a cerebral hemorrhage as a contri

the convulsions began was listed as
ur. known.
It was signed, Burney said, by an
Interne at a hospital from which she
had been discharged as well three
days before. The interne stated on
the death certificate he had last
sen her alive then.
The girl had been discharged as
being completely out of danger on
November 26. Strong sedatives, Bur

Received; No
Threats
CANNES, Prance, De c.14.—(A5)—
New guards watched Mrs. Wallis j
Warfield Simpson today as the re- !
suit of abusive letters criticising her i

A detective from the Surete Na
tionale was designated as a special
guard for the American woman on
all trips from the Villa Lou Viel,
her haven since she left England.
The other French guards on duty
at the estate will remain, but de
tectives from Scotland Yard, Lon
don, who accompanied her here,
have been ordered home.
•A new chauffeur -also was engag
ed to assist the detective In guard
ing Mrs. J5imp*#n oiv trips away
from home. He replaced George
Ladbrook, royal chauffeur who was
ordered to return to London.
Members of the household said
they were not worried by the
"crank letters,” which they regard
ed as a natural consequence of the
stirring days which saw Edward,
now the Duke of Windsor, give up
his throne because of his love for
Wallis.
None of the letters. Mrs. Simp
son’s hosts said, contained a direct
threat to her safety.

China Faces War

May Be Executed
The Domel (Japanese) newspaper
agency quoted responsible political
observers in China as believing ex
ecution by a firing squad, or life
imprisonment, was the most likely
order which Marshal Chang would
write for his captured superior.
Nanking, said the agency, was be
lieved to be attempting to buy ofi
the young marshal. But the Chin
ese observers said they doubted
whether the crafty Chang could be
persuaded to free the generalissimo
on Nanking’s terms.
Oomei also said it was feared now
that anti-Japanese agents of the
Chinese popular front would attempt
to divide China into two hostile
camps, the popular front and the
national front—and bring about
something of an Oriental Spain.
Such a situation, the agency con
tended, would lead to intensified
international turmoil.
The reports from China said four
government divisions would advance
on Sianfu from the south Shensi
and four others from Kansu when
