(Received This Dav, 1d.6 p.m.) LONDON, May 10. The appearance of Spitfires over The Hague aroused tremendous cheering. The Hague has not been raided since early morning. The Waalhaven airport is reported to be again in Dutch hands. Fierce fighting continues against a batch of Germans at Dordrecht. Another batch, installed in a factory at Delet, has been surrounded. The Schipol Aerodrome is not damaged as seriously as was at first believed. Neighbouring villages have been evacuated. Long processions of carts, lorries and even perambulators, laden with luggage and household treasures are trailing along the roads to Amsterdam. Holland’s Commander-in-Chief, General J¥inkelman, in an order of the day, says: “Germany’s surprise attack can be / considered a failure.”
