DE PINEDO EXCITES ADMIRAT TYON

No small part of the regret that unquestionaby
filled De Pinedo, the Italian aviator at the unforun
ate loss of his airplane this week. must have been
moved yesterday he continued his journey to the
Pacific coast in company with squadron of American
flyers, even though he travelled as a passenger.
Americans everywhere keeny regretted the disaster
which befell this daring aviator after he had travelled
1900 miles from his homeland on one of the
most remarkable flights attempted.
And Americas regret did not stop with mere
pressions The offer of plane in which to complete
that part of his journey within the United States
made by the United States government in the
hour the disaster occurred De Pnedo refused it for
reasons of his own, but gladly accepted the invitation
to be taken to the coast
There thrill in watching the planes as they
scared Ell Centro yesterday. Far above the
brave foreigner thousands of miles from his home the
victim of lamentable catastrophe, travelling with
strangers and yet not with strangers though they
were unable to speak his language The bond of the
airman existed between them. They who risk their
lives in the lanes of the sky need other bond the
dangers they brave wiping out all differences
1t was truly expressive way of showing the sym
pathy that exists for De Pinedo One brdmans SYM
pathy to another and understood on both sides.
America is united in the hope that the brave Italian
may be given another plane by his government that
he may complete his flight without any further mis-
hap and that he may know he has the heartfelt admir-
alton of the American people.
