Washington, April 15--Unremittins
search of trade routes will be carried
on by American and French naval
and merchant vessels until every pos
sible hope OF finding some trace OF
the missing nG.al collier cycIops has
been exhausted. Secretary Daniels
has ordered additional fast scouts de-
tailed for this service.
Although today passed without
report strengthening in the slightest
degree the hope still felt by Mr.. Dam
icls and several of his chief assistants,
these officials refused TO believe that
the great l9,O00-ton collier and the
293 lives she carried could have been
wiped out without leaving trace.
orders have gone out therefore,
for the searching vessels to quarter
every rod of the route covered by tbs
Cyclops and to visit every one of the
scores of islands which dot that por-
ton of the sea.
Every isolated bay will be entered
and every beach scrutinized.
No Theory Is Advanced.
Navy officials frankly confessed
that no theory yet advanced to ex-
plain the disappearance of the Cy-
cIops from March 4, when she LETT

night that that was the West Indian
port from which she sailed-seemed

While II was true that one engins
was out of commission, enough powef
remained to drive the big ship ten
knots an hour. Enemy agents might
have gained control in midnight
mutiny. but even in such well nigh
impossible event, lack of coal would
have prevented an attempt to start
on trans Atlantic voyage.
No Report of Hurricane.
The possibility that sudden hur-
ricane, not infrequent in those waters.
might have first disabled and then
engulfed the collier was admitted, but
again it was pointed out that some
evidence OF the disaster must have
been left in this case. Moreover there
has been no report OF a hurricane.
As to report that a member of
the crew had written relatives in Bal,
timore regarding an explosion on the
Cyclops several weeks ago, Ii was
stated at the navy department that
nothing Of the sort had been reported
by Lieut. Commander G. W. Morley,
commanding the collier,
