TOUR OF WORLD BY AIR

AMERICAN AIRMEN’S VENTURE.
By Telerraph—Press Assn.— Copyright. Calcutta, Jan. 11.
The American airmen Richard Halliburton and Moye Stevens, who are touring the world, made an unsuccessful attempt to fly over and round Mount Everest.
They reached 18,000 feet ten miles from Everest but were forced to return owing to the rarifled atmosphere and the strong wind from Tibet. The airmen approached within two miles of Kanchanjanga. They are this week continuing their tour, which will take them by way of Burma, Malaya, New Guinea and Australia. ' - . ■ —
