MYSTERIES
OF THE WAR
Seven Riddles Which are Yet to be
Answered Before Entire
History is Cleared
Up.


LONDON, Jan. 6-Nicholas Roman
offs fate remains mystery that may
never be solved.
Latest investigators fail to prove
or disprove report that he was
terinburg. Some bones found near
there cannot be identified.
If he was killed nobody knows who
killed him or what became Of the as
sassins
Six other great mysteries devel-
'oped during the war. Lifting of CEN
sorships has not brought the answers.
What became Of the pistol with
which Gavria PrinziD shot Franz
Ferdinand in Sarajevo, June %, 1914,
, the shot that started the world war
that cost probably 24.0OO,ooO lives ID
war, disease and famine
That pistol was part of the evil
dence against Prinzip at his trial.
Nobody knows what has become or
this priceless relic, deserving preser-
walton in museum.
Did William Hohenzollern's spies
promote sthe plot to have PTnzip Kill
Franz Ferdinand?
This charge was made in London
more than two years ago. William
hated Franz, in whom he saw a man
who would not be a willing vassal.
William wanted war. His spies were
busy in Bosnia What easier than to
have them aid the Prinzip plot7
This may remain one of the dark,
unsolved mysteries Of the war.
What became OF the United States
collier Cyclops?
Secretary Daniels Of the United
States navy marks it down as one OF
the unsolved mysteries of the sea.
The Cyclops left Barbados on
March 4, 1918, with cargo OF man
ganese and was commanded by
George Worley, German whose
name originally was Wichman. and
who had sold his property In Nor
folk, Va, before sailing on that last
voyage. from which the Cyclops new
er returned.
Mrs worley crngs to the belief that
her husband Is alive.
Did Germans sink or seize the Cy7
.clops, or was 1t lost or wrecked in
storm and its survivors marooned on
some desert island? No one can an
swer.
Did Gen. Horatio Herbert Kitchen
er escape alive from the sinking OF
the bTlIlSH WdISulp IAdIAPohAAS WASAA
lit was torpedoed, June 5, 1915. by
German submarine off west Orkney
islands?
Survivors say kitchener was on
deck Just before the ship sank. His
body was not recovered with those OF
his staff. His sister refused to be-
lieve him dead She claimed to have
evidence that he was alive and on
mysterious mission in Russia.
Since the Russian revolution. poth-
ing has come out of Russia to verify
this story. But there still are 'believ-
ers In the Kitchener legend.
How did Alexander Kerensky es-
care out of Russia in 1917? Did he
20 disguised as sack of potatoes?
Or did sympathizers hide him and
smuggle him out of the country? He
got to London in 1918, but never
would tell, in full, the story of his
escape. 1t is still mystery.
How did Gayrio Prinzip, assassin OF
Franz Ferdinand, die?
Was he beaten to death in prison?
Or did he die OF starvation or dis
ease? There is no light to these ques-
tions.
