National Commander OF the Dis
abled Veterans OF the World War.
sent this message to President
Harding:
THE entire membership Of the
Disabled American Veterans OF the
World War, comprising III, 900 dis
abied veterans, join me in prayer to
Divine Providence for the speedy
and complete recovery OF Mrs. Hard
ing. who has always been deeply IN
terested in che welfare OF the dis
abled"
Brigadier General Sawyer per-
sonally feels that the chances for
Mrs Harding's recovery from the
present attack seem extremely
good" a personal friend of President
Harding told the United Press
The gradual improvement which
had continued to up to noon has led
TO this expression Of confidence of
General Sawyer that she will pull
through this acute stage, this friend
said.
President Harding took a two
hour constitutional in the south
grounds of the White House with
VIII II. Hays, former Postmaster
General. This is the first time Mr..
Harding has stepped outside the ex-
ecutive mansion since his wife's con-
dition became grave.
Hays said both the President and
Mrs. Harding We're cheerful today,
and that the latter seemed to be
stronger and to be making slow but
steady gains.
Secretary OF War Weeks. among
the earliest callers at the White
House today left in an extremely
cheerful frame of mind.
Mrs. Harding had the best night
last night since her illness became
critical" said Weeks. Her temper
ature is getting back to normal. II
her condition continues to improve
as It did during the night her doc
tors will hesitate to operate"
other early morning reports from
the sick room were that Mrs. Hard
ing spent a quiet night, sleeping
much Of the time. and suffering
comparatively little pain. In some
respects Sunday night was the pa
tents best night since her illness
became critical. It was stated un-
officially.
Two official bulletins, issued at 3
p. m. and p. m. Sunday. told the
story OF the improvement which
began early Sunday morning and
continued throughout the day.
The first OF these said that dur
ing the early paH OF Sunday night
Mrs. Harding was restless and nerv-
Gus, but that late In the night she |
got to sleep, while physical appear |
ances indicated slight improve
ment." Her condition Il was re-
peated, was still critical.
The nine p. m, bulletin slgnih-
cantly omitted this gloomy state
ment which has been a part OF all /
previous bulletins.
This bulletin was the most cheer |
ful yet issued By DR.. Sawyer and /
said that Mrs. Harding's tempera- /
ture was 1905 or two degrees lower
than at noon; pulse 116 and respira-
ton SO.

just five times as fast as the

Towering above the frontiers of the
hitherto forbidden land OF Tibet and
the remote province OF Nepal, India,
another land Of mystery. the difficult
ties in even approaching Mt Everest
have been sufficient to bafie ex-
plorers.
The worlds highest peak lies in
Tibet north OF the British Indian bor-
der, yet, so far as known no Euro
peans with the exception OF the Bury
party have ever approached nearer
than 60 miles to its base and few
travellers have even seen its upper
slopes.
The attempts which have been made
to ascend Some Of Mt. Eyerest's sister
peaks OF the Himalayas have usually
been made through Nepal because ac-
cess to them through Tibet was not
then open. The approach to Mt
Everest through Tibet is said to be
more accessible and presents greater
prospects OF success than from the
Nepal side

Mount Everest Most Difficult
Of Peaks To Mountain Climbers

Mt. Everest, IN the Himalayas. the
highest peak in the world, has always
in the past interposed great obstacles
TO the few efforts OF intrepid adven-
turers even TO gain foothold upon its
slopes. Only one definite and organ
lied attempt ever has been made be-
fore 10 scale its sides and stand upon
its peak at an altitude OF approxlm-
ately five and one-half miles above the
level OF the sea. This was the British
expedition OF last year under Colonel
Howard Bury. which reached an alti-
tude of 10000 feet. or about 5000 feet
below the summit Bury's expedition
was compelled 10 turn back and the
work was taken M again this year by
another British expedition under
Brigadier-GeneraI Charles Granville
Bruce. Announcement to this effect
was made last year by Sir Francis
Younghusband. President of the Royal
Geographical Society Of London.
No peak in the world has presented
such difficulties TO mountain climbers
as Mt Everest These have been
political as well as physical for only
in recent years has It been possible To
approach Mt. Everest from the Tibe
tan side; the deop-seatcd objection OF
the people Of Tibet 10 foreigners pass
Ing through their country made II i'm
possible for any expedition TO take
advantage of the easiest route which
is through Tibet The Bury expedi-
ton, however, discovered what was
regarded rs the easiest way 10 the
summit before 1t had to turn back.
General Bruce, Sc years old. is a

ments and Of extensive experience in
