The Inquest on Lance Sergeant was killed on J, J. Post, who Christmas Day na the result of motor-cycle mishap, was continued before the Coronor (Mr. Lindsell) at the Central Police Court yester-Herald, in an editorial based on the utterances yesterday of the day.
German Minister for Defence, Dr. Groener, and Signor Mussolini.
The former, in conveying the Cabinet's New Year greetings to President Hindenburg,, dwelt on the intolerable burden imposed on Germany by the Young war re- parations plan, and Insisted on equal treatment for Germany with the ethor Powers in the matter of
Mr. Daniel Yang, a Chinese em- ployed at Messrs. Grifith & Co., stated that at 2.30 p.m. on the day in question, he was going up Ice House Street when he heard a crash in Lower Albert Road. He ran to the spot and found a Eur pean, lying on the ground, with his face towards the wall.
Mussolini, in a newspaper inter- view, indicated that he was pre- pared to support Germany on the armaments question, and in de manding a revision of the peace treaties.

He could seo no pedestrian, dog or other animal crossing the road at the time.

He must have then run Into the side-channel and hit the bank a violent glancing blow.
The Daily Herald points out that has been made equally clear that France will fintily resist such do- manis, and declares it is fortunate Mr. Henderson is at the Foreign Office in view of the dangerous an- the con- tagonism developing on tinent-Reuter.
