BRITISH TROOPS
STOP DISORDERS
IN CITY OF COLOGNE

Cologne, Dec. 12.-Order has been
re-established in Cologne as the re-
suit Of the arrival of an advance guard
of British troops. There had been
several days OF the keenest anxiety in
the city caused by extensive riots and
pillaging on the part of mobs OF the
lower classes, with attendant blood
shed when turbulent elements clash
ed with hastily organized guards OF
responsible citizens armed with rifles
and machine guns.
The disorders began wednesday
night after the withdrawal of the
German troops. They continued the
next night IN various quarters on
large scale. Much damage was done
to property and a large quantity OF
goods were stolen from the stores.
According to Burgomaster Alden
auer, the rising was due TO the inabil-
ity Of the poor TO obtain food and
clothing owing to the scarcity of
these necessities. He thought there
was little reason to doubt, however.
that the tsouble also was due in part
TO the freshly inoculcated Bolsheviki
Idea among the populace that it was
needless to work any longer.
With the removal Of the restraint
exercised by the presence of the Ger
man troops the over-wrought nerves
Of the people seemed to have given
way and they went out to take for
ribIy what they were unable to buy.
The regular police were unable to
handle the situation and 5000 citizens
were called and armad by the burgo-
master TO maintain order. fight
between the rioters and this ciTic
guard resulted in several Of the riot
ers being killed. The burgomaster
finding that the conditions continued
to be grave, applied TO the armistice
commission to hasten the allied oc-
cupation.
Troops Arriving, Troubles Stop.
The troubles ceased with the ap-
pearance OF the troops yesterday. To-
day a Gordon of British forces We're
thrown out from the city along the
Rhine.
Affairs in Cologne now are moving
smoothly to all outward appearance.
Rurgomaster Adenaeur. however. told
the correspondent that the city was
facing starvation as only one weeks
supply of food was in sight. Other
German cities, he declared, were in
equally dire straits. being unable to
obtain food quickly and not knowing
what might happen as result of the
scarcity, while fresh supplies, he de-
ciared, could be obtained only from
the allied countries.
I'VE have been enemies, but for the
love of humanity come to our aid
now" the burgomaster urged vehem-
emily.
Cologne is accepting the occupation
as a real hardship although the Brit
ish are being treated courteously. The
burgomaster was particularly asgriev-
ed at the proposed new rules eompell-

tricts were in virtually starving
condition and. that aid was being rush
ed to the impoverished people, he ex-
pressed much surprise.
Cologne is takfn the occupation
calmly and many OF the population
showed an inclination to be friendly
The troops established themselves
Fin various parts of the city and along
the banks of the Rhine were the
meeting point Of the two forces, the
British holdise; two-thirds of each
bridge and the Germans the remain

Armed British and German sentries
were maintaining beats over their
sections and every few moments meet
ing gravely at the dividing line.
British machine guns, however, con-
trolled the entire crossing. Civilians
We're allowed to pass freely from one
side to the other.
Cologne did not appear especially
bright and gay today although there
were plenty of people on the streets.
Here and there among the crowd one
saw former German soldiers, who
could be picked out by a military cap
or tunic, trying to make a living by
selling various articles from push
carts.

ing the people to keep in their houses
between O'Clock in the evening and
s o'clock in the morning and requir-
ing the men to lift their hats to the
British officers.
The burgomaster declared he would
not be able to run the city IL busi-
ness were allowed to be conducted
only during the hours thus specified.
However, he issued a proclamation to
the residents urging them to maintain
order and show ciyility to the British,
which were still remembering that
they We're Germans"
When the burgomaster's attention
was directed to the harsh treatment of
the people in the areas the German
forces had been occupying, he de-
clared that Cologne had consistently
opposed the Germans going into Bel
GUM and France.

meeting of the Iowa Independent Tele-
phone Association atrthe Chamberlain

subject over and we'll into yesterday s
session lat did not result in any official
faction, as a Standardization of service
charges was felt to be impracticablc.
The discussion brought out the fact
that the average monthly rate was
somewhere between 81 and $3.50, de-
pending largely upon local conditions.
Altho sentiment was not favorable
to an attempted standardization Of
charges the opinion was generally eX-
pressed that rates ought to be generally

eighteen companies represented at the
session yesterday afternoon had ad-

that twelve companies We're still selling

Ames, March 22.-Every war garden
in Fort Dodge is to be marked with a
nom destructive United States flag to
proclaim that both garden and gard
ener are lined UP to whip the kaiser.
Fifteen hundred such flags have been
ordered.
That is only one evidence Of the
pep" that is being put into the war
garden movement thruout the state of
Iowa. At Eagle Grove war gardens
are also to be honored with flags. At
Davenport the Ad Mems Club is con-
Quoting the advertising campaign in

too, a bank is distributing 5000 sets
of garden seeds, each comprising four
packs. In Mason City the school
board has secured twenty Ave acres OF
land for the use of school boys and
girls who can not find vacant lots for
gardening and the Rotary Club has
offered 500 in prizes for the best

club cards were signed up in the first

sent to the garden movement promot-

astically than a year ago says j. c.
Cunningham, of Iowa State College,

ton of this activity. 1T is. likely that
the number of acres planted to gard
ems will be third larger than year
ago" 1t is important, Mr.. Cunning.
ham urges, that with this increased
acreage and the increased production
that will follow, there be increased eff
fort to conserve. Ordinarily much
garden stuff goes to waste. Conserva-
ton can be encouraged by selecting
the right garden crops-staple crops
and crops that can be stored or cas-
lily dried or canned Communities
ought to work together to build good
sized drying equipment. Even COM
munity canning outfits arc good in
vestment because they save time and
labor.
