SURE Of FOUL PLAY
SHIPS MISSING
INVESTIGATION FAILS TO SOLVE
FATE or MANY VESSELS OFF
ATLANTIC COAST.
STRANGE GRAF
Munson Liner Reports Seeing Vessel
Whose Peculiar Antics Bring Re-

a "Raider."

Washington.-The worldwide inTes'
tigation which the government has
conducted in search Of traces Of cleWs
to the fate Of the score of ships which
have disappeared so uncannily off the
Atlantic coast has convinced federal
investigators that foul play figured in
practically every disappearance.
Weeks have passed since the gov
eminent first began delying into the
mystery of the missing ships. The
ports of the world have been combed
for clews, and the mystery is no nearer
solution than it was when the ships
first began to vanish from the face OF
the sea, leaving no traces OF their
going
This much was admitted following
a general conference between govern
mental agencies which have been con-
Quoting separate inquiries. Partici-
pating in this conference were repre-
sentatives of the war, navy, state, COM
merce departments, the department OF
Justice and the coast guard service.
The only theory upon which all were
agreed was that the ships were not
lost through natural causes, such as
storms and hurricanes but that they
disappeared through the operation OF
some yet undiscovered human agency.
A new clew was in the hands OF the
government in the shape OF report
from Captain Giles, Of the Munson
steamship Munalbro, Captain Giles re-
ported sighting a strange craft Of I'M
usual speed 800 miles off Philadelphia
on June 80. Her antics were so pecu-
liar that the shippers suspicious were
aroused.
The possibility that this mysterious
craft may be a raider" which has &C
counted for some of the missing yes
sells. is under consideration.
1t is probable that shippers of other
coastwise vessels may be asked to keeI
an eye open for the strange wanderel
whose name was not discernible and
whose antics were SO suspicious as tt
move Captain Giles to make a report
| on her,
