The gun. which is of the How tiger type, weighs seven and one half tons and shows the wear and tear of four years on the firing line for the central Powers, on the tip Of the muzzle, which is only about five feet long. is a mark from an allied shell, which evidently put it out of con- mission and in a most advantageous position to be captured.
 Commander Nathan Avery, of the legion, inspected the gun this morn ing and at once notified the park board. The charge for the trans portation of the gun from Aberdeen, Md, is s6S.SS, Commander Avery told the mem bers of the club. The l.egionnaires will paint the gun after
 il is placed in Walnut Hill park, Eddy-Glover post will plan a cerc- mony when the gun is presented to the city, at which time, il is expected that Robert Conroy vii have some data for a plaque, telling the history of the capture.
