COLOGNE

Cologne, which today's dispatches inform us has been occupied by American aviators, marks the nor thern boundary of belt of the Rhine valley which was the scene of many successful Allied air raids dur ing the last few weeks of the war. Crowded with war industries and intersected by railway system of vital strategic importance to the Ger man forces in France, this belt, ap- proximately 250 miles in length, had become a definite part of the war zone as the result of the whirlwind advance of the Americans in that sector of the Western front, and the splendid achievements Gf the Royal Air force.
 Over that region, during the four months preceding the close of hos tilities, the Allied airmen. operating day and night, made over three hundred raids, Huring which ex- plosives in great quantities were dropped among railway centers, mum ition works, poison gas factories, electrical and engineering plants, blast furnaces, aerodromes and other important military objectives.
 The effects of these raids were of incalculable value to the Allies. One of the first was the compulsory with, drawal by the Germans of large number of their airplanes from the fighting front for the defense oi the Rhine. The greatest gain, how ever, was the profound and wide spread depression caused to the Ger man people, not only in the ares attacked by the airmen, but through

out the entire country.
 The more wealthy residents of the Rhine country, exposed to attack, fled to regions of greater safety, leaving their less fortunate neigh bors and the employees of the war industries to face the menace alone. This caused a lot of i'll feeling and added much to the depression of the populace, which appealed in vain to the military authorities for pro- lection.
 In this region, more than any other part of Germany, the sus- pension of hostilities came as a very great relief, the terms of settlement being of secondary consideration. They had suffered hardship and sac rifice without complaint, but when the Allied airmen came, the van guard of an overpowering force, there resulted quickly a change of sentiment in favor of peace. The Rhinish Germans, it is reasonable to believe, were ready to end the struggle on the Allied terms long before the rest of the German people realized the futility of continuing the war.
 i Early in the war it was predicted that aerial supremacy would have very great influence on the fina, outcome. And the successes of the
 Allied airmen in the Rhine belt arc described as one of the most strik
 ing and significant developments ot the Allied campaign, contributing il no small degree to the undoing ot
 the enemy, and making it less diff
 cult for the Allies to insist upoI their own terms of settlement.
