 From Visit.

Cologne, Feb. i9.-tBy the Associ- nted Press. )--Werc 1t not for certain kconveniences the Ruhr would doubtless be invaded by American tourists. Some sightseers from the United States have already visited "the new front but they failed to get the desired thrill out of what they saw. In fact. they were sadly disap- pointed because the only smoke that came to their attention was the busi- ness-iikc output Of the factories and colliers. Tanks, armored 1cars and machine guns are in commanding places in many of the Ruhr towns, but most of these are off the beaten paths of the automobilists. Tourists have come from Coblenz. Berlin, Munich, Paris and London but many lest heart after encountering difficult ties attendant upon acquiring the nec- cssary credentials and got no farther than Cologne.
 The Ruhr valley is not likely to be- come a rival of the Valley of Kings, as a sightseeing paradise for the mil itary restrictions may soon be tight ened and furthermore prices in the occupied area are higher than when n arks sold at the rate of 5o,ooo to the dollar.
