 PEKING, Dec 5-A woman, and alone, making her way north, through frozen Mongolia 1000 miles to Urga and Siberia, via auto, mule cart and camel; that is the new record which Mrs. Marguerite liar riscan is establishing. She left Pe- king October Il and, barring acci- dents, should reach the Trans-Si- berian line this month. Incidentally, Roy Chapman Andrews, the Amer ican explorer, just returned from these regions, where he said 1t was too cold and too stormy for further work.
 Captured by White" soldiers, shadowed by Japanese agents, ac- cused of being an instrument of the Soviet, Mrs Harrison in the Far East by her whirlwind trip through Japan, Manchuria, China and Mon golia, en route for Siberia. On a contract to write two articles a month for the International Maga- zine, she has managed to interview nearly every notable except the Boy Emperor and the Mikado.
 The great War Lord" of Man churia, Chang Tso-lin, seemed to take quite a fancy to her and stopped his work of army reorgan ization long enough to give several interviews. In the course of these he admitted the purchase of arms and ammunition from the Russians at Vladivostok He also let 1t be in ,ferred that any agreement signed without his consent between Russia and China would be opposed by him morally and to the extent of his hun dred odd thousand newly equipped troops
 When Mrs. Harrison arrived in Peking after many delays she was already we'll known Society hailed her as enigma and diplomats. off cials and Russian red and white, un- dertook to solve it with endless hos pftality.
 The accusations made against her in Truth were all the more inter- esting because their author, Mrs. Stan-Baker Harding, is the sister in-law of the Secretary of the British Legation at Picking. Such informa- tion SIS could be obtained from lega- ton circles was not favorable to Mrs. Harding. When Mrs. Harrison arrived she refused entirely to dis cuss> the matter.
 When in Japan she insisted on paving a visit to the much disput- ed territory on the northern half of Saghalien Island, this being the bone of contention between Mos COW and Tokio. She also crossed to the mainland to Nicholaievsk and was the first foreign journalist to secure directly the details of the late massacre. Fortunately she spoke Russian while her Japanese shaw ows did not. In the massacre some 700 Japanese civilians and soldiers were killed, although over 5000 Rus sians also perished. The assault was led by a Russian revolutionary fanatic. Japan demands an indem- nity and the Russians in Siberia flat ly refuse.
 From Nicholaievsk she made her way south via the Amur River boats and further by hand car with the Red" troops along the Ussuri Rail road. Near vladivostok she crossed from the "Red" to the White" lines and was promptly made prisoner of war by the latter. Upon being re leased she interviewed the command ing general, His Excellency Dieter ichs, who Is the latest Ruler of All the Russians"
 Thence she travelled to Korea viz small coastwise steamer and from there north again, through Man churia. stopping at Mukden for | chat with Chang Tso-lin.
