Seven Young Men Are Out To Beat Mount Everest

THE smallest and lightest equipped expedition Britain has yet sent to conquer 29,000 feet high Mount Everest will reach its base camp within the next three weeks, and will then start its attack on the summit.

The expedition consists of seven young men-three of them married-led by Mr. H. W. Tilman, 36-years-old Wallasey (Cheshire) bachelor and experienced moun- taineer.

Eke was found dead with his head in gas oven at his home in Pier- street, Plymouth.

The coroner, Mr. W. E. J. Major, returned a verdict that he took his life by inhaling coal gas and that probably he was walking in his sleep or the balance of his mind was dis-

RICH IRON AREAS GIVE ILLIMITABLE METAL SUPPLIES

SAN FRANCISCO.

IF JAPAN HAS NOT ALREADY WON HER PLACE IN THE SUN AS A RESULT OF HER PRESENT PENETRATION OF CHINA, SHE HAS AT LEAST WON HER PLACE IN THE GREAT IRON FIELDS OF THE WORLD, ACCORDING TO A SURVEY OF THE INSTITUTE OF PACIFIC RELATIONS.

With the taking over by the Japanese of the famous Lungyen iron fields in Chahar province, Japan has at- tained one of the greatest objectives of her present drive into China.

Already Japan is enjoying the "fruits" of her pre- sent victory.

What bread is to human life, iron is to the industrial expansion, naval construction and armaments pro- gramme of a nation and for years past Japan has been scouring the seven seas purchasing vast quantities of scrap iron in an effort to meet her growing needs in that metal.

In spite of Japan's efforts to date to build up an adequate reserve of iron, the Institute reports that it is no secret that she still suffers an acute short- jage of that metal.

The Longyen iron fields are great that they represent 40 per cent of the entire iron deposits in China. The Chinese Geological Survey estimated that they contain 01,645,000 tons of ore waiting for exploitation.

Japan's acquisition of these de- fest they are strated where they are easy of access and facilities for ransportation already exist.
