Income Tax Slackers May
 Beware; Roper Is After Them

From the intensive campaign later revenue agents will be sent into other districts than their homes. where To- cal influences will not be so strong, armed with precise information con- corning the income of persons who failed to file returns. Much of this in- formation now is being gathered from the reports of payments of more than $500, which the revenue bureau is classifying in Washington.
 Other sources of information are club membership lists records of au- tomohile sales and licenses. real es- tate transfers, Liberty Loan suhscrip- tions, donations to Red Cross or char- itable institutions and even "society dcpartments of newspapers which chronicle frequently expensive vaca- ton trips of families from which no income was filed.
 Hundreds of letters have been re- ceived both here and at district coi- lectors offices in the last week from individuals giving valuable tnforma- ton on others who did not make re- turns or reported less income or prof. it's than they actually made. Most of them are anonymous.
 After these delinquents are classified fully and notices sent to them by col- lectors there is no cnance of evxdinx penalty. There are two classes, 50 pei cent of the tax additional to be as- sessed automatically by the assessor and 2 fine of between 420 and t1eBO which may be collected on court ac- tion, or comprbmsied by agreemtlit he tween the collector md tho taxpay6t.

Washington, April 15.-Precedins a drive against delinquents on income and excess profit tax returns. Internal Revenue Commissioner Roper today announced reorganization of the rsv- enue agent force with John p. Mur- phy of Boston as chief revenue ageut |, succeed L. c. Mutt.
 Other rearrangements of the force of revenue agents probably will be made soon to increase the efficiency of the machinery for detecting tax dodgers and to provide greater de-
 gree of supervision of the work q district collectors and revenue agents in the special campaign against de- l,nquents.
 The intensive drive against delin- ouents will not start until July. tut before then information on. which to base prosecution will be gathered from a multitude of sources Meanwhile per- sons who failed to file returns April are still permitted to report volpn- tar.ly with the understanding that the penalty win be nominal if it is Aot

instant. but surface wreckage would have remained. Enemy agents might have gained control in a midnight mutiny but even In such well-nigh impossible event, lack of coal would have prevented an attempt to start on a transatlantic voy- age.
 The possibility that sudden hurricane, not infrequent in those waters, might have first disabled and then engulfed the collier, was admitted, but again it it was pointed out that some evidence of the disaster must have been left in this case. Manganese ore, with which the Cy- clops was heavily laden. might, under certain conditions, give off an extreme ly dangerous gas. Precautions have been taken against this, however, on all ships engaged in the manganese carrying trade.
 As to report that a member of the crew had written relatives in Baltimore regarding an explosion on the Cyclops several weeks ago. it was stated at the navy department that nothing of the sort had been reported by Lieut.. Commander |C. w. Morley, commanding the collier.

Although today passed without report strengthening in the slightest degree the hope still felt by MT. Daniels and several of his chief assistants, these officials re- fused to believe that the great 19.0Oo-ton collier and the 293 lives she carried could have been wiped out without leaving a trace. Orders have gone out, therefore, for the searching vessels to ''quarter' ev- cry rod of the route covered by the Cy- clops and to visit every one of the scores of islands which dot that portion of the sea. Every isolated bay will be entered and every beach scrutinized.
 Navy officials frankly confessed that no theory yet advanced to explain the disappearance of the Cyclops from March f. when she left Barbadoes-it was of ticially stated tonight that it was the West Indian port from which she sailed seemed plausible in the face of the facts. While one engine was out of commits sion, enough power remained to drive the big ship 10 knots an hour. An internal explosion might have destroyed the ves- sells wireless and motive power at one

WHO WILL SUCCEED
 STONE? QUESTION ' WORRYING CAPITAL

Washington, April 15.- There was much discussion at the capitol today as to who would be appointed by the governor of Missouri to fill the seat of the late Sen ator Stone of Missouri until the next election. Names of probable appointees included former Gov. Joseph w. Folk of St. Louis, former Gov. Alexander
 Dockery of Gallatin, Mo, now assistant
 Postmaster General; former Gov. David
 R. Francis of St. Louis. now ambassador
 to Russia. and Samuel B. Cook of Jef- ferson City. formerly secretary of state of Missouri.
 Some congressman thought that the governor might offer the appointment to
 Speaker Clark as compromise. In their opinion. however. there is little likeli- hood that MT. Clark will accept.

 IL has been the German plan of
 campaign since March 2t, when the great offensive started, to strike
 hard at some particular sector
 and if the blow was parried 10 turn powerfully against some new
 point. This procedure probably
 will be followed in the next few
 days by . new assault somewhere

 Ypres Is hardly possible, for the lowlnnds of Belgium are as yet
 to waterlogged to permit active
 operations. An attack on Arras
 would entail the hurling of troops
 against vimy ridge, the labyrinth

 works protecting that city.
 1t may be that the savage hght- ing repoted at Hnngard En Snn-
