Iis position is anomalous and his wovernment is shaky, but before ‘the ssummer is up he will have to decide way or in the other, either natural counter-revolutionary or for that Hankow revolu- government he so flamboy- tly denounced last April. Meanwhile he has disarmed the labor and peasant unions throughout the territories he controls, and the to- tal deaths from these conflicts in Shanghal, Nanking and down the coast to Canton are said to have been well above a thousand. This fact would make it almost impossible for the Hankow government ever to ac- cept him back into the fold, for to do =0 would be to insult the labor unions which form Hankow’s support. Chiang logically, therefore, will be forced to join the other counter-revo- tutionary forces in China, or be elim- inated completely. The pretense at “Nationalism” cannot be kept up much longer, because there is not ac- tually any difference between his s and those of every other war 1 in China 92 all countries by North HURLED OVER CLIFF. Alpine Clubman Dies in Attempt to Glissade Down Glacier. RY, Alberta, August 6 (@), falcoim D. Geddes of Calgary, vet- n member of the Alpine Club of nada, was hurled 2,000 feet to his death Tuesday when he attempted to clissade down the Lefroy glacier, near Lake Louise. i 's attempted to check his flight ice pick was torn from hi hands and with terrific speed he was | carried over the ice ledge and pitched to the rocks and ice far below.

Under our agreement, all collections except those of an archeological char- ter will go to Sweden. I have good reason to believe that Sweden also will receive duplicates in the archeo- logical collections. The work is being done with per- fect harmony. The Chinese have given us entire liberty and we are proceeding without the least restric- tion. Any reports of opposition are entirely fictitious. I now enjoy great- er liberty and security than during any former journey. My co-director, Prof. Siu Ping Chang, is a noble, broad-minded, charming man. The other Chinese show us the greatest sympathy and our opinions regarding the routes and work to be done coin- cide in every detail. The relations between the Chinese and Europeans are most excellent, the Chinese mem- bers of the expedition being full of enthusiasm and their help invaluable. I have asked that two new Chinese students join us at Urumtschi. Chinese Plan Expeditions. They are already dreaming of suc- cessive expeditions to follow our jour- ney, and intimate that through the co-operation of Swedish scientific cir- cles the new China will {ake up the work. Our position is very strong, and if future expeditions should be granted the same conditions the Swedish ex- ploration of central Asia will pro- ceed with much greater speed than hitherto. Our Chinese friends and our- selves entertain the brightest hopes for the future. Discipline is exemplary. It is easy to lead an enterprise when every man does his duty with enthusiasm. I am advancing with my comrades as if to a feast which marks the climax of my life. All members of the cara- van, men and animals, the latter in- cluding tame antelopes, eagles, kan- garoos and rats, are in the best of health. Now we are cutting off all connec- tion with the outer world for six months. The Swedish flag floats above our city of tents and at the head of our caravan.
