READY FOR ASSASSIN.
Japanese Statesman Sails Home to Death. United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, January 14. Mr Yukio Ozaki, aged seventy, formerly a prominent statesman and member of the Japanese Cabinet, has left London for Japan, says the “ Daily Herald.” knowing that assassination awaits him, because many of his countrymen consider that his speeches in America and Britain have been unpatriotic. Mr Ozaki has written to his son in Japan as follows: — “As more Japanese statesmen die violent than natural deaths, anyone claiming to be a first-class public man must be prepared for a tragic end. I have-never forgotten my mother's instruction : * Meet death with a smile.’ If possible I should like to die a death which will prove a lesson to posterity.”
