Congratulations on Success of
 Pioneer Reunion Come in Flood

Although the great and unique Pi oneers' reunion which was held here on Tuesday and Wednesday under the direction and auspices of The Republican has become a memory, the flood of felicitations on its suc- cess which started Wednesday eve ming continued throughout yesterday without abatement
 This commenoation did not come only by word of mouth, but by letter, and it was heard not only on the street, but brought in person to the offices of The Republican, The comment of appreciation raE all the way from congratulations on the num- Der of pioneers who were attracted to the reunion to the manner in which they were treated during their visit to Phoenix and the care that was ex- ercised in seeing that each of them had his full share of care and at tention. Men and women have joined in giving praise and thanks to this newspaper, and the citizen whose only share was the fillip given to his civic pride by the success of the gathering united with the pioneer himself in telling those connected with The Re publican how well the plan of the reunion had been conceived and car ried out.
 The same praise has come to the special edition which had been pre- pared for the reunion. More thar 5000 extra copies of the edition have been printed and sold and the de mand for it still continues. The in terest in the edition comes not only from the pioneers. but from the citi gems of Phoenix who see in it an ad mirable method of giving their friends 1 back east "a true picture of the TO | nance of the west-of that real wes which has made Arizona the them of the novelist and story-telle fo nearly half a century.

DESTRUCTION OF HELIGOLAND TO
 BE ENDED SOON
Next April should See the Com- plcte Reduction Of Famous
 German Fortress

London, Nov. 25.-The great Ger man fortress of Eeigoland proba- bly, will be completly demolished by next April. Its demolition has been in progress for two years under the supervision of an interaIHed com mission headed by Admiral Sir Ed ward Charlton, who is said to be satisfied that the island fortress can never again be a menace to the aI- lies.
 When the work Of destruction Is completed. it will be inspected by the commission and then the island is 10 be handed back Co Germany. un- der the provisions Of the peace trca- ty.
 The commission has taFr noLh- ing for granted but naval officers have watched the great guns cut in to pieces and have demanded that the scrap metal be produced when the Germans reported that they had destroyed the cartridges. cascs. fuses etc. Besides, they have personally watched the burning of vast stores of explosives. IL is understood that Admiral Charlton IS satisfied that very little in the war of warlikc stores can have been concealed by the Germans.
 The gun emplacemen's and har- bor works have been destroyed and batteries Of howitzers and aircraft guns demolished
 To make certain the HeligoIend can not again be utilized as a site upon which to build a harhor for warships. the commission has placed blocks of stone and concrete abou: the bed of the harbor so that dredE- ing will not be possible. Eventually it is believed the harbor will be te- strOYed by the sea.
