UNKNOWN AEROPLANES
VISIT TO BERLIN A MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR. BERLIN, June 24. (Received June 25, .at 8 p.m.) The newspapers have been ordered to print prominently on their front pages an official report that “ Foreign aeroplanes of an unknown type ” appeared over Berlin in the afternoon and dropped pamphlets insulting the Government. The Air Minister, Captain Goering, states that as the air police did not possess aircraft several sporting machines pursued them, but could not over-, take the intruders. The newspapers have also been ordered to publish an official statement voicing a protest regarding Germany’s defencelessness in the, air. The statement adds: “Pamphlets dropped to-day; high incendiary bombs may be dropped to-morrow. Why have we no aeroplanes ? ” Nobody seems to have seen the mystery aeroplanes. Both the air police and the aerodrome authorities declare they have no knowledge of the incident.
