Bremen and Cologne tln the May number of the Spectator was begun Il series of articles by the author of the following on a tour through Germany. These articles will be continued in the Spectator throughout the yenr.- Edj N Monday, July 13, 1903, we arrived at Bremerhafen after having been on the water for eleven days. When we entered the harbor the tide was out and this left the water too shallow for the steamer to come up to the dock. A tender soon came, and to this the mail, passengers, and baggage were transferred. The weather was very damp and disagreeable, and, to make things worse, it began to rain. The people, with a few excep- tions, myself one of them, soon went below in the cabin and stayed there until we drew near the pier. The boat was moored, the gang-plank thrown out, and then came the rush to set foot on solid land. After landing we went into the custom house and there had the ,suit-case examined. This took but a few minutes, as the in- spector simply put his hand among the clothes and then placed his trade-mark on the side. One must truly blush for shame at our own methods of inspection when he compares them with those of European nations. I recall one instance in particular when we went to Innsbruck, where the Austrian officer placed his lable of inspection upon my case before he had seen what was in it. But I must continue my journey. After the inspection had been completed we went to the waiting room and had a light lunch. At 11:30 the train left, and after two hours riding we reached the city of Bremen. The scenery thoughout the journey was interestingg on both sides we saw Holstein cattle grazing, the gardens were flourishing and peat beds were being worked. Upon our arrival we at once started for a hotel and had dinner. ln the afternoon we took a cab, and, after riding around for two hours, saw many of the places of interest and marked the location of others which we wished to examine more carefully.
