stand at Frederick, near here, last

jOcratic party would carry out the
ideals which her husband stood for.
' She heard him pledge himself to the
I people of the United States and to
; the foreign nations of the world on
1 the International policy, based, not
upon the selfishness; not upon the
aloofness; not upon the isolation—but
, instead, he said, in readiness and a
willingness to share in all the bur
dens, both foreign and domestic.
In continuing, Davis declared that
I “in time, the League of Nations will
be entered by the United States.”
In his attack on Secretary Andrew
Mellon of the Treasury, Davis accused
i him of making himself a “financial
■ prophet,” through the unwarranted in

WORLD FLYERS SUCCESSFULLY
CIRCUMNAVIGATE THE GLOBE IN
RETURNING TO SEATTLE SUNDAY
SEATTL, Wash., Sept. 20—The first circumnavigation of the
world by air was successfully completed yesterday afternoon, when
Lieut. Lowell II. Smith landed at the Sand Point field, at 1 :50 p.m.,
followed 40 seconds later by Lieut. Erik Nelson with Lieut. Wade
alighting at 1:58. Flying through brilliant sunshine, at a high alti
tude and in close formation, the machines first appaered over Elli
ott Bay at 1:27 p. m., majestically circling slowly over the city be
fore alighting.
The blowing of whistles and the screaming of sirens from vessels
anchored in the harbor signaled the arrival of the flyers from their
arduous trip around the world. Practically every person composing
Seattle’s population had gathered at the Sand Point field around
which was parked every auto and Ford in the surrounding coun
try. %
The welcoming exercises were impressive. After the informal
reception at the field the men were escorted to Volunteer Park where'
a formal reception was held. The mechanics of the intrepid flyers
also came in for a hearty welcome. They were Leslie Arnold .John
Ilarding jr., and Henry II. Ogden who came in for their share of
the honors.
The flyers took off from Eugene, Oregon, at 10 o’clock yesterday
morning, reaching here without incident. The number of flying days
on the world trip numbered 60, and the elapsed time of flight was
175 days from their departure from Seattle, April 6. The average
speed of the planes was 74.4 miles
per hour. Had the journey been made
in one continuous flight, it would
have been finished in approximately
14 days and 12 hours, eclipsing the
trip of the hero of Jules Verne’s nov
el, who is supposed to have traveled
around the world 'in sixty days.
The longest hop on the flight was
from Rekjavik, Iceland, to Fredericks
dal, Greenland, a distance of 825
miles. The longest scheduled hop was
from Attu Island to the Kurile isl
ands, a distance of 878 miles. This
jump was broken into two flights, a
storm forcing the planes to land en
route. Smith and Nelson, with their
mechanics, flew a total of about 26,
22.r> miles.

/and Mrs. Cora Arnold, mother of Lt.

his sister, greeted Arnold here.
Demonstration for Martin.

and the Nation's sincere admiration
were accorded the six aviators who
completed their journey around the
world, Major Martin, the first com
mander of the round the world flight,
whose hopes wrere wrecked when the
flagship Seattle crashed to the ground
in Alaska, was given a most remarka
ble demonstration. With tears of bit
ter disappointment streaming down
his face, he addressed the immense
crowd, saying:
“I realize better than you the cour
age, hardships and stick-to-it-iveness

I Standard Six
Announcement of the new Buick
“Standard Six” brought approxi
mately 500,000 people into Buick
salesrooms on the first day this
car was shown.
Why? Because every where every
one is marveling atthe new“Stand
ard Six”—the “Six” that sets a new
standard of quality and price.
See it for Ourself
ELLSWORTH’S
Quick Sales arid Service
When* better automobiles *are built, Buick will build thom
that these men needed to complete
this flight. Just think what they en
dured when they did all the overhaul
ing, repairing and mechanical work
on their planes with their own hands.
They met and overcame almost in
surmountable difficulties. I certainly
hate to face this crowd today. If my
flight was a disappointment to you it
was a much keener one to me.”
At the conclusion of his speech, Ma
jor Martin was greeted with the most
tremendous ovation ever accorded any
official in this city, the crowd cheer
ing him for ten minutes, pandemoni
um breaking loose.
Canadian Gov’t Gives Welcome.
Representing the Canadian govern
ment, Great Britain and the royal
family, the Canadian destroyer Patri
cia dropped anchor off Sand Point and
her officers went ashore and extended
the congratulations of the British Em
pire to the successful conclusion of
the world’s greatest flight.
After a few days’ rest, the flyers
and their mechanics will leave for
Oregon on a hunting and fishing trip
of two weeks, after which they will
visit with relatives until assigned to
permanent duties.

den Coolidge in a telegram message
to this city, expressed his thanks in
behalf of the country to the six flyers
and also his personal congratulations
on the completion of their recent
jaunt around the world.

the convening of congress he would
at once recommend that authority be
granted to reward the squadron by
pro-motion or some other proprietary
in order that the distinguished ser
vices that the airmen have rendered
to the country niav have a practical
recognition from the people of the
United Stattes.
