The Fate of the Cyc1obs
. HIS month marks the third anniver

- HIS month marks the third anniver-
sary VI the disappearance of the
United States naval collier "Cyclops,"
which sailed from the West indies for an
Atlantic port in Marc 1918.
The fate II the Cyclops remains today one
of the greatest mysteries Of all time, GER
tainly the greatest maritime mystery of the
world war. The general opinion was that the
ship was sunk by German raider, but after
the signing of the armistice the German ad-
miralty dispelled this theory with the an
nouncement that such had not been the case.
On board the Cyclops was a crew of two
hundred and eleven men, fifteen officers and
ffty-seven passengers. Yet of those two hun
dred and eighty-three men not one has since
Gated with civilization. Are any still alive,
or were all swallowed up in the same mys-
FERROUS tragedy that overlook their ship?
So completely bafflin was the disappear
ance Of the Cyclops that not sign of wreck
age could be found by ships sent out by the
United States Navy department, not vessel
could be found that had heard any calls for
help from the Cyclops, although the collier
We equipped with a powerful radio appa-
ratus. Strangest Of all does it seem that a
vessel of this type could go down without
a single S. o. S. call going forth.
The only lue that was ever unearthed to
the disappearance of the Cyclops was a no.
tice inserted in a Ri De Janeiro newspaper
two days after the disappearance of the ship
was reported. The notice announced that a
mass would be said on certain day in a
Rio church for the repose Of the soul OF
Alfred l.. W. Gottschalk United States ocn-
sul-general Rio, who was a passenger on
the boat The name of the Consul's friends
appeared at the bottom of the notice, but an
Investigation revealed the puzzling fact that
none Of them had inserted the notice or knew
anything of the mass. Even this clue is SO
shadowy hat it may h We no bearing what
ever on the actual fate of the ship
Time may bring to light some token, some
confession that will reveal this mystery; but
today it stands secret of the sea as I'M
fashionable, as strange as the swallowing up
Of the lost continent of Atlantis.

To the average peaceful citizen these hg-

of congressional appropriations in vague

after the late unpleasantness with Form L.,

Of course, the major part of these vast
sums are needed to pay for wars already
fought-wars in which America may claim
truthfully and honorably the highest motives
for entering. Yet it was necessary for Amer
lea to enter them in order to preserve her
own self-respect as a power, even her own
territorial integrity
The pity of it is that, unless the world ma
terially changes within the next few years,
America may expect to enter into future wars
or be forced into future wars without num-
Der. And the taxpayers for countless genera
lions may expect to give this same high per-
eentage of every dollar toward paying for
those wars.
To pursue such a course deliberately and
with open eyes would seem to be folly. And
folly it is when America shrnks from steps
that are sincerely planned to end all wars
when America turns the cold shoulder to
world peace and compacts leading to world
peace.

The Rolling Sidewalk
- HE city of Paris has discovered new
remedy for automobile accidents

remedy for automobile accidents
one which time may see installed in
the chief metropolis of the world. This is
nothing less than rolling or moving sidewalks
which will transport the pedestrian on his
way without fear from charging taxicabs and
thunderous trucks.
AS matter of fact the idea is not alto
gether new. Chicago had a rolling sidewalk
at it's exposition in 1898. Rolling stairways
are operated in at least one great New York
store. Paris itself had a rolling Sidewalk at
the Paris exposition In 1900, fIimsy looking
structure that carried visitors along the Quai
d'Orsay, the Invalides Esplanade and around
the exposition grounds.
The inventor of that sidewalk was De
Mocomble, a French engineer Since the be-
ginning of the century he has been working
on plans for an improved rolling sidewalk,
with the result that he believes it possible to
build tubular case under the present side
walks of Paris wherein a mobile platform
could reach speed of fifteen miles an hour,
transporting fifty thousand persons hour
over the entire length of the boulevards. M.
de Mocomble has so convinced the Paris r'u-
nicipal council of the excellence of his plans
that the members have about decided to
adopt them and have gone so far as to esti-
mate the cost of constructing an initial Sys-
tenn between the Madeleine and the BastiIe,
which would include most Of the boulevards.
Should Paris try the rolling sidewalk, the
result would be watched with interest by
other municipalities, particularly as it con-
Germs the reduction of accidents 1t will be
a fitting test, too, for in few cities is there

MOTION Pictufes as History
okthe rare and the an

~
tique one day will be including
motion pictures in their attention
along with books, paintings and pottery. The
surmise appears justifiable to one who clips
into the future and considers what the world
will be doing twenty, fifty or a hundred
years from now.
May it not be possible, then, that there
will be valuable collections Of motion pic
ture prints, sales of rare films, studious or gal
tteries devoted to their exhibition just as to-
day we have collections Of first editions,
authors inscribed copies. autograph letters,
manuscripts and the like?
Recently in Paris thirteen hundred francs
was paid for a first edition of Anatole
Frances Crime de Sylvestre Bonnard," with
an autograph letter of the author. Walt
Whitman's Leaves Of Grass" the first issue
Of the first edition, went for $40 at New
York sale the other day. American mil
ifonaires without number have lavished their
money in the purchase of the old masters
Of Europe.
True, the motion picture, being more
mechanical than creative art, may show,
and undoubtedly will show, such progress
in the years to come that present-day pro-
auctions may seem crude beside the pictures
of 1850. Yet there will be many reasons
for preserving the best Of these 1920 films.
Whatever the improvement of the mechari-
cal processes, it is to be doubted if some of
our actors can be excelled. Charlie Chaplin,
that engaging comedian may go down to
posterity a great artist; one can sancy
how an original Chaplin picture will be con-
sidered Of extraordinary value seventy-five

capital. Unwary pedestrians are being sent

according to the Paris correspondent of the

president Of the Kensei-Kai, with accepting

men rushed forward and demolished the

there were many fights il the crowd and the
police were forced to intervene, making many
arrests.
After the meeting had broken up, a crowd,
headed by two automobiles, marched toward

two cordons of police, with hundreds of re-
serves in nearby streets and parks. The cor
respondent of the Associated Fress sought to
traverse this district, but was politely re-
