COLOGNE
i
Cologne, which today’s dispatches
inform us has been occupied by
American aviators, marks the nor
thern boundary of a belt of the
Rhine valley which was the scene of J
many successful Allied air raids dur-i
ing the last few weeks of the war. j
Crowded with war industries and
intersected by a railway system of
vital strategic importance to the Ger
man forces in France, this belt, ap
proximately 250 miles in length, had I
become a definite part of the war j
zone as the result of the whirlwind!
advance of the Americans in that;
sector of the Western front, and the
splendid achievements of the Royal;
Air force.
Over that region, during the fourj
months preceding the close of hos-;
tilities, the Allied airmen, operating
day and night, made over three j
hundred raids, ^during which ex-:
plosives in great quantities were j
dropped among railway centers, mun-;
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 a large
number of their airplanes from the
fighting front for the defense of
the Rhine. The greatest gain, how
ever, was the profound and wide
spread depression caused to the Ger
man people, not only in the area
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-!
hors and the employees of the war
industries to face the menace alone. !
This caused a lot of ill feeling and j
added much to the depression of the
populace, which appealed in vain to i
the military authorities for pro
tection.
In this region, more than any!
other part of Germany, the sus-1
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.
Early in the war it was predicted
that aerial supremacy would have
a very great influence on the final
outcome. Anil the successes of the
Allied airmen in the Rhine belt are
; described as one of the most strik
; ing and significant developments of
the Allied campaign, contributing in
no small degree to the undoing of
the enemy, and making it less diffi
[ cult for the Allies to insist upon
' their own terms of settlement.
The Secrtary of Commerce will
hold a hearing in Seattle November
22, to amend the order allowing
fishermen to operate in the Copper
river. Much complaint has been
made over fishermen stretching nets
across the river, barring fish from
the upper stream, and it is proposed
to bar commercial fishing in the
river from the delta up

NEW INSTRUCTIONS
In accordance wii'i instructions
sent to the Provost Marshal General
by the Secreary of War, local boards
under the selective service regula
tions, are instructed to discontinue
the classification of registrants un
der the new man-power bill, who will
on December 16th of the present
year, attain their thirty-seventh birth
day. The telegram containing the
above and other instructions regard
ing the matter is as follows:
Juneau, Alaska, Nov. 12, 1918
Cronin, Nenana:
“By direction of the Provost Mar
shal General the following message
is wired to all local and district
boards in full:
‘The Secretary of war has today
November 11th, issued the following
order, to the Provost Marshal Gen
eral :
‘You will at once instruct state
headquarters and local and district
boards immediately to discontinue
all work connected with the classi
fication of men who on December 16,
1918, attain their thirty-seventh
birthday. You will further instruct
said boards to complete as expedi
tiously as possible the classification
of all registrants who on December
16, 1918, attain their nineteenth
birthday. You will, finally, at the
earliest appropriate moment direct
all local and district boards to issue
questionnaires to all registrants who
on Deceber 16, 1918, shall attain
their eighteenth birthday and shall
not have attained their nineteenth
birthday, and to proceed with and
complete as early as possible the
classification of such registrants.
‘Further orders will be issued later
covering the matter of sending ques
tionnaires to and classificating 18
year-old registrants.
‘In entering pursuant to the fore
going instructions upon what seems
in view of the mighty events of the
day to be the final work of the
character to be done by the sel 'ctive
service system, I extend to the
members of that system my personal
congratulations upon their truly
great achievements of this past year
and a half, achievements that have
taxed to the utmost the time, the
ability, and the endurance of all
those engaged in the work, and that
have furished the army to which
in large measure must be given the
credit for saving to the world botl
civilization and government by the
people. To you, members of thal
system, must come as soon of duty
well done, which a loyalty, patriot
ism, and devotion such as yours car
bring. The country- and the work
knows that it owes to you a deb!
of thanks and gratiiudi which can
not be measured by ,v Tils, but only
by the affection, the resoect and thi
esteem, now yourl, of those amon.i
whom you live and "rem whom yoi
have taken that, which was beyi 11
'.price.
‘In undertaking the completion o]
your work under the orders abor <
given, I bespeak of you '.he sanu
i interest and tirelss energy which ha:
(characterized your work in the past
