LONDON. July 35.-Londoners today
hockeG % the American department

BIeriot mon0plane, in which the daring
French aviator crossed the English
channel Sunday morning.
Mr. Selfridge gave $1,000 to a London
hospital in return for being permitted
to exhibit the aeropIane and his enter
prise is being richly rewarded. It
seemed that everybody In the me-
tropolis wanted to see the monoplane.
and a special detachment Of police had
to guard it from the eager thrOng.
Arrangements are beng made today 10
give Bleriot a tremendous welcome
when he comes to London, which will
probably be within the next few days.
Give Full Credit.
Although the English 4eronauts are
keenly disappointed that the honor of
first crossing the channel fell to a
Frenchman, they are not bit chary IN
giving Bleriot full credit Ior his daring
accomplishment. The feat has served
