German ConSpiratorS
SOUGHT in keet Case

KANSAS CITY, Mo, June 12.-GQv
eminent agents, investigating the Keet
kidnapping case, are hot on the trail OF
German conspirators today. Important
evidence has been gained from the pris-
oners held in connection with the
Springfield, Mo-, abduction and one
arrest has been made here, federal Of
ficials admit
Aside from stating that the arrested
man is an officer in the German army
they will give no details. The man.
department officials are seeking now is
Dick Carter, who is charged in a war
rant at Springfield with the murder of
Little Lloyd Keet. From Carter they
expect to get evidence which will lead
to the arrest Of the men higher up
These men are believed to be in the en-
ploy of the German government and
their connection with the Keet kidnap-
ing was only a sideline. The hunt for
the Keet abductors has been transferred
from Springfield to Kansas City. Judge
Arch Johnson of the Green county Grim
inal court is here directing il. Other
activities planned by the suspects are
said to have included kidnapping of a
St Louis munitions manufacturer.

secret by federal authorities because OF
their latent possibilities. are said to
have been made last night and today.
Miss Eileen Piersol, sister Of Claude
Piersol who narrowly escaped death at
the hands of the vigilantes, is being
hunted.

MEN HIGHER UP ARE
SOUGHT IN KEET CASE
Officers Are RetiCent About
New CIueS-Mother in
Serious Condition

SPRINGFIELD. No, June 1.-THE
men higher up" in the Keet kidnapping
mystery. mentioned in the confessions
of Claude Piersol and Taylor Adams,
were still being sought by the authori-
ties today. Several new clues were said
to have been developed but the officers
were reticent regarding their nature.
Two federal agents also were investi-
eating the German plot" angle of the
kidnapping which resulted in the tragic
death of fOurteen-months-old Lloyd
Keet. 1t has been suggested that the
ransom demanded was to be devoted to
furthering German plots in this country.
The federal authorities, however, re-
fuse to say whether anything has been
discovered to support this theory.
Mrs. Keet, who has been under con-
slant care of a physician since her col
lapse at the funeral yesterday. was still
in a serious condition today.
None of the alleged abductors are in
the local jail. Piersol and Claud Adams
are in the Jackson county Jail at Kan
sas City. Taylor Adams, his wife and
son and Sam McGinnis have been hid
den away by Sheriff Webb.

GreCian Republic Headed
RN NnniZelOS Is Probable

WASHINGTON, June 13.-Abdication
of King Constantine of Greece was re-
garded here today as the probable fore
runner of a Grecian republic headed by
Venizelos, Constantine's bitterest foe.
This second step, however, will not be
immediate. Instead this government,
following the lead of her allies, will
recognize the new regime under Con-
stantine's second son, Alexander.
For the moment, the abdication means
that the allies are going to have fuller
cooperation from Greece-the thing
they were unable to wiring from the OBJ
durate and pro German Constantine.
And the first evidence of this will
come from allied control of the rich
harvests of Thessaly. These harvests
are badly needed and will solve in large
measure theNproblem of victualling the
British forces in Macedonia.
In addition. the allied control will be
such as to thwart any junction between
Greek troops and the Teutonic forces
The idea Of a Grecian republic has
been fomented for some time and the
state department has had a request be-
fore il to recognize a Venizelist govern
ment. This has never received action,
however, as this government wanted to
act in full accord with the allies. even
though its own inclinations would be to
recognize a republic in Greece.
The allies have been able to make this
coup largely because of removal of i'm
perial pressure from Russia. When the
car was in power, the British and
French found themselves blocked in
their Greek dealings often because of
his influence and friendship for Greece.
Whether il will be possible actually
to use Greek troops to aid the allies is
problematical, inasmuch as most of the
army has been loyal to Constantine.
In any event, the Greek situation is
such now that the army cannot harass
thrown northeastward to cut the Berlin
TO Bagdad pathway
Some here believed today that the
clearing of the Grecian situation" will
be followed shortly by military activity
in that war theater. 1t has frequently
been stated privately by military men
here that cutting of the Bagdad to Ber-
lin rail highway by the allies would
mean long step toward ending the war
Such a move, successfully made
would isolate the tottering Turks, cut
Germany and Austria off from the food
supplies Turkey is sending at the ex-
pense of her Mohammedan population
and likewise shut off the supplies of am
munition and other war munitions from
Teuton factories to Turk battle lines in
Mesopotamia and other southeastern
sections where British and Russian
troops some weeks back were pounding
the Mohammedans up toward Constan-
tinople.

SHORTAGE OF SHIPS
IS BIGGEST SINGLE
PROBLEM Of WAR
Lack of Transports for Men
and Food May Cripple Dis
patching of Large Bodies
of Troops

WASHINGTON. June 12.-Shortage
OF ships for military transport service
constitutes the biggest single problem
before Aemrica's war chiefs today
That the dispatch of the bulk of the
new army may rave 10 he delayed by
reason of this lack of transports is
admitted by men in charge. Frue
there are sufficient ships to carry vast
numbers of soldiers. but this is only
small part of the problem. tnasmuch
as these men mist be constantly sup
piled with food, clothing, artillery and
other equipment.
This in itself is a tremendous task.
The army will require it's own weight
in food every thirty-nine days, while
all artillery must be replaced about
every thirty days. Other supplies must
be kept going in a constant stream.
In addition to these needs, there Is
vital commerce of supply to the al
lies which must be maintained at all
hazards.
Hence with these two needs-com-
nercial and military-government heads
are sorely perRlexed about meeting
the problem.
Next year will see a new fotilla OF
cargo carriers, but the big needs VIII
come in the next few months.
Despite the dark background to the
situation, authorities are not wholly
dismayed. The shipping board is doing
it's utmost, and hopes to increase It's
output even above estimates.
Lord Northcliffe, coming here as an
unofficial representative of Great Brit
ain. is counted on to make some vital
suggestions in the line of obtaining
enough shipping for all needs. tie Is
opposed to any attempt at sendlng
abroad so large an army that II can
not be victualled and otherwise sup
piled.
AS army plans now stand, they con-
template dispatch Of units abroad more
or less constantly and in comparatively
small numbers.
Soldiers already partly trained will
get the finishing touches in France The
fact of sending these skilled men ahead
will necessarily delay somewhat the
dispatch of the new ARMY, for absence
of training forces will delay the mould
ing Of the new army.
The war department INDUCES in no
figures or dates, inasmuch as such In
formation is of value to the enemy, put
in general it can be said that the IDEA
of sending no troops across for year
has been modified, and that the PERISH
ing expedition will be augmented Dy
other forces before the expiration of a
year.
By the end of a year, the transport
situation will be clarified it Is felt,
whether or not the submarine menace
has been solved. Navy men, working
on anti-submarine devices, however, be-
lieve they will get the answer" to the
submarine ere long. and that this will
simplify shipping problems entirely.
