AERIAL HERO
LINDBERGH IN TRIUMPH
FLIGHT TO MEXICO
(United Press Association.—Copyright.) NEW YORK, 14th December. Colonel Lindbergh's flight from Washington to Mexico City brought about a recurrence of the same intense popular interest as.did the Paris flight. Newspapers in the United States are devoting a large amount of space to minute descriptions and all details, while in Mexico the newspapers are breaking all precedents by emerging from a conservative treatment of news by printing largo photographs of Lindbergh and heralding the flier.as one of the greatest modern heroes. Anxiety regarding the lateness of his arrival was extremely tense, and the relief was great when he landed safely. He explained that he had lost his bearings in a fog, probably over Tampico.
To-night Lindbergh is being feted and already has been presented with a large number of gifts. The newspapers in Mexico have suggested that the National University confer an honorary degree upon him. A similar tribute has only been paid to high dignitaries such as Messrs. Roosevelt and Edison and King Victor-Emmanuel : : .:
