With the North and South Poles Dis- ™ covered and the Atlantic Crossed in Air, the Ascent of Highest Peak Only Achievement Left. morte Marguerite Mooers Marshall Curight, 1921, by the Prem Publishing Oa (The New York Evening World) AN has found the North Pole Mis the South Pole; he has flown across the Atlantic; he ‘bas invaded every unknown land; is Nature's last barrier about to fall before him with his ascent of Mount Everest, the peak of the Hi- malayas, which is the highest on earth, rising more than 29,000 feet— mere than five miles—above the level of the sea? Apparently this single unachieved goal of the adventurer and explor- er will soon be won, Amid great enthusiasm, Col Sir Francis Young- husband, the man who solved the mystery of Lhasa, “Forbidden City” *~of Thibet, announced the other night to the Royal Geographical Society ip London that Lhasa at last has granted permission to a party of British mountaineers to climb the mighty ountain, on the frontier line of Nepal and Thibet, which the natives have christened the “Lord of the Snows.” Preparations for the adventure are being hastened, so that {t may be attempted no later than next year; and one may guess that the leader will be the daring Sir Francis himself, who in 1903 was the first white man to enter Lhasa where he negotiated a treaty for the British Government opening up the mysferious kingdom of Thibet, Not until then did the world know which was its highest mountain peak, because only from the ‘Thibet side can it be seen to tower above all its neighbors. Looking from India, the nearer peaks appear more lofty than Mount sreat, closely elbowed by its ighbors. But a photograph made and brought back from Thibet by Sir Francis—he was then merely Col Younghusband—shows that the “Lord of the Snows" is, in a perfectly lit- eral sense, the “all-highest."* Now that human Interference with those who would ¢limh Mount Ever- t has been ended, will Nature her- self yield this last citadel? No de- talls haye yet been given by the Brit- ish exploring party as to their plans for overcoming the tremendous nat- ural obstacles, Yet it is agreed among expert mountaineers that most climbers reach the limit of their trength at least a mile below the sititude record of this super-moun- tain In plane last year Major R.

The Mayor, who used to be a fine amateur actor, of- fered to give a Shakespearean read- ing and selected the ghost scene from “Hamlet.” It was while he was declaiming that Shocker, who appeared to be teed up somewhat, interrupted to ask if he believed in ghosts. “Please don't ask foolish questions,” sald the Mayor. “I am reading the lines of the immortal bard.” “They aint no such things as ghosts,” replied Shocker. “This is no place for an argument,” snapped Mr. Walker. “The author of ‘Hamlet’ created the ghost and we must accept it” “Not me!” replied Shocker, “Trot the author out and I'll show him where all ghosts {s fakes,” It was more than the Mayor could stand. He stepped to the footlights and, holding up one hand, asked: “Ig Constable Pelee Brown pres- ent?” “Right here, sir rrest that man! « The constable did not hesitate one moment. He flew at Shocker and a fight followed. Shocker knocked Brown down four times and one story says he kicked him twice in the face, However, but one ki was seen by the lasies and gentlemen present, #0 it is believed the report was exag- gerated. The constable finally auc- ceeded in quelling his man by pulling off his boot and twisting his toes. When the melee was over Mayor Walker left the hall, saying he scented a political plot ‘to make him lose the classical vote in his race for re-election. The affair has set the whole town talking.
