NEW CLUE TO CYCLoPs.
Mother of Seaman Hears Collier Is in
Germany

COLUMBIA. S. c., June 25.-Another
Of the many clues to the lost collier Cy-
eIops, all of which so far have been ex-
ploded, turned up here yesterday when
the mother of Otis Ramsey, a seaman on
the ship received telegram from New
York saying that he was safe in this
country again and that the missing YES
sci was in a German port.
The navy records show that Otis Ram
sew of Columbia was a seaman on the
Cyclops and he is listed as lost at
sea, with the ship. The navy, how
ever, knows of nothing that would clear
up the mystery.
Officials think the message probably
is a hoax, but as they expect to solve
the mystery some day they are carefully
looking UP every clue.

Germany Working on Austrian
Treaty.
PARIS, June % ASSOCIATED Press.)- =
If the heads of the allied powers in Paris
do not hear from Weimar very soon re-
garding the German delegation for the
signing of the peace treaty an ultimatum
will be sent to the German government,
according to the Paris office of Reuters,
Limited. The ultimatum will demand the
appointment of penipotentiaries within
certain number of hours.
The treaty of peace will be signed eth
er Friday or Saturday, it is believed Al
though the day has not been definitely
fixed it has been decided the hour for
the ceremony will be at o'clock.
The peace conference secretariat IS still
without official knowledge of the person
mel of the new German peace delegation
and does not know when it will arrive at
Versailles. This lack of official advices
from Germany with regard to the new
plenpotentiaries has caused some uneasl
ness in conference circles and the plans
for the signing of the treaty are in i com
\plete state of suspense. Herr Won Hahn
hauscn, the acting German representative
. at Versailles, apparently is also without
information.
Up to this afternoon no official WORD
had been received here regarding Ger
many's plans with regard to the forma
signing of the peace treaty. The peace
conference leaders were perplexed over tht
situation. 1t is conceded to be impossible
that the ceremony of signing could take
place before Saturday
Unofficial reports were to the effect
it would probably be delayed until Sun
day.

King and Queen
Albert of Belgium Talks
to Then. and Thanks
T hem for Welcome

"Yesm. saw the Queen and she
was lovely-just like a queen in a
fairy story. She had on white dress
all fringe down the front, and she had
on a gold hat, with a green feather
down the side of it; and there was a
lady carrying her umbrella for her so
the sun wouldn't get in her eyes.
"And she came down off the stage
and walked right past where l stood be-
side my teacher, cause I'm the littlest
girl in the class, and they let me carry
the Belgian flag way uD in the front
row. And the Queen came along, walk
ing on the grass in her shinging white
slippers, just like Cinderella, only hers
flag, and | waved it harder than ever,
smiled"
Fhe climax came from the excited
Fps of ten-year- Mollie old in an
explosive whisper. Her own white
shod feet in their stout little boots
danced away across the sheep meadow
in the path of the only King and
Queen who ever stepped out of a
fairy tale for the benefit Of the little
girls of New York.
The Smile. That Won

account of the visit of King Albert and
Queen Elizabeth to Central Park, but
she struck the heart Of it. 1t was
the smile that won the hearts of ten
thousand children Yesterday
The worldlywise youngsters of New
York have all seen pictures of kings
and queens in the moving pictures
Generally they are solemn looking
persons, standing on balconies review
ing parades or presenting medals to
they have seen splendid kings and
beautiful queens in picture books. But
the royal pair Of Belgium shattered
all ten-year-old conceptions when they
walked among the children, smiling
into their eyes and occasionally stop

enthusiastic one.

travelled back and forth in front o.
the children. 1t gave the little girls
wonderful opportunity to take in all
the details of what a real queen wears,
the simple white satin gown, trimmed
with fringe. the gold turban with the
green feather hanging from the left
sloe. and the string of pearls about
her neck.
One little girl, with faxen curls and
big blue eyes. waving a tiny Belgian
nag, attracted the attention of the
hlng, quick to recognize the national
features.
Are you Belgian" he asked.
She answered yes. and he bent down
from his great height of six feet four
and SHOOK hands with the midget. She
said-as we'll as she could for her ex-
citement-that she had been in this
country only three years. Her name
was Antoinette Pyrikas, of 654 Ninth
Avenue.
Royalty at Work
Then came the tree planting. across

