KAISER DISPLEASED
WIIHGERMANFLIERS
He Has Expressed His Disgust with
the Recent Manuevers Of
the Fleet.

Special Cable TO The Washington Herald
Berlin. Oct 2s.-The Kaiser is dissat-
isfied with the progress OF aviation in
Germany.
According to the Dresdner Neueste
Nachrichten, he has expressed to Grand
Admiral Won Tirpitz. the Navy Minister.
his entire dissatisfaction regarding the
work Of the naval airmen during the
recent feet maneuvers, in which neither
the aeroplanes and hydroplanes, nor the
airships, justified the expectations. The
flying work proved worthless from a
technical standpoint.
The Kaiser has not saddled Grand Ad-
miral Won Tirpitz with the responsibility
for the failure. but has expressed HIM
self very strongly about naval flying.
1t has been stated that the famous
sailor Is In disgrace, which Is not true.
Nevertheless. the Kaiser's stern warning
Is most unpleasant TO the man who ere
ated the German Navy.
The airship Hansa. which attempted to
ny from Hamburg to Heligoland to-day.
failed in consequence of the wind. and
was compelled to return to Hamburg.
Herr Birkmaier. a German aviator. fell
while flying at Hanover and died later

Paris, Oct s.-The band OF burglars

week has been subjected to a long In

his story. The burglaries cannot all be
placed to the credit of his gang; he only
wishes they could But there were other
Ruperts in the field. One night, when
he and his companions were operating
in a grocer's shop at Reuil. they saw the
door open slowly and four furtive fig
ures glide thither. Under the impression
that they had been surprised by the
police, they flung down their tools and
drew their revolvers, and things looked
ugly. The intruders also put their hands
to their weapons, when. by sort of
telepathy. the second band recognized
the mistake.
None of these tricks,' they cried.

ENGLAND Blundered

London, Oct. 26.-The feeling Is daily
growing stronger here that England COM
mitted a most serious blunder when she
linked arms with Russia in driving Nor
gan Shuster out OF Persia when, during
his short stay in that country, he had
given every proof that he was the man
needed to regenerate Persia and thus
create a powerful buffer state between
the Cars dominions and the Empire OF
India.
1t is not any particular sympathy with
Persia, which they really care nothing at
all about, that II responsible for the Eng
lish peoples condemnation Of Sir Ed
ward Gray's pro-Russian policy, but
rather a feeling of indignation at the
discovery that Russia, having MIXED her
French ally dry, Is now drawing millions
Of pounds out Of England every year.
The people Of England are very quick
to perceive things, but even . layinan
cannot help noticing that the number OF
Russian bonds . in England IL rather
alarming. Statenents made in the fore
most newspaper Of England, the Times,
show that in the course Of the last three
years one private firm OF bankers alone
has placed $5,0O0.0O0 worth Of Russian
bonds on the English market, and during
the same time nearly every largo city in
Russia has been borrowing enormous
smouuts here. Should anything happen
In Russia to-day, as, for instance, a gen.
eral political uprising against the gov
ernment. England would lose millions Of
Russian state securities, and II at such
Q time the Russian government should
find Itself Obliged to ask for pew loan
In order to fight an unruly democracy.
England would quickly raise the money.
and thus make common cause with ty-
rants against q nation struggling toward
political freedom, not because the In
vestment would seem . profitable one.
but because It would b. the only hope Of
saving the many millions previously in

Chicago, Oct. 14.-Reports received
by passenger traffic managers of rail-

cago and ST. Louis indicate that the
so-caIIed summer travel in 1917 was
between rs and 40 per cent under the
volume in 1911. Automobiles and the
poor crops in 1911 are. assigned as the
cause. In explaining the effect or the
automobile on railroad passenger
travel, the passenger traffic manager
of one of the leading western railroads
said:
IT was a guest at the leading hotel
in Colorado Springs last August When
1 went down to the dining room at
the dinner hour expected to see
every one arrayed, as usual, in din
ner dress There was scarcely man
or woman there who had dressed IN
the conventional fashion. Upon in
curry | learned they had reached
Colorado Springs by automobile. They
did not carry jewelry or fancy toys
with them.
Later that evening passed a place
where a large number of automobiles
had been parked. I noticed numbers
from Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and
other states. That the automobile is
a keen competitor of the railroads can
not be disputed"

AsIA's WORST DESERT.
TahIa-Makan Sand Crossed Once in
Thirty Years.

The Rev. zuicho Tachibana, a priest
of the great West Hongwanji temple
at Kyoto. returned to that place re-
Gently after five years spent in ex-
ploration in the virgin parts OF Cen
trail Asia. His journey was under
taken for purposes OF research under
the instruction of Count Otani, the
Lord Abbot of the Hongwanji tenn
pie, and an enthusiastic geographer.
Mr.. Tachibana is a. young man of 70
years of age, and of such delicate
physique that the natives said he must
be a woman disguised as man.
Mr.. Tachibana proceeded from
London to Omsk, and thence by stage
coach to Semipalatinsk; thence to
Turfan in Sin-Kiang (''the new terri
toryD passable roads were found.
During his explorations Mr.. Tachi-
bana travelled across the Takla-Makan
desert, which he describes as the
worst of all deserts of Central Asia.
Neither birds nor even insects are to
be found there.
The desert is a sea of sand where
there is only the wind to hear and
ly met sand mountains over $4,000
feet high, and the men began to
grumble, fearing that they would be
buried by the constant sand storms.
On arriving at Coma, on the right
bank of the River Tarim, he caused
herds, as his was the first party from
the south for thirty years. At first
the shepherds fled, but were brought
back. The feat of crossing the desert
caused greatest reverence by the
shepherds.
At this point he left the camel car
avian to follow on slowly, while he
proceeded on horseback to Kuchar,
which place he reached after three
days This is large town, though
not to be compared with civilized
cities. Nevertheless, said Mr.. Tachi-
bana, L felt on entering it as though
I had suddenly been put down in Pic
cadilly.'
Some time was spent in the neigh
borhood of kashgar investigating the
buried cities, and afterwards the ex-
plorer proceeded through the valley
to the east of Tzunling to Khotan. the
districts previously explored by Dr.
Stein (now Sir Marc AureI Stein).
Thence the party proceeded to Tibet
for the purpose of geological investi-
cation. oE+
Several districts were visited by Mr..
Tachibana, which had been omitted
by DR.. Sven Hedin. These regions are
absolutely blank on the maps, and
have never been visited before.
Among the relies brought back are
a Quantity of writings of the Wigol
tribes, by whom the Buddhist religion
was first introduced into .Sin-Kiang
and propagated throughout China
This tribe was entirely wiped out by
M ohammedan invaders. The writings
of the Wigols is from right to left
horizontally, and appears to have
been produced by reed pens. The
are on stones, papyrus and |
paper.
AS soon as the, records of the jour |
ney have been Scollated the Hong |

Mr.. Tachibana's, exploration, which |
will without doubt be eagerly antici- |
pated in scientific circles in Europe |
