cOL0GNE'S UPS AND DOWNS
importsnt German City Of the Present
Has Had Its Periods Of Dire
Adversely.

During the Middle Ages Cologne
was q place Of great trade; the weav-
erS, the gOldsmlths, and the armOrers
of the city We're famous the world
over; while its merchants had houses
in London and the city itself was ac-
corded & chief place in the Hanseatic
league. Decay set In with the dawn Of
the Reformation, and the place owed
its downfall to its intolerance. Thus,
Its university, which in the fourteenth
and fifteenth centuries had great
reputation, began at once to decline.
This policy dealt severe blows at the
prosperity of the town, and when,
In 1854, Cologne was occupied by the
French, it was a poor and decayed
city of some 10000 inhabitants, OF
which only 5000 possessed civil rights.
Since 1915, however, when 1t was
finally assigned to Prussia, Cologne
has continued TO prosper, until to-
day ii is one of the most important
cities of Germany, with a population
Of nearly half a million.

Fooi-Proof Airplane.

The latest model of British airplane
Is said TO be as nearly foOlprOOf as 1t
Is possible 10 make such machine
as an airplane. The machines are so
balanced and the wings so arranged,
that when the engine stops they glide
gradually and easily to earth. The
following test shows how stable these
airplanes are: A pilot climbed to a
sufficient height, and then stopped his
engine and took his hands off the con-
troll, merely keeping his feet on the
rudder bar. He steered for an air
drome twenty miles away, and, having
headed her straight, he let the air.
plane do what she liked. She trav-
sled the whole twenty miles as stead
lily as bicycle cOasting down a long,
straight and gentle hill. OF course
the pilot had to take hold of the con-
troll stick to land the machine in the
airdrome, but except for that, and the
steering, the airplane made the whole
Journey by herself.

Dous as MESSENGERS.

Experiments made in the training Of
dogs as messengers with the armies
in the field have, 1t is stated, given
satisfactory results. The dogs which
proved most receptive under instruc-
lions are chiefly half-breed collies and
retrievers. A rather poor breed Of
bob-tailed sheepdogs has also done
well. All have been trained to per-
form their errands during heavy fir
ing, both of rifles and guns. They
can be fired over as easily as the or
binary sporting dog, and what is quite
another thing, they will face fire at
close range.

WARS TOTAL COST FIXED
At 100 BILLIONS; GERMANS
MUST PAY 40 BILLIONS

LONDON, March IL CBy .wireless).-
The total cost of the war to the allies
Is estimated by the Pail Mall Gazette
at 500, 900. 100000. This does not in
cIude the incalcuIable damage done by
the German troops in the area they
occupied, especially France and Bel
Gium.
The repsration commission, ap-
pointed by the peace conference has
decided that Germany shall pay $49,-
900, 100000, this paper learns on good
authority. It can be seen that this
total represents only a small part Of
the total cost OF the war to the en=
tente powers. The main point to be
determined By this commission was
not what Germany should pay. but
what she could pay, coRtinues the Pail
Mall Gazette.
An amount was finally fixed by the
commissioners after prolonged inves-
tigltion, and It indicates their Opin-
ion Of the capacity Of Germany to
Iiquidate her financial obligations fJr
the most infaomus war in the history
OF mankind
Germany's moral obligation, con-
cludes the newspaper, never can be
