Peking Jan. S-Two important develop
nents to-day intensified the interest in the
situation in China. These were renewal
Of hostilities and the demand of the Rus
sian government that China recognize the
independence of Outer Mongolia.
Revolutonaries from Shan-si and shen-
81, having recaptured the town of Shen-
Chow, are advancing on Ho-Nan. while
reinforcements have been dispatched to the
imperialists. The armistice has not been
renewed, and there is a deadlock in the
peace negotiations; so that early fighting
may bs expected between the opposing
forces.
In addition TO requesting China to recog-
nize the Kutuktu Of Urgs as the monarch
OF Outer Mongolia, the Russian government
has notified China that the independence
Of Outer Mongolia must be recognized as
concerns internal affairs. The note adds
that Russia will assist the Mongolans in
maintaining order, and that she intends TO
build a railway from Kiakhta- Siberia. TO
Urga To this note China has as yet made
no reply.
To the other powers. however, the Chi
nese government to-day communicated the
substance Of the Russian demands. I'm
doubtedly a strong protest will be made
by the Chinese government against the ac-
ton of Russia, but China is unable to de-
fend herself now or in the future with
reference to Mongolia. Hereafter the
Desert Of Cobb Will mark the Chinese
boundary on the northwest
The statement that Russia will assist ir
maintaining order in Outer Mongolia prob
ably means that she will increase the num-
Der OF troops in that territory, which here
tofore have served merely as consular
guards II is believed that several railways
will follow the Kiakhta-Urga line and thai
much Of the country will be developed
Russia's permission to China to retair
control of fits external affairs is meaning
less. because there are virtually no dealings
with any country except Russia. The gen
eral opinion held here is that the Chimes
government really suffers nothing from th'
loss Of Mongolia, though Russia and th'
Mongolians Will probably be greatly bene
fted. Russia's position I'm Mongolia is nov
stronger than in Manchuria.
