COLOGNE CELEBRATES.
END OF. BRITISH OCCUPATION
(Br CABLE— PRFSS ASSOCIATION—COPYBIOBT.) (AUSTRALIAN AND N.Z. CABLI ASSOCIATION.)
COLOGNE, December 29.
The path worn by sentries in their seven years' patrol outside the Excelsior Hotel, the former general headquarters, ;s the only remaining sign of the British occupation of Cologne. The hotel to-day reverted to its pre-war uses. A notice displayed across the frontage states that after nearly eight years' occupation, this hotel is again free.
A specially-invited company of Government, civic, and other guests celebrated the occasion. The British taxpayer must defray the rent, compensation, and renovation of- the hotel and adjoining premises. This makes an appalling total, which is fiercely disputed.
