French greet Kellogg upon his Paris arrival

PARIS, Aug. 24, 1928 (UP) - The special train carrying United States Secretary of State Kellogg from Havre to Paris for the signing of the anti-war pact arrived in Paris shortly after 10 a.m. today, after a record run from the port town.

The train made the run in two hours and 35 minutes and made the distance in such swift time that the train arrived two minutes before the arrival of American Ambassador Myron T. Herrick at the Gare St. Nazare.

Herrick, his son, Parmalee, and his private secretary, Schote, arrived a few minutes later to greet the United States statesman.

There was an unusual display as the train whirled into the station. Municipal guards and police lined the platform to hold back the cheering crowd.

The French government was represented by M. De Fourquieres, chief of the protocol department. The British embassy secretary and Phillippe Roy, new Canadian minister to Paris, were at hand to greet Mackenzie King, premier of Canada.

After being photographed, Mr. And Mrs. Kellogg proceeded to the American embassy, while Mackenzie King immediately went to his suite at the Hotel Crillon.

Several thousand persons lined the streets and cheered as the two diplomats were whirled to their respective destinations. This afternoon Kellogg will visit Philippe Barthelot, general secretary in the foreign ministry, and later will retire to his apartment to rest.
