JAPANESE CONSUL DIES IN CAR CRASH

Hamburg, To-day.

The funeral of the Japanese Con- sul-General, Mr. Sentaro Yedo, who was killed in a motor accident, took place at the crematorium here yes- terday in the presence of a - large assembly which included the Japan- ese Ambassador, Mr. Togo, and the whole staff of the Embassy, the Japanese Vice-Consul in Hamburg. Mr. Shigeo Imai, and numerous re- presentatives of the Japan Com- munity.

Mr. Chamberlain “advised - Sir Percy to wait until he saw the text of the letter to the League.
