PERSHNGREAHES GOTH MILESTONE “Back Jac” Calsbeats Bith- day in Washinglon Today Washington, Sept. 13 UM — Gen- eral John J. Pershing today cele- brated the 6sth milestone of a life rich in adventure and accomplish- ment, crowned by leadership of the battalions that fought in America’s war. Now fully retired after a long and truittul. service in the army, the man who, with Washington and a fow others rose to the high dis- tinction of a full-rank general found on this birthday echoes of the acclaim which a grateful werld be- stows upon those it reveres. At the war department where General: Pershing has a handsome office, although he is no longer ac- tively - connected with that branch of the government, time was set aside today so that the general might .receive the four latest for- eign decorations which admiring nations have conferred upon him. Must Comsent Congress, which must conaent before Americans may receive such decorations, acted favorably last winter, but Secretary Davis of the war department postponed the pre- sentation so that it might take place today. The decorations were those con- ferred by the president of Cszecho- slovakis in 1926 and by the presi- dent of Peru, the president of Po- land and the president of Venezuela in 1925. Nearby, in fact in the same building which was the setting for further honoring this American warrior, another department of the government waa pursuing efforts by which the world might be brought into universal peace and in this ef- tort, General Pershing lent as full support as he did to bringing vic- tory at arma just ten years ago. For him to indorse the Kellogg- Briand peace treaty seemed to roll back the years for his friends to that day in Paris 11 years ago when he exclaimed: “There must be no peace except a lasting peace.” Remembered 10 Years Ago For a man who has lived such a full life General Pershing has, the changes that can come within a brief period mnay be accepted with total unconcern, but his friends found it difficult today to reconcile the serenity of his GSth birthday with the tumult surrounding the anniversary ten ycars ago. The gre 8t. Mihiel drive had just come to a close. President Wilson had cabled the words symbolizing the atitude of the American people. He was ‘a soldier with the whole ‘world speaking his name. Then. came the ensuing days of swift victory for the allied forces and ultimately the triumphal en- trances into Paris, Brumels, Rome, London, New York and Washington. There were official honors from dozens of governments and from the French an honor given no other foreign general—the privi- lege of riding under the Arche De Triomphe. Since Americans have established almost a custom of bestowing the presidency upon its greatest war- riors, it was to be expected that General Pershing should be spoken of in that connection in the cam- paign which followed the conclusion of the war. But unlike Jackson, Zachary Taylor, Grant, Harrison and Roosevelt, the soldier this time stopped all moves in his favor. Alded by Presidents Two presidents helped to lift Pershing above all other American |, soldiers and put him in a rank with the great generals of history. Roosevelt made him a brigadier general direct from a captain after he had subdued the Moros in the Philippines. Wilson placed him in command of the expeditionary forces and made him a full general, which rank congress later made perma- ent. When the World war came Per- shing already had established a rec- ord for himself. He had fought in the frontler campaigns, in the SpanishAmerican war with Roose- velt's Rough Riders at El Caney and 8an Juan, with General Nelson Miles in the expedition against Chief Geronimo and his Apache braves and had gone thrgugh four years of jungle fighting in the Phil- ippines. Alter the World war he was called to work out his ideas of national defense by becoming chief of the army staff and later to attempt to bring uboug peace between Chile and Peru which were in trouble over the Taena-Arica boundary dis- pute. Born in Missouri General Pershing's birth 68 years ago today was at Meadville, Mo. Of his ancestry a biographer says: “He was the son of John Fletcher Pershing and Elizabeth Thompson, PILES DISAPPEARED RABALM ENDED NY SUFFERING “About twenty-Aive years ago I had & sucommfl operation for piles and have never besn troubled sines until about & moath ago when they e2me ea agaia. 11y caly thought was an eperation, but under the cireumstances this was impomsible owing to the experss.

