rnd ---- October 15, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 13 TRAVEL IN SIBERIA? SAY, IT'S JUST FINE Miss Dorothy Lloyd of Wilmette, | Just Home From China, Tells of Her Journey Miss Dorothy Lloyd, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Stephen A. Lloyd of 1035 [Lake avenue, who recently returned home after an absence of several years | in China where she taught in a board- ing school for American children, comments in an extremely delightful vein regarding her experience in traveling from Peking, China, to Ber- lin by rail--a journey requiring four- teen days. A long, dreary journey, be- set by great hazard? Well, let us see. "When the unsettled conditions in North China made it appear advisable to close our boarding school for Amer- ican children until the autumn of 1928, and I announced my intention of re- turning to the United States via Si- beria, an American man told me that he understood there was a know that human beings ever used it," begins Miss Lloyd in her comment on the extended trip. "That was only the beginning of the misinformation and misrepresentation of Siberian travel which poured in from all sourc- es during the next three weeks. My most casual acquaintances would halt their rickshaws in the middle of Hata- men street, tell me the dangers that awaited a girl traveling alone through Russia, and urge me to book a passage across the Pacific. Only the fact that [ do not possess a naturally sweet and vielding disposition held me to my orig- inal plan, for when the time came to leave Peking, I really believed that I was setting forth on an adventure, and that, undoubtedly, I should be robbed, murdered, or imprisoned at least once a day. "The encouragement, information and helpful advice I received at the Soviet legation, was supposed by my friends, to be mere 'propaganda,' of the same sort of mistaken patriotism which led the officials of the Chinese weather bureau to report a temper- ature of only 98 degrees Fahrenheit, when all the English and American thermometers in Peking registered around 114 in the shade." Soldiers Play at Train-riding "Chinese train travel today is, al- most without exception, unpleasant, for soldiers ride free, and seem to have a passion for boarding one train after another and riding to the end of the line--indeed, many of them have little else to do," continues the narra- tive, "But from the Manchurian bor- der through Siberia with its unbroken miles of virgin forest, its blue moun- tains, undulating hills, and wealth of railroad | through that territory, but he did not | | wild flowers, past the dreaming shores | of Lake Baikal, and on to Moscow and the Polish border, the journey is | restful and delightful. The cars are clean and comfortable, the food ex- cellent, and while the roadoed leaves much to be desired, one seldom travels | faster than twenty miles an hour, and it is surprising how much this de- | creased speed contributes to one's comfort. To reach Berlin by rail from Peking requires fourteen days. "All the people in my car were Rus- | sian, and although I could not speak a word of their language, there was a little girl of ten who, in return for an occasional story about King Arthur's court, acted as interpreter and took as much care of me as though she had been my grandmother. Indeed, every- one seemed to feel a certain responsi- bility for me, and if I got off to buy wild strawberries, roast chicken or jam tarts from the peasant women at (Continued on Page 50) TERRES DID SHE GET WANTED To \2ATIS- KNOW WHERE ) FACTION A FRIEND CAN HURT A MAN A man can be satisfied without being con- tented.