the pile of earth around the roots of

thought 1t incumbent upon him to fin

five lusty shovelfuls the Queen inter

he laughed and resigned the shovel
INTO the immaculate white gloved hands
of the Queen.
She threw three shovelfuls. Every
body in the crowd counted, of course.
Then the Crown Prince stepped forth.
bent his back to the task in a fashion
that left no doubt in the mind of any
bystander that he had recently been
a soldier IN the trenches. and gave the
best exhibition Of the day of royalty
at work. There were real cheers from
the workmen as they saw their task
melt under his muscular attack.
On the way TO the automobiles the
royal pair stopped again 10 smile into

people. An old woman reached for his
hand and then with both of hers shook
1t with all the vigor in her slender
frame The King smiled at her, and
then discovered that every one he had
to pass was seeking a similar favor
BY that time the old woman had
captured the hand of Queen Elizabeth,
and tho royal couple paid this kind of
toll through out the length of the alder
manic chamber. Somehow it seemed to
please them.
Reaching the steps in front of the
City Hall, the King, with Mayor Hylan

back Then police inspector motioned
to line of about sixty photog-

shoulder to shoulder with cameras
poised. The line moved forward jost-
ling. Then shutters began to click and
snap, and again a secret service man
demanded, Hats off,"
After that the King and Queen and
Prince Leopold bade farewell to the
Mayor and his family, and amid cheers
motored away to other scenes.
Scarcely an Idle Moment
Hardly an idle moment remained for
either the King or Queen yesterday.
After the City Hall reception the royal
visitors were hurried back to their
apartment at tho Waldorf, where they
prepared for an active afternoon. No
sooner had they completed review of
the school children in Central Park
and officiated at the planting of tree
there, than they began sightseeing

Riding up Riverside Drive as far
north as Dyckman Street the visitors
returned by the same route to Grant )
Tomb. There the King, Queen and
Prince alighted and, descending into
the crypt, placed wreath of American
Beauty roses. While in the crypt the
members Of the party were envelopcd
in almost total darkness, only the
Queens white costume being visible.

Dinner to Score of Guests
While hundreds of expectant persons
fanked the entrance to the Waldorf
Astoria temporarily devoted to royalty,
the Lady in White, who about the same
hour on the previous night jostled
shoulders with the varied life of Broad
way, was last night dining in state
with her royal consort in the East
Room, on the second floor of the hotel.
The affair was of. a more or less infor-
NAL nature, and took the place of the
cancelled Hippodrome entertainment
Covers were laid for a score of guests.
For the first time since she came to
New York, the Queen laid aside the
white gown she has consistently worn,
and which she had with her on her
triumphal entry into Brussels when the
armstice was signed. Last night she
was regally robed in cloth of gold, with
long sweeping train that added to her
height. Diamonds glistened in her hair
and she wore an evening cloak of cerise
velvet. King Albert and the youthful
prince wore the uniform of the Bel
gian army.
Banked With Crimson Dahlias
The guests sat at round table liter
ally banked with crimson dahlias and
ferns. Streamers of ribbon, represent

Dinner commenced at $3.50 and the
guests filed out at 1O:45, their majes-
ties going Immediately to their suite
1t was almost midnight before the dis
appointed crowds, realizing that
royalty did not intend to wander forth
incognitio again, finally dispersed.
Mr. Long said that while the King
regarded New York's reception as "the
greatest souvenir of his life he
thought his ride through lower Broad
way in the morning the greatest
spectacle he had ever witnessed. The
King told Mr. Long the festooning of
ticker tape thrown out the upper
windows of the skyscrapers and the
tossing down of torn paper greatly
amused him.

Symbol in Parchment
Mayor Hylan then handed 20 the
King a scroll of illuminated parch-
the city, and King Albert took the
parchment, which was about the size
of a newspaper folded once length

with question in his eyes as though
he wondered what he would do with it,
An officer Of his. staff came to his
rescue and took JRcr the guardian

to the Mayor. Through it all, the
Queen smiled sweetly, though a trif1c

stared at her unwinkingly, from her
odd and interesting shoes to the pearls
about her fair neck.
King Albert's Reply
The King said:
