WOOD. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Dally News. MOSCOW, August 29.—The_inclu- sion of a lieutenant in the British Army, the secretary of a British con- sulate, two persons whose names Mon- gollan officials could not ascertain, in Roy Chapman Andrews’ expedition, caused its expulsion from Mongolia according to a statement made todav by the Moscow representative of the Mongolian Republic. The explanation is embodied in a document entitled: “‘Declaration for correspondents of the American press from the Mongolian representative in Moscow given to the press section of the foreign office.” According to the statement, the ex- pedition entered the zone forbidden the Mongolian government and start- | ed making military and topographical surveys, announcing that anybody who interfered with the scientific work of the expedition would answer with his Jife. : “The activities of the expedition were far from scientific,” continues the report referring to the British per- sonnel, “and despite the insistent re- quests’ of the government to limit it self to scientific explorations. Conse- quently the government took the ex- traordinary measures of sending its members outside the frontiers.” ! The local deduction from the report is that Andrews, instead of limiting himself to antiquities did not forget the opportunities presented from pros- pecting for oil or minerals, or else he | became involved in the Mongolian | stage of Buropean political jealousies. | (Copyright. 1925, by Chicago Daily News €o.1 Rent Cases Called. | A.
