Flight of Planes

Amsterdam, Sept. 5.

'The Government protested to both London and Berlin yesterday that' a fight of unidentified war planes had flown over Holland Gropping leaflets printed in German. The planes apparently mistook Holland for German sell.

The leaflets explained to the German population the general war situation, and said; "Your Government fails to keep you informed. We are at war with the present German Government, but not with the German people. We do not believe you even know what is Air raid alarms were sounded all over the Rhineland yesterday, apparently due to planes dropping Teattets.

The "Netherlands civil anti-aircraft guard broadcast yesterday that "foreign aircraft were" flying over, the Northern provinces at 6.10 p.m.

Text read from the printed page and cleaned; old type leaves the occasional error.
