'Honor lo whom honor is din;" eYideilll) bas boon adoptOd by the; anny recruiting party of this dis trict as their slogan, for. according to Information coming from the headquarters station in Savannah, every effort ls being put forth to give each man who volunteers for service the widest publicity that each may luive credit for his patriotic action. Derides the plan of furnishing each volunteer's home newspaper with a news Item relative to his enlistment, each city and town in the district, which comprises the Stale of South Carolina and Southeast Georgia, is to be given an honor roll, bearing the list of volunteers for all branches Of Hie military and nav al son ice. which will be posted in a conspicu ous pince in tile lobby of the post nineo iu tho respective towns and (Hies.

It is urged that all who arc eligible for enlistment rall on or write to the nearest army recruiting station or postmaster at once, with a view of doing their share in the winning ol' this war, upon which the futuro of evory American depends.

In one statement she ls alleged to have said that the Cyclops ls safe in a South American port, and that an official announce ment would soon be forthcoming. Mrs. Worley ls known to have visited the homos of families who have members and relatives on the ship and told them not to be worried any longer, that the mystery would bo cloared up last night. Last night she vtsltod a newspaper ofllco to plead with an Interviewer not to print a story she had given as to why her husband had changed his name or that ho was born In Ger many, declaring: "I will give a big ger story to-morrow of tho safety of the Cyclops." A former naval collier command er, her escort and friend of the fam ily, declared the Navy Department would probably soon be In a position to notify relatives of the men on tho collier of their safety, but declined to divulge Mrs. Worloy's secret. When pressed for additional Infor mation, Mrs. Worloy added: "You know thoro are other ships at sea." "Have you any reason to believe the Cyclops is safe other than your hopes and belief?" she was asked. "Yes," was her reply. Only Based 0,1 Rumor. Norfolk, Va., April IS.-Mrs. Sel ma \V.

Denying that .sho has receive! word from any source as to the fat? of the missing American naval col lier Cyclops, Mrs. Selina W. Worloy wife of the commander of the over due ship, declared to-day that she i thoroughly convinced that the Cy clops is safe and will be heard fron within a few days. Mrs. Worley characterized as ri diculous and absurd the theory tba Capt. Worley, who ls a native-bori German, had sailed the Cyclops ol her course and turned her over to i German raider. She says she is con fldont that the ship ls adrift at se; with her engines disabled or she i short of coal. A letter received fron her husband shortly before sailin, said his starboard engine was out o commission, and she believes th port engine has broken down nude the increased strain imposed upon il Although born in Germany, Capt Worley yielded to no one In his loy ally to the United States, his wit declared.

Correspondent Notes Swaying of Rat tle Fortunes With Confidence. j Ottawa, April 18-"The enemy ap : parently is drawing on fresh re serves," says a dispatch received here to-night from Router's corres pondent at British headquarters In France. "In the course of the great hattie more than 30 enemy divisions have so far appeared, and it is cer tain the German command is ex ploiting every success by the most prodigal expenditure of man power and not counting the cost. ! "In the great German attack of yesterday our troops fought with J Homeric valor against tremendous j i numerical odds. They are fighting in the same irresistible manner in ( the battle between Givenchy Forest J and Nioppe. "For nearly a week the German gains in the battle of Flanders have j I been limited to tho smallest extent. ' j lt has been a terribly costly advance ! \ at certain points. j "The attempt to break through tho ! ' Belgian front south of the Houtholst ? Forest probably was inspired hy the ; ( discovery of our withdrawal from ' j tho" Passachendaelo region. "Tho attack has been repeated to- ' day, tho enemy doubtless being mor- { titled at being defeated by about half i his own number. "Apparently tho tanks, armored cars and cavalry have not been in action on either side. We now nre down to a sheor contest for man power, a swaying, ceaseless attack and repulse with the vital issues car ried In the anxious problem of whe ther our powers of endurance can wear down tho repeated bull rushes of vastly superior numbers boforo a decision is reached. "At the moment tflo prospoct as suredly justifies confidence in this respect. Tho appearance of French battalions and batteries of 7.Vs in the ranks of the ramy which tho Ger mans are counting on cutting off from tho allies cannu ,o pleasing to the enemy."
