"The magnificent reception accorded
to Captain Lindbergh by the govern-
ment and people of France has gone
straight to the hearts of the American
people. It is a stirring proof that the
unity of purpose forged upon the field
of bsttle by our forefathers and by the
men of our time remain, steadfast and
strong, a consecration of the past end
a dedication to the future."

Davis expressing the "unalterable fra-
ternity uniting the armies of France and
the United States.”
"In these reunions on Memorial day,”
Ambassador Herrick said at Surosnes,
"our thoughts inevitably turn from the
harrowing sacrifice, of these young
lives to the terrible problem of war in
general -its causes, its possible recur-
rence and likelihood of curbing it.
"If the enthusiasm over the prospect
of enforcing pesce which prevailed 10
years ago has somewhat diminished, the
determination to get at the bottom of
the question ha, not, and the investiga-
tion goes on in the noble spirit, as evi-
denced by M. Briand's peace proposal of
April 6 to outlaw war."
The ambassador emphasized the dan-
ger of the bolshevist spirit which, he
i said, "bids fsir to be as disastrous as
when the "Spirit of St. Louis" touched
earth. It was immediately surrounded.
"For God’s sake look out for my ma-
chine" were the words of Lindbergh be-
fora he hopped out of the plane. The
excited Bobbies tried in vain to keep
back the exeited throngs, but they
pressed even closer.
The plane did not escape damage, but
British airmen, after examining it, told
the visiting flier it would be very ensy
to make the slight repairs necessary.

today declared that the ruling power:
of Soviet Ruaaia were engaged in paid
propaganda throughout the world ane
that the United States would not toler-
ate the spread of bolshevism to ita
shores.
Declaring that modern science meth-
ods were being applied to the scourge
of wnr, the ambassador said that these
modern scientific methods sre kgw
"somewhat belatedly, being actively ap-
plied to the scourge of bolshevism."
"I belikve," he continued, "that the
people in every country have to choose
between order and anarchy, between
honesty and thievery, between every day
virtue and crime. Either we believe in
orderly society, or we don't; if we do
we ought to use sll the power within us
to defend and advance it. The impudent,
mischievous interference of paid, organ
lied propaganda throughout the world
has gone steadily on and, in common
with others, I have been forced by theso
events, to view with incressing appre-
hension this sinister movement.
Warns Against Peril
“As we stend here beside the graves
of men who gsvs up their lives in one
of the grsst wars of liberation, we may
well ask ourselves what is going to pro-
tect us from this encroaching peril,
which bids fair to be as disastrous as

ister of foreign affairs Secretary of '
State Kellogg's personal sense of grstl- 1
fication at the “spontaneous and sin-
cere msnifestation of friendship so gen- ,
erously shown by the French nation."
"In honoring Captain Lindbergh,” Sec-
retary Kellogg raid. “France haa done
honor to her noble traditions and the
people of America have been deeply
moved, indeed.”
Belgium Grateful
"On this 30th dsy of May. Belgium,
forever grateful, will decorate with
flowers ths graves of the American he- ‘
roes who fell in the defense of the

"Upon that day, held sacred .to their

sion of our gratitude together with our
wishes of prosperity and the assurances
of our unalterable friendship.”

AUSTIN, May 30 — Representative
Knuth's bill giving political parties the
implied right to prohibit negro voting
in primary elections was engrossed by
the house todsy after a defeated attempt
to have it rewritten to meet objections
of those claiming it would confer mon-
archial power upon party executive com-
mittee men.
The measure would leave to parties
the right, assumed by the state in the
white primary law declared unconstitu-
tional by the United States supreme
court to bsr negro voting by indirectly
impowering parties to prescribe their
own membership qualifications.
Representative Sanders, attacking the
measure as an effort to evade the au«
preme court rating, declared It “more
dangerous than the old Inw, because this
would give 30 men the right to bar a
bald-headed man from voting if they
wantd te.”
Disagreeing with the entire purpose
of the bill Sanders declared both It and
the old law contrary to the “principle
of equal rights to all and special priv-
ilege* to none.”
