at Sandringha1n.

London. Jan. 2o.-Prince John. the
youngest son Of King George, died at
Sandringham Saturday night. He had
been i'll for some time. b
The death of the prince came 80
quickly and Unexpectedly Saturday
night there was no time for the nurses
to summon the king and Queen Mary
to his bedside before he expired.
The delicate health ,spf Prince John
made 1t necessary that he always have
an attendant. Consequently, he was
never seen on public occasions with
the other members Of the royal fam
ily.
. The prince was possessed Of ex-
uberant spirits. He was the prime
favorite Of all classes and the idol Of
the servants and tenants at Windsor.
It is said that. he was the favorite
brother Of Princess Mary, who loved
to romp with him. Tho prince was
born at, sandringham July 12. 1905.

With definite plan formed for
erecting a structure upon which all
nations can agree, there are about IS
working days remaining of the time
that President Wilson has allotted to
himself for work in France befora
leaving for home. The question being
asked is whether he can in this com
paratively short time bring the nations
together in agreement for a society OF
nations.
Many of the presidents closest ad-
visers are reasonably convinced he
can do so. They base their opinion
on what appears to be spontaneous
developments on expressions indicat-
ing adherence to the league plan by
Great Britain. France and Italy and
on the assumption that, being virtual
ly agreed upon in principle and in
deed as to some details, the remainder
perplexities. does not offer hopeless
obstacles if approached in spirit of
accommodate and even sacrifice,
which virtually all leaders have de-
clared in their public addresses as be-
ing quite necessary to a satisfactory
result.
President Has Own Ideas.
With discussions now past the point
where it seems to be agreed there
| common police force and that the
question of whether a nation shall
contribute force in carrying out the
decisions of theleague will be left to
each nation individually in each in
stance, the general plan being most
talked about, embodtes an enlarge
/ meut OF the principles contained In
the treaties negotiated by William J.
| Bryan. -
These provide for delay Of year
before declaring war and Investigation
| by a special commission of all dis
[ putes and that no declaration Of war
| shall be made thereafter without CIV
/ ing special notice. Such a plan, cur
rent discussion in Paris brings out, is
intended by those who favor it, vir-
tually to establish a concert Of power
among the principal nations for
preservation Of world peace. This
would be extended to what would be
virtually a guardianship Of the smaller
nations, applying to them the prin-
| ciples which govern participation in
the league by their greater sisters.
| BY this plan it is apparently pro-
posed to internationalize the guardian
ship of smaller nations with the idea
that there shall be no domination
or financially.
It is proper to state at this juncture
that President Wilson himself has a
reasonably complete plan for the for
nation Of the league Of nations. It
may also be stated that he highly re-
CARDS many features Of the plan pre-
sented by General Smuts and is work
ing in close harmony with NJ. Bour-
geois and Lord Robert Cecil.
Aside from the attention paid to
the Russian situation, the society Of
nations question is now in an ad-
vantageous position and steady de-
! velopment may be expected.

Handbills Deluge Streets.

Handbills Deluge Streets.
Berlin, Sunday. Jan. 1S.-The
streets of Berlin today were virtually
buried under a deluge of election
dodgers, handbills and leaflets. while
the fronts of houses and available
windows were plastered with huge
posters hung up by campaign workers
during the morning.
The spectacle was one wholly ne"
to Berlin The bill board privileges
are usually strictly confined to col
umns on the street corners, while the
distribution Of handbills Is ordinarily
severely restricted by police regula-
tions.
Today, however, the house and shop
fronts on Unter den Linden from the
Pariserplatz to the opera house were
one continuous bill board appeal to
the voters. The much advertised pa
per shortage hardly appeared an ac-
tuality in the light Of the mass OF
campaign literature with which Ber-
lin has literally been choked for the
--lAst few days. The majority Socialists
alone are reported to have distributed
3O,OO0,OOO dodEers in addition to wall
papering the city myriads of posters. =
Booth Protected.
The entire apparatus of the govern
,nent was set in motion for the ma
iority Socialist campaign which was
easily the most effective of any car
ried on for today's historic election OF
members of the national assembly.
IN addition to having the strategic
advantage of government control, the
scheidemann party was more adept at
campaigning than the Bourgeois rae
tions to whom the game under pres
ent conditions was somewhat new:
The Independent Socialists confined
their attempts at vote-getting to pup
lie meetings and were not represented
in the spread of the vast quantities
of printers ink. The German Demo
cratic party, however, was Literally
represented among the handbills and
posters,i and in addition it carried on
an active house to house canvass. the
Conservatives, Clericals and national
Liberals proved themselves compara-
tive tyros in campaigning methods
relying chiefly on the party newspa-
per organs.
It is estimated that no less than
seven divisions Of troops were placed
Mt the disposal Of the government. .for
the purpose Of protecting the polling
places. A machine gun squad was IN
position within a hundred feet Of each
voting place. while strong military po'
lice patrols also were on guard. Ine
voters everywhere turned out early
and the rush to the polls resulted IN
the formation of long Lines and Of
men and women awaiting their turr
to vote.
