Shooting And A Kidnapping In MysterioizsAffair
Extraordinary Defence Measures Taken By The Netherlands As
Fear Of Invasion Grows.
(By Max Harrelson, Associated Press Staff Writer) AMSTERDAM, Nov. 9—(AP)—A mysterious shoot- ing incident on the Netherlands-German frontier in which two persons may have been killed and several abducted into Germany was reported tonight as the Netherlands began precautionary flooding of her vital “water ine” defences.
One report of the clash was that two persons were killed. Another authorized version said only one person was injured. Both versions agreed several persons hzld been spirited across the border into Germany.
The incident heightened nervousness prevailing in this country and neighboring Belgium as a result of rumors of intensified German military activity on the western front. Belgian mobilization was raised to 600,000.
An official announcement at the Hague said that all Netherlands army leaves had been withdrawn, a move
which placed 50,000 men back under arms. The announcement said the gov-
