LINDBERGH’S FLIGHT.
GREAT DEMONSTRATIONS AT MEXICO CITY. - FLIER THE HERO OF THE HOUR. IV CABLE—PRESS ASSOC! ATION—COPYRIGHT NEW YORK, Dec. 14. Lindbergh’s flight to Mexico City brought about a recurrence of the same intense popular interest as did the Paris flight. The newspapers in the United States are devoting a large amount of space- in minute descriptions of all details, while in Mexico newspapers are breaking all precedents, emerging from conservative treatment of news and printing large 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 he lost his bearings in*a fog, probably over Tampico. To-night Lindbergh is being feted, and already lie has been presented with a large number of gifts. Newspapers ill Mexico have suggested that the National University should confer ail honorary degree upon him. Similar tribute has only been paid to high dignitaries, such as Roosevelt, Edison, and King Victor Emmanuel.
