New York, December S-Washington advices. indicating a possible early set clement of the strive situation, caused a better feeling in the local trade, with continued demand for the near positions. The ginning figures were about in line with expectations, and, therefore, did not influence the market. Unless the coal strike is adjuste immediatelyd we fear that many New England mills will be forced to close down pending settlement of this unfortunate conditional. W. Jay & Go.

gale" was the fate of the Cyclops,
from which nothing has been heard
since January I. 1913. the navy de-
partment has decided.
Prior to the armistice, navy ofn-
ciaIs entertained the alternative the
cries that the vessel might have been
either sunk by U-boat then operat-
ing In West indian waters or cap
tured and taken to "a German port.
Since the signing Of the armistice,
inquiries have been made In Ger
many but no record OF the vessel
having been encountered by q Ger
man warship was found. Navel Of
ficiais have finally accepted the con-
clusion that the Cyciops was caught
IN a gale, that her heavy cargo, man
ganese. shifted, sending the vessel
down with all on board and without
le4g4ng a trace. Tho vessel was en-
route from Rio Janeiro to New York
and had touched at the Barbados
when last heard OF.
That such conclusion has been
finally accepted ie tho official infoT-

GIVES IMPETUS TO
CHICAGO PASTORS

Rev. w. 3. Norton, writing In the
Chicago Tribune. says that the rati-
fication OF the national prohibition
amendment has given a new impetus
to the enthusiasm OF Chicago pastors
and churches in far-reAching designs
OF the Chicago Plan commission.
Fear OF what the liquor interests
would do formerly initiated against
giving Chicago seif-government, and
the greater concern for the moral
welfare Of Chicago, dampened the ar
dor for simply material enlargement
and architectural beauty. Now with
the certainty OF the removal Of the
smoking breweries and the siums,
which are the concomitants Of the
saloon, every clergyman will feel like
bending his back to the task to make
Chicago the first city in the United
States.
The Chicago plan was born IN the
atmosphere OF the Dream City. which
was built in ackson park as the
home Of the Worlds Fair. with the
desire that Chicago might become as
permanently beautiful as the Worlds
Fair city was beautiful for the brief
months OF Its history. Every minis
ter can speak with a sense Of fulfill
ing his holy mission as a herald OF
glad udings and a bringer-in Of the
Kingdom OF God when he pleads for
cooperation OF the citizenship OF his
church community with the Chicago
Plan commission.
