WHAT NEXT?

WHAT REMAINS FOR EXPLORERS,

·

When Mount Everest has been climbed, what great things will there be left for man to achieve upon the earth? asks Mr. Harold Lake

The North Pole and the South have been visited. The maps of all the countries of the world bear witness to the work of explorers. No notable stretch of land remains that has not been surveyed. It might seem that the world will have yielded up all its secrets and that nothing will remain to be conquered or any field left for those whose adventurous souls drive them ever into the unknown.

Bat there are some conjectures which have the force of facts. It is certain, for instance, that ships sunk over the great deeps can never reach

the bottom. There must come a

point where the terrific compression of the water holds them in crushed, eternal stiliness. It is certain also that there must be a depth below which no form of life can exist.

URGENT AND TRAGIC NEED, The urgent and tragic need of the people of the famine areas in North China has moved the several Interaz. tional Famine Relief Societies to determine on a National Famine Relief Drive to be held February 20- 28th inclusive. The response with which this project has been received in all parts of China encourages the Committee in charge to believe that a large sum may be secured for famine relief through this plan. In Peking an International Committee has been formed and an influential group of Chinese is actively at work on the drive among the Chinese people, All money received in Peking by the Drive Committee will be handed over to the United International
