KING GEORGES YOUNGEST
SON DIES SUDDENLY

London, Jan. 20,-The death OF
Prince John, youngest son OF King
George, came so quickly and uneX-
pectedly Saturday night that there
was no time for the nurses who were
with him to summon the king and
Queen Mary to his bedside before
he expired.
In recent years the delicate heath
OF Prince John made it necessary
that he always have an attendant.
Consequently he never was seen
on public occasions with the other
member, OF the royal family but
lived in comparative privacy at
Frogmore House, Windsor, or at
Sandringham Palace

JAPS MAY RUSH ARMY TO GUARD
 SIBERIAN LINE Say They Must Have More Men to Oppose Reds or
 Get Out of Territory. MEANS CONTROL BY
 THE ISLAND EMPIRE Call Attention to Danger ot Bolshevism on Border of
 Her Possessions -

Washington, Dec. 23.-Bolshevist at tacks on points held by Japanese troops along the Siberian railway, which during the month of September and October totalled 436 distinct raids, are becoming so much more frequent that the position of Japanese has be come so precarious as to require i'm mediate reinforcement or withdrawal. American troops still in Siberia are further to the east and consequently have suffered much less than the Jap anese soldiers from the raids.
 kRAassador Shidehara has been in consultation with Secretary Lansing Eegarding measures to be taken to meet the rapidly increasing danger. It has been said here that, in view of the sentiment in the country, the American forces in Siberia cannot be strengthened, yet officials still deemed it wise to maintain at least some show of military force in Si- beria unless the United States govern ment IS willing to permit Japan to carry on unaided the buraen of resist ing the eastward progress Of the wave of Bolshevism, which might be con strued as an admission of executive Japanese control of Siberia.
 It has been explained to the United States government that a withdrawal of the Japanese troops would be fol- lowed by the massacre of all of the Russian inhabitants who have given supports to the Japanese and Ameri- cans and the seizure by the Bolsheviki of the entire line of the Siberian rail way. For the Japanese the situation then would be made acute, it is said, because of the advent of Bolshevism to the borders of Korea and across the narrow straits separating Japan from the mainland of Asia.
