" The sympathy of the All Highest " has been
expressed to the Burgomaster of Frankfort regarding the latest air raid on the town, " which claimed many victims." We do not doubt that the All Highest will have many opportunities of sending telegrams on the same subject, to Frankfort and other cities, suffering under a " misfortune " directly due to the German policy of making war on civilians. From future messages His Majesty the Kaiser and King may be advised to delete the words " which is contrary to international law." Neutral nations know, best of all perhaps, whatdegree of respect Germany has shown for inter national law. The Kaiser describes Frankfort as " an open town " ; the description is presumably as accurate as the word " fortified" with which the Germans labelled Scarborough after shelling it.
