompanied by a
sergeant and three privates he STUN
bled on nineteen Germans in the en-
emy's first line. The Germans cried,
surrender"
Nothing doing" bawled the Amer
lean lieutenant in plain United States,
and added: "All together. fellows"'
Whereupon he shot the German lieu
tenant through the head with his pis-
tol. The other Germans then threw
up their hands and surrendered. The
lieutenant put the captives on a truck
and personally took them to head
quarters. Invited by his superior offi-
Ger to explain the capture, the lieu
tenant replied:
I'D like to report the details later,
sir. There's lots of work back there,
and I'm anxious to get back"
Work TIL Exhausted.
The members of the regimentaI band
volunteered for litter service in the
front lines. They worked under the
withering artillery and machine gun
fire until they were exhausted.
A courier ran through a rain OF
shells. message in his left hand, an
automatic in his right. He was froth-
ing at the mouth, and had Just
strength enough to gasp:

He fell, unconscious.
Here's the way one American pri-
vate, formerly a plumber, describes
the fray:
There was no time to be scared
after it warmed up. We wondered
how we'd come out and IL we'd stand

expected to stand it. The night be-
