STOP PRESS NEWS MOUNT EVEREST. NEWS OF EXPEDITION. LONDON, May 21. In a copyright message from Camp No. 1 Mr Hugh Ruttledge says: “After careful consideration I decided to bring the whole party from Camp 3 for a short rest at Camp 1. The recent heavy snow renders the upper slopes of Mount Everest temporarily unclimbablo, and is likely to remain for from seven to ten days. Everyone is well except for ono or two sore throats, and will all be stronger for a week at the lower altitude. The meteorological department reports that a monsoon is approaching south of the Bay of Bengal. We are carefully watching Mount Everest, and shall again advance up the glacier when the snow shows signs of clearing. I estimate that owing to the good acclimatisation it will be possible to reach the summit in eight days from Camp 1.” ITALIAN AIR FORCE. A BOMBING ACHIEVEMENT. ROME, May 21.
