DEER SEEK LIVING
 FROM MEN EMPLOYED AT
 CANNERY CONSTRUCTION

DOUGLAS, May 11.-Captain r. Clyde of the cannery tender Alice which has been on the channel for the past few days, tells of the deer at Noble, where the Todd Packing Company is erecting new cannery on Pearl Strait, coming to the camp where the men are quartered where they practically beg for food every day. In all the men have been feed ing 45 deer in one band for the past several weeks.
 Captain Cagle tells of having taken a walk out on the beach short dis tance from the site of the new can nery and of having come on the bodies of several dead deer and ol living ones who were too weak to get out of his way.
 There is movement on foot tc seek aid from the Government foi deer before another Winter comes and it will be necessary to do some thing of the kind if they are not tt become extinct. True, the past Win ter was an exceptionally severe one but another such would practically exterminate the deer family in this portion of Alaska.

ENLISTED MEN ARE HONORED SAME AS
 THOSE IN THE DRAFT

DOUGLAS, May 11.-For the req son that only drafted men were in evidence at the farewell rendered yesterday, much of the patriotic sen timent expressed was for the pur- pose of including the many who did not wait for the draft but who ar ranged as soon as possible after war was declared to get into it and who departed, some of them, as far back as year ago.
 That the community did not give the enlisted men farewells was due to the fact that they were going out steadily one and two at a time and not in body as went the drafted men. But not for a moment would anyone think of detracting from the glory and honor due those who did not wait for the draft but who went forth to meet the enemy without be- ing invited by their country to do co

With 15 Officers, 57 Pas sengers and 221 Men, Nothing Has Been
 Reported.
WEATHER NOT VERY BAD
Naval Collier Was Equipped with a Wireless and Could Easily Re-
 port Herself.

WASHINGTON, May S-The Ma val collier Cyclops is proving mys- tery of the ocean without parallel, when one considers the large num- Der of people aboard of her and the fact that the weather conditions have not been sufficiently stormy to cause her loss from that source.
 Officials are still trying to work out the puzzle The Navy Depart ment has given out the following statement:
 The U. s. s. Cyclops, Navy col Her of 19,o0o tons displacement, loaded with a cargo of manganese and with personnel on board of 15 officers and 221 men of the crew and 57 passengers isA overdue at an Atlantic port sinceS March 13. She last reported at one of the West Indian Islands on March 4, and since her departure from that port no trace of her nor any information concern ing her has been obtained. Radio calls to the Cyclops from all possible points have been made and vessels sent in search of her along her probable route and areas in which she might be-with no success
 Weather Has Not Been Bad
 No well founded reason can be given to explain the Cyclops being overdue, as no radio communication with or trace of her has been had since leaving the West Indian port The weather in the area in which the vessel must have passed has not been bad and could hardly have giv en the Cyclops trouble. While 6 raider or submarine could be respon sible for her loss, there have been no reports that would indicate the presence of either in the locality ir which the Cyclops was.
 One Enjne Injured It was known that one of the two engines of the Cyclops' was injured and that she was proceeding at q reduced speed with one engine com pounded. This fact would have nc effect on her ability to communicate  by radio, for even if her main en zines were crippled or even totally disabled the ship would still be ca pablo of using her radio plant. The search for the Cyclops stil continues, but the Navy Department feels extremely anxious for her safe ty.
 Lieut.. Commander Morley in
 Command
 Lieut.. Commander G. w. Morley United States Naval Reserve Force was in command of the Cyclops. The Cyclops was built at the ship yard of William Cramp and Sons Philadelphia; the keel laid June 2 1909; she was launched May 2, 1910 and commissioned November 7, 1910 She had a displacement of 19,3OO tons; length over all, 542 feet; beam 65 feet; mean draft, loaded 27 feet 8 inches; and cost $923,000.

 A SUSPECTED SPY

FL PASO, Texas, May S.-An ap. parently innocent question about the alligators in the plaza pool led to the arrest of Miss Catherine Schmid by Federal officers on the charge of espionage.
 Soon after her arrival here from the New Mexico coal fields Miss Schmid was standing beside the plaza alligator pool watching the Mexican attendant feed the scaly pets Turn ing to a soldier in uniform who was standing beside her Miss Schmid asked if the animals really were alive as they had not moved for an hour prior to the feeding This start. ed a conversation which resulted in the soldier walking with Miss Schmid to her rooms. Later she visited him at Fort Bliss during a concert and her questions were such as to arouse suspicion in the mind of the soldier who reported the incident to his com manding officer and later to the unit intelligence officer.
 An investigation by Federal agents followed and Miss Schmid was ex- amined and then placed in the coun- ty jail to await her preliminary hearing. A search of her belongings revealed many notes scribbled on backs of envelopes about American Government officials. including the President She also had letters from persons with German names in the East and Middle West. Among her possession was found code which, to be for coding messages in the Spanish language. %'The code bore evidences of having 'beea used

WHY, OH WHY

:. DOUGLAS, May 11.-Considerable feeling was expressed here yester- day over the fact that the transport Peterson did not call here for the drafted men. the captain of the boat admitting that his instructions on leaving Fort Seward were to call at Douglas. In fact, the matter was very much messed up" and had not Manager Bradley at Treadwell put his company's boat, the Amy, at the disposal of the men, they would have been much inconvienced in reaching Juneau. Those who attended the farewell ceremonies at Juneau were much impressed and those who miss cd them were the losers. But, out of courtesy to the drafted men of the Island and of their families and friends. it was felt that farewells should have been said at home.

as frequently been approved in the COM

poetry must have these pieces and other
folks can enjoy them for their own sake.
They run from 1857 to 1907, and are
here arranged in chronological order, with
the exception of eleven Border Ballads,
bulked at the front of the book-and far

interesting contents. In predatory note
Mr. Edmund Gosse explains with great
illumination the significance of Swim

the most difficult form of writing to imi-

thing at all. Not one person in a thou
sand can even read them right when
genius has succeeded in transcribing them
honestly.
Besides the ballads, the book includes

Every writer, great or small, has had
the two experiences, of destroying in haste
copy whose loss has afterward been re-

never have been missed if burned or
