MOUNT M'NNLEY SCALED BY TEXAN
North Americas Highest Point Reach
ed by Archdeacon Stuck and Party
by Northwest Ridge Route.
tCopyrlght-)

Seattle, Wash.-Archdeacon Hudson
Stuck, the Episcopal missionary who
set out from Fairbanks, Alaska, sew
eral months ago to climb Mount Nc
kinley, reached the summit of the
! highest peak of the great mountain
June 7. according to private cable
dispatch received at Seattle Saturday.
The message sent by Archdeacon
Stuck from Fairbanks said:
Expedition successful. Accomplish
ed first complete ascent of Mount Nc
Kinley June 7.
"H. P. Karstens, R. G. Tatum, Wal
ter Harper and | reached top of south
point, the highest OF all peaks, on a
clear day when it Was possible to read
all the angles of the mountains and
other prominent points and make GER
tain that the peak which we had con-
quered was the highest of all.
1--WE successfully carried mercurial
barometer to the top and made COM
plete readings and observations.
with field glasses we clearly saw
the flagpole erected in 1910 by the
Thomas-Lloyd expedition on the north
peak.
after completing observations on
the summit, we hoisted the American
flag on the upper base, erected a SIX.
foot cross and said TIE Deum' on the
highest point of North America.
The northwest ridge is the only
possible approach to the summit.
1--WE spent three weeks in continu'
Gus bad weather, hewing a passage
three miles long through the side
This was the chief cause of delay.
"The chief credit for our success is
due to Karsten's good judgment. We
did not have a single mishap"
Archdeacon Sucks party is the first
to reach the summit of the south peak
One other expedition reached the top
of the north peak, Thomas Lloyd OF
Fairbanks and three other Alaskans
having made the ascent in the spring
of 1910.
| Last year Professor Perchall Parker
of Brooklyn and Belmore Brown OF
Tacoma, who had previously failed in
two attempts to climb the mountain
along the route described by DR., Fred
erick A. Cook, as the one he followed
when he made his alleged ascent sew
eral years ago, went over the route
followed by the Lloyd expedition and
were within 200 feet of the summit
when they were driven back by a
blizzard.
Archdeacon Stuck, engaged in mis-
sionary work among the Alaskans
since 1904, had taken no vacation in
five years and planned the expedition
as an outing.
Before he went to Alaska he was
dean of ST. Matthews Cathedral in
Dallas, Texas.

However, it seemed to be up to me to
do something, SO / drew myself to my
commanding height of five feet four
inches and begged his pardon for dis
turbing him, explaining that my little
nephews usually occupied that room'
and that they were expecting me over
to celebrate the Fourth with them
but 1t all sounded like perfect nom
sense. Just then, to my mingled relief
and annoyance, Tom appeared at the
window, too with a fiendish grin, as
he sized up the situation and my cos
tune.

silence, Tom sobered down and intro

AMERICAN ARMY WEAK
Bravery Undoubted but Numbers and
Equipment Lacking

Paris, Dec. 19.--That the American
army is deficient in numbers and
equipment is the conclusion of an ex-
haustive study OF the United States
war machine in The Paris Temps by
Reginald Kann, the war correspon-
dent and military critic. He says:
81 went through the Philippine
campaign with the American troops
and | know their courage and brave
ny, but they lack numbers.
"The United States army could
give a serious account Of itself in
Mexico. but 1t is not strong enough
numerically to undertake even tenn
porary occupation OF that country,
while the equipment, the armament
the cavalry horses leave a lot TO be
desired.
THE officers are gallant and bril-.
liant as men on the battlefield, but
their professional value does not
equal their courage.
"The system of promotion by per-
iod of service dampens tine ambition
and is a great drawback.
Congress is very slow in acceding
to the reforms recommended BY the
general staff.
Another vice inherent in the army
is its Dispersal over the tremendous
territory OF the United States max
ing quick mobilization in case OF ur-
gency impossible.
Except the Chinese he concludes
"the Americans are the least military
nation under the sun, because tho
people indulge in intense individual
ism and are impatient of all disci-
pine. The Yankee is above all a
fighter. but he wants TO fight alone.

peat their previous verdict over the
