The two men ataggered and lapsed. One is believed to have been killed instantly,

The assaltants then turned on the bystanders, threatened them with the pistols and shouted to them to get Inside the building.

The other six put the dend and wounded into the Dutch car.

In the meantime, a German car arrived from the German side of the border and took the Dutch ear in tow. Then the attackers and victims disappeared over border. The whole drama occuples three minutes.

Onlookers Threatened Nobody was able to intervene, and those who looked out of the windows were threatened with guns and com- pelled remain still.

The smoodiness with which the al- tack was corried out gave the im pression that it was very carefully prepared.DA,

Gendarmes who arrived on the scene found a large number of cari. ridge cases, suggesting that the at- tackers had been firing very rapidly.

LONDON, Nov. 24 (Router).It is learnt on high authority in London that suggestions had reached London from important elements in the Nazi ruling circles which seemed to offer, the possibility of peace on rea- sonable terms.

It was obviously necessary to examine the bona fides of these suggestions - În case they might have practical Importance.

Capt. Stoves and Mr. Best were entrusted with this task, which was entirely proper, and had not the remotest connection with the Munich bomb plot

The Dutch authorities, as ex- plained In yesterday's offelal. state- ment at The Hague, were duly in- formed of the nature of the mis alon by Stevens and Best, and false -ed no objection.

As a precaution to ensure that nothing was done inconsistent with Dutch neutrality, a Dutch officer was sent to accompany the British emis- Baries.

The sequel is well known. Himmler's Gestapo agents parently discovered what was afoot
