Chinese Horseshoers Take No Chances.
“Prepared by National Geographic Society,
Washington, D. C.)—WNU Service.
FTER ten montns of arduous
traveling, thirty members of
the Citroen-Haardt Trans-Asi-
atic expedition have arrived at
-Peiping, in seven tractor cars.
Twelve of the thirty members of the
expedition who arrived at the Chinese
“eity left Beyrouth, Syria, on April 4,
"1981. To them the gates of Peiping
“marked the end of an 8,000-mile jour-
‘ney across Asia.
From withering heat of the deserts
“of Asia Minor and the plains of north
“India where the thermometer registers
‘up to 120 degrees above zero, the ex-
pedition slowly worked its way over
"the Himalayan range, across the tor-
‘wid trails of Sinkiang (Chinese Turk-
~@stan) and into Mongolia, where the
“mercury hovered below zero.
The light tractor cars of the expe-
dition swept across Iraq, Persia, Af-
Fghanistan and India with little diffi-
Tully. At Srinagar, the members gird-
“ed themselves for the herculean task
®f negotiating the passes, to Gilgit
“mere trails which never before had
felt the vibration of a motor. When
‘Gilgit, in the heart of the Himalayan
‘peaks, was reached, the sturdy cars
had skirted some of the world’s high-
“est peaks, passed through gorges
where the road literally hangs to steep
“cliffs aud crossed flimsy bridges which
"spanned raging streams. Landslides
“forced route changes and once the
“dismantling of the cars which were
“carried by coolies to. the clear road
“@ mile beyond.
One pass negotiated by the expedi-
«ion was nearly: three miles ahove sea
devel. Bevond Gilgit, the impassable
"road forced abandonment of the cars:
"Ponies. and yaks carried the leaders
"of tire expedition into Sinkiang where
“they were met by. the second unit of
“the. ‘expedition, composed of heavy
“tractor cars which had left Peiping
“when the leaders bade farewell to Bey-
irouth.
Gilgit ‘trail, once the lair of bandits,
‘vas peaceful, and political. leaders
“often feted the expedition leaders. Not
"antil the expedition: reached China
“was' it disturbed by marauding trihes-
‘nen; who stole their supplies. From
‘day to day the leaders could receive
‘mo definite assurance of their safety,
Through Nankow Pass.
‘Wild mountain ranges hemmed in
“ghe old caravan road on the last hun-
«dred miles of the trip, and rocky de-
files made difficult going for the band-
‘driven. cars. In Kalgan, a quaint
‘medieval city known as the Gateway
"to Mongolia, preparations were made
‘for passing through Nankow pass, a
"remarkable Thermopylae fifteen miles
“in length. This great defile drops from
“the first terrace of mountains to the
‘plains of north China. It was first
“opened up, according to legend, by
“deities known as the Five Tiger
"Ghosts, patrons of artillery, who blew
‘a passage through the rocks with their
‘¢annon,
The inner branch of the Great Wall
“of China crosses the caravan road
squarely in the pass but the members
of the expedition found that the great
“wooden gate, which used to be closed
‘at sunset only to reopen at daybreak,
Was disappeared. The caravan route
<ould not be traveled by ordinary ve-
fhicles, Between Nankow pass - and
'Peiping the expedition rolled near
“China's sacred way, leading to the
‘thirteen tombs of the Ming dynasty, a
Wrest roadway lined with gigantic
wmonolirhs of men and animals.
Another difficult stretch experienced
‘thy the party en route to Peiping was
‘that ‘between Liangchowfu and Ning-
wsiafu, in China's “Wild West.” Because
‘of extremely narrow and hazardous
‘roads, traversed mostly by camels,
‘donkeys and coolies, more than six
*days were required to make 300 miles,
‘Motor progress was also interrupted
"by a long ferry trip along the Yellow
iriver.
“Arrangements had been made for
lithe deposit at Ningsiafu of new trae-
t¢or bands, which serve instead of
‘wheels on the expedition’'s cars. On
arrival, however, it was found that the
bands had been taken by brigands
while on their way to the city from
“Peiping. Two ‘camel caravans carry-
{ing supplies for the expedition were
'plundered by ‘rebels in this part of
‘China. The expedition itself was not
:attacked, and the members were hos-
“pitably received by some Chinese offi-
«eials and by foreign missionaries.
