ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES VOLUME XXVII France Pays Honors to “Slim” Lindbergh, Who Sailed Over Sea Alone France Today Gathered In trepid Flier to Its Heart and Lavished High Hon ors Upon Him. IS RECEIVED ~ BY PRESIDENT Gets Cross of Legion of Honor and Aero Club Presented Gold Medal to Him This Afternoon. Paris, May 23.—04*)—France today gathered •'Slim'' Lindbergh to its heart. The young American pilot who traced n glorious nro through the skies from New York to Paris to the ap plause i of the entire civilised world.- was received at the palace of the Ely see by the President of France, and there decorated in the name of the republic, with the cross of the Legion of Honor. Lindbergh' was still dressed in ill fitting borrowed clothes because tail ors and shirt markers are still busy supplying (lie wardrobe which lie left behind hi favor of more fuel for his beloved plane, but the President of France pinned the cross on his breast as though he were arrayed in splendor and then swept him in his arms and kissed him on both cheeks in the tra ditional manner. Slim .was moved, even more so when the President pre sented through him the compliments of himself and all France, to the flyer's mother back in Detroit! It wan a day of glory for the modest American boy. The Aero Club of France arranged to confer its great gold medal on him late this afternoon. Premier Poincare was to receive him immediately afterward. He was vot ed an ‘‘honorary alumnus" of the high est institution of learning in France, the Superior Normal School. Crowds gathered at the American embassy, his temporary home, and at every other point where he might possibly appear. Ambassadors and other notables called to see him, and message** con tinue*! to pour in from all parts of the globe. So many telegralns and cable messages have been received that _ they.-bate not att beett classified, ftnji bushels of letters remained to be op ened. A lineup of motion picture repre sentatives and theatrical promoters has been waiting outside the embassy in an endeavor to get to him, all talk ing in large sums. Figures compiled at the Aero Club show that Lindbergh not only is the first man to make an uninterrupted flight between New York and Paris, but that he holds the long distance non-stop record, the journey having covered 3,647 miles. Copies of the of ficial pnpers were handed to the flyer today. Lindbergh's first thought this morn ing was of the “old bus" that carried him to fame across the Atlantic. Im mediately after breakfast at the Amer ican embassy he jumped into a car and went to Bourgt to look the plane over and see what the crowd had left. He stayed at the field only a few minutes, hurrying back to the em bassy to dress for the official recep tion of President Doumergue, sched uled for noon. At 5 p. in. he is to attend a recep tion at the Aero Club of France, at which the gold medal of that organisa tion will be pinned to his breast. /At the air field the commandant personally escorted Lindbergh to a hangar where his plane bad been housed over Sunday. "It's in good shape, not nearly so badly banged about as I thought it would be," the aviator said after look ing it over. One of the notables calling at the embassy was the Norwegian minister in Paris, Haron Wedel Jarleeberg, who told Ambassador Herriek “as the rep resentative of Norway, the country of Nansen, Amupdsen and Gran, who in 1014 alone and as young as your com patriot, flew across the North Sea from Scotland to Norway for the first time, 1 have com to tender you Nor way’s heartfelt admiration for Lind bergh and hia historic feat.” Not only lias the common people of France taken Lindbergh to their hearts, but the intellectuals are pay ing him tribute as well. Le Journal today prints a poem dedicated to him by the celebrated Maurice Rostand, written on the flying field at Le Hourget a half hour after completion of the exploit. It is based on Alan Seeger’s “I Have a Rendezvous With Death,” find con cludes after referring to the American war dead, with the lines: "What brought you here, predestined one “Through risks where others failed? “It was a rendezvous they gave you “At their fresh graves.” Would Give Him Highest American Medal.

May 23. —CP)—A million dollnr pot of gold at the end of his 3.800 miles rainbow today awaited Captain Charles A. Lindbergh. While woYldwide acclaim continued to mark the achievement of the youth ful New York-Parts airman, there came offefs which would enable him to get back his .$2,000 investment in the flight mnny times over. Within twenty-four hours after end ing his flight, the 25-year-old flyer received definite offers of $735,000 in movie and commercial contracts. A fortune of more than $1,000,000 would be within his grasp should he be willing and able to fftlfill an efab orate array of motion picture, vaude ville and advertising contracts. But what the young captain will do is not known. Os the $20,000 which the flight cost, Lindbergh contributed his own savings of $2,000. St. Louis business men made up the balance. He is free to do what he chooses about the flattering proposals, Harry Knight and other sponsors of the flight said in St. Louis. LINDBERGH MAY TRY * HOP TO AUSTRALIA Flitr Planned 6511 Miles Trip In Two Jumps. St. Louis, May 23.—Ambitions more audacious than the New York to .Paris flight, are cherished by ('apt. Charles A. Lindbergh, who has planned to be the first man to fly from the United States to Aus tralia. it was said here today by Harry A. Knight, one of the bucket* of the youthful air mail pilot. First however, Lindbergh planned to re turn here and attempt to break (lie endurance record. Knight said. While Lindbergh awaited the .«WHißr^rTiiri>ttTtr“ 81. Louis, and the start of the Bel lancn monoplane Columbin seemed but ft thlitter of days, lip told his friends he would try the Australian flight if the Columbia reached Paris before he was ready. Tsie Australian flight. Knight pointed out. would carry the flier over more than 6,511 mi'es. He would cross the equator and 6y over many groups of the South Sen Islands if the project wera attempted. As Lindbergh planned it, the flight across the broadest of waters, the Pacific Ocean, would be made in two bops. The first from the United States to the Hawaiian Island, and the second front Honolulu to the western roast of Australia, slightly above Sydney. Ever since he got his first tas(*> of flying at. Lincoln, Neb., “slim” as | the flier is called, has wanted to [ break the endurance record for sus tained flight, Knight said. He plnn [ lied to better the record of Chamber jlin and Bert Acosta, who flew over New York City for more than fifty one consecutive hours.

