At the Soldiers Home, Mr. Hoover
paid tribute to the veterans. He said
in part: .
which has a deeper or more vivid
realization and understanding of the
horrors of war than you who have suf-
fered from it. The desire of every
American is for peace. 1t is the aspira-

margin by which civilization has sur
vived. There is no nation in the world
today that does not earnestly wish for
peace-that is not earnestly striving for
peace.

Peace comes only as the result of
mutual good will and the determination
to eliminate by fair negotiation the
causes of misunderstanding and fric-
ton. The maintenance of peace de-
ponds upon continuous effort to make
that good will effective. Our duty re-
quires that we shall be unceaSing in

the fabric of friendly understanding and
mutual interest among nations. We
have earnestly wished for limitation of
armament throughout the world as a
definite contribution to peace. But
peace must be founded upon respect.
We must be prepared for defense. This
does not imply aggression-it is con-
tribution to peace.
You have made the greatest sacrifice
that the sons of America can make
for their country. You have given your
health and sacrificed your own right
full aspirations upon the altar. The
care here bestowed is but partial dis
charge of an obligation which the coun-
try can never fully repay, but you hold
something more precious in the graft

fellow countrymen for those who have
served the country WE'LL

TENNESSEE Town
FILLED WITH GUESTS
500 Special Police Unable to
Cope With Enthusiastic
Hoover Audience.

By the Associated Press.
ELIZABETHTON, Tenn, october 6.
Herbert Hoover got great reception
in this section of the Tennessee
mountains today as he came here to
deliver his first and only address of the
campaign in the South. The little in
dustrial town was literally overrun with
visitors from this State as we'll as
Virginia, North Carolina and Kentucky
and the 500 special police drafted" to
keep the throngs in line were utterly
unable to cope with the situation.
Time and again the crowds rushed
into the streets, breaking through police
ropes and stopping automobiles. The
Republican presidential candidate left
his special train six miles away to ride
into Elizabethton in a gaily decorated
automobile converted into the typical
float of a pageant. AS the motorcade
reached the outskirts of the town, 1t
ran into cheering, f1ag-waving throngs
and its progress than was eXtraordina-
rily slow until detour was made to
visit the artificial silk mills, the prin-
cipal industry of the town.
Greeted at Plant.
There the candidate and Mrs. Hoover
were welcomed by the German officials
of the plant and cheered by employees.
AS the inspection ended, heavy shower
of rain fell, 1mprisoning Mr.. and Mrs.
Hoover for a quarter of an hour. At
the end of that time the sun came out
again and the party started on the
drive to the hotel, passing between lines
of thousands of persons, who cheered
and waved flags in greeting.
There was such mob around the
hotel where the Republican presidential
candidate was a luncheon guest of the
chamber of commerce that the police
had difficulty in clearing lane for the
candidate and his party. Many of
those riding in the cars behind were
halted a quarter of a mile away. and
some were unsuccessful in their battle
to reach the hotel and they went
without luncheons.
Crowd Mills i'm Street.
After the doors of the hotel had
closed on Hoover the crowd broke all
bounds, milling around in the street end
blocking all traffic. After a while the
throngs started for Harmon Field, half
mile away, where the speakers plat
form had been built on mountain side
with reserved seats rising tier upon tier
above it.
These soon were filled, and thousands
gathered in the meadow which sloped
away and which was almost a quag-
mire as result of downpour which
continued all of last night. However,
the crowd did not seem to mind that,
as 1t was entertained by ! radio
program. It broke into cheers for
Hoover every now and then, although
the candidate at that time still was
having lunch at the hotel.

Together they drove slowly to the
field, surrounded by the hundreds of
men and women who had waited to
walk beside their car in solid mass,
filling streets and sidewalks.
The crowd was so thick that two
men had to elbow path for Mrs.
Hoover to and from the platform, and
she slipped into the mud over her shoe
tops like every one else. But she took
it all in good part and her smile never
failed

ELIZABETHTON, Tenn, october
6.-Mrs Herbert Hoover evidently
placed a higher value, today, on per-
sonal greeting from the people of half
a dozen Southern States than she did
on her luncheon, as she left the table
before the lunch rendered her and her
husband by the Chamber of Commerce
of Elizabethton, and held an impromp-
tn reception for several hundred women
in another room.
II didn't know there were so many
people in this whole half of the State
