BERLIN, June 24 (Associated Press).—Dr. Walter. Rathenau, German Minister of Foreign Affairs, was assassinated this morning. The Minister was shot and instantly killed as he was leaving his residence in Grunewald, a suburb of Berlin, for the Foreign Office in ) an automobile. The assassin escaped. Announcement of Dr. Rathenau's death was made in the Reichstag, ' There were two persans in the automobile from which shots that killed Dr. Rathenau were fired. It appears that his car was nearing the corner close to his home and had reduced its speed, when the car containing the assassins was encountered. Both the ocdupants are said to have opened fife upon the Foreign Minister, who fell to the floor ot his car fatally wounded, éxpiring shortly afterward. : © Among the members ‘of the Govern. meat the word that Dr, Rathenaw had 7 beon- assassinated came as a stunning blow.

The whole porple ot Berlin simply stopped dead in their tracks, and Kapp found himself the tuler of a dead city without food, water, light or any of the necessities it life.
