Cologne, Sunday, Dec. s.-British
troops today were in possession OF ali
the great bridges across the Rhine
at Cologne as a result of the sud-
den and unexpected withdrawal OF
German sentries from the eastern
end Of the crossings during the
night.
British soldiers yesterday were pa
trolling two thirds OF each bridge
while the Germans were keeping their
beats over the remaining third.
About 10 O'clock last night II was
noticed that the Germans had disap-
peared and investigation showed
they had departed, presumably to re-
join the retiring TeutonIc army. The
arrival of Scotch infantry in the city
late today caused the greatest excite
ment among the sightseers as the
kilties swung through the streets be-
hind their wailing bagpipes.
So eagerly did the people press
forward that at times traffic was
practically halted. Certainly for q
moment the crowds came as near
forgetting their hatred of the allies
as they had at any time in four
years, for the Highlanders made a
great hit and drew a smile to many
hard faces.
While feeling considerably grieved
over being under British rule, Col
ogne is still exhibiting keen interest
in the proceedings of the troops Of
occupation. Today being Sunday.

Washington. Dec. 1S.-Neither the

league of nations has altered 1 the
policy of the general board Of the
navy In regard to making the Amer
lean navy second to none in the
world. Rear Admiral Charles j
Badger, chairman OF the executive
committee of the beard, yesterday
told the house naval affairs COM
mittee the navy should be equal to
that of.any other nation by 1926 and
urged sufficient appropriations MAX

gress.
The general board believes undel
the present world conditions and the
conditions likely TO obtain in the
future" Admiral Badger said, "the
United States navy should steadily
continue to increase. Ultimately il
should be equal tosthe most powerful
maintained by any other nation.
Year by year development should be
made as consistent with the facilities
of the country, but the limit above
defined should be attained not later
than 1925.
''Navies must be the principal sup
port Of league Of nations, and the
United States from it's wealth, in
fluences and power, will be called
upon to contribute a large share of
the international police force to
render such a league effective"

the admiral said, will be not only to
guard the country against invasion
but to protect as we'll the great mer-

Completion of the three-year
building program authorized in 1916
and which was halted to build anti
submarine craft was Recommended
by Admiral Badger. Work has not
yet been started on six battleships,
six battle cruisers, two scout
cruisers, nine fleet submarines, two
destroyer tenders, and one fleet sub
marine tender, he said. Lack of ships
of this type. he declared, would have
been fatal to the United States If it

Traffic of all sorts Is passing over
the bridges across the Rhine, es-

bridge, which carries street car lines
over the river and has massive tow
ers as super structures at the ED.
This bridge was found to have been
deliberately prepared for defense.
From the design of the towers they
appear to have been built with steel
shutters through which were loop
holes. The western end Of the bridge
is veritabIe fortress. which is oc-
cupied by British soldiers, whose
machine guns dominate both the
bridge and the road to the cathedral.
Almost under the muzzles OF the
rapid firers stand mammoth eques-

side OF the entrance.
IT is an interesting coincidence that
the troops guarding the HohenzoIiern
bridge who were the first to cross
the Rhine also fired the first shot in
the war for Great Britain and Bel
GUM and killed the first German ac-
counted for by the British.
