The navy collier Cyclops, missing
since January 4, 1918, and which had on
board thirteen Pcnnsylvanlans, Including
six men from Philadelphia, Is now" offi
cially reported by the government as
having been "lost in a gale."
Prior to the signing of tho. armistice,
navy officials entertained various opin
ions of what might have happened to
the vessel. It was believed to have
been sunk by a U-boat raider operating
in West Indian waters, or captured and
taken to a German port. Since then.
Inquiries havo lxyn made in Germany,
but. no record of tho Cyclops has been
obtained.
The collier was a craft of 19,360 tons,
and carr.ed'a crew of 211 men. She also
had fifty-seven passengers including two
naval officers and one civilian, Atfred
Ij. Moreau Oottschalk, United States
Consul a Rio do Janeiro. The Cyclops
waB launched May 7, 1910, at Cramps'
shipyard.

Cyclops were:

3517 Comly street; Percy Leon Carpen
ter, chief water tender, 2128 Newklrk

Belgrade street: Samuel Goldstein, sea
man, 641 Jackson street; Louis Mlnch,
fireman, 19-15 Kast Oakdalo street:
James Arthur Shooter, seaman, 43i

At the time of the vessel's disappear
ance the Navy Department confessed lis
Inability to explain the mystery. The
Cyclops was last reporteu irom one or
the West Indian Islands on March 4,
1918.

1 D'strlct Attorney's office claims Flnley
was the "man In the gray suit" But
a weak spot In the Commonwealth's case
l.t tho failure of a bank clerk to Identify
Flnley as the man who secured the bill,
which Is now In tho District Attorney's
safe. ,
In a statement Issued several days
ngo Senator Vore said Flnley was eager
for trial. In reply Mr. Rotan declared;
"Mr. Flnley will bo tried In duo time.
I have no wish to talk nbout Fifth
Ward cases, but the District Attorney's
ofllce has no apology to make for not
having put Flnley on trial before now.
Flnley Is regarded as an accessory after
the murder of Policeman Eppley and It
would havo been putting tho cart before
tho horso to have tried him before
IVutKch and his codefendants and tho

Is your business
ready?
i '
These are busy days.
Business is in a state of flux. Conditions are changing.
America is reconstructing her industrial fabric.
One thing is certain. The greatest era of prosperity the
country has ever known is in the making. The greatest
rewards will come to men who put their business house in
order now. An important part of any business is its
filing system.
You know whether or not yours is adequate. You know,
perhaps fron experience, whether it fails to deliver in
emergencies.
There is no truth in the old thought that a filing system
must slip up occasionally. Filing can be made an exact
science. Mistakes can be eliminated. 100 accuracy is
possible.
Forty-three years experience means something. It means
the difference between knowing-how and guessing. It
means efficiency!
All that the past has taught is at your service in the
present period of reconstruction. Your telephone will put
you in touch with the world's largest manufacturer of card
record and filing systems the originator of the card index
and vertical filing.
