May 19.—What military ©ccupation does to a eity is exempli- fied perhaps as well in Cologne as in any city in Germany which is or will be possessed by allied forces. Outwardly in Cologne. long pos- Scssed. as in Dusseldorf. newly pos- Sessed. there is little sign of change. Life apparently. for the average Ger- man. is as it has always been, al- though considerably more expensive. The Konigs Alle, in Dusseldorf, and the Hohestrasse, in <ologne, are athrob with the multifarious doings of every day. Shop windows are crowded with goods—luxury apparel. Il’rl. jewels. beads, every sort of bau- bie ‘that bespeaks prosperity. Men #nd women hurry about their affairs.

The necessity for officers’ homes is qualified and definite.
