Washington. June 4. Did the Ger nian wbmarine which raided Amerl can shipping off the Jersey coast de ; stroy the missing collier Cyclops, or did they capture her at sea, put aboard a pme crew and send her to -Ger . many? . Out of the mysterious disappear ance of the American collier, now missinir three months exactly to day, this question has been raised by the passing remark of one of the sub marine commanders to Captain Lowry of the steamer Texel, that the U-boat had been on the American side of the : Atlantic for two months. It is oossible. though not probable natal experts say, that the collier with her great , cargo of manganese and some 300 souls might have been "spurious verzenkt" sunk without a trace after she left Barbados, where she had put in for fueL :- It is more likely, however, they say, that the Cyclops, sailing homeward some time after March 4, when it cleared from Barbados, was met at night by submarines, possibly by pre arrangement. It would then have been easy to send an armed crew below to .quarter where most of its men were asleep and take possession of the ship. ;" ' The statement of the U-boat com mander that be has been in American water two months adds to the theory of those who have maintained that there is a submarine base on this side D2ATH COMES TO FAIRBANKS AFTER SHORT ILLNESS (Cantlnned From Paga Om.) other candidate except the nominee of the convention, .... .
