PEACE STUDY PROMISED. By International News Servica. COPENHAGEN, Nov. 11. The German minister at the Hague late tonight informed the Dutch government th'at the reich would "carefully study" the peace mediation offer made by King Leopold and Queen Wilhelmina, according to information reaching Copenhagen.

The blast went off between the ceiling and floor directly above the rostrum from which the fuehrer had spoken only a few minutes before to old guard nazis gathered for their annual get-together at the scene of their 1923 putsch. Prior to Himmler's announcement, authorities ordered a roundup of all persons in Germany without proper identification papers. The fuehrer returned unannounced from Berlin for the state funeral of the six men and one woman who died- in the explosion he missed by only 11 minutes Wednesday night. Afterward he surveyed the wreckage of the nazi shrine, where his abortive 1923 putsch started. heard the commission of inquiry 'report and visited the 63 injured by the wast.

ACT TO PREVENT SCARES. Report of German Ultimatum Denied by Netherlands. By International News Service.

AMSTERDAM, Nov. 11. The Netherlands government, amid a day of lessening nervousness, tonight took steps to prevent "scare" reports of an imminent German invasion from receiving wide circulation. A (British) Reuters dispatch from The Hague declared the Netherlands government officially denied a report that Germany had served a virtual ultimatum on Holland. Foreign correspondents were warned that official measures including strict censorship may have to be taken by the Dutch regime "in order to control reports of an oversensational type appearing abroad." In well-informed circles the impression was spreading that the present crisis was waning.

German circles reiterated declar ations that Dutch neutrality would Situation Calmer. As renewed calmness settled over the Netherlands, foreign correspondents awaited in vain any new or exceptional reports of German activity on the border. Dutch authorities reiterated their assurances and declared they were increasingly anxious that the government's defense measures should not be interpreted as directed against any single belligerent.

IOWA CITY.

Nov. 11. Notre Dame's victory streak came to an abrupt end here today as Iowa's revived Hawkeyes capitalized upon a second period break to defeat, 7-6. a club which was superior in every fundamental except alertness, Nile Kinnick. as great a halfback as ever trod the sod of this huge stadium, scored all seven Iowa points.

It was his dropkick for an extra point 10 seconds before the end of the first half which won the ball game and spilled the Irish for the first time this season. The victory definitely established Coach Eddie Anderson as Kingfish of the Hawkeye state and also maintained Iowa's reputation for spoiling Notre Dame winning streaks. Just 18 years ago Notre Dame came into this city with a 20-game victory chain and departed with a 10-7 defeat. Then as now, Notre Dame made more first downs and picked up more yardage, but it was Iowa who held the scoring margin. A fumble by Steve Sitko three yards in front of the Irish end zone set up Iowa's storing opportunity, Floyd Dean and Dick Evans pouncing upon the loose ball to give Iowa a first down on the Irish four-yard line.

Kinnick plunged to the end zone in three plays and then calmly dropkicked the extra point that meant victory. Sitko Fumbles Ball. Sitko's fumble followed an interception of Kinnick's pass intended for 3ill Green. The Irish quarterback snared the ball in Notre Dairie ena zone ana aasnea lor open territory. As he reached the four-yard line he attempted to lateral the ball to Lou Zontini but he was bumped by the center Bruno Andruska.

The ball flew out of Sitko's hands and players on both teams dived after it. When the pile-up was finally torn apart. Referee Jim Masker found Evans and Dean in possession of the ball and Notre Dame was in a tough spot the only time during the afternoon. The Irish threatened to score twice in the third period but it took two plunges by Stevenson and Milt Piepul to gain the lone Notre Dame touchdown early in the fourth Piepul's five-yard drive climaxed a march of 49 yards and Notre Dame looked like it was going to roll for plenty of points. Zontini, a reliable kicker, belted a placement attempt with his trusty right leg but the ball swerved to the left of the uprights and Iowa was out in front by a point, a margin which it protected with Kinnick's great punting.

Hold Punting Duel. Kinnick and Stevenson squared away in a kicking during the final minutes of play and the former won because he placed his efforts better. His 61-yard punt out of bounds on the Irish six-yard line in the final two minutes of play definitely crushed Notre Dame's hopes and assured the Hawkeyes of a- reception which surpassed anything ever seen in these parts. Kinnick and Coach Anderson were carried off the field by a swarm of fans, and the crowd staged a 10-minute demonstration which hit a new high for this territory. Kinnick was the greatest one-man ball team Notre Dame had met this season.

His kicking was sensational and kept the Irish around midfield most of the day. He threw only one forward pass but he ran with the ball 19 times to account for more 'than half of Iowa's offensive plays. The loss ruined a six-game streak for Notre Dame and marked the fifth time in 30 years that a Big 10 team had downed the Irish. It was a one-sided game in many respects, both clubs playing careful defensive ball until late in the Continaed a Paf One, Sport bectloa. THE WEATHER.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11. The United States Chamber of Com merce tonight proposed for the next congress a recovery formula embracing further revision in reve nue laws and including lower cor porate taxes and reduced govern mental expenditures.

Stress, Spending Curb. The chamber disclosed that at treasury hearings spokesmen for the financedcommittee emphasized that a fiscal program should include some means of controlling expenditures to keep them within the yield of a permanent tax system. "It is obvious that upon the basis of present national income and reasonably anticipated increases no endurable revenue program that we or the treasury could propose would raise the 500.000,000 required for the cur rent fiscal year," the chamber said. "The immediate task is to develop a revenue system, that will encourage the maximum increase in national income while at the same time adopting methods to ke expenditures within the tounds of a The more important recommen dations of the chamber include: 1.

A big German bombing plane, risking the hazards of one of the best defended areas in the waf zone, boldly attacked a French channel steamed today just after the ship had. left a French pott, bound for England. Two bombs, dropped from a high altitude, fell into the water of the English channel, one of them ordy 120 yards from the steamer which was carrying 90 passengers. No casualties or damage were inflicted. Three allied pursuit planes attacked the German bomber, peppering it with machine gun bullets and forcing it to flee at high speed over the northeastern horizon.

The raider was prevented from diving low over the channel steamer. It was the first attack of its kind since the European war began 10 weeks ago. No air raid on a steamer in the English channel, across which Britain has been transporting masses of troops and material, had previously been GERMAN PRESS HINTS PLAN TO INVADE BRITAIN By United Press. BERLIN, Nov. 11.

A hint that nazis might attempt to invade England's "tight little isle" was given for the first time today in the German press. The newspaper, Deutsche Allge-meine Zeitung. said there was "no divine law" that the island should always be free from the entry of an enemy. A plan of invasion which "experts often sneered at" may turn out to be a sudden surprise, the newspaper said, pointing out that dispatch of British troops to France would weaken the British defenses at home.
