LONDON-An old-world caravan
route. north from Peking, China, over
mountains, past the ancient wall Of
China, across the 700-mile desert of
Cobb and through the foothills of the
eastern Altai Mountains or down the
Selenga river to Verkhne- Udinsk is
the only comparatively free way into
Siberia and Russia from the Far East.
It is the route taken by an Associated
Press correspondent in recent trip
across Russia.
Although involving great Difficult
ties in travel. the cross-country trip
is TO be preferred to the Trans-Si
berian railway zone through north
eastern Manchuria, for there faction

cossacks, peasant revolutionists, free
hooters and bandit chiefs-has kept
the country in a state of constant un-
rest since the comparatively orderly
state OF affairs which ended with Ad-
mral Kolchak's complete downfall
during the fall Of 1919.
From Peking the traveller may 90

and furs from the north, and reload
with tea for the nomadic desert tribes
Of Mongolia and for Siberia. Before
the decline Of trade with Russia, camel
caravans numbering thousands in
each left Kalgan weekly for the
month trip across the desert. Cara
vans numbering several hundreds of
camels in each continue to make the
trip. In crossing the desert the
traveller passes several of these
slowly moving caravans daily.
But twentieth century commerG u
progress and American business
methods have entered into competi-
ton with the camel carriers across
the desert In 1917 an American
business man in Kalgan drove a small
American automobile up the steep
Kalgan pass to the level of the Mon
golian plateau, across the COBB desert,
and into the sacred Buddhist city Of
Urga. Shortly afterward regular
communication by automobile was es-
tablished across the desert.

ness establishme ents and by the
Chinese government make the trip

of the Buddhist priests of Mongolia,
IS himself the proud owner of an
American motor car.
From Urga the route to Siberia is
over the low ranges of the kentei
mountains. The usual method of
travel is by the Russian conveyance
known as a "tarantass" a vehicle not
unlike the old American stagecoach.
The country between Urga and
Kiakhta is infested by native bandits
and with Chinese brigands who have
deserted from the Chinese and cos
sack armies and taken to the free
life OF the hills.
Kiakhta and Troitzkosavsk on the
Siberian side of the boundary, with
the Chinese city of Mi-ma-sen, form
the once prosperous trade center of
southern Siberia. In the DAYS of
great commercial activity between
China and Siberia 'tea millionaires'
men who made fortunes from one
successful caravan trip from the
south, were as numerous as the war
millionaires Of today. The glory Of
Kiakhta, however. like that Of the
caravan owners of former days, has
passed during the years of revolution
and civil war in Siberia, and life in
the border city is as in the other parts
of Siberia, daily struggle for the
fundamental necessities of life, food
and clothing.
A days trip down the swift-fow-
ing Selenga river takes the traveller
to Nerkhne- Udinsk, most westerly
headquarters of American troops of
the recent Siberian expedition, and

railway into Russia proper again is