Scientists acompanying the expedi-
zion have a unique and comprehensive
urecord of life, customs, occupations,
and costumes of tribes and regions
which have been little visited since
Marco Polo's time,
Original ‘plans for the continuation
Tractors Across Asia
of the expedition called for a turn
Southward from Peiping through
China, and a swing through southern
Asia to Syria, but the disturbed state
of affairs in China necessitated the
shipment of the tractor cars by boat
to French Indo-China. The return trip
will be made via French Indo-China,
Siam, India, and Persia to the start-
ing point, Beyrouth.
What One Sees in Peiping.
Peiping is a “city within a city.”
As one passes within the walls he
expects to find bannered signs of shop-
keepers; instead he beholds broad
avenues three miles long, making
squares as regular as those of a check-
erboard.
Then the visitor begin to suspec
that Peiping is the one spacious Chi-
ese city because it is not a Chinese
city at all, but a Tatar city, built by
adventurous barbarians of the north.
The Chinese portion of the city, dat-
ing back to 1543, is the commercial
center. The Tatar city is about three
hundred years old, and it is the Tatar
city which includes the famous “For-
bidden City,” of which the Dragon
Throne of the Son of Heaven, Emper-
or of the Middle Kingdom, is the cen-
ter.
The famous throne is of rare wood,
exquisitely carved. Behind it is a
screen of golden lacquer so dainty In
design that it seems a bit of filmy lace.
Around this throne room are the pal-
aces, shut in by purple walls.
The streets of Peiping reflect the
city’s infinite variety. Every thorough-
fare is alive with beasts and vehicles
and humans.
Imagine a city where camels go u,.
and down the streets upon legitimate
business, not in a circus parade! The
visitor strolls along Hatamen street
after breakfast, and there they are, on
their knees, blinking in the morning
sun—fine shaggy, brown beasts, an oc-
casional white one—rather dirty white
—among them, chewing their cudg in
leisure. The pavement . before the:
shops whither they have carried mer-
chandise has been their caravansary
for the night. There are dozens upon
dozens of them lining the sidewalk, up
the street and down.
By and by the drivers come forth
throw their empty sacks between the
humps of the animals, rouse them, and
lead them off down the street, slowly
and softly stepping, In single file, out
beneath the great stone arches of the
Hata Gate, then westward beside the
frowning buttresses of the city wall.
Carts Drawn by Queer Animals.
Almost as fascinating as the camels
are the cdigs of Peiping; or rather the
little beasts. which pull them—ponies,
donkeys, mules, and nondescript, elus-
ive creatures ‘that are neither horse,
mule, nor ass, <but ‘subtle, indistin-
guishable mixtures. On first sight one is
sure they are horses, on the second he
ig sure they are mules, on the third he
is equally sure they are zebras with
the stripes worn off. One historian of
China speaks of the ancient Tatars as
possessing horses, asses, mules, and
“other peculiar breeds of the equine
family.” These ancient other breeds
still trot about the Tatar city.
The city’s shopping district stamps
an overlasting impression upon the
traveler. It lies beyond the Legation
quarter outside the huge Chien Men
gate. This is the Forty-second street
and Broadway of Peiping and rich
stores are grouped beyond it in a dis-
trict known as Chien Men Wef or out-
side Chien Men. Each street is given
over to dealing in its own special ar-
ticle. Lantern street, Silk street, Sil-
ver street, and Furniture street tel}
by their names what is the main ob-
ject of trade. There are, however, fur
stores, bazaars for the sale of jade ang
precious stones, tobacco shops, restau-
rants and banks scattered throughout
the vast area. In addition theaters
and places of amusement have been
added for the entertainment eof both
merchants and public. The whole
forms a seething district of narrow,
crowded streets, strange smells, and
barbaric splendor,
Let the recent arrival at a Legation
quarter hotel step into a rickshaw and
utter the magic words “Chien Men
Wei.” The delighted rickshaw coolie
grins with glee and breaks into an in-
stant gallop. He knows that accord-
ing to immemorial custom he can ex-
tract from shopkeepers 10 per cent of
the sales price of all articles purchased
by his passenger. Tt is part of the
“squeeze” system by which China has
been run governmentally and commer-
cially for centuries. Of course, actual
transfer of cash is never seen by the
passenger, He just knows it goes on,
as he knows the earth moves.
