Since the U53 and the Deutschland paid us their respects early in the war, we have taken it for granted that the submarines would restrict their activities to the Irish Sea, the Mediterranean, and the waters around the coasts of England and France. At least, we soon believed this to be the German policy when, after the Naval Reserve had taken to sea in their motley array of ships, no enemy was found willing to do battle.

For all that, its history, its size and some of its architectural features no doubt entitle it to the respect which the British and French aviators have hitherto paid to it. But if considerations of military advantage should render it desirable to follow up the recent small attack on Cologne with larger and more destructive raids, and in one of these the cathedral at Cologne should be wrecked, its destruction would make but a poor exchange for the Cathedral...
