EMPEROR'S BIRTHDAY HORROR

SHANGHAI, Apr. 29, 1.06 p.m.

HONGKEW PARK WAS AT NOON TO-DAY THE SCENE OF A SENSATIONAL ANTI-JAPANESE OUTRAGE, AS A RESULT OF WHICH JAPAN'S FIVE LEADING DIPLOMATS AND WAR CHIEFS WERE WOUNDED, FOUR OF THEM GRAVELY.

THE VICTIMS WERE:

DANGEROUSLY WOUNDED.

Mr. Murai, the Japanese Consul-General in Shanghai; Mr. Shigemitsu, the Japanese Minister in China and chief delegate in the armistice negotiations, SERIOUSLY WOUNDED.

Lieut. General Yoshinori Shirakawa, who replaced General Uyeda as com- mander-in-chief of the Japanese military forces;

Lieut. General Kenkichi Uyeda, second-in-command.

WOUNDED.

Vice-Admiral Nomura, commander-in-chief of the Japanese naval forces in Chinese waters.

The occasion of the outrage was a giantic military display in Hongkew Park in honour of the Japanese Emperor's birthday.

Thousands of Japanese civilians were gathered in the park for the martial array. A review of over ten thousand Japanese troops was the principal feature of the affair.

In the centre of the Park was a small platform on which Mr. Shigemitsu, Mr. Murai, General Shirakawa, General Uyeda and Admiral Nomura were all standing.

BOMB HITS CENTRE OF PLATORM

Just about noon, after the review, Mr. Murai was delivering a speech. He was half way through when the platform was shattered by a bomb which landed right in the middle.

There was a terrific explosion and it was seen that all the officials had been wounded. Mr. Murai and Mr. Shigemitsu are in a dangerous condition from wounds, the two army leaders are seriously injured, while Ad- miral Nomura cacaped with face injuries.

The bomb is believed to have been thrown by, a Korean. Before he was captured by the military, he was badly handled by the crowd and was picked up uncon- scious.

Numerous people in the crowd received hurts when! crowds of Japanese women and children stampeded panic-stricken by the occurrence.-Reuter,
