Daisy in Harbin

Captain Daisy, the French Ace, is now back again in Mukden where he is expected to remain two or three days. It is generally understood that the flyer is returning to France by the next Siberi and that he will ship hi home, though there is a report going the rounds that he is going to try and beat his own record and will fly again across Russia to Paris and attempt only to make three stops en route, It appears that Daisy was refused permission by the Soviet authorities to fly direct to Peking from Vershni-Oudinsk vid Urga ang Mongolia. Doubtless the Soviet, have no wish that the flyer should get any insight of the activities of the Red troops in Mongolia at the resent time or that he should sec of the assistance being given to Gen-ged eral Feng Vu-hsiang by the U.S.S.R. It is reported that his crop! was fired on more than one when crossing Siberia, By the new regulations all foreigners living in Harbin must pay taxes on the same basis as the Chinese.
