TROUBLE AT COLOGNE STOPPED
BY BRITISH TROOPS

Cologne, Saturday. BY the Asso-

tablished in Cologne as result of the
arrival of the advance guard British
troops There have been several days
of the keenest anxiety in the city
caused by extensive riots and pillag-
ing on the part of mobs of the lower
classes, with attendant blOodshed
when the turbulent element clashed
with hastily organized guards of re-
sponsible citizens armed with rifles
and machine guns.
According to Burgomaster Adenaur
the rioting was due to inability of
the poor to obtain food and clothing
owing to the scarcity of these neces-
sites.
1t is thought also that it was due
in part to freshly inculcated BOlshevik
IDEAS. The trouble ceased with the
appearance of troops yesterday.
