London he said he was confident he would
be able TO close the deal for the Devon
shire site for a mammoth hotel. lie said
that the deal was about to be consumated,

the completion of the legal phases Of the

He added that he expected everything
would be settled by the time he returned
to London next Spring.
Mr.. Bowman said that his London hotel.
which he will call the Bltmore, will not

style OF low buildings, but that tho site
was large enough TO enable him to build a

could erect the building within eighteen
months after the final papers were signed.
He has two other tentative sites, IL the

bassador TO the United States from Great
Britain. left for homo yesterday on board
the Adriatic. OF the White Star line. with
out having been presented TO the highest
officialof tho country 10 which he came
accredited. This unusual situation was
brought about by tho illness or President
Wilson, which made It inexpedent for the
Presidents strength TO DO taxed by the
formal ceremony or presentation.
The distinguished British statesman
made II plain that he hoped anu expected
to return to the United States at a later
date. Through his secretary, friend ana
personal adviser, sir William tyrreii' ne
made a statement which said
II have no public statement to about
public affairs, but would like to say that

The yicount declined TO be interviewed,
and, contrary to his attitude upon his
arrival in this country on september -,
had nothing to add to the brief state
ment.
Not n Farewell to America.
Sir William explained that an interview
at greater length might be constituted as
u permanent leave taking, an inference
the Ambassador did not desire to bring
about.
Sir William said that as President Will
son had been taken ill it was impossible
for Viscount Grey to present his creden-
tials or his special anbassadorial docu-
ments. AS the Viscount was specially
designated to discuss questions that might
arise hero concerning the peace treaty
the fact that the treaty had not bocn
passed by Congress had left that part of
his mission unfulfilled. Because of this
peculiar situation, Sir William said, Lord
Grey was returning home on a leave OF
absence in practically the same position
in which he arrived

Tho French press is deeply stirred over
reports that tho United States and Japan
have reached an accord on which to base
joint action i'm Siberia The Matin declares
that "the sole beneficiary of the war would
seem TO be Japan" and that "the whole
problem of the Western Pacific is at stake,
with its markets and its 500, 900 900 souls"
1t asserts that Japan has from now on
her Canada, for such Siberia can be con-
lsidered''
"Siberia's tremendous resources, agricul-
turally, minerally and in grazing lands. are
far greater than is usually imagined" 1t
says The region of Alta Yin Ula alone
is not only Manitoba, but also Is grea
farming district, while IT'S mountains equal
the Urals In mineral wealth.
The universal fear OF Bolshevism has
given supremacy to Japan which neither
hor diplomacy. the Ruso-Japanese war nor
her negotiations with the Entente could
gain for her
Japan wishes to be alone in Siberia, and
has obtained her desire. for she holds one
side of the Pacific while the United States
holds tho other. HeQceforth she is des-
tined not only to play al eminent role in
European politics. for Siberia is strategic
territory TO Eastern Europe. but besides
the natural resources she will control, she

through the Baikal region.
Eastern Siberia borders on tho enor-
nous territory of Mongolia, which is
practically unknown. Although it has
great sterile stretches, nevertheless Il Is
q great granary OF the future. Also It is
a great source of the worlds meat supply.
For the present Japan controls Eastern
siberia. Mongolia. Manchuria, Pe-chi-lI
and Shantung, which amount to about
2,0oo,ooO square kilometers and have popu-
lation OF about s0.o0o000 persons"
The Japanese official publicity bureau
ins Vladivostok announced on December
10 that "a common ground on which to
base joint action in Siberia had been
reached by the United States and Japan.
The State Department in Washington on
december z denied the report, saying
that negotiations looking to such an
agreement. which were initiated by Japan
after the recent rapid advance Of the
Bolsheviki. still are in progress"

LONDON, Saturday.-General Dsni-
kne's government In southern Russia has
been overthrown, and General Romanov-
sly has been chosen TO replace General
Denikine as -Bolshevik chief, accord
ing TO wireless despatch received here
from Moscow, quoting advices from Tag
snrog
The report indicates that, owing to de-
feats along the front, there was a coup
d'etat at General Denikine's headquarters
and that the government has been re-
placed by q group known as the ''vozsz-
ndenye Rossie," a term meaning the "re-
generation OF Russia"
General Denikines fall, IL the foregoing
report is confirmed, is probably result
~ his recent defeats at the hands OF the
Bolsheviki III southern Russia. During
the past autumn Denikines forces moved
steadily northward, defeating the Soviet
troops IN many battles and apparently
threatening Moscow. After,he had reached
orel. 120 miles south of the Soviet cap
ftal, however, no encountered stern re-
5istance. which soon developed into fight
extending over q virtually continuous
front 400 miles in length.
Bolshevik cavalry finslly filtered
through the Denilline lines breaking com
Inunications in the rear, and forced the
anti-soviet forces to fall back rapidly.
Recent dispatches have indicated that tho
Bolshevild were rapidly approaching the
shores Of the Black Sea, on the western
and OF the front. and the volga River,
further east
There were reports last month that
Denikine had been dismissed from COM
Ynand of the anti-"red" army in Southern
Russia, but these were never confirmed.
Later it was said he might succeed Ad-
miral Kolchak as head of all the elements
fighting against the regime OF Lenine and
Trotzky.
General Romanovsky, who is reported to
have succeeded Denil1ine. may be Rus
sian officer who has been Acting Gov

Siberia. There is no other Russian gen.
eral by that name in available army lists.
