 When the plane made it's easy, graceful landing it was the signal for the most uproarious cheer heard in years Thousands of persons had gathered at the field to unite in giv- ing the Americans the sort of well come of which only the I.atins are capable The field was damned to capacity. The verandas of the hous- es' were packed. The green stretches on the field were dense with on- lockers. The whole vicinity was lit orally filled with humanity.
