1--WE visited Lille just four days
after its evacuation by the Germans.
1t is the second largest city of France
and had been occupied ever since
1914. 1t is the only city in all the
war zone where there is no evidence
of destruction. The city was gaily
decorated, a flag flying from practi-
cally every home. 1 inquired how
the flags had been kept all during
the period of occupation, and was in
formed that a few days before the
Germans evacuated the city, and
when they knew they would leave,
the Germans had made the flags and
sold them to the people of Lille. This
accounted for the presence of the
flags of all the Allied nations in such
great number so soon after the evacu-
alton.
Splendid Reception Awaits President
Wilson.
To-day in France and Great Brit
ain the people fairly worship the
President of the United States. There
is q great distinction between the
politicians and the people of these
countries. Some Of the politicians
see opportunities for the acquisition
Of territory, but the people have not
lost sight of the promise that this
war has been fought in order to make
impossible a recurrence of such a ca
tastrophe. Into practically very
home death has come and the belief
Of the people is that the war has
been fought in vain unless it shall
serve to prevent var in future. And
this also may be said of the man
who has been through the he'll of
fighting in the line. He has seen
that there is no glory in modern war
fare, and now that his work is done
le looks to the statesmen of the world
to arrive at a settlement that will
make another world wal impossible.
The thoughtful man in England and
France knows that this cannot be
done by any settlement based on the
idea of maintaining a balance of pow
er, for this will mean increased arma-
mert and continued m%ilitarism in
order to insure that balance of pow
er; and he hopes for a settlement
based on a League of Nations with
authority to decide international dis
putes and a force sufficient to vail
date it's DEGREES.
with unanimity they look to
President WILSON to bring to the
peace conference the influence to
make possible such a settlement as
they desire, and with implicit faith
they trust him. If he shall go to the
peace conference, there awaits him
in France a welcome such as has
never been given to an individual
in the history of the world"

Washington.-Grouped with the
great fotilla of missing ships that
have put to sea and never reached
port is the U. S. S. Cyclops, whose
name has been stricken from the
United States naval registry.
There has been no more battling
mystery in the annals of the navy
said Secretary Daniels today in his
annual report, referring to the disap-
pearance of the vessel.
Probably not until the sea gives up
it's secret will the fate of the Cyclops
be known. For months the single
word missing was written opposite
her name During that time all the
resources of the United States and
the allied governments were drawn
upon to find the vessel or learn her
fate. They availed nothing.
Unlike most of the vessels that the
sea has swallowed and left no trace,
the Cyclops was a modern steamship
of 10000 tons, equipped with wire
less and every device known to safe
guard a ship and those on board. She
was we'll differed and had a crew of
213. There we're also 81 passengers.
Not one has been heard from since
the Cyclops steamed out of Barba-
does early in March.
1t was March 4|when she put into
the British West Indies for coal. She
was due in her home port the latter
part of March.
"Since her departure from that
port, there has been not a trace of the
vessel and long continued search of
the entire region proved utterly fu-
tile, not a vestige of wreckage having
been discovered" said Secretary Dan
iels in his report.
"No reasonable explanation of her
strange disappearance car be given.
1t is known that one of her two en-
gines was damaged and that she was
proceeding at reduced speed, but if
the other engine had become disa-
bled, it would not have had any eff
feet on her ability to communicate
by radio.
MANY theories have been advanc-
ed but none that seem to account sat-
isfactorily for the ships complete
vanishment. After months of search
and waiting the Cyclops was finally
given up as lost and her name strick-
en- from the registry"

NO NEWS OF THE CYCLOPS.
Henry Fielder on Vessel.-Mystery
Has Not Been Cleared.

Henry Fielder, of Bamberg
was a member of the crew Of
the Cyclops, which, apparently,
was swallowed up by the sea.
The loss of the Cyclops has been
one of the sea mysteries of re-
cent years. With the coming
of peace, it was hoped there
might be some things from the
lost vessel. So far none have
been received.

BY@RNESYISITS WAR SCENE
SOth DIVISION WAS ATTACKED
FROM FUNNEL IN REAR.
People Of France and Great Britain
Have Great Faith in Presi-
dent Wilson.

Representative James F. Byrnes
of Aiken, who has just completed an
extended trip through the European
war zone, in company with Repre-,
sentatives Richard S. Whaley, OF
! Charleston, and Carter Glass, of Vir.
ginia, is back on the job at Wash
ington.
Congressman Byrnes talks most in
terestingly and wildly if his expert
ences and impressions on the notable
tour. When asked to say something
for publication Mr.. Byrnes dictated
the following:
GAS a member of the %appropria-
lions committee, I, of course, wei
coined the opportunity to visit the
service of supplies in France and
there see how the millions we appro-
priated have been spent. When the
history of the war is written 1 think
the outstanding feature of Americas
participation will be it's magnificent
success in establishing and maintain
ing a line of communication across
the seas.
"Only by a personal visit to one of
the supply depots in France can one
have any conception of the magni-
tude of the undertaking.; of the con-
crete docks with all modern equip
ment at the ports; of the, railway con-
structed and of the complete railroad
yard at Gievres surprising any rail-
road yard in the States; of the re-
frigerating, warehousing and salvage
plants-all linked in the chain which
made it possible for America ade-
quately to supply it's fighting forces
that in all of our travel along the
American front did not hear one
American soldier complain either of
the quality or quantity of food or of
the adequacy of his equipment.
Fine Work Of Gen. Hagood,
South Carolinians in particular
have reason to- be proud of the sue
cess of this department, because the
achievement is due in great measure
to t~he>executive ability of Gen. John
o Hagood, of South Carolina, who,
as chief of staff, developed the or
%ganization responsible for it's eff
cheney.
After inspecting the service of
supplies We visited all of the fronts.
In the closing days of the war when
the Germans were %retreating along
the British and French fronts the
uniformed may have wondered why
the Americans did not make CORE
spending advances, but the military
experts of France and Great Britain
frequently told us that the Germans,
in order to conduct their retreat, had
to hold the line in front of the Ameri-
cans; that it was the hinge upon
which the whole German line would
swing backward just as a gate
would swing upon a hinge; that the
Germans knew that if the Americans
could break through there, nothing
could prevent the capture of the
whole German army. Consequently
in front of the Americans the Ger
mans massed their best divisions, the
Argonne forest lending itself readily
to their purpose. When the story
of the fighting of the Americans is
told, it will be a chronicle of sacri-
flee, of skill and of courage unparal-