BELLEFONTE ACADEMY
MUST HAVE MORE MONEY
TO REOPEN IN FALL
years of educatonal service to the
youth of Bellefonte, Centre county and
other parts of this and neighboring
states, during which time it has
brought thousands upon thousands of
dollars to local businesses, will be un-
able to re-open its doors to students
this fall unless it receives financial
| assistance.
| Prof. James R. Hughes, Headmaster
of the Academy, conferred with the
Keystone Gazette this week in regard
to the crisis which the institution now
die” should satisfy everyone that his
appeal for financial aid is not made
without adequate cause. The Academy
like many other preparatory schools
throughout the country, has had con-
siderable losses during the business
depression.
Mr. Hughes declares, and we believe
him, that it causes him a great deal
of embarrassment and humility to be
compelled to ask financial assistance
from people of this vicinity. This he
must do, however, and since the Aca-
demy has been a benefit and a credit
to Bellefonte and Centre county in
more ways than one it is only proper
and patriotic for those individuals who
have the money to consider carefully
the strictly business proposition which
Mr. Hughes presents herewith :
Do we desire to have the historic
Bellefonte Academy continue its noble
work?
After forty-seven years of happy and
successful efforts in the interest of
education, it is, indeed, humiliating to
be compelled to make this public ap-
peal for financial assistance in this
most critical period of the Academy’s
long and interesting history. The re-
fusal of banks and loan corporations
to lend any sums of money, the diffi-
culty experienced in negotiating notes
and our inability to collect many good
bills long overdue—these conditions
have made it impossible for the local
Academy and many other private
schools to financier successfully dur-
ing the past two years. Several schools
failed to resume operations last Sept-
ember.
Most schools began the current year
with greatly reduced enrollments;
some opened with only a 50 per cent
enrollment. Since the opening last
September, scores of boys have been
compelled to withdraw from private
schools because their parents were un-
able to raise the necessary funds.
Because of this fact a conference of
headmasters of prominent scheels was
held recently in Harrisburg to diseuss
plans for next year. It was deemed
advisable to curtail the expenses for
next year in every possible way. It
was decided that all teachers must be
dropped at the end of this present
year who could: possibly be dispensed
with and. those whom the headmasters
elect to continue next year must ac-
cept a reasonable reduction in salary.
The Bellefonte Academy and many
other schools of its type are facing
good sized deficits in June.
The crisis is on. It appears to be
up to the citizens of our town and
county to decide . whether the local
Academy that has started ‘hundreds of
young men and young'ladies on their
way to successful careers: and has
brought hundreds of thousands of dol-
lars to our community, is to go on with
its noble work. The money spent by
the Academy folks has been distribut-
ed in reasonable proportions among
our good farmers of Centre County
and the business and professional men
of Bellefonte. At least fourteen-fif-
teenths of all money received from the
students has been spent in Bellefonte
and Centre county. We have been
making a hard effort for two years to
make a loan that would help us over
come the disadvantages of the finan-
cial crisis, but we have utterly failed.
It may interest the readers of this pa-
per to know that after negotiating for
several years for the sale of the Aca-
demy property, we
with splendid financial backing who
really wanted to purchase the property
and would have done so during the
year just closed had it not been for the
distressing financial conditions pre-
vailing.
The sale will be consummated as
only temporarily delayed. When. the
property does fall into the hands of
men able financially and otherwise to
make the Academy a more attractive
and prosperous educational institution
than ever, the Academy management
will be able to pay off every penny of
its loans and other indebtedness.
Until that happy day arrives, we
must appeal for aid in a business fash-
ion to keep things moving. The citi-
zens of this county surely do not want
to see the Academy closed and we do
not want to lose our property after the
many years we have devoted to its de-
velopment, that have made the old
school well known, North, South, East
and West.. Now, what do we ask of
the friends of this time honored inst1-
tution? ’'Tis this—we most earnestly
entreat those financially able, to of-
fer immediately loans ranging from
$100 and upwards, at six per cent in-
terest; citizens may have money in
banks, drawing a much smaller rate of
interest.
Such small loans will bring increas-
ed revenues to those who lend and will
in the aggregate mean a sum suffi
cient to satisfy our creditors and en-
in the Academy to open in Septem-
er .
Every loan will be paid back with in-
terest, as soon as the sale will be con-
sumated I appeal to those interested
and financially able to help to com-
municate with me at once,
Please give the appeal prompt and
worthy consideration, for the situa~
tion with our Academy and many oth-
er schools is a most critical one. Those
institutions that can successfully pass
through this crisis will have prosper-
ous years ahead.
