MINGS
THEIR VISIT
, Prince Undine and Marconi Ill
State Department Makes
Statement
- J (By Associated Press.)
Washington, June 4. The trip of the
Italian war mission through the South
and Middle West, which was to have
begun today, has been postponed, ow
ing to the illness of Prince Udine, and
Signer William Marconi.
The Prince was taken with a slight
fever today after all arrangements for
the special train and for receptions in
various cities had been completed. It
was not felt possible for him to leave
here at 1 o'clock as planned and the
trip was therefore postponed until the
nature of his illness became known It
is believed to be not serious.
The mission has had a very busy
time since its arrival here, with formal
dinners and receptions every evening
and important conferences and ad
dresses during the day time. The ex
treme efforts by the Prince during his
visit are known to have tired him
much.
Mr. Marconi has been ill for the
last week with a rather chronic sick
ness and had planned to avoid the long
journey through the South with the
hope of being able to join the mission
at Chicago or New York.
The State Department issued the fol
lowing statement:
"Owing to the sudden and severe
illness of the Prince of Udine the pro
posed trip of the royal Italian commis
sion to the South has been temporarily
canceled. His royal highness became
indisposed yesterday, and this morn
ing had a temperature of 104. The
Department of State will make further
announcement concerning the tour as!
soon as the condition of his royal high
ness permits."

armory of the W. L. I. promptly at

The Police Working On A
New, But Shadowy,
Clue
iriv AaanoiatfA PresB.1
Springfield, Mo., June 4. Four days'
ahooTipo fmm his home, from which
he so mysteriously disappeared last
Wednesday nighjt, has not shaken the
faith of the mother that Lloyd Keet,
14-months-old son of J. tl. Keet,
wealthy banker of this city, will be
returned safely.
Police today were working on an
other clue, furnished by a neighbor,
Mrs. S. E. Palmer, who lives directly
opposite the Keet residence.
Mrs. Palmer stated that on the
night the baby disappeared she saw
three men lurking in the shadows sur
rounding the Keet home shortly after
the departure of the parents for the
dance at a country club.
Mrs. Palmer's young daughter,
Gladys, substantiated this statement,
but sMd the night was so dark that
the forms she saw were mere
shadows. -

Boston, June 4. Germany has been
supplied with American cotton through

an investigating committee of the-Na-j
tional Association of Cotton Manufac-j
iurers, wuicu was maae puDiic last
night. The report advocates govern
ment control of shipments of cotton
and its products from thip country,
adding that "could such a' step have
been taken three years ago it would
have materially lessened the length
of the war.
"No shipments of raw cotton are
being made to Denmark," the report
says, "but during the eight months
ended" in February of the present year,
there were shipped to the Netherlands,
Norway, Sweden and Italy 349,736,349
pounds of raw cotton. The greater part
of these shipments went to the port of
Genoa in Italy. The latter country
nas never iormaiiy declared war
against Germany and there are good
reasons for the belief that, through Its
traders, large amounts of cotton have
found their way to the central powers.

Naples, for the 31 weeks ended March
