SVEN HEDIN'S PART IN
CHINA REVOLT
Lends Cars To Both Factions
FORCED TO BREAK NEUTRALITY
MOSCOW:—^Retire? Why should I do that?" There was genuine astonishment in the voice of Dr. Sven Hedin, the eminent Swedish explorer who recently celebrated feventieth birthday in Nanking, China, after a year's arduous travel by motorcar through parts of Chinese Turkes- tan where no motorcar had been
before.
ant scientific facts, he manages above all to bring again to ite those ancient tribes and races which once lived in Central Asia, and to picture for his readers the rich pageant of whole civilizations, which now have disappeared.
Sister Is Chist Returning after more than three years' absence to Sweden, Dr. He- din has looked forward most of all to reunion with his sister Alma. Asked about his immediate pians, he explained, "They depend en- tirely upon my slater Alma, In Central Asia I have some in- dependence." But when I rejoin Alma, I am like a coille in her hands. She orders, and I joyfully
It is now 50 years since Dr. Ha- din conducted his first expedition Into Persia and Mesopotamia. Dur. ing this half-century he has con- tributed more than any other man to the world's knowledge of Cen- tral Asia. He has penetrated un- known parts of Khurasan and Turkestan, the Pamirs and Tibet. Mongolia and China. He has disobey." covered the masalve ruins of wa- known cities and traced great rivers to their sources. He has re- covered tens of thousands manuscripts and paintings which all great gaps in the history of Asia. He has mapped vast de-
Herts.
Dr. Hedin insisted that his sister 1s the rea leader of all his ex- peditions. "My work is compara- aftively easy," he said. "I simply travel about, but my sister is the organizer. She can do everything. When I need new assistants, she finds them and sends them to me. When I need equipment, she ar ranges that. Most important of all, she persuades people with money to give me some of it," and without money no expedition would be possible.".
But the suggestion that he might now "settle down" struck no sya pathetic chord in the great ex- plorer. "There are many things yet to be done in Central Asia" he declared. "A man is as old as he feels, and certainly I do not feel old. My head is full of plans, and I hope yet to carry most of then out."
Results Beat Plans Asked what some of his plans were, Dr. Hedin smiled. "Always I have had plans," he replied. "But I have never announced them un- tl I was ready to fulfill them. Do you not think it is better to dia CUBS results than plans? That bas been my method."
Moscow on Pausing briefly in his way from China to Sweden, Dr. Hedin admitted that his next few months will be busy ones. For one thing, he must write a book about his recent travels in Chi- nese Turkestan, where he madded 1W0 motor highways, between China and Sinktang which, if completed, will reduce the travel- ing time from three months to two weeks.
the
In Sintang Dr. Hedin involun- tarily played a part in the civil war between the Muhammedan general Ma Chung-in and Governor of Sinklang, Tseng Shi- chat... He encountered the Mu- hammedan general fust after his revolt had falled, and was asked for the "loan" of his motorcars.
Dr. Hedin is much interested in the Flower Fund" which his sis- ter has organized in Sweden. She has persuaded thousands that
when friends pass on, they should not send funeral wreaths. but in- stead should contribute to the "Flower, Fund,"
With these con- tributions, which are never large, eight model apartment houses have been constructed where hundreds of under-privileged persons live in ideal surroundings.
"This is a glorious work," said Ur. Hedin. "My sister's beautiful thought has made hundreds happy. and one cannot tell how far it may yet lead. What finer tribute can we pay to the memory of those whom we have loved?"

Berlin, Dec. 31.
The share market, which was qules for some days, brightened considerably on Saturday, the demand coming chiefly from, bank customers seeking good investment for idle capital.
Orders were plentiful, though in- dividually small but the aggregate was substantial so that the prices were firm all round, and in many cases advanced appreciably.
Among the chief" stimulating in- fluences WILS the satisfactory foreign trade figures for November and the confidence shown by the German railways in announcing a large issue of long term treasury bills.

Berlin, Dec 20. If on Friday's sharemarket the business was confined to a number of special stocks, then this quite what was to have been ex- pected, firstly because the sudden collapse of the peace negotiations reintroduces the element of great uncertainty, and secondly because the notice of the coming issue of 570 million marks of the German Raliway Treasury bills on attrac- tive terms, began taking up the of money available short term waiting for investment. The latter influence was even more strongly felt in the Fixed Interest Security market where for instance, Reich old liquidation loan declined to 109 2/8. Call Money was at 2 to 2.5/8-
