Lindbergh. "tho new ambassador of America" was Introduced to the : French pfiambnr of dppvtten <oday .by Myron Herrlck, Mho tcmporar ily retiring ambassador." Tho American aviator received a tre ! mentions ovation from tho crowd , ed chamber. I Tho reception wan the moat Im i presslve formal function thus far I of the American airman's triumph al may in Paris. Fernard Roua jaon. president of the chamber of deputies, at whose side atoorl vlce presldcnta. Pale and IjaKonlf.-_ , greeted 'the hlrdman officially, while below tho dais atood General ' Ciroud. prealdent of the aviation group. Deputy Colonel I'lcot. head of the group of war mutilated ; almoat tho entire membership of [the chamber. "All of iih acclaim." M. Ilousaln told him. "and all of us pay trl i bute to the Illustrious aviator 1 first to cross the Atlantic, whone valor Is equalled only by his raod I esty." | Tho trans-AtlantIc flight. "M. [ Iloulsson continued, aroused ? the ' greaiost enthusiasm of all France, j "If you had fliown over the de partments. over our cities and our villages, your welcome would have been the samo aH here." Ambassador llerrlck. speaking for Captain Lindbergh, expressed j tho aviator's thanks for tho royal : welcome accorded him. | Then Captain Lindbergh him*/ . self pillMMl lll.n he WUH JUAt II facile an orator as his host and Id one of his customary brief ad dresses endeared himself to every ono of tho deputies who crowded the president's salon to welcome him. "When Franklin came over here 1 nn years ago." tho-aviator said. "Homebody asked bi#> what good Is a trial balloon?' his reply was. 'what good Is a new born baby?* When Mlerlot crossed the channel in 1909 people asked 'what good did It do to crows the channel?* in tho same way people today are | ssking ' wluii gimd Haw II doho 10 |cross the Atlantic?' I hope it will 1 produce the greatest good, not on ly for tho great spirit of friend whip between the two countriea, but also In future actual and reg ular communications across the Atlantic by air." Captain Lindbergh's words had to be translated for his listeners, ' but they were greeted with rounds land rounds of applause as the dlg ; n If led legislators pressed forward 'to nhako his hand and assure him of their admiration Once more the American air man then touched lips to the tra ditional clmmpalgiie, "wine oC honor" while he was toasted en thusiast Ically. Outside a huge .crowd again gathered and cheered ! him as he left the Palais liourbou In Ambassador Merrick's automo bile en route t'? tho American Km bassy. America's aviator-envoy. Cap tain Charles A. Liudhcrgh, has won universal admiration and ] aroused unparulled enthUHlasm, ! but i?y iiii modesty and tact* dls < played In the face of unprecedent ed attentions, he has won even (greater honoi the respect of all classes of Frenchmen. ' It was commented tfn every j where today that never for one moment had tho young American. 1 who bounded so suddenly from i comparative obscurity to world fame, lost bin head or proved un Iequal to a situation In which he j found himself thrust without pre paration. Me has been called up on to act In circumstances which j would have proved difficult for a | ruler or Masoned diplomat trained : in the usages of public life, and I never once had he made a mistake. J Me accepts compliments with the jsamc manly dignity as ho listens to what to him must be silly ques tions. he replies to all alike with Untiring patience and ready good i nature. Another honor?and there are i many to come awaited the filer today, the honorary diploma of the Higher Normal School, one of jthe greatest Institutions of higher ,education In the world. Its class lists are simply a roll of honor of all that Is greatest In the French ; literary, sclent If Ic, and political i worlds of the past century. The directors of the school feel that i never was a diploma, although at honorary one, ever belter earned than by Lindbergh's "thesis in the conquest of the AMsnilc." Ksrly to bed. early to rise.
