THE0THER ANGLE
Gen. Pershing.
BY KIRK MILLER.

Blackjack Pershing parked his heels
in America today. Military heels!
That is to say he arrived in Hoboken.
Those who have never been in Ho-
boken will easily concede that when
the general walked down the gang
plank at Hoboken. his feet at an
angle Of As degrees and his smile at
an angle Of 1870, he was in America.
But those who have ever smelled Ho-
boken will argue that he had still one
more top to go over before he was
officially in the star-spangled United
States.
Pershing is now a chronic general.
UP until Friday he only had the symp-
SpmS.
Grant, Sherman and Sheridan were
the only three other politicians in the
world or under it who could ever get
the voters to slip 'em a quartet of
silver stars, and that is where the pop
ular belief that every star has sill
yer lining originated.
The gen'l-you got to know him well
to call I'm that's under the impress
sion that the war is over, but when he
gets to Washington and learns about
all of the investigations and probes
and inquiries, he'll be doubly glad
he was picked for field commander In =
stead Of President. By the time he has
to stop few congressional shrapnel
he'll think that Sherman should have
been made an habitual general solely
on the strength of his touching dis
course on war
While everybody knows that Mr..
Pershing Is an inveterate general. no
body knows whether he is demo-
crat, vegetarian, calamity bowler or
just a republican. That was the first
thing the reporters asked him and it
will be the last thing he will tell them
Getting SO man can't have any secrets
any more-not even secrets from him
self. Possible for a bird to hide his
false teeth, his toupee and his religion,
but his politics he must wear on mis-
coat lapel along with the soup and
eggs.

URGES REGULATION

This is District day in the House.
hut action on District legislation was
delayed by a speech by Representative
Mason of Illinois on his resolution
to withdraw American soldiers from
Siberia, and by House action on sew
eraI resolutions brought in by the
committee on accounts.
Chairman Mapes of the District COM
mittee first called up the coming bill
authorizing coming commission to
regulate the height OF puiloihss III ING
District.
REPRESENTATIVE Gard of Ohio asked
If there was any conflict between the
authority of the Fine Arts Commits
sion and the proposed coming commits
sion. Chairman Mapes explained that
the Fine Arts Commission had no leg
islative authority and merely made
recommendations to Congress regard
ing legislation. Representative Gard
suggested the appointment of repre-
sentative of the Fine Arts Commission
upon the proposed coming commission.
Questioned as to Relationship.
REPRESENTATIVE Treadway of Massa-
chusetts questioned what relationship
there was between this proposed zon-
ing bill and the protests that have
been made to Congress and recon-
mended by the Fine Arts Commission
for limiting the height of an apart
ment building to be erected on 18th
street between v and w streets.
Representative Treadway quoted
from a letter by Engineer Commits
sioner Kutz stating that it would be
unwise to make public what the zon-
ing commission porposed to do until
Congress had given the commission
authority. Mr.. Treadway thought
that it would be unwise for Congress
to grant authority until it was made
plain what the District authorities
proposed to do under the coming sys-
tenn.
