Mr. Boothby's

Proposals

For A "Solution"

Berlin, To-day.

The Czecho-Slovakian Minister in Berlin last even

Official German circles declare that the Czech alle- gations that German planes have flown over the frontier, are completely unfounded.-

Reuter.

The Czech note, according to in-| formed quarters in Berlin, is not to be regarded as a

protest, and the German authorities have merely "acknowledged" the note.
