STOCKHOLM, June 4.-Hint that
Hungarian radicals are planning a
democratic revolution" was given
today by the Hungarian socialist
delegate, DR.. Hunf1, in an interview
to the United Press.
"A democratic revolution In the
mid European countries" he said.
"is not only an interior question, but
1t is one Of the greatest Importance
in general to European politics and
vital step toward peace and In.
ternational solidarity"
Discussing the group deliberations
of socialists already here DR.. Hunt
said:
II have the strongest expectation
that the conference later will sue.
ceed in uniting socialist groups on q
common peace program. Then all
socialists can work for adoption OF
that program by belligerents.
I'VE have purposely ignored dis
puted questions between belligerents
In the discussions to date, because II
is not profitable to catalogue the
wrangles OF war. In addition It hal
been apparent from the first that tn,
disputes Of any two belligerenti
would differ from those OF any othel
two. All such questions as these
should be considered by an interna
tional conference. where the preju
dices Of any one nation cannot affec1

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, June 4.-The
kidnappers of little Lloyd Keet, the
fourteen months old son OF j. Hol-
land Keet, retired millionaire bank
er, will be in custody before the day
is over, according to information
from police authorities. According
to the police, the kidnappers have
been located about thirty miles from
Springfield in the Ozark foothills and
are being watched closely.
The abduction case took a sensa-
tional turn today when Judge Arch A.
johnson, Of the criminal court, an
nounced that unless Keet voluntar-
lily divulged to authorities all the
facts relative to the abduction and
subsequent dealings with the ktdnap-
pers, which the banker has kept
secret thus far, he would be taken
before the grand jury.
The inactivity of the police and
detectives in the case, who have been
held in leash because of the reticence
Of the Keet family, has caused much
speculation.
gKeet gives as his reason for re
fusing to aid authorities that he
wants ito play square" with the alb
ductors and that he fears his child
will be mutilated or killed If the
police press the kidnappers too close
ly.
"Unless the information divulged
by Keet to authorities or the grand
jury shows conclusive reasons that
running to earth any clews he has
would result in harm to the baby, ne
will be forced to tell all he knows" !"
one official said.
Judge johnson who has been active
in the search, limited that there were
reasons to believe the baby had been
recovered and that his family, living
up to demands of the. abductors, are
keeping the matter secret for a
specified length Of time.
The judge will ask Keet how long
he expects to hold the officials of
the case. 1t Is now known positively
that second letter was received by
Keet Friday.

in the sector south Of Lens following
two weeks lull, gave indication today
that Field Marshal Haig was about to
resume his offensive. The British
struck a powerful blow along the

delivered a series of furious counter
attacks against ground newly won by
the French around Vauclerc and

officials will obey the law when once
understanding what their duties are.
He says the county clerk and sheriff,

not under the authority of the county
court and they should proceed with the
election regardless of any orders that
may be issued by the county court.
He points out that if Curry county
