20 veterans of the Thirtieth Division
at their reunion here today. 1t was
this wish that the hosts tried to carry
out for the general.
While at the Hermitage, former
home of Andrew Jackson, this after
noon, General Pcrshing was present
cd with a hickory walking cane made
from tree planted by Former Presi-
dent Jackson. The general returned
the gift to the ladies' Hermitage as
sociation by planting hickory tree
near the tomb of cold Hickory"
The general seemed to find every
thing to his liking. Among those
whom he greeted today were ne
gro vocational student at the Ten
nessee A. g. l. Normal school, who
lost his sight while serving in France
and another student whom "Black
Jack" had cited for bravery.
Commends Legion
Besides his emphatic denial of Sen
ator aWtson's charges that American
soldiers in France were hanged with
! out courtmartial or trial, a fervent
commendation of the American LIE.
; gion was issued by the general.
"Thc LEGION" he said "has gain
ed a reputation abroad for its patri-
otism and at home for its patriotism
conservatism and superior judgement
in dealing with problems political
economic and social--now confronting
the United States government"
He paid high tribute also to the
Thirtieth Division, recounting its work
in helping penetrate the Hindenburg
line.
While rcveiewing the parade in the
afternoon, General Pershing acted his
part of "buddie and not commander"
Usually he was laughing, applauding,
cheering. The jovial attitude was
abandoned only when disabled veter-
ans, gold star mother, and Red
Cross float passed.
Entertained at Banquet
Tonight General pershing was en-
tertaned at banquet given by tho
Nashville chamber of commerce. He
left soon thereafter for Washington.
The program for tomorrow includes
election of officers, selection Of re-
union meeting place for next year,
choice Of delegates to the American
Legion convention in New Orleans in

the Old Hickory association.

KNOTTY PROBLEM
 UP TO COMMISSION

Little Rock, Nov. 26.-The Railroad Commission has had many serious problems to settle, but the most seri- out of all was submitt"d in letter re- ceived yesterday, from Somewhere in Arkasas. With the words correctly spelled the letter follows:
 'To the Interstate of Commerce: l dug down B feet, then drilled a hole in the wall, then the water came grad ually until it run out at the top and run out for three years. There was a black substance on the water. It looked like it was floating on the water. It run down through the cot ton patch and made black streak on the ground and stayed there for three years and could smell it forty yards. Gentlemen, please give me some satis- faction"
 The commissioners were all out of town yesterday engaged in some minor duty, such as regulating freight traf- fic or building depots, and as soon as they return the problem will be sub mitted to them by Secretary Combs for their consideration. It is not known whether there are statutes to take care of the situation, but if on in vestigation it is found necessary, the matter will be submitted to the legisla- ture for relief.

ALLIES REDUCE VAST
 FORT AT HELIGOLAND
(By the Asaoeiat.d Prr.a,

London, Nov. 26.-The great Ger man fortress of Heligoland probably vii be completely demolished by next April. Its demolition has been in pro- gress for two years under the super vision of an interallied commission headed by Admiral Sir Edwards Charlton, who is said to be satisfied that the island fortress can never again be menace to the allies.
 When the work of destruction is complete, it will be inspected by the commission and then the island is to be handed back to Germany, under the provisions of Peace Treaty.
 The commission have take nothing for granted, for naval officers have the great guns cut into peaces and have demanded that the scrap metal be produced when the Germans reported that they had destroyed cartridges, cases, fumes, etc. Besides, they have personally watched the burning of vast stores of explosives.
 It is understood that Admiral Charlton is satisfied that very little in the way of warlike stores can have been concealed by the Germans.
 To make certain that Hehgoland can not again be utilized as as site upon which to build harbor for war ships, the commission has placed blocks of stone and concrete about the harbor so that dredging will not be possible. Eventually it is believed the harbor will be destroyed by the sea.

A PRIVATE ZOO.

Minneapolis, MINI, Sept. 21.-
Unique among geological collections is
that known as Longfellow Gardens
near Minnehaha Falls, just outside Of
Minneapolis.
Most geological gardens in all parts
of the world are government institu-
tions, provided ostensibly for the edu-
cation Of the populace, and kept by
persons who hold their places by politi-
cal preferment This zoo is the work
of private Individual who has collect
ed wild animals from all parts of the
world because he loves animals. start
ing with little capital. What is more,
animals realize and even return this
love. Creatures as diverse as seals
and pelicans, tigers and bears, respond
to the sound of his voice and show
pleasure in the touch of his hand.
Zoos in general are places where
animals look supremely happy and
often unhealthy to boot. There is a
considerable tendency of late to make
fun of them and criticize them as
survivals Of a more barbarous age. The
custom Of keeping wild animals in
captivity certainly goes back to bar
barous times. 1t was the successful

The Modern Zoo.
Nowadays the zoo is generally about
what it was then, but it's ostensible
purpose has been changed to suit the
times. 1t is now justified as an edu-
cational undertaking for the benefit of
the children. This educational purpose
has been a good deal laughed at. One
satrlst asks what education there is for
amours Of a hippopotamus or in OBJ
serving the technique employed by a
chmpanzee to rid himself of fleas. The
habits Of animals are the things best
worth studying. and their habits are
hopelesly cramped and distorted in
cages.
A modern anthropologist contends
that in spite of the educational pre-
tense the motive back Of the zoo to
day is the same one that impelled til,
barbaric conqueror to cause strange
creatures to be brought from all parts
of the World--the desire to assert
power over creatures of a lower order
It flatters the vanity Of the average
citizen to look through the bars at
some fierce creature from far-away
Africa and reflect that he is a part Of
a governme nt which is powerful enough
to catch and conf;ne this animal for
his pleasure. CondescendingIy, he of

Clemency From Moose
Final Hereafter, Aim
State Pardon Board

Special to The Tribune.
Helena, Sept. 26.-Clemency from
the moose to life Imprisonment here
after is to be final, not preliminary
step toward tbs subsequent parole of
lifetakers from the penitentiary, if the
precedent set by the state pardon board
in committing the death penalty Of The
odore Chronopoulos and Stephen
Byrne is followed in subsequent boards.
As proposed by Governor Dixon, the
Attorney General Wellington added the
qualifying feature, which is to be the
rule hereafter, as well as in the case
to which this originally applied-"that
the recommendation for Communication
from hanging to life Imprisonment is
confirmed with the understanding that
life Imprisonment in these cases means
what it says-life Imprisonment"
