Washington.—Plans for one of the most comprehensive and most completely equipped expeditions of modern times were disclosed when Dr. Gilbert Grosvenor, president of the National Geographic society, announced that the society will co operate with Georges-Marie Haardt of Paris In sending out eight cat erpillar cars, with scientists in a dozen fields, to span 5,000 miles of least-known Asia, from Beyrouth (Beirut), Syria, to Peiping (Pe king), China, and then return across 8,000 miles more of a south ern route. JI. Haardt came from Paris to Washington to complete arrange ments with the society to send a representative with the expedition, whose other personnel will be en tirely French, and which will have the approval of the French govern ment and specific missions from France’s ministry of foreign af- fairs. Large Personnel of Scientists. The patron of the expedition In France is Andre Citroen, lifelong friend of M. Haardt, and benefac tor of many scientific projects, who also gave his support to M. Haardt’s famous expedition which traversed Africa and first crossed the Sahara desert in motor cars. The Trans-Aslatlc expedition, with the National Geographic soci ety co-operating, will take the field in March, with its eight caterpillar cars, each carrying a trailer, con veying a personnel of 35 men, in cluding specialists in geography, archeology, ornithology, botany, ge ology, anthropology and other branches of science. It plans to start from France's westernmost Asiatic territory, in Syria, traverse Iraq, Persia, Rus sia, Turkestan, Sinklang and China, turning south at Peiping for the long trail down to French Indo China. Thence, from Saigon, it will return through Siam, Burma. India, Baluchistan, Persia ami Arabia. In that journey it will ey.

Two cars will be devoted to the taking one of tlie most compre- henslve geographic vocal motion pictures ever made, The scenic wonders of Innermost Asia, the cus texts and the costumes of its peo pies will be photographed, both by the black-and-white and the color camera; and native dialects, songs, chants and rituals will be preserved In sound records. Each trailer will carry tents, cots, camp chairs and a camp table for the personnel assigned to its car. One of the cars will be an auto kitchen, equipped for quick service when tlie explorers halt for a meal. The expedition will carry a radio sending station which at all times will keep in touch with Paris; and this sending station will be utilized by the National Geographic soci ety’s representative 111 filing dis patches to the society's headquar ters in Washington. Fill Blanks on Weather Maps. Among the technical studies to be made by members of the expo dltlon will be those dealing with meteorology of areas which now nr blank spaces on world weather maps. Magnetic observations will be made. An artist will supplement photographic studies with sketches of ethnographic value. Another will specialize in collecting objects of ethnological rnterest since the ex pedition will be traversing areas where some of the earliest phases of mankind’s history transpired. Georges-Marie Haardt, leader of the expedition, has been called the "Motor car Livingstone of France,” because of the amazing expedition he previously led through 15,000 miles of deserts and jungles in Af rica. Upon that trip he vsed cat erpillar tractors and automobiles, taking eight months to go from Al geria across the Sahara desert, around Lake Chad, and through the Belgian Congo to Mozambique. Some of his cars wore then trans ported to Madagascar and he ex plored the Interior of that Island.
