had several fights. The distance from
the frontier to Lhasa is 800 miles, and
Gyantse is just about half way. The
town is situated in fiat, open valley,
dotted all over with fouIishing ham
lets, and watered by numerous
streams. 1t was an agreeable change
for us. especially as spring was COM
ing on, and the bitter cold had been
left behind.
On the fifth day of May our camp
was awakened by wild shouts and
firing, which were the prelude of an
attack in force by the Tibetan troops.
For fully two months we were be-
sieged; then re-enforcements arrived,
and WE'VE enabled to proceed. On
July If we set out for Lhasa in the
midst of a rainstorm. Frequent rains
thereafter went far to destroy the
delusion that Tibet is rainless coun-
try.
Lhasa, the Forbidden City.
AS we passed over range after
range of hills we looked eagerly for
the mysterious city. 1t was on the
second day of August that we beheld
at last the golden roofs Of the Potala
the huge group of buildings on the
hilltop composing the official quar-
ters of the grand lama-glittering in
the distance; and on the following
day we pitched our camp beneath the
walls of Lhasa, the forbidden capital,
which no living European had ever
seen before.
The first fact of Importance that
we ascertained was that the grand
lama had fed. He had sought refuge
in Chinese territory.
We found much to interest us mean
while in the monasteries, which might
be described as ecclesiastical settle
ments, surrounded by high walls and
gathered about one or more temples.
The temples always have red walls,
and in many instances the roofs are
covered with plates of pure gold. In

Two Painful Happenings Taught Him
to Take No Chances as to Which
Side His Captors Wanted Him
to "Hooray" For.

When he returned from the reunion
of the Spanish War Veterans, former
Militia Captain Marsh remarked to
his wife that it was "all eulogy-when
we didn't write ourselves down heroes

with his post, and every man broke
the air-breadth-escape record except
that old Virginian. You know the
story?"
Mrs. Marsh shook her head.
HE sat all hunched up on the hotel
piazza, listening to the Northerners.
Finally he spoke up:

up, says Col. Sir FRANK 1OuHS-
husband, the famous English
explorer, in a published inter
view. AS the most important result
of the expedition which | led to
Lhasa, he continues, formal treaty
was signed by which the country was
practically thrown open to foreign
ers. Trading posts have been estab-
lished, and the natives are anxious
to cultivate friendly relations with
the outside world.
The city of Lhasa is situated in a
lovely valley, well irrigated, richly
cultivated, and watered by river
broad as the Thames at Westminster.
1t is exceedingly picturesque, the town
lofty hill, on which stands the huge
palace of the grand lama-an impos-
ing structure of masonry, very sOlidly
built.
Many of the houses are of stone and
substantially constructed, and not a
few of them are surrounded by shade
trees. The picture presented to the
eye by the rock-perched palace, with
the stray city at it's base-the whole
set in a beautiful valley, deep in the
heart Of the mountains-is wonder
fully impressive.
Our expedition started from OAR
jeeling, and the first part of the jour-
ney lay through the wonderful trop-
icaI forests of Sikkim-the mountain
sides covered everywhere with a
wealth of tropical vegetation. Mar
velous orchids and innumerable but
terflies of brilliant hues lent addition
al beauty to the scenes through which
we passed.
Steadily ascending, we finally
emerged upon the high Tibetan Ia
bleland, and found ourselves in view
of magnificent panorama of $50 miles
of the tallest peaks Of the Himalayas,

their babe, Bette Seward; and,
Whereas, Mr.. and Mrs. De-

Resolved, That we, the mem

That while the Sunday school

a sense of loss and, especially,

SPEEDWAY is DESIRED
BY CITYS HORSE LOVERS
Drivers and Riders Petition Secre-
tary Of War for East Potomac
Park Stretch.

Gentleman drivers and riders of the
District have Joined in a petition to the
Secretary Of War for the establishment
Of a speedway on the new macadam
roadway in East Potomac Park. That
roadway extends around the long penin-
sula east of the Pennsylvania railroad
miles. 1t is represented that either the
long, straight stretch along the bank
of the Virginia channel or the similar
stretch along the Washington channel
side would make an ideal speedway.
Although the officials of the War De-
partment believe that such use of Poto-
listing law. they have referred the petit
tton to Col. W. W. Harts, in charge OF
public buildings and grounds, for an
official report on the subject.
In the section of the sundry civil ap-
prapriation bill for the current year
ending June 80 next, making appro-
priations for Potomac Park, it is pro-
vided that mo part of any money ap-
propriated in this or any other act shall
be expended for or toward the con-
struction of any lagoon or other arti-
hcfal body Of water or speedway on
any portion of Potomac Park, in the
District of Columbia, unless specifically
authorized by Congress"
Similar provisions were contained In
sundry civil bills for the years 1918
and 1914. Whether the prohibition will
be contained in the sundry civil bill
for the coming fiscal year beginning
July l next remains to be seen. II
omitted from that bill, 1t is said at the

ASKED TO MEET IN CAPITAL.
Invitation Extended the 0ne-Cent
Letter Postage Association.

The Washington Chamber of Com
merce has extended to the National
One-Cent Letter Postage Association
an invitation to hold a national con-
vention in this city. The association
has a membership of about 100000.
consisting of business houses, boards
of trade and individuals located in
every state of the Union. For some
time it has been conducting a cam
paign in the interest of drop-letter
posta age-in other words, to have Con-
sress enact a law reducing the rate Of
postage from > cents to l cent on all
letters for delivery in the same city
or town in which they are mailed.
The figures of the Post Office De-
partment show that the revenues de-
rived from frst-class mail, or letters,
exceeds the actual cost to the govern
ment for handling this class of mail
by approximately s70.O00,000 annual
ly The association takes the stand
that the American people should
get the benefit of this surplus, and that
the success of the parcel post and the
increased business that Is bound to re-
suit from a reduction in the letter rate
of postage will more than justify Con-
gress in enacting laws making the de-
sired changes
The Chamber of Commerce OF Wash
ington is a member of the organization
and some time ago adopted a resolu-
ton indorsing the national campaign
being carried on by the association Tor

Copy of Letter Sent From Soldier in

An ardent admirer in Washington of
Gen. Joffre, who Is grieving at the
news of his breaking down under the
severe strain on his endurance, has re-
ceived from one of the soldiers in the
trenches a copy of the generals mes
sage to his troops after their success

1.-The sixth army has just maintained,
during five whole days without inter-
ruption or lull, a struggle against
numerous adversary, whose success
had. up to the present, elevated the
morale.
''The struggle has been hard, the
losses by fire. by fatigue due to lack
Of sleep and sometimes of food, have
surpassed all one could conceive. You
have endured all with a valor. vigor
and an endurance which words are
powerless to glorify as these deserve
to be.
Comrades, the general in chief has
asked you, in the name of the father
land, to do more than your duty; you
have responded to the call beyond that
which seemed even possible. Thanks
to you victory has come to crown our
flags. Now that you know its glorious
satisfaction, you will never let it es-
cape you.
'As for me. If I have accomplished
some good, I have been rewarded for
it by the greatest honor which has
ever been conferred on me, during my
long career. that of commanding men
such as you.
"It Is with a keen emotion that
thank you for what you have done, for
| I owe you that toward which have been
strained for forty-four years all my
efforts. all my energies. the compensa-
tion for 1870.
Thank you. Honor to all tho COM
batants of the sixth army.
