sion to change his name to Morley at the same time that he filed papers for American citizenship.
 In 1918, when everybody with a Ger man name was suspected of having se- cret dealings with the enemy, these cir cumstances were regarded as most sus- plcious. It was also brought out that Morley kept photograph of the Kaiser prominently on the wall of his cabin, and that he had been tried by court martial a few months before the Cy- clops sailed for being intoxicated in his bunk when the vessel was passing through the North Atlantic submarine infested area. True, he had been &C., quilted of the charge and again placed in command of the big collier, but there must have been some cause for sus- picion, people argued. Then there was the strange fact that he had sold his property in Norfolk, where his wife and daughter lived, just before the trip to Brazil, settling up his affairs, with the intention, he said, of retiring to the Pacific Coast.
 Bottles containing cryptic messages were continually being plucked out of the Atlantic from points as far off as Maine and Texas, all of which purported to have come from the missing ship. The authors of these messages were nearly all firm believers in the subms- rine theory, and evidently wanted to i'm press their views upon the Navy De- partment.
 COME of these efforts of the public O to amuse itself with the tragedy were especially cruel, since they aroused false hopes in the relatives of the lost crew, some of whom continued to have faith that the ship would finally be heard from. One morning, for example, a Philadelphia clergyman was astonished to find in his mail letter from a sup posed wireless operator stating that he had picked up word from the Cyclops.
 The ship, the letter said, was being brought into port by quartermaster, sn enlisted man, after the crew had mu- tinied and placed the captain in irons. Suspecting that the captain had in- tended turning over the vessel and crew to the Germans, the quartermaster had thus boldly acted and saved the collier for the cause of democracy. The letter
New Britain herald., 1926-04-09

she would bring her valuable cargo safely in within the week. But as the week went by and no word came from the Cyciops, there was reason to fear the worst. For the ship carried a splen- did wireless equipment, and the captain would certainly have notified the de- partment of any undue delay. Requests for information from anxious relatives Of the men on board came flooding in, but the navy withheld a definite state ment, refusing to believe that the ves- sel was actually lost. At last, however, on April 14-"in justice to the relatives of those on board" the Secretary said the following statement was issued
 "The U. s. S. Cyclops, navy collier of l9,OO0 tons displacement loaded with a cargo of manganese, and with a per sonnel on board of fifteen officers and 22l men of the crew, and fifty-seven passengers, is overdue at an Atlantic port since March 13. She last reported at one of the West Indian Islands on March 1, and since her departure from that port no trace of her nor any infor- matlon concerning her has been ob- talned. Radio calls to the Cyclops from all possible points have been made and vessels sent to search for her along her probable route and areas in which she might be, with no success.
 No well-founded reason can be given to explain the Cyclops being overdue, as no radio communication with or trace of her has been had since leaving the West Indian port. The weather in the area in which the vessel must have passed has not been bad and could hardly have given the Cyclops trouble. While a raider or submarine could be respon- slble for her loss, there have been no reports that would indicate the presence of either in the locality in which the Cyclops was.
 "Ihe search for the Cyclops continues, but the Navy Department feels ex- tremely anxious as to her safety"
 IMMEDIATELY, in spite of the navy's lack of reports, the rumor spread that the Cyciops had been sunk by a u-boat-a circumstance that would clearly indicate a German submarine base on this side of the Atlantic. Some were even of the opinion that she had not been sunk, but that the Germans

 Headed for the Barbadoes as her first port of call, the Cyclops started slowly on her way. She was never speedy boat. and this time she was handicapped by heavier cargo than usual and bv the disablement of one of her engines Later, there were seamen in Rio who claimed that they had watched her off with the greatest misgivings, that they had seen her decks sag, and feared she would never make port with the heavy cargo she was carrying. But at the ume' no hint of warning was raised when the vessel reached Barbadoes she was still in good condition, except for the one engine. After filling her bunk CTS with coal, she departed from the island on March 4, and that was the last that was ever heard from her.
 WHEN she failed to appear at the port W of Baltimore when she was due on March 13, the Navy Department was not alarmed. Reviewing her past record of brilliant service, naval officers felt surs

had captured her--in some overwhelm- ing manner that would prevent her using her wireless--and had lowed her across the Atlantic to a German port, where the officers, crew and passengers were all being kept prisoners.
 m support of this novel theory, it was pointed out that Commander George W, Worley' who was in command of the oyclops and had been ever since the day
