ITALIAN MISSION HOME
Party Headed by Prince Cdine Left America Secretly on June 3O-AIar- conf Remains Here.

Washington, July 11.-The first an- nouncement that the Italian war mis- sion had left the United States was made tonight by the Italian Embassy upon receipt of word that the party had arrived safely at a French port after leaving this country secretly OH June 30.
 News of their movements had been guarded carefully by Government of ficials and the newspapers to insure the partys protection against enemy boats on the way across the Atlantic. Similar precautions taken for the British and French missions were successful in concealing there where abouts from the public until they were safely laded in home ports.
 Hundreds of letters and telegrams addressed to the mission, members, especially to Prince Udine, have pour ed into the Italian Embassy here dur ing the last ten days from individuals and organizations which thought the Italians were making private trips through the United States, as had been announced just before their de- parture. Military guards were main- tained about the residence occupied by the Italians here for some time after the mission was on it's way back to Europe.
 Signor Marconi is the only member of the mission remaining in this country. He expects to spend several weeks in New York.

Equipments including motors, also added to their advantage with shipping, metals. oils and tobaccos. Bonds were steady with further sales of the Liberty issues at 99 49.1OO.
 Unusual activity was manifested during the intermediate session at appreciably higher levels. Steels, shippings and secondary equipments and utilities were the outstanding fea- lures at gains of 1 to 3 points. Sinclair Oil was the only marked exception, declining , b points.

MOraht Consider Offensive InadviSable
