uing the orchestra.

stated, to see what will be done with
this new musical organization. Miss
Cryder declared now is the psychology
cal moment to go forward in the move
ment to continue the orchestra.
Miss Cryder reviewed the past season
of "a concerts, naming the principal

lied as wonderful" because Of their

FIGHT ICE
TO KEEP UP TRADE
Reds Refuse to Let Cold Cut
Off Siberia From World
Commerce.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Stain and his associates in the So
Wet Government are unwilling to let
the ice-blocked Arctic cut Northern ST.
IBERIA off from world trade.
For IL years Soviet Russia has sent
well organized trading expeditions
through the ice packs of the Arctic to
the mouths of the Oh and Yenisei
Rivers.
Through Barents Sea and Kara Sea,
trading vessels, assisted by icebreakerS
and observation planes and guided by
radio stations erected on islands along
the route. have made their way to the
two great rivers which drain an en-
pire of more than 100000 square miles
which is beyond the service of the rail-
way in Southern Siberia.
Vessels Transfer Cargoes.
River steamers operated by the gov
ernment gather the grain, furs and
other Siberian products and deliver
them to the mouths of the Oh and Ye-
nisei. F'reighters bound for the Kara
Sea, under government directions carry
farming machinery, clothing and house
hold supplies for the Siberians.
At Novy Port, near the mouth of the
OBJ, and at Ust. Yenisei Port and Igarka
Portok, near the mouth of the Yenisei,
the ocean-going ships and river ships
meet on August 10, and from then
until october 10 they work at trans
ferring their cargoeS. Ocean-going
ships then return to European ports
and the small steamers rush UP the
river to deliver cargoes before ice blocks
their passage.
Forty-siX ocean-going ships made the
dash through the Kara Sea in 1880, as
against three ships in 1924, and the in
surance rate was only one-fourth what
it was six years earlier, because of the
ice breakers, airplaneS and other scien-
tific assistance.
About half the steamers chartered
for this expedition are British, and-the
cargoes of Siberian products go chiefly
to England and Germany.
Gave Up the Battle.
In 1880 exports totaling 142,015 tons
were brought from the mouths of the
two Siberian rivers, while 16247 tons
of imports were delivered there.
The Kara Sea trip ceased to be the
adventure it was in the days when
ships made the dash on chance. and
often had only two weeks in which they
could make their way unassisted through
the ice.
In Czaristic days Moscow and Lenin-
grad Chambers of Commerce prevented
the government from entering into the
Kara Sea trade, as they did not want
other countries to get into direct trade
contact with Northern Siberia
AS far back as 1853 wealthy ST.

hshment Of trade routes between Eu-

MhNCHURIA is HELD
LAND OF PROMISE
Col. Smallwood Delivers First of
Series of National Geographic
Society Lectures.

Asia's Land of Promise, huge coun-
try wedged between China, Korea and
Asiatic Russia, land of soy beans and
minerals, and a land of mass migra-
tions-that Is modern Manchuria, or
Manchukuo, Lieut.. Col. H. st. Clair
Smallwood, former aeronautical adviser
to the Chinese government told the
members of the National Geographic
Society during an illustrated lecture
in the washington Auditorium Friday
night.
The lecture the first in the 1928
lecture course of the National Geo.
graphic Society, was opened by DR.. Gil
bert GroSvenor. president of the society,
who paid attribute to two of the origi-
nal Is scientists who signed the arti-
cleS incorporating the society in 1888,
and who have attended the first lee
ture of every season including the
present one, for 46 consecutive sea-
sons.
The two, now serving as trustees of
the society are DR.. c. Hart Merriam
and Dr. James Howard Gore. DR.. Gros-
venor invited the members of the So
ciety and their friends to visit the
eWly-completed addition to the socie-
tvs headquarters on Sixteenth street,
where a notable series of enlarge
ments of famous photographs taken by
staff photographers and explorers is on
view.
Col. Smallwood declared Manchuria
is still a land of vast but largely unde-
veloped natural wealth. The japanese
have opened large areas to agricultural
purposes. but the great rolling plains
that stretch out from the railway lines
have only been scratched. The soy bean
is the principal crop. 1t makes a nu-
tritious bread and it can also be mar
keted in China as a fertilizer in rice
growing regions.

wharveS of Darien, the busy seaport of
Manchuria, and then the film shifted

Among the most significant of the
films shown by Col. SmallWood were
few taken last year when Japanese
troops first moved into Manchuria. The
occupation of Mukden and the capture
of outlying villages revealed that the
Japanese troops move with the preci-
sion of Western soldiers. There also
were several shots of Chinese irregulars
