THE ARMISTICE
OCCUPATION OF COLOGNE
BRITISH LAW NOT TO BE TRIFLED WITH
By Telegraph—Press Association-Copyright (He , :. December 21, 1.20 a.m.) London, December 18. Mr. Percival Phillips, writing from Cologne, says the city is beginning to realise that British law must not bo trilled with. Over foity men and women were fined ten marks, or seven days' imprisonment, for being abroad after 0 o'clock at night without a. pass. Many of the British military police are old Metropolitan constables, and use the same firm but courteous methods. Proceedings in court are scrupulously fair, though calm, there being no bullying, i'irst offenders detained near the British Governor's headquarters failed to realise the- British police's seriousness when asked to produce their passes, but succumbed to the bullying questions of the German detective interpreters.—Aus.-N.55.-Cable Assn.
