GENERAL NEWS,

ROBBED OF £20,000.

-The officials of two Irish banks were waylaid and robbed recently while on their way from Mill Street, County Cork, to the village of Knocksgree, where a fair was being held. When about three miles from Mill Street the jaunt- ing car conveying the officials of the National Bank was stopped by armed Amen, and the officiala and the driver were manacled. The contents of a cash box were appropriated. The party then waited for the motor-car bringing the officials of the Munster and Leinster Bank, and held them up in similar manner. They then made off with the cash, estimated at £20,000.

ONLY MURDERERS MAY MARRY. Quaint stories of the "cannibals of New Guinea were told by Lieut. E. W. Pearson Chinnery, in a lecture at the Horniman: Museum, Forest Hill. The British, he said, had great difficulties in controlling the homicidal and cannibalistic practices of the natives. In some parts of the island a youth was not considered to have reached the social status of manhood, and was not allowed to marry, until he had slain a man. Efforts were made to induce the tribes to realise that the killing of a wild boar was an equally sound proof of velour, and in many instances these efforts were successful.

AN EAST AND WEST DRAMA. The life drama of an English girl who married a Chinaman was unfolded at a Poplar inquest on May Liu, aged twenty-seven, who was described as the wife of Ching Thin Liu, a mining

The doctor who attended Abbley admitted that he charged Abbley £2 55. which was at the rate of 10%.

THE SIBERIAN SITUATION,

London, Dec. 30. In view of Kvitchak's retreat in Siberia and Japan's determination to stem the flow of Bolshevism Japanwards the whole situation is under review by the Japanese Govern- ment in consultation with the Allies and the United States. At present Japan has 30,000 troops along the Trans Siberian Railway and the United States 7,000. It is understood the Japanere Government will act only after discussion with and with the cooperation of the Allies, if necessary Japan is prepared to increase her forces in Siberia. Meanwhile. arrangements have been completed for the early repatriation. of the Czechia Sloval troops who are concentrated near Mladinostock.

London, Dec. 30.

With reference to recrab reports regarding possible re- sizion pf Japanese policy in Siberia in view of altered con- ditions owing to Keltehak's retreat, Reuter learns from a Japanese source that the position is as follows:-About three weeks ago discussions between the Japanese and Americas Governments began at Washington with a view to future policy as regards Siberia, Britain being duly in- formed of the opening of pourparlors. Hitherto no decision has been reached owing to the War Secretary's absence from Washing Japan's views have been fully communicated to the State Department. It is obvious to the Japanese Government in view of crents in Siberia and Koltshak's retreat (which seems to be slow and orderly) that the whole position must be reviewed by the Tokio Government. Japan has presently Name 30,000 troops along the Trans Siberian Railway while the United States has perhaps 7,000, including engineers. Japan is determined to stem the fow of. Bolshevism Japanwards but any new action necessitated by The altered nation must depend on the politics and military position and can be taken only after discussion and in co-operation with the Allies. Japan is quite prepared to incrense her forces in Siberia if necessary.
