would raise q similar amount, the |

Government Is Trying to Solve
the Mystery Of the Twenty
Missing Ships.
MAY Be WORK OF PIRATES
Admiral Sims, Home, Tells Secretary
\ DENLY He Was Misquoted-Britain
Determined to Crush Irish Re-
vot-Dawes Made Direc-
tor Of National Budget.
By EDWARD w. PlCkARD.

The interest of the world was excit-
ed and its Imagination stimulated last
week by the remarkable story of the
20 lost merchant ships, the mystery of
whose disappearance our government
is trying to solve. Not since the days
of the German U-boats has there been
any such series Of maritime disas-
ters, nor was there any such before
the war; A number of these 20 YES
sells which have disappeared within a
few months were American or sailing
from American ports. The most mys-
tifying of the instances was that of the
American schooner Carroll A. Deering,
which ran ashore off the North Caro-
lima coast last January with all sails
set and every member of the crew
missing, as were its small boats. More
than two months later the following
message In a bottle was picked up
near Cape Hatteras:
"Deering captured by oil-burning
boat, something like chaser; taking off
everything, Handwriting crew Crew
hiding all over ship. No chance to
make escape. Finder please notify
headquarters Of Deering."
Naturally the favorite theory con-
corning these events is that a pirate
craft is operating In the Atlantic. Rear
Admiral Mutton, commandant of the
Philadelphia navy yard. inclines to this
view. He says:
: ut would be possible for an outlaw
craft to run wild for short time and
IL could do considerable damage to
shipping II there is pirate craft, 1t
was or is operating with forged ships
papers. 1t Is always necessary, when
u ship enters port, to have its papers
examined and this craft could operate
for short time with forged papers.
but in the end it would disclose its
identity.
ut is true, also, that by stripping
vessels of provisions and fuel the out
law could continue operations a long
time, but eventually 1t would have to
nut into some port for repairs. Machin-
cry, you know, cannot run forever
without being overhauled and repaired.
IF such a craft Is operating il VIII
have to return 10 port at some liiie,
and when II does. l assume there viii
be interesting developments.
Another theory is based upon the
fact that about a year and a half ago
the New York police seized documents
which revealed plot which the Uni
ted Russian Workers of the United
States and Canada were forming 10

members who were ont OF work were

CONCERTED ACTION
 FORM00SE HOME Frank Spain Speaks Before Community Club on Desira-

Frank Spain, speaking at the Com munity club luncheon yesterday, called for concerted action on securing for Birmingham the much talked of Moose home.
 It is one of the most important is- sues that has faced the city in some time, he said. every member of the club should acquaint himself with the situation.
 MT. Spain made motion that the meeting next Saturday be devoted to the discussion of the proposition and tEat, if necessary, the subject be de- bated and followed by open discussion. The motion was adopted.
 '1t is important that Birmingham citizens do everything they can to bring to this city the home for aged and infirm members of the Loyal Or der of Moose" he said, flor it will mean much for Birmingham.
 This order expects to spend $1.000,- 900 in the erection of the home and the city is not asked to contribute one cent. Several sites have been secured The majority of the larger cities in the south are going after this institu tion.
 '"rhe band from Mooseheart, the home in Illinois, will accompany the delegation, which will be headed by Senator Foss. The. band ranks second in the United States, it is stated. Con- certs will be given at the Jefferson theatre Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 vciock and that evening at z:5v o'clock. I want as many members of the Community club as can possibly do so to attend both the luncheon and the concert and assist in bringing this home to Birmingham"
