Frequent flights of German aeroplanes over Swiss territory of late have provoked the strongest indignation in Switzerland. This is reflected in all the papers of the country. The semi-official Bund declares that the time has come to demand from Germany something more than mere expressions of regret or excuses. It is pointed out that this is the thirteenth incident of the kind and that the German minister gave the most solemn assurances last August that there would be no further violation, adding that German aviators were ordered to keep three miles from the Swiss frontier. However, the raids have been even more frequent since, than before. In a flight over Porentruy, on March 31, two aeroplanes dropped five bombs on the town. Later, it is stated, the German government apologized for the attack.