By colnci- dence, the man who led a great American army, which brought Al- sace und lorraine back under the French flag, was a descendant of an Atlsatian, Frederick Pfoerschin, who emigrated to America, where the name became Pershing.” LUNCH GART SITE OPPONENTS JNYED Find No Remedy in Zone Cbange Asked by Council Franklin square property owners and church representatives who went to a meeting of the board of adjust- ment last night to urge a zomne change which they hopad would pre- vent a lunch cart from being placed in their district, found the change as requested by the common council which approved the petition recent- ly. would not accomplish that end. The mayor's office was crowded when the petition was rcad. Besides the interested parties, Councilmen Roger W. Whitman and Adam Zieg- ler were present. Judge J. E. Coop- er, chairman of the board, gave the gathering the first knowledge of the error when he advised that lunch carts are allowed in residence C dis- tricta, which is the type of zone the petitioners asked to have established in the locality of Pearl street and Franklin square, site of the pro- posed business. It is now zoned for industrial uses and permits of res- taurants. Accompanying the petition to the board was a communication signed by many church goers and property owners asking that lunch carts be prohibited to keep Franklin square "a decent and peaceful place to re- side at.” Judge Cooper expressed willing- ness to proceed with the hearing if it the w of those present, and he also explained that restaurants cannot be prohibited in zones other than residence A or B. At his sug- gestion, the interested parties re- tired to another room to discuss what steps would be taken and when they returned they asked that the case go over to the next meeting. In the meantime, they will petition the common council for a change to residence B. ‘Wonld FEnlarge Factory P. Alfred Johnson, a member of the board sof public works, led op- position to the application of the Acorn Bearing Co. that it be per- mitted to enlarge a factory building now standing in the residential dis- trict on Mill strect. After a hearing, the matter was laid over for action at the next meeting. The Acorn company has main- tained a business on Mill street for the past five years, using a struc- ture which was formerly a garage. Architect Fred Teich explained that the proposed new building would improve a condition which is now an “eye-sore.” He submitted a sketch of the proposed new building. The argument was made that NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1928. some of the remonstrants were in business on the street now and claim was made that Commission- er Johnson's trucks, which are kept in that street, are more injurious to the property than a properly con- structed and maintained factory would be. Commissioner Johnson and oth- ers said they have erected fine resi- dences on Mill street with the un- drstanding that the zone law would protect them from factories. They argued their right to have contin. ued protection. Apply for Zone Changes The application of Gennaro Pal- mieri for a change of zone on East street, from business A to business B, was laid over to the next meet. ing at the request of Judge F. B. Hungerford. Leon Gorski's request for an ex- tension of a non-conforming busi- ness use on Sexton atreet was laid over at the request of his counsel. STORES WILI. GLOSE DURING DEDICATION Opposition fo Movement Re- ported to Have Died Down Opposition to the closing of the stores for four hours on the after- noon of September 22, when the monument dedication parade and ex- ercises will be under way, practically died out yesterday afternoon when those opposed to the plan held fur- ther discussion. The recommendation, made by the directors of the Mercantile Bureau of the Chamber of Commerce, that stores close between the hours of 2 and 6 on that afternoon, was mailed to all the stores in the city yesterday. The discussion on Main strect and intersecting business streets ranged all the way from the men who were not going to close at all, to those who advocated closing all day. Among these who were not sure they would accept the recommenda- tion, or that their firms would per- mit thelr accepting it, were the man. agers of some of the city's chain stores. An unofficial conference was held among those opposed and it was decided to adopt the recommenda- tion, when it was pointed out that the resentment on the part of the | public was apt to be bitter against | those who stayed open. The suggestion of closing all day was considercd as one which would ! defeat its own purpose, and as a re- sult the agreement to close from 2 until 6 has been reached.

C., Sept. 13.— Spalato, appearing in headlines and date lines as the scene of recent riot- ing. is a name that will not be found on a map made in Yugoslavia. “Like many other places in what was formerly Austria-Hungary, the city, since the post-war Austro- Hungarian divorce, has reverted to its maiden name, the Yugoslavian form. ‘Split,’ " says a bulletin from the Washington, D. C. headquarters of the National Geographic society. “History supports the ltalian name, ‘Spalato,’ because of the long period during which the eity was un- der Venetian control; but the char- acter of the population makes ‘Split’ fitting, for more than 90 per cent of the population is Yugoslav. Built by Diocletian “Split is often referred to as ‘a city in a palace.’ The phrase is true enough n part, for nearly ten per cent of Split's inhabitants live inside the walls of the old palace of Em- peror Diocletian. and for a long time the palace was the city. “Diocletian built the huge palace about 303 A. D. and moved there in 305 when he abdicated as emperor. It inclosed nine and a half acres of great rooms, long corridors, and courtyards. Diocletian lived only nine years after he entered his sumptuos residence. ‘The palace was built several miles 'rrum the great city of Salona where the emperor's father had been a slave, Salona was destroyed in 639 by barbarians from the north, and | the survivors took up their resi- dences in the palace. This was the birth of Spalato then called ‘Aspalathon.’ Courtyards became Bquares, some corridors were made into streets, and other corridors and great room were divided into small houses and apartments. Tene- ments were built one above the other against the outer walls, some reach- ing eight and nine stories. City Bulges Over Walls “It was only after centuries that ‘the city within a palace’ spilt over, and began to develop outside the old palace walls. This newer develop- ment is New Town or Novi Grad as distinguished from the Stari Grad inside the walls. “The Stari Grad is still the maze of dark, narrow, crooked wa «nd tiny tenements and shops that it be- came soon after the surviving Salon- ians crept into its walls. This is the slum section of Spilt, this ‘city with- in a palace,’ a far cry from the al- most eastern splendor that reigned within those same walls during the ! brief life there of their builder. In front of many of the ghops hang quaint, symbolical signs, a huge shoe for the cobbler, a basin for a bar- ber's shop, and so on. '0 the visitor, the most interest- ing place inside the old palace is the former mausoleum of Diocletian which for centuries now has been the Christian cathedral of the city All about the dark little structure are symbols of paganism and secular activitice. One of the cathedral's ornaments is a great black sphinx with its tracery of hieroglyphics, upposedly brought by the emperor from Egypt to stand guard over his last resting place. Ol Venetian Palaces *“The Novi Grad is a city of parks and squares and reasonably wide, well ordered streets, faced by rela- tively modern structures. Among the buildings are numerous oid Venetian palaces built during the long regime of Venice from 1420 to 1 odern Split, with its good quays and moie, 18 commercially the lead- ing port of the eastern shore of the | Adriatic.
