RUSSIA'S ROAD INTO CHlNE
MONGOLIA ls Land Of MaenIficence
OF Middle Ages Mingled
With Squalor.

When the humping tarantass rolls
across the Chinese frontier into Mon
golia 1t enters a kingdom OF the mid
die ages flung down into the twenu-
eth century.
Feudal princes. lords Of armies
weaponed with spear and bow, tax
and drive to the corvee their nOmad
serfs. A hierarchy OF priests. whose
divine head lives in palace at Holy
Urga, sways the multitude Of supersti-
onsteeped Mongols. and receives the
homage of pilgrims vending their way
from the Volga. from Tibet, from all
Mongolia, to their Canterbury OF La
naism.
In PROSTATE devotion the penitents
girdle the Sacred City. before whose
bowels beggars dispute with dogs
their common nourishment, and in
whose compounds princes of the race
Of Genghis Khan, with armies OF re-
tainers, live bedless. bathless, light
less, in the felt huts of their race.
Squalid magnificence and good
humored, kindly hospitality are linked
TO utter brutality. Sable furs and
silks cover sheepskins worn until they
drop from the body.
Here and there among the natives
. Chinese trading caravansary, alien.
walled, peculiar, stands as Of old the
Hansat0wn, with merchant guilds and
far-brought caravan goods.
The Russian advance has been al
ways eastward, toward an ice-free
port on the Pacific. Cut of by the
Japanese. the one outlet now for Rus
sia is through Mongolia. striking
straight for Pekin and the heart Of
China.
! This Is the century-old road Of the
Itea trade. Here is the shortest route
from Europe to the East. Here.
through the defiles and the broken
foothills Of the Cobb plateau, lies the
future redemption Of the great unfet-
tered land route to north China.
The Chinese are themselves advanc-
Ing to anticipate 1t. They have al
ready built into Kalgan. To this trad.
ing center across the pale a Russian
railway may yet pass, and her colo
nists make fruitful the unpeopled
wilds OF Mongolia.
A way Of adventure and strange
ness, where the years turn back, Is
this old road OF the Golden Horde,
leading down past the ancestral
homes Of the Turks to the Great Wall.

On one occasion when Dickens had a

been a great lover Of literature, but
