COLLIER STILL IS
 MISSING; HOPE
 NOT ABANDONED
GA ssociated Pressl

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 16.- Although no word has been received of the collier Cyclops, which has been missing since March 4 last, the navy officials refuse to abandon the ship as lost and are extending their efforts to unearth some trace of her Many different opinions re- garding the fate of the Cyclops are advanced by various officials.
 Some of them think that German agents boarded her at some port and overpowered the crew. Others believe that she was sunk by an in ternal explosion, and still others that she was sent to the bottom by storm. All of these beliefs have so far been improved It is pointed out that an explosion would hardly destroy the ships main and auxiliary wireless power at the sam time and that there would have been time to call for aid before tn vessel went down. The same reason, ing holds good for a storm, and wreckage would probably have been left in either case which would have been picked up before now by some of the numerous vessels engaged in the search.
 Tonight additional vessels were de- tailed to sweep the wide stretch of waters. Many ships are quartering across the route supposed to have been used by the ship. Speedy de stroyers are engaged in the search, but up to tonight nothing has been discovered, nor any ship spoken to which has heard of the collier since her departure from Barbadoes more than month ago.

This applies not only to commercial bakers, but to all ho- tels, restaurants and boarding hous- es. Those who procure licenses will be entitled to procure wheat flour for baking bread or rolls on the basis of one pound of substitutes for every four pounds of wheat flour. Those who do not secure li- censes and thus subject themselves to the United States food admins tration's rules and regulations must purchase the usual one pound of substitutes for each pound of wheat four"

 The above slogan was decided upon as the result of a conference of administrators and the baking di- vision of the United States food ad- ministration. It Is now effective. All bakers who are not using the re Quired amount of substitutes must cease baking until they are pre- pared to use the substitutes as re- oth be revoked. This applies to bread and rolls only.
 Bakers are urged to use potatoes as substitutes-one pound wheat against four pounds of potatoes be. ing the ration in regard to pota. toes.

 The food administration has decid- ed to permit the bakers of the coun try to offer for sale three-quarter. pound loaf. Heretofore the smallest loaf allowed under the baking regu lations was that weighing one pound The new unit will not dis place the one-pound loaf. but may be baked in addition to it. Indi vidual loaves of the new unit may weigh three-quarters of an ounce un der or three-quarters of an ounce over the prescribed weieght, but an average of twenty-five loaves must weigh not less than twelve ounces Loaves of this weight may be baked either singly or in twin form.
