NAZI OUTRAGE. Crossed Border And Took Car Into Germany. WILD ARMED CLASH. United I'ress Association.—Copyright. (Received 1.30 p.m.) LONDON, November 9. The Exchange Telegraph Company's representative at Amsterdam reports that one man, believed to be Dutch, was shot dead and a number of Dutchmen were kidnapped at y elno, on the Dutch-German frontier to-night, during an armed clash between German officials and Dutchmen. A German motor car crossed the frontier when a Dutch car was approaching the Dutch barrier, 10 yards from the German Customs house. The Germans presumably wanted to continue the journey into Holland in the Dutch car. German officials and Customs officers, all armed, then ran across the Dutch frontier, menaced onlookers, and ordered customers of a nearby cafo to move Inside. A wild shooting affray followed, in which an occupant of the Dutch car was •hot dead and tho body was dragged back into Germany. The others in the Dutch car, and the car, were seized and taken to German territory. Ihe Dutch authorities have ordered •it immediate investigation.
