Schlee in Detroit

To Detroit, William S. Brock and Edward F. Schlee, around-the-world flyers, winged their way. As they landed, crowds surged in upon them. Into Mr. Schlee's arms rushed his wife. As he was pushed through the crowds on his way to City Hall, congratulatory hands clapped him on the back, hundreds of people shouted at him from all directions, automobile sirens shrieked in his ears. Mayor J. S. Smith congratulated him. Then for dinner, he was rushed to a banquet given in honor of the two flyers. Called upon for a speech, Mr. Schlee rose, said: "There seems to be a general misconception . . ." and collapsed. Friends attributed the breakdown to nervous strain. Said full-page newspaper advertisements:-"Detroit is proud of the Pride of Detroit and its Intrepid Pilots--Ed Schlee and Billy Brock."
