“AGAIN FREE. "
HOTEL IN COLOGNE. v RECENT BRITISH~HEADQUARTERS (Per Press Association —Copyright.) • (Received This Dal, 12.5 p.m.) COLOGNE, December 29. The path work by sentries during the seven years’ patrol outside the Excelsior Hotel, the former General Headquarters, is the only remaining sign of the British occupation of Cologne. The hotel to-day reverted to pre-war usee, fulfilling a notice • displayed across the frontage after nearly eight years’ occupation, “This hotel is again free.” A specially-invited company of Government, civic, and other guests celebrated the occasion. British taxpayers must defray rent compensation, with renovartion of the 1 hotel and adjoining premises, the appalling total of which is fiercely disputed.
