Food Administrator Clarence R.
Wilson was a target for criticism at
tho meeting. some delegates express
ing the opinion that practical mar

rect the food administration.
John B. Dickman. president of the
union. charged the administration
with being slow to take steps to re-
duce food prices. Referring to the
roundup of sixteen storekeepers on
charges of profteering a few days
ago. delegates to the central body
questioned whether the action would
have been taken had it not been for
the publicity given the investigation
of food prices by the Federal En-
ployes' Union and other organizations.

FEAR COLLIER CYCLOPS HAS
BEEN CAPTURED BY GERMANS

Washington, D. c., April 16.-Orders
for greater efforts to find the missing
naval collier Cyclops, with 293 persons
on board, over due from South Amer
lean waters for more than a month,
went out today to American ships. In
addition, allied naval craft on patrol
duty in the south are aiding in the
search.
So far not one word has come to clear
up the mystery of the Golfers disap-
pearance. Secretary Daniels said today,
however, that he still chung to the hope
that the vessel would report, as many
other navy ships have done, after they
had been given up for lost.
Naval officials were no nearer to-
day to q solution OF the disappearance
than they were three weeks ago, when
anxiety over the safety of the ship
first developed. There is absolutely
nothing on which to found an explana-
ton. The big collier has simply van
ished from the sea.
Suspect German Agents.
No possible theory was rejected by
officials in seeking an explanation.
Suggestions heard most frequently were
that German agents had boarded the
ship in port and captured her from her
people at sea; that she had broken in
two and gone down in sudden squall;
that she had been overtaken by a sub
marine and sunk without trace, and
that an internal explosion had sent her
down.
All Of these suggestions had flaws in
them, it was said. A theory that she
had been captured by a group of Ger
man agents aboard appeared to be the
only explanation that would account
for the silence of her radio apparatus.
Since the ship failed to appear. naval
vessels have patrolled all coast in the
vicinity of her route, looking for wreck

ASSESSOR REFUSES
PLACE; PAY TOO SMALL

Pierre, S. d., April 17.-The attorney
general has replied to inquiry from
Lake county where an assessor decided
ne wouldn't qualify after being chosen,
because the pay was too poor, under the
law, that II such assessor is so UNI
patriotic in these times as not to wish
to serve, after having been a candidate,
and securing the position, because of
the poor pay, that perhaps the citizens
might take up collection and give it
70 him. At any rate, there's no help
under the law to give him more pay,
ana apparently no way OF making him
serve II he doesn't care to.
The attorney general rules that the
schools wishing to make the most of
their time and have summer terms may
term 1T three terms Of four months
each--and that any two will be con-
sidered school year. Consequently
in two full calendar years a student
could get credit for three years work
on the basis of eight months to the
term.

FIXING BLAME FOR

western coal rate case, and now the fad
that the Wyoming mine operators havs
increased the price of coal at the minel
81 a ton, has made the use of Wyomina
coal in competition with eastern coal
prohibitive IN South Dakota, according
to r. w. Dougherty, chairman OF 5hs
railroad commission, who spoke before
the coal dealers of South Dakota, as

Mr.. Dougherty said the Interstate

COUNTIES MAY INVEST
IN LIBERTY LOAN BONDS

Pierre, s. d., April 17.-Some time
ago the attorney general took under
advisement the situation as to whether
the counties, and other such organiza-
lions could directly invest funds in the
Liberty loan bonds. The legislative act
of the late special session does not
specifically say that this can be done,
but the title and the Get ipfers that it
was the intention Of the acA to legalize
such proceeding, of direct appropria-
ton for such investments--and conse-
auently the attorney general has ruled
that 1t can be done. OF course sinking
funds could be SO invested under the
old law--but with the intention of the
new one, as 1T was shown to have been
by legislators, a direct appropriation
can be made by these divisions for
Liberty bonds. by such counties and
other civil divisions as desire to make
them.

from every source showed nothing to
warrant the storm theory.
Carried Little Coal.
The ship had aboard an insufficient
quantity Of coal for journey to the
nearest German port, had she been
captured. Some officers think that If
the ship was captured her captors may
be holding her out of trade routes wait
ing for chance steamer from which TO
secure coal.
The explosion theory is met by the
fact that only sufficient ammunition
for her guns was on board. The ships
cargo OF Manganese ore was not eX-
plosive.
The possibility was suggested that
explosives might have been put aboard
mixed in large quantities with the
Manganese Gre and a time bomb set to
explode the mass. In that case, how
ever, the sea would be covered with
wreckage.
Alfred L. Moreau Gottschalk, United
States consul general at Rio de Janeiro,
