We may also be sure that the indignation expressed by
the American Press at the attempt to kill the Queen will greatly touch the King. But, in truth, neither she nor the King will be in the least disturbed by being singled out for the special vengeance of the enemy. They both learned long ago to accustom themselves to every form of personal risk as part of a Sovereign's daily duty. The New York Times very happily goes on to compare the air raid with the raids of "the Indians in the early days of our history." The only result of such raids was that the colonists "laid in new stores of powder and ball." The Evening Pool and the Tribune are equally clear and equally strong in their denuncia- tion of the raid. The New York Herald pertinently asks of Germany "how many years will it take her to live down the record she is making," and the New York American points out that "sailing through the black night to drop bombs on a baby's crib is but a sorry use to make of war's opportunities for valour and personal courage."
