AN AMAZING RECEPTION.
NO KING OR GENERAL SO
HONOURED.
"AUSSIES" TAKE POSSESSION.
Received May 28, 11.5 p.m
LONDON, May 27
The topic of the hour is Hawker's amazing reception. Hundreds of thousands of men and women gathered between King's Cross and the Aero Club to lionise the heroes. No ovation accorded to king ov general in living memory equalled Hawker's. The size of the the crowd and the impetuosity of the Australians made the carrying out of the programme impossible. All pre-arrangod plans were swept aside when the "diggers" determined to take charge of the proceedings. Word was passed round that the "Aussies must have him," so Hawker was kidnapped directly he appeared in the carriage door.
