GRAVE INCIDENT IN -

TOKYO.

Tokyo. Yesterday. The French Ambassador, M. Debilly, was the victim of an at- tack by two drunken Japanese while motoring near Kamakura with two officers of the French cruiser "Primoguet."

The Ambassador was not in jured, but the officers were bruis- ed while putting up a fight before the police arrived and arrested the assailants,...

The Ambassador considers the mattér trivial and impersonal, and. therefore no complaint will be made to the Foreign Office.-Reu- ter.
