NEW YORK, August 12-An inves-

hold on the White Star liner Adriatic
yesterday morning, which caused the
death of five and injured four more
of the crew, will begin as soon as the
vessel reaches port tomorrow, accord
ing to company officials.
Spontaneous combustion of the
gases generated in the coal being car
ried for use on the return trip of the
Adriatic was given as the cause of
the blast, but marine engineers here
said they could not understand how
enough gas could collect in the hold
to cause an explosion such as the
Adriatic reported by radio while 800
miles off Portland, Me. They pointed
out that the steamship holds are well
ventilated.
The passengers while at first star
tied by the reports of the blast, had
the utmost faith in the ability Of the
ships officers to handle the emer-

ported that funeral services were held

British War Surplus.

LONDON.-From the armstice to
March 81 this year the sales of surplus
government property. including raw
materials. amounted in the aggregate
approximately to f624.eS0,3O6, the Post
says. This great total was represented
by government property of a reliable
value of 1924, ,65S.553, and by raw mate
rials on trading accounts. including
wool, disposed of for t3Co. .O21. .773.
Sir Howard Frank, chairman of the
disposal and liquidation commission, in
an Introductory note to the report, re-
marks: Severe trade depression, labor
troubles, general monetary stringency
and the disturbed condition of foreign
exchanges seriously hampercd the work
of disposal during the twelve months
ended June 30 1921. 1t is common
knowledge that these disturbing cOndi-
tions have, to great extent, continued,
although. fortunately, during the last
few months there has been evidence, so
far as this department is concerned. of
a slight general improvement in trade
conditions.
With reference to the suggestion of
the Geddes committee that. block sales
should be effected wherever such a
course appears to be possible and eco
nomical. Sir Howard Frank points out
that this policy has been pursued by

large amount of work yet remains to be
done.
During the year several large fac
tories, including Gretna, Queensferry
and Lancaster, were declared surplus
and handed over for custody and
sale. In the case of Gretna it was
felt that every effort should be made
to sell the whole property as it stood
including it's power stations, OWE
ships. etc. No reasonable offer for
purchase as a whole has yet been re-
ceived. Unless such an offer is re-
ceived shortly it will be necessary

Fliyyervention.

LET me invade Mexico!" is the cry
of Henry Ford. His pacific fmagina-
tion envisages focks of -flivvers chug-
ging into the southern republic Ac.
customed for generations to jog about
on skinny bronchos, the Mexican Will,
on sight of the fiivvers, be moved
with a desire for possession. Ex-
plotting this desire, Henry will offer
each a job in his fcatory. Behold
peace in Mexico!
Even though of the making of fiv-
vers there be no end. is it not con-
ceivable that by increasing the motive
power of the Mexicans he will be in
creasing their restlessness? 1t Is a
notorious fact that the Ford has con-
tributed more to the nationwide
nervousness expressed In the phrases
Lets go somewhere" and Lets do
something" than any other single
factor except the war. What If this
should increase the range of the

BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, August 12.-Great Britain
intends to make a thorough study of
the little known land of Tibet, where
devil worship and belief in ghosts
still exist. y mission composed of
some of England's ablest explorers,
scientists, missionaries and ethnolo-
gistS soon will leave London for the
city OF Lhasa. which is buried be-
hind the worlds greatest rampant Of
mountains, the Himalayas. between
India and China. The mission will
proceed under the auspices of the
International Buddhist Union. repre-
senting all schools of Buddhism, in
Guiding the Buddhist Society of the
United States.
The mission will make a closer in
vestigation of the Tibetan people,
their customs. religion and language,
than has yet been possible. together
with a study of rare books and
manuscripts known to exist in the
monastic libraries. These are ex-
pected to prove of the greatest value,
not only to Buddhist scholarship and
to the study of comparative religion,
but to fill many gaps that It present
exist in the worlds knowledge of the
early history of country, which to
the present day is veiled in mystery.
The Tibetans live in mountain
level of the sea, which is 500 feet
higher than Mount Whitney, the
highest peak in the United States.
They have always proved inhospit-
able to foreigners and to the intro
duction of modern ideas. Little is
known of the origin of the people.
Local tradition has it that the pro-
genitors of the race were "a She
devil of the Himalayas" and an ape
from the plains of Hindustan.
The last foreigner in Tibet was an
American medical missionary, DR.. A.

the world. The people lead no

and his brothers.
DR.. Shelton found that the Tibetan
woman usually marries three or four
brothers, and in one case that came
under his observation a woman had
six brothers for husbands. The old
est brother is considered the father
and the other brothers the uncles OF
the family. Woman occupies a su-

high favor as table delicacies.
, Thousands of years of isolation
have paralyzed the progress of the

form of government exists. Offend
ers against the law are punished by
having their hands and feet amp9-
tated. When a Tibetan dies his BODY
is dismembered and fed to vultures.
