DISTRESS WITHIN
 GERMANY NOT CEASE
 AT END OF THE WAR

NEW YORK, June 4.-The dis tress now prevailing in Germany as result of the war will continue after the return of peace said Dr Georg Michaels the former Chan cellor, in an address in Benneck- stein according to the Cologne Ga Zette. German materialism shared in the responsibility for the war; declared Dr. Michaelis, who added:
 ''We must recognize that we arc also responsible for the war, but not politically, for the Emperor wanted peace up to the last moment. Fate has sent us that because mon ey began to rule among Us. God wanted to save US from complete materialism I would rather re nounce war indemnities if l again should be responsible, than to sec our people be placed by the pay ments of their debts in the danger of sinking into materialism. Dr Michaelis said it would be de- ception to believe that the return Of peace would mean a return of the we'll regulated living conditions of 1914.
 "We must face the fact that we must carry the sufferings of war over into the period of peace,' he said ''We must prepare ourselves inwardly to bear the peace suffer ings without grumbling. Our life also after the war will be subject to enforced regulation. Scarcity of l food and other articles and high 1 prices will continue. Our great debt will force us to adhere to gov ernment control of raw material" /"

 Did the crew succumb to the eff i fects of a poisonous gas given off | by her cargo of manganese? Hardly | it is thought, because all shipping | men used to cargoes of that charac ter take precautions to eliminate l the danger.

 nation is accepted by most naval of
 for the disappearance.
 The Cyclops, although of deep draft and broad beam carried a remarkably high and heavy superstructure. Eight
 great steel derricks lowered over her hull, and there was other heavy framework placed above decks to give her a maximum of efficiency in loading or discharging coal.
 In case of a heavy list to port or starboard, perhaps to the extent of l 45 degrees, the Cyclops, burdened with her heavy derricks, who per haps unable to swing back into equilibrium, crashed over to one side and quickly settled. The heavy cargo of manganese might have shifted md hindered the vessel from right
 ng herself after a severe list. Moreover, vessels which returned to Atlantic ports about the time the Cyclops was due. reported that un- usually stormy weather had been en- countered in southern waters. Caught in the trough of a heavy sea, the Cy-
 clops might have capsized and gone i down quickly, dragging down beneath
 her hull all deck equipment which otherwise might have floated to the surface as an indication of her fate. The theory that the Cyclops sud
 denly went down in a storm is about
 the only theory that adequately would explain her failure to wireless Tn case of danger The fact that no radio calls ever came from the yes sel is one phase that characterizes the disappearance of the ship as one . of the most mysterious in modern ca annals.
 Leaving the West Indian Harbor on March the Cyclops was expected to ouch at an Atlantic port on March l3. When attention was called to ! the fact that she was a few days overdue, no anxiety was felt be- cause it was known she had one en- zine out of commission. However, when a week passed and there was even no news that she had been sighted, a feeling of great apprehen- | sion swept over the Navy Depart ment. Every effort was made to find
 her. but on April IA the Department gave permission to publish the facts, which long had been withheld. | Secretary Daniels still sings to the hope that the mystery will be cleared
 but there are not many in the De partment who share his view.

PRESENT SUBMARINE RAID
 REVIVES INTEREST IN THE
 MYSTERY OF THE CYCLOPS

WASHINGTON, June 5.-What be came of the missing Collier Cyclops
 Is she prize in some German port the victim of treachery? Does she 1 lie disabled in some unfrequented cove of the tropical seas driven there and helpless by accident?
 Or has she made her last voyage and with more than 300 souls turned up in the Port of Missing Men to join seventeen other ships of the American Navy which have disap- peared just as mysteriously since 1871?
 Sailing from Barbados in the West Indies March 4 with a complement of 295 men, the great 19,000-ton na- val collier has not since been sight ed or reported. By order of the Navy Department all available naval craft in southern waters have been making a dragnet search for the yes sel, but daily the conviction among officials grows stronger that the great modern mystery of the sea will remain unsolved.
 But the search for. the ship still is maintained with unabated inten- sity. Cruisers and destroyers have retraced her route. Every island among the scores that dot that DOT tion 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 plucked in day from the busy lanes of the South American trade routes.
 To account for the disappearance of the Cyclops there have been sug- gested 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 accepta- ble because wreckage would have covered the sea for many miles around.
 Was she torpedoed and sunk with out a 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. o. S. calls could have been sent out before the Cyclops went under. Moreover, floating wreckage certain ly would have been found.
 Was she attacked and captured by marauding enemy raider that hat slipped into the Atlantic after elud ing the British fletts? Even if at tackled, it is claimed, the collier's wireless would have put her in com munication with other naval vessels or merchant shipping.
 Did enemy agents, carefully plant ed" among the ships personnel, seize control of the Cyclops in the night and dismantle the radio to make wireless communication with the out side world impossible? This explana ton has but little support because it is claimed that a small army force hardly could be expected to reduce to prisoners force of nearly 30C men, many of them naval reservists Again, if taken by an enemy force aboard where is the Cyclops now Every bay, every inlet capable ol admitting a vessel of her draught has been carefully searched. She had not enough coal in her bunkers to make the transatlantic trp to some German port. Moreover, one engine was out of commission, cutting down her speed to ten knots an hour. Even if additional coal had been procured. she hardly could have slipped past the British patrols into some German port. Her limpine

