Their "formal talks" at luncheon
yesterday were almost as brief.
Post talked a minute and a half,
thanked Gatly for his (ine navigat

ancing the trip; Mayor Walker for
his luncheon, and all the people on
his little journey around the world
The Russians
were absolutely splendid. Alaska
turned out In full force. I believe
that la all I have to say."
Gatty, equally brief, also praised
the Russians. "The Russian Aero
nautic Society was wonderful, did
everything they could for vs." Ap
parently the Russians can discrimi
nate. Australia's prime minister sent
a friendly message: "Australia is
proud of Gutty, and we are suro
that Gatty is proud of Post."
General Ely of the United States
army made an excellent short
speech, saying that the world's
filers, helping and admiring each
other without animosities or jeal
ousies, set a good example to the
world's nations. Perhaps by mak
ing the world constantly smaller,
they will gradually make it more
friendly.
He referred to German fliers in
the war, dropping flowers on the
graves of enemy airmen killed in
battle. i
In - describing a great race, it
would be unjust to forget the horse.
It was a good airplane that carried
those tilers around the world In
less than nine days; The Detroit
Aircraft Corporation made it, and
Karl S. Belts of that corporation,
gave a dinner to the filers last
night.
