Investigate Cyclops Letter

stock in the latest appearance of a
supposed message from some member
of the Inflated Cyclops crew. the dis
eoyery OF the note in hottie on the
North Carolina coast will I've investi
gated A report of the discovery is
expected to reach Secretary DENLY
today.
Officers last night expressed doubt
over any message found in a lottlc
and do not think the bit of informa-
ton that the Cyclops was sunk by 4
German submarine comes in any au-
thentic manner 1t is recalled that
the bottle was found in the locality
Of the North Carolina coast where
The schooner Carol A. Deering was
last seen before she was found beach
cd and deserted on Diamond Shoals.
In that instance a bottle message say
ing that the Deering had been cap
tured by an oil-burning boat, some
thing like a chaser" was found, but
investigation led to the conclusion
that the Deering message was the
work of a Carolina coast fisherman.
1t was proved TO be fake.

Fca, 5 Navy WIN BE Inferior

The actual naval strength of the
Unitod States in case of war would
be greatly inferior to that of Great
Britain. Notwithstanding that the
Anericsn and British navies are
pl ice6 on a practically equal basis
by the naval treaty agreement, de-
{ Jared Senator Joseph E. Ransdell, of
Louisiana, in speech in Congress
Saturday.
Speaking on the naval arms treaty
and the legislation designed TO eX-
tend government aid to American
shipping, Senator Ransdell said that
a navy, without adequate support
from its national trade fleet, is prac-
tcally powerless.
There is only one way for our
expectation OF naval equality to lie
realized" he declared, and that is
for America 10 make very material
additions to its commercial fleet.
Swift vessels of commerce, carrying

knots preferably twenty knots an
hour and from 10000 to $4,000 tons,
are most effective as auxiliaries 10

We call these things extreme:

that that's what he had ordered,
and, of course, that's what he
got. In that state anything may
happen.

KANSAS LEADERSHIP

William Allen White. who has
always known what the kansans
were up to. told them many years
ago that they should raise less
well. less of what Kansas was
raising at that time. and that they
should apply themselves more
diligently to the raising of corn.
But Kansas is not brought into
line so easily as all that. They
have raised and are still raising
things out there that do not in
the least resemble corn. There
seems TO be something explosive
about the typical Kansan. You
never can tell what he is going

THE SPARROW

sparrows are known, to have lived
40 years.
The sparrow is one of the birds re-
ferred to In the Bible.
The English sparrow hasieliminated
the thistle and caterpillar from New
Zealand.
The song sparrow is about the size
of the English sparrow, but has a
longer tail.
A single pair of sparrows and a
nest of young ones consume about
300 insects a week.
The clipping or field sparrow is
smaller than the English sparrowJand
has no spots on its breast.
The sparrow flies at the rate of 90
miles an hour, bait for short distances
can fly at the rate OF SO miles an
hour.
The home or English snarrow is per-
haps the most familiar ofthe seed-eat-