Pleasant Sunday by Min ister of Washington. LIFE’S POWER IS DESCRIBED I Speaker Said Jesug Came to World so People Might Have Life and Have It More Abundantly. (Staff Correspondent) Mt. Pleasant. May 23.—Declaring. that life is amazingly cheap at the present time and that the bandits hold it cheap as do those who are commit ting suicide in such large numbers. Dr. John T. Huddle, pastor of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church. Washington. D. C.. delivered the baccalaureate sermon be fore the graduating clnsses of Mount Pleasant Collegiate Institute and Mont Amoena Seminary Sunday morn ing nt Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, and spoke on “Life” ns being one of the most valuable things in the world. The sermon of Dr. Huddle was one of the most powerful ever heard at a commencement program of the two institutions. It was full of truths which the young men nnd women would do well to take with them out into life. Dr. Huddle reached ora torical heights gripping the attention of his hearers throughout his dis course. “One definition that we eould give of life is that it puts ‘go’ into things. That is true of the human body with the lungs, heart, eyes, tongue and hands and feet. As long as we have life the members of the body can go,” he said. “Life is very elusive. We can't grasp it and when the heart stops life is over. Life also puts ‘go’ into the mind. Ambition and faith are forms of life. Love is also a form of life and it is love that makes a mother care for her child ns she does; it is love .which drives a sol dier into battle; and it is love which takes a missionary into the heart of the jungles, with the story of Christ.” Using as a text the words of Christ fftarfiT In The hrtt partof'-riie tenth verse of the tenth chapter of the gos pel according to John, “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” Dr. Huddle said that he used the text because the students before him were going out into life and would face duties and responsibilities of real life, and because of the fact that life was held so cheaply today. The minister told of the large in crease in suicides within the last Jew years and especially among the college men and women of today. He stated that it was not the ignorant man that was eommitting suicide but the well educated man from the better families of the country. “The World War had something to do with this cheap ening of human life but the real cause' is that men have lost connection with Him who is the source of life. Their ideals are lowered and they have lost sight of. and connection with. Him “in whom we live and have our be ing.' ” Dr. Huddle stated. The speaker asked the question of how were we to enhance the value of the human life and then said “Scienee says that ‘life is perfect correspond ence with perfect environment.’ Sci ence has done much in improving en vironment, has done much in adapt ing man to his environment, has done much for our health; education has done much for intellectual develop ment, nnd wealth hns done much to improve our physical well being, but there is a limit to what science, edu cation and wealth can do.” “Friends,” said Dr. Huddle, “when we want real life, thrilling life, all day long, every day of the year, we must go to Him who said: ‘I came that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.’ "Christ will give you life,” the min ister said. “He will give you a long life. A life of three score years and ten if you keep the rules of life as found in the Book. He gives a strong physical life and Christians are do ing much to give themselves strong physical lives. He gives n strong in tellectual life and people are doing much to the development of a strong intellectual race,” Dr. Huddle said, and then told of the difference of wis dom and knowledge. He said that knowledge comes from books and that wisdom comes from above and from ex perience. “The older person lias more wisdom than the young even though the young one has had more from books,” he said. “And finally Christ gives a strong moral and spiritual life. Christ's dis ciples were cowards for a time but with the outpouring of the Holy Spirit they became men with courage, men with faith and men with love. Let that kind of life be your goal, young people. I want to commend you to Him who said ‘I am come that they might have life and that they ipight have it more abundantaly.’ Take Him as your companion and friend. Lite will then be worth living Hnd after you live a long life others will rise up and call you blessed,” declared Dr. Huddle. ; Dr. H. A. St ire wait, -of- China Grove, was organist for the ‘service. He rendered “Oouvinir" bjr Drdla, as an organ prelude. The choir "sang “They.