REDUCTION IN
 USE OF COAL
 BEING PLANNED

BIRMINGHAM, England, June l. A National scheme for household was decided upon at a conference here this week. A reduction in the use of coal for householders is con templated in order to avoid rationing supplies for industrial purposes.
 A Home Office report shows the output of coal from mines in 1917 to be 24S,473,1i9 tons, decrease of 7,S75,232 tons.

ROBERT COBURN, MONTANA
PIONEER. PASSES AWAY

Robert Coburn, one of Montana's
oldest and best known pioneers, died
at his home in San Diego, California,
last Monday at the age of 81 years.
Mr.. Coburn came to Montana in 1868,
during the gold rush. He engaged for
a while in mining but later went into
the cattle business and was one of the
first to grow stock on a big scale in
the state. For years he controlled
thousands of acres of range in north
ern Montana and his herds were
among the finest and largest in the
west.
Mr.. Coburn has been in the midst
of Montana's development since the
white men began to live here, and
his experiences read like a history of
the state. He has traded with the
Indians, fought outlaws with the Wig
~ilantes, and been associated with ev-

ASK RED CROSS
FOR A DONKEY


American Red Cross agents who in
vestigated conditions in the mountain
province of Umbria, Italy, with a view
to aiding the families of soldiers had
an experience both interesting and
amusing. Out of a dozen little viii
lagos visited, in which the people were
found to be in comfortable circum-
stances, there was only one request
for aid. The town officials, at one
place, after admitting they had a IA
vor to ask from the Red Cross, asked
time for further deliberation before
putting in the application. The SER
%iousness of the officials convinced the
Red Cross workers that the town was
going to ask for a large supply of nee.
essities. Imagine the surprise when
the town officials submitted this re-
quest with great solemnity:
"We would like the Red Cross to
give us a donkey and cart. It is to
be used to bring the children living
at some distance from the town to
school. This will enable the mothers
of these children to do their farm
work without interruption"
Needless to say the unique request
was granted by the Red Cross.

tors have agreed that farm work is
one Of the best restoratives. Other
patients, however, greatly enjoy the
outdoor activities and many have be-
come so attached to the soil that they
have announced their intention Of OBJ
tanning farms on their. return to the
United States.
The gardens, moreover, provide
quantities of fresh, green vegetables
to the diet kitchens and especially GER
tain American vegetables not common
in France but very popular with the
patients.
The garden attached to Base Hospit-
al No. 6, for example, produced more
than two tons of green vegetables in
less than three months. As a result
the hospital tables were well stocked
with radishes, potatoes, beans and let
tuce. Included is a large planting of
green corn, which will enable our boys
to enjoy corn on the cob, a vegetable
practically unobtainable in French
markets.
In connection with one of those
farms the Red Cross, with cows loan
ed by the French government, will es'
tablish a model experimental dairy
which in addition to gardening anc
cattle raising will give convalescents
useful recreational employment. Thu
manure from the dairy, it is pointed
out, will be very valuable to the gar
den, which, because of the climate
can be kept in cultivation during tn
entire year.

AS a result of the third national
conference at Washington of the d.
r~ectors of the U. s. boys working re-
serve. a branch Of the federal depart
ment of labor, schools have been re-
ouested to arrange their work on a
war basis.
This means shorter vacations and
school on Saturdays and with special
reference to the labor shortage which
is becoming more acute, instruction in
farm crafts will be given in schools so
that the boys from 16 to 20 may be
enabled to work effectively on the
farms during the summer.
There was some effort to reduce
the minimum age limit for enlistment
in the working reserve from 16 to IA
wears but this was defeated and the
ages remain as before, 16 to 20 years,
inclusive. Those to be called in the
draft will remain as members of the
working reserve up to the time of
their call.
Military Training Likely.
While the war department has the
matter under consideration, no decis-
ion up to the time L. S. Foote, Mon
tana director Of the boys working
reserve, left Washington, where the
conference was held, had been made
as to giving military training in the
high schools. Army officers who
spoke, however, were strongly of the
opinion that this would be arranged
for by the department to be used in
conjunction with the training men,
bers of the boys working reserves. In
other words, members of the latter or
ganization would be eligible for ad-
mission into the military training
corps.
Uniforms and Badges.
Director Foote that
badges and chevrons for the boys who
worked on the farms this summer
will be distributed in November. He
also brought back information thai
the members of the working reserve
will be given uniforms of olive greer
with an insignia worked in a shield

There are hat cords denoting tn
