NEW YORK, April 15-Stocks hit
a fast early clip on the recovery
track in today's market. but profit
taking barriers eventually stemmed
the sprint and extreme gains rum
ming to z or more points generally
were reduced in the final hour.
Rails and utilities led the fore
noon jaunt. appearing in blocks OF
1000 to 5000 shares. Bidding sub
sequently switched to industrial
specialties including liquors, amuse-
ments and oils. Transport issues
lost some momentum when South
ern Pacific directors failed to act
on an expected dividend, but the
majority did better near the close.
Dealings dwindled after midday,
although transfers for the full pro-
ceedings were around 1,500, 900
shares.
Bolstering sentiment was good
European war news. Commitments
were lightened here and there, how
ever, because of cloudier Far Pa

Mr.. Brown winked Il got a friend sailor see?
He's clever one, that American. Says there isn't
anyone who could put anything over on him. I'd
like TO prove him wrong. Just for joke, you
understand"
What va going to put over on him."
Il just want him out of the way for night It
wouldn't hurt him. Just play him along so that he

"Ill pay for the evening, of course" he said
"And give you 500 milreis for your trouble"
That's not much, twenty dollars" she whined,
but she grudgingly agreed to accept it.
Then Mr.. Brown slipped away and presently
came back, followed by a sailor, rather the worse
for drink
This is Miss Dolly"
The sailor slumped into a chair

"Shore am" said Charlie and he scooped up

The slgnatOrles OF the notiCe-al men Of high
social and business standing-denied all knowledge
|of the affair. The rector of the church knew
nothing of the Mass: it had not been ordered. He
had never heard of Mr. Gottschalk
Was the Requiem Mass notice an artful way

Headers that plot against the Cyclops had been
Successful?
The Navy waited.
After the war, in accordance with the Versailles
Treaty, the Republican Government of Germany
made public secret records Of her armed forces.
THE L. S. Navy searched them eagerly. But there
WAS no mention Of the Cycops
A former sergeant of Marines brought forward
Ia few pages Of diary which he said formerly be-
|longed TO an American whom he had known in
Texas
The diary stated that the man had been one of
four secret agents of a foreign power who had
become members of the Cyclops crew They had
planted a huge charge of dynamite aboard and the
|Cyclops had been shattered by the explosion
They had prepared ingenious bombs designed to
Hook like Jumps of ccal. They were made in two COM
partments; one containing acid, the other power
ful reagent, the compartments divided by a thin
copper plate. The acid would eat through the plate
lin matter of days and the bombs would explode
with terrific force. .U |N.I
The man did not state how they got all that ex-
e aboard 1t must have been fabulous
amount TO destroy 19000-ton ship without
trace.
They lowered boat the night before the ex-
ploson due; waited until the Cyclops sank then
rowed about the ocean carefully picking UP and
every scrap of evidence.
To lower a boat from a speeding ship is we'll
nigh impossible. They did not say how they followed
that enormus vessel for hours in a rowboat, and

there was nothing to show how long it took them
to find every scrap of evidence of their crime
There were many more hoaXes.
No fewer than five bottles, supposed to contain
the last messages of Cyclops crew members, were
handed over to the authorities. But they had
deporablc lack of knowledge of the ships position
so were dismissed as the work of fevered magma
tons.
Some papers offered theories of fabulous many
tentacled monsters that surged up from the ocean
depths and dragged the Cyclops to her doom.
Others discussed submarine earthquakes and
volcanoes. But no scientific apparatus reported
any such cataclysms.
And the Germans denied all knowledge of the
disaster.
Knowing them as do now, is il not possible
TO believe they were lying?
Rio de Janeiro like most glittering haunts of
wealth and gaiety, was a hotbed of spies of all
nations.
We have read much of the beautiful, dangerous
women who worked as spies in wartime.
But for every one we read about there were
hundreds we never heard of; petty, pretty little
drabs working for shabby, furtive underlngs Of
the spy rings.
They frequented the gaudy bars and honky-
tonks along the Rio port district Just part-tme
spies, they were, employed as occasion demanded
for decOy work or blackmail; pawns TO be used and
discarded or betrayed TO the police whenever dam
ger threatened
Such one was Miss Dolly a thin-faced little
blonde, pretty in a hard way, who posed an Eng
lish girl and frequented a small casino in the Rio
port district Habitucs of the Rio waterfront re-
member her TO this day and there are those who
say that she could cast some light upon the mys-
terry of the Cyclops-if she were still alive.

Within a few days they found that
the river was too shallow for further
navigation and had to abandon the
boats and carry their machines and
materials up into the mountains. This
evacuation took 20 days under con-
tinual harassment by enemy planes
which took the lives of several of the
cooperative members. Several others
died of exhaustion under the terrific
strain of carrying the huge loads up
the mountains.
Some of the co-operatives were
forced to remain behind since their
equipment was too heavy to move up
the step paths. These changed their
firm name to that of a private firm,
but continued to operate secretly as
co-operatives.
In the mountains the co-operatives
were forced to change their locale
