+"And this is the capital thing that is

means fundamental revision of these

WAS IT THE FAULT
OF WORLEY
Commander of the Missing Collier
CyclOps Was Born in Ger
many
(AssOciated Pressl

Washington, April 18.-Diligent
search by naval and merchant ships
has failed to disclose the slightest
trace of the missing naval collier Cy-
clops, and with the passing of the
forty-fourth day since the vessel sail
ed from the Barbados for an Allan
tic port, the belief is growing at the
navy department that the vessel has
been in some way destroyed or cap
tured by the enemy.
Officials regard it as almost impos-
sible that any attack could have caus-
ed the sea TO swallow the big vessel
and the 293 persons aboard without
leaving trace, and some think that
sooner or later an enemy announce
ment will clear up the mystery.
Lieutenant Commander Worley, the
commanding officer, who entered the
naval service twenty-eight years ago
was born in Germany. His wife how
ever asserts that Worley has always
been an enemy TO that country.

ONE RESULT OF THE WAR
Much Needed Surgical Treatment
Being Given by the Government
to Enlisted Men

Editor Star: Tuesday there appear
ed comment in the Star regarding
the healthy appearance of party of
selects sent to the medical advisory
board for further examination.
We believe the public should un-
derstand just what the government is
doing to restore to health many
cases that had previously been re-
iected.
The results of our examination
Tuesday will show just what defects
we are meeting and those that we can
cure either by surgical or medicinal
means, making not only a useful and
healthy soldier for our government
but also making a man physically of
the applicant, a condition that he
should maintain the remainder of his
life. Some authorities claim that we
will be able to cure between 30 and
Is per cent of those previously re-
jected on account of physical defects.
So far our records do not bear this
out, but our total number examined
is too small from which to draw de-
ductions. Total number examined
Tuesday, %; accepted for general
military service, 5-229 70; uncondi-
tionally rejected, 11-50%; condi-
tionally accepted, 4E18%; accepted
for special or limited military service,
2-9Go. BY conditional acceptance is
meant that the select has deformity
that can be corrected by either sur
gical or medical means. That when he
is inducted into service he will be sent
to the base hospital for treatment
and after cure he will be assigned
to active service.
The greater part of these cases are
hernia, and easy of correction, joint
conditions, bone disease and varicose
veins, all of which disable the appli-
cant but which are amenable to cor
rective procedures.
Those accepted for limited or spe-
cial military service embody that
group of men with slight deformities,
such as loss of one or more fingers,
webbed fingers, loss of one hand OF
leg, underweight, ETC., but who are
following some useful occupation in
civil life that will be of service to the
government.
The causes for rejection in this lot
were for organic heart disease, pull
monary tuberculosis, organic disease
of one eye resulting in total or almost
total blindness, one case of inoperable
hernia, and one case of extremely
poor general condition with a congen.
ital defect.
Had the older standard of examina.
tion been adhered to we would havs
had to reject the entire lot, but under
the new regulations we have beer
able to supply the government with
so per cent of these, although onl,
% per cent met the requirements fol
unconditional acceptance.
