milton of the humane work done by
Mrs. Freyer ia Peru. where she found

welfare work and protection of ami
mails, and for her work in creating a
better understanding between the two
countries through familiarizing the
people of the United States with the
culture and art of Peru.
The order of the Sun was founded
by San Martin, who was to Peru what
George Washington was to the United
States. At one time the order was
suppressed, but was revived by the
President of Peru, Don Agusto b.
Leguia. to commemorate the cente-
nary of their independence, on July

The pair conceived the idea here of
attempting the transatlantic hop in
which Miss Elder hoped to become the
first woman to fly from New York to
Paris.
Two days of anxiety over the flight
reached its peak on the eve of the
announcement that the flyers had
been picked up at sea. Business gen.
orally had been at a StandStill since
the hop.off and the flight predominated
as the principal topic of conversation.
Crowds fingered continually in front

sighted last the throngs increased and
walked restlessly about the downtown
streets.
At last came the Associated Press

claimed the news generally.
A parade started the celebration.
Official Lakeland took cognizance Of
the event and another parade took up

FLIGHT FOOLISH,
WOMEN DECLARE
Good Typist of More Value
to World Than Ruth Elder,
Mrs. Stoner Holds.
By the Associated Press.

BY Jne Associated ETcSS.
NEW YORK, October 14.-Some
American women think Ruth Elder
was very foolish" to risk her life
in the transatla antic flight, and of
much less service to humanity than
a good typist."
While conceding the courage of
the pretty aviatrix, DR.. Katherine E.
Davis. sociologist, called her adven.
ture "a mistaken thing for a young
girl to do" Mrs. Franklin D. Roose-
welt, civic leader, criticized the need.
less risk involved, and Winifred Sack.
vile Stoner, founder of the League
for Fostering Genius. expressed her
preference for good typists to Ruth
Elders and Gertrude Ederles.
Opposes Unnecessary Risks.
DR.. Davis said: "The only time any
one should undertake a thing that
jeopardizes the happiness Of dear ones
Is when he or she has a definite
chance of accomplishing something.
There is no woman alive today
that know of equipped as to physi.
cal makeup and past training and ex-
perience for such a flight"
Mrs. StOner voiced her opposition
to what she described as unnecessary
undertakings.
Gertrude Ederle IS another ex.
ample" she said. Just as think 1t
it inane to swim across the Channel
when there are ships and airplanes
to take you across, so l think it fool
hardy to attempt a flight across the
Atlantic when nothing whatever will
be accomplished by 1t.
''Typist of More Value"
Miss Elder came out boldly and
said she cared nothing about scientific
advancement, but wanted to be the
first woman to fly across the Atlantic.
If she had wanted to show that a
woman was capable OF accomplishing
what man had accomplished, or had
wanted to show that woman could
fly alone like Lindbergh, that would
have been laudable.
"A fast, accurate typist does more
for the community than a dozen Ger
trude Ederles or Ruth Elders"
Mrs. Roosevelt mildly criticized Miss
Elder for risking the life of her pilot,
Capt. George Haldeman, as we'll as
her own life after experts on ocean
flying had advised her against 1t.
Fraulein Thea Rasche and Miss
Ruth Rowland Nichols Of Rye, both
prominent woman flyers, expressed
their happiness at the rescue OF Miss
Elder and Haldeman, but even they
expressed the opinion that a three.
en&ined plane capable of landing on
water would have been the wiser
choice for the aviators.

