Cnder a brilliant sun, with only occasional breezes to ruffle the German and Irish flags and the Stars and Stripes which had heen raised, the visitors wero greeted by Secretary Kellogg as men who had -"marked another milestone on the path of man's conquest over the forces of nature." . "It Is with doepest admiration for your magnificent exploit that I woleomo you on behalf of the, American people and the United States," the secretary said. "Yours was indeed a task to test the pow ers of human editrance and Its suc ccHsful accomplishment has stirred the entire nation. "Moreover, I like to consider your achievement symbolical of the ever narrowing dlstancea which separate the nations of the modern world, both in real and figurative sense. "Your undertaking Itself was nn example of international coopera tion and Its happy outcome Is all the more gratifying to this country to whose upbuilding tho German and Irish nnlons have so richly contributed." The firemen's crew rode tri umphantly up to tho welcoming stand. As they arrived they arose nnd saluted the four flags, two American, one German and the Irish Free State. The army band then played the national anthem of the Irish Free State, followed hy the German an them nnd the Star Spangled Ban ner.
