Arrival of Lone Ktrlc Wm Aatiowlx Awaited by President and Others j Mexico Qty, Doc. li.?"Lindy" bar <lone it again?ho and the other hall of the famous "we." Without a atop Col. Charles A. Undbergh, piloting the Spirit of St. Louis, which earlier in the year had carried him to Paris, flow from Washington to Mexico City. For more than twenty*sevon hours he was at the controls. Perhaps there never has been witnessed such a delirious demonstration of Joy by a Mexican multitude as that at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon, when' after some three hours of apprehension that misfortune had befallen the flier, the Spirit of St. Louis settled on the Valbuenu military aviation field, two and a half miles from Mexico City. Lindy and his plane were safe and sound: nothing was wrong except that miscalculation of direction carried the plane in a great circle from Tampico into the interior, instead of in a direct line to Mexico aty. The "Lone Kagle" not only flew over Mexico's mountains and deserts in this first don-stop flight between the two capitals, but he flew straight into the hearts of the Mexican people?hearts already long attuned in devotion to him by exploits of which they had read hearts torn with fears for hours for his safety. And then, against the purple mountain ranges in the distance appeared a little white speck. At least 60,000"?some sav 100,000? persons at Valbuena field, and as many moro lining the city streets awaiting the coming of the airmqn, began to whisper: "Can it be Lindy ? Can it be?" They were afraid to cheer; they were almost afraid to hope. Their nerves had been on edge as time and again false reports were spread that the plane * had been sighted near at hand. At last gloom haa conquered the crowd. Silently and somberly the great masses stood dejectedly, trying to hope and finding it hard. Then came that white blot against the purple ranges that Cortex and his Spanish adventurers mastered four centuries ago to conquer an empire and, open % new world. A new ^onquoror wj}* crossing those formidable purple ranges, where the great snow-tipped v61egno of Popocatepetl towered against the azure y<ky?a new kind of adventurer?a messenger of good will, a cavalier of t^he air doing deeds beyond the wildest dreams of those ancient knights whom Cortex led. "Can it be Lindy?" the multitude murmured. Then while the escort of Mexican army airplanes performed circus stunts overhead, there began to circle the field u graceful creature of the air, coming closer and closer. A roar that might have rocked those mighty distant mountains swept the throng?"Thank God?it's Lindy. Viva Lindy! Viva Lindy! they cried. 0 No person in all that vast assemblage had been more disturbed over Colonel Lindbergh's delay, more apprehensive or more excitedly overjoyed at. his safe arrival that President Calles himself. Th$ president, with the American ambassador, Dwight \V. Morrow, beside him had been sitting since early morning awaiting Lindy. As noon passed, and one report after another had proved false, the president plainly showed perturbation. He asked the Associated Press to assist him in getting information as to Colonel Lindbergh's authentic location and ordered the government telegraph s e r v ices throughout the nation to make ever\ effort to ascertain what had happened. Refreshments were brought into the presidential stand. Calles refused. He smoked cigarets incessantly, lighting one aftpr another a certain manifestation that the president of Mexico was worried. His usually stern face became more set, more careworn; it seemed to be more deeply lined. He tapped nervously on the floor with his walking stick. And then, as the people strained themselves tensely on tip toes and craning their necks, an aide whispered to the president: "It is Lindbergh?it is positively Lindbergh this time." Callea leaped to hi* feet im if tonVulsed by an tdectrlc .shock. -He gave one searching, piercing glance into that aide'a lace. One felt it would have gone hard with the officer if he had been mistaken fan the Information ha gave the president. Then, completely accepting the information. MM ?;enuine, Callee' face became transormed instantly frpm soberness to positive radiance. He glowed, he laughed aloud, For hours he had been declining food. "Bring me a sandwich," he ordered, "Give me a drink." He munched and gulped, and thet) stopped to cheer. Bfcrefy if ever, had Canes been known to betray his feelInge publicly. It demonstrated the depths to which he must have been moved during those hours when he feared that .the gallant youth he had caused to fly to Mexico by presidential invitation might have found tragedy awaiting hint somewhere behind those mighty mountain ranges. A few minutes later, after the airman had landed and reached the presidential box, Senor Calles did not content himself merely with shaking hands. The president gave the Ix>ne Ragle a full "Kmbra\:<>?" that is, a real hug, throwing both arms around Lindy's shoulders and patting him affectionately. Colonel Lindbergh looked a little flustrated. Ambassador Mors row seemed just about as happy as it is given to men to be in this world. The crowd by this time was surging' by the thousands in front of to?presidential stand. They cheered, and yelled louder than before if that could be possible. They demanded "Lindy" nothing would do them but Lindy. So the youthful bird man, on the arm of the president, advanced to the edge of the platform and waved and smiled. And the crowd seemed quite as happy us the president and ambassador. Chinese Hard On Reds. Shanghai, Dec. 17.?The work of expelling Communists is being pursued with utter ruthleseness in Canton and Hankow. Even women and girls are being shot down indiscriminately if suspected of being Communists. Bobbed hair is considered the sign of a woman Communist in China, and at least 14 bphbed-fcalred girls and women have been shot by anti-Red troops in Canton. During the ruthless campaign against Communists, troops shot down the girls and women in the streets without compunction. Nineteen Russians, declared to be Communists, had been executed in the streets in Canton as a warning to those who turned to Communism, said advices from Hongkong. Among those reported killed were M. Kirisheff and his wife. The latter was the secretary to Michael Borodin, Russian adviser to the former Nationalist government. Fifteen Soviet officials, including Consul General PliteRche, were deported from Hankow this morning and started for Shanghai aboard a Chinese steamer.
