ciaily for the last few months. during the

II is stated In officIal circles that-the
recent release Of sipido. the assaiIant OF
the Prince OF Wales. as he was passing
through Belgium, has been followed by an
enormous increase In the circulation Of
anarchist literature advocating regicide.
II Is thought exceedingly likely that the
assassination OF King Humbert IL direct

Diplomats and ofllcials generally visited
the Italian embassy In great numbers to-
day. Among the early callers was the
Prince Of Wales, who expressed keen re-
gret at the loss Of personal friend.
Some Of the evening papers here attempt
to trace n connection between the assassi-
nation OF King Humbert and the rancar-
Gus propaganda that the vatican is al
legged to have conducted against the SUI
prrmacy OF the sovereign. These journals
point out that the assassina ton occurred
In the vicinity OF Milan, where, II issal-

'sAs long AZ the vatican persists In its
