dlplOndcy.
Washington. Dec. 2S.-Although not Of
fcialy Informed Of the purpose OF the local
authorities in Mongolia and Turkestan TO
declare the independence of those provinces
Of China to-day. the officials Of the state
Department were not surprised at the press
reports to that effect
Attention was directed to the fact that
with the exception of Chilli practically all
OF the Chinese provinces. save Mongolia and
Turkestan, already have declared their in
depence of the Peking government This
was done confessedly to get rid of the mo-
narchical machinery which has existed In
the provinces for the last three hundred
years and to clear the way for the realiza-
tion Of the ideal republic Of the Chinese re-
formers.
As TO the possible extension OF Russian
influence over the provinces Of Mongolia
and Turkestan and their probable ultimate
absorption by Russia, nothing is known
here, but every step taken has warranted
the confidence of the State Department in
the pledges given by the five powers inter
ested that they would act as a unit in
China and would seek to take no individual
advantage Of any developments, such as the
declaration Of Independence OF a province
at this time.

ton of the independence and autonomy OF
Mongolia, should be the aim OF Russian
diplomacy"
New-York tribune., 1911-12-29
No Cause for Alarm as Yet.

The attaches Of Japan and Great Brit
ain may he expected to watch events
clo7elv. but there will be no cause for
alarm until Russian troops cross the
Cobb Desert. The construction later OF
the Baikal- -Kalgan Railway might neces-
state the employment Of Russian troops
for protection, as was the case along the
Transsiberian Railroad in Manchuria
but that Is consideration for the
future. The present step is apparently
only diplomatic one in the Russian
programme of expansion, which did not
terminate with the Treaty Of Ports
mouth
Although the Russians announce their
desire that Mongolia shall continue as a
buffer state, the attitude Of the Mon
golian princes who assembled in PeHing
to-day depends entirely on circum-
stances. AS they are not able TO defend
themselves, they will probably accept
terms from the Peking government
whether monarchical or republican.

Gan 10 organize modern troops and take

tested against this. and the Chinese For

Russian demands. but has never fuI-
filed the promises As late as October
Tho Foreign Boards. written reply
cvaded Russia's demands.
The Russian Legation has contendHd
that the Chinese preparations necessi-
rated the maintenance by Russia OF
large and expensive military forces on
the Mongolan borders For the last
month. since the departure Of the chi
ucse Amban from Urga. the Russians
say. they have been subjected to various
annovances. which included the inter-
ruption of the Trans Mongolian tele-
graph lines 10 Europe. Russian troops
have been protecting Russian lives and
interests in Mongolia, but the Russian
government does not desire the continu-
ance OF the expense and the annoyances.
Furthermore. outer Mongolia is ad-
iacent to Russian territory. and Its in
tcrests are more closely related 10 Rus
sja than to China, the latter territory
being across the Cobb Desert. Russia
does not intend 10 declare protectorate'
and refused the Mongol appeal for the
establishment o prOtectorate last July
such a declaration might cause obJec-
,on bv the other powers. while, in fact,
something like a protectorate already
exists in the association Of Russian and
MongClian BuddhiStS.

HOW TO GRANGE
YOUR FACE
(From Fashion Reriew.l

(From Fashion Review
Tho painful dan. .gerous and expen-
sive operation known as ''face-peel-
ing is not necessary 90 accomplish
the results sought one can gradu-
ally and safely remove the old and
unbeautiful cuticle from her face
without pain, danger or da.cntion in
doors. Simply use ordinary merco-
lized wax. which can be obtained at
any drug store. Apply it for a few
nights like cold cream and wash il
off each morning The incredible in
the wax slowly absorbs the half-dead
outer skin, which flakes OF day by day
in fine, invisible particles. The fresh
young skin underneath soon blooms
forth radiantly. making the face look
years younger and much prettier
Employment Of this process is not no
ticeable to others. except that your
complexion improves rapidly.
OF course, the removal of the sur
face skin in this pleasant manner,
takes with it all facial blemishes, such
as chaps, freckles. moth patches, liver
spots. fine wrinkles. pimples, etc
Mercolized wax has oeen known for
years to many society women noted
for their beautiful and lasting COM
