Efforts tn re.establish a grand or
Weimar coalition. including the So

pies party, representing the great
industrialists. and the Socialist eco
nomic doctrines.
There il practically no doubt exs

be charged with forming a new
government following his resigna

His most difficult task will be the

CLUE IS FOUND
TOFATE Of
CYCLOPS
May Have BuckIed and Sunk
at Sea Due to Fault in
Structure

Did the Inflated naval collier
Cyclops buckle and sink to her
lonley grave with her human cargo
of 29O souls?
Naval experts were asking them
selves this question today as re-
suit of an accident to the collier
Orion, which forced her to put back
to Hampton Roards naval base in
a sinking condition. The Orion
was a sister-ship to the Cyclops.
Some officers expressed the opin-
ion today that the Orion's mishap
may reveal the secret of the great
est of all American naval mysteries,
the loss of the Cyclops.
The Cyclops sailed from South
America in March, 1918. with a
cargo of manganese. She had
aboard 290 persons, officers, pas
sengers and crew. Nothing more
was ever heard of her. She dis
appeared as completely as il a
magic hand had brushed her from
this world into another, leaving
not one trace of her going.
The seas were combed, ports were
searched, every clue followed i'm
tently, but never trace was found
of her, not even a spar or a
drifting life preserver
For some years, 1t was suggested
that a German submarine had sent
the collier to her doom, or that she
had struck submerged mine. In
ouiries were conducted in Germany
after the war, but no German sub
commander could be found who
could throw any light on the
mystery
Yesterday, her sisteT-ship, the
Orion, sailed out OF the Roads
with cargo of coal. Her strllc.
ture buckled in a heavy sea and
she raced back to port with her
forward tanks flooded, and almost
sinking.
The same defect some officers
believed today, may have buckled
the Cyclop's structure and sent her
to Davy Jones locker.

CROSSING THE GRADE CROSSING
By ERWIN GREER

Passing the buck" is a great A
nnerican institution.
That is why the motorist curses
the railroads for maintaining death
traps. Likewise do traffic managers
of railroads condemn the motorist for
criminal carelessness."
This ''buck passing" by motorlse
and railroad is very unfair. Both are
to blame and yet both are doing their
utmost to avoid accidents.
There are about 256.362 grade eros
sings in the United States and near
" twenty million motor cars. To eli
/, inmate these grade crossings would
cost around fifteen billion dollars
total impossibility, and yet the rail-
roads are trying to do that very thing
commencing with two classes OF
crossing-those with unusually dan
gerious locations and those situated
on heavy traffic.
The Illinois Commerce Commission
has enacted these excellent rules;
sAll crossings must be constructed
so that the road space is flush with
the tops of the rail, and sixteen in
ches outside the rails. Eighteen feet IS
to be the minimum width or the full
width of road if such is greater.
No grade is to exceed l per cent for
y the first twenty-five feet on each side
Of the outer rails, or to exceed 3 per
cent must clear all brush five hun
dred feet beyond.
Be fair, motorist-do your part
too.
It's your life that you are saving
anyhow, so by needing these few sim
pie rules you can help reduce the
death toll at the grade crossing:
Should the crossing happen to be
unprotected and the view on eth or
side obstructed, stop if you can't see
Vahead or to the sides. Don't take a
chance.
And if the Waterman doesn't hap
pen to be on the job why don't push
on the thought that no train is APP
preaching. He is fallible like your
self-something might have occur
Id to keep him away.
When travelling at night don't mis-
take the red lanterns on lowered gates
for tail lights of vehicles ahead Stop,
Look and Listen.
Don't race locomotive. Should the
road force you to pass ahead of that
train you would be-out of luck. Be
sides the engineer cannot control his
ponderous steed as you can yours with
four wheel brakes.
Never start across double tracts
behind the rear car of train. Such