ers did consult with the Treasury as
to whether loans abroad would EN-
barrass the Treasury in its own pro-
gram. Senator Glass, who then was
the Treasury Secretary, discloses that
in some instances an affirmative
answer was given and the loans were
withheld.
However, the Virginian takes the
position that this was quite different
from bankers making application to
the State Department for approval of
their loans to foreign governments.
His contention is that by approving
loan the Government places upon it
the stamp of it's moral approval.
Glass Comment Withheld,
Comment at the State Department
on the attack by Senator Glass was
withheld. although there were indica-
ttons that Secretary Kellogg had given
attention to the Senator's remarks.
The department did call attention,
however, to a statement issued March
3, 1922, by Secretary Hughes which
said that during the preceding Sum.
mer President Harding and certain
cabinet members had discussed with a
group of American investment bank.
ers the Governments interest in fio.
tation of foreign bonds in the United
States and expressed to the bankers
the desire that the Government be
adequately informed of such trans
actions in advance Of their consumma-
tion.
The bankers Jsequently expressed
their concurrence in that program,
but Secretary Hughes found it neces-
sary to issue the statement in March,
1922, as the desirability "of such co.
operation does not seem sufficiently
we'll understood in banking and in
vestment circles"
Not Required to Consult.
The conclusion of the statement
pointed out that bankers could not be
required to consult the State Depart
ment and added:
1T (the State Department. will not
pass upon the merits Of foreign loans
as business propositions, nor assume
any responsibility whatever in con
nection with loan transactions. Offers
for foreign loans should not, therefore.
state or imply that they are contingent
upon an expression from the Depart.
ment OF State regarding them, nor
should any prospectus or contract re.
fer to the attitude of this Government.
The department believes that in
view Of the possible national interests
involved 1t should have the opportu.
nifty of saying to the underwriters
concerned, should it appear advisable
to do so, that there is or is not objec-
ton to any particular issue"

Adverse weather conditions extending
entirely across the North Atlantic
this morning caused the postponement
of the scheduled start of the flight to

Grayson and her two companions in
their Sikorsky amphibian Dawn" A
new attempt will be made tonight.

disappointed but that in keeping with
her announced plans for a safe and
sane flight" there was nothing to do
but to hope that when tidal conditions
are again favorable, the weather may
have cleared.
Low tide will come at 8 tonight.
But as it will be long after darkness
has fallen and Wilmer Stultz, co.pilot
of the expedition, who expected to be
at the stick as the machine gets
away, has expressed a desire to make
the start in daylight, the actual time
of departure remained admittedly
doubtful.

Labor, today made ready for another
years campaign in the cause of
unionism
That the administration would con-
tinue in the same conservative policy
that has marked the two previous
terms of Green as connnander Of the
federation forces was indicated.
The former Pennsylvania miner and
his aides were elected by acclamation
at Yesterdays session of the conven-
ton.
Morrison Again HOnOred.
The reelection of Frank Morrison
Of Washington, d. c.. as secretary
marked the thirty-second time that

J. Tobin of Indianapolis, treasurer;
James Duncan of Quincy, Mass;
Frank Duffy Of Indianapolis, Matthew
Woll of Chicago, Martin Ryan of Kan
sas City, Mo-; James Wilson of Gin
cinnati and James p. Noonan of
Washington, vice presidents.
After the election, the delegates
started a drive to round up the bust
ness of the convention in an effort
to wind up the annual sessions this
week.
Railway Signalmen's Fight.
This plan was blocked by a heated
iurisdictional argument in which the
Brotherhood of Railway Signalmen
fought bitterly, but vainly. an order
to transfer to the Electrical Workers
Union all of its members who spend
more than half of their working hours
in electrical work. This action had
been ordered at the 1924 convention.
The resolution ordering 1t placed in
effect and the accompanying commit
lee recommendation carried the ulti'
matum that failure to comply within
80 days might mean suspension of the
brotherhood should the federation eX.
scutive council see fit to do so.
Unions End Forseen.
Spokesman for the signalmen pre-.
1icted that enforcement of the order
transferring the men from their broth
erhood might mean the death of their
"small and struggling union" c. j.
Hayes, one of the brotherhood's dele
gates, declared the brotherhood would
be forced to disband or join company
unions"
The vote in favor of the transfer or.
der was another administration vic
tory.
The Philippine Islands figured in two
resolutions approved by the conven-
ton. One. originally designed to keep
Filipinos from entering the continental
United States by way of Hawaii, was
changed in wording to speak of
"Asiatics" instead of Filipinos. The
second favored the granting of inde,
pendence to the residents of the
