Morris tribune., 1905-11-04

} men made street scenes far from
dull and uninteresting. We visited
one lace shop and saw the women at
work with nimble hands at the most
wonderful creations. Over one
hundred fifty thousand women are
at work making lace in Belgium
Be ore leaving for Cologne, we
visited the battle field of Waterloo
There is little about this spot, sc
uueit and restful which would remind
the visitor of the great struggle OF
June 18th, 1915. From the top OF
the Lion monumental artificial
mound two hundred twenty five feet
high, can get panoramic view
of the field. To the left is the farm
of La Haye Sainte where the fercest
part of the battle was waged, farther
away is the farm of Belle-Alliance
where the main body of Napoleon's
troops were drawn up. You who
have read Victor Hugo's account of
the battle in Les Miserables can
people these places with living forms.
Various monuments are erected
over the field to commemorate some
great commander of some wonder
full exhibition of courage 5y picked
troops.
On Saturday we went to Cologne,
passing thru German customs on
the frontier. These proved very easy
save for a lack of conversational
powers. At Cologne the great
cathedral or Dom was the chief
point of interest and the celebrated
church of St. Ursala is also worthy
of visit by the curious. The
cathedral, considered by those best
fitted to Judge, to be the finest and
most magnificent Gothic edifce in
the world, is certainly worth long
journey to see. The two spires over
five hundred feet in height are re-
markable for their symmetry and the
profusion of turrets, gargoyles, cor
nices and foliage, We attended one
service here and were especially |
struck with the beautiful music
To hear thousand Germans singing
a TIE Deuna, is treat.
From Cologne, or Koln, as the
Germans have it, We took the steamer
for the Rhine trip. That trip will
never be forgotten. Every hill or
bluff, crowned by ruined castle
mutely speaks of the days of the
feudal lord and his vassals; of the
days when kings we're made and un-
m ade in day; when political power
depended almost solely upon mill,
ta!y prowess and brute strength;
every slope is terraced and rich in
vines, whose products have made
famous the Rhenish wines. These
spoke of uutIriag energy
in turning rocky hill3iAes into fert Ie
ground. AS if in contrast to the
wine producing industry, we also
passed close to the chief Office of
the ,Apolinaris Water Company,
whose products are blessing n
his land of impure and dangerous
drinking water. We had planned to
spend the night at Goblenz but dis {
