M0NGOLIAN OUTLAWS CONTROL
ANIMPGRTANT CHINESE TOWN

HAILAR, Manchuria, September s.
Officials of the Russian government
are endeayoring to induce the Mon
COLON outlaws who have seized this
city to abandon their depreciation and
return to Mongolia.
For more than two months the Mon
golians have been in virtual possession
of this large municipality. They have
not interfered with the trans-Siberian
railroad and property in the railway
zone, but their occupation has STOP
ped all business within and the town
has interfered seriously with the de-
livery of hides, wool and other prod
ucts which normally are shipped in
large quantities from Hailar.
NJ Grave, the counselor of the Rus
sian legation at Pekin, is here nego-
tiating with the outlaws, and hopes
to induce them to return to Mongolia.
Foreigners have. not been interfered
with to any extent by the Mongolians,
but Chinese and Chinese property are
absolutely under their sway.
The invading party numbers about
five thousand. When they first arrived
here they carried the red flag of the
Russian revolutiopists, and declared
they were in sympathy with the re-
publican movement in Russia. When
the Chinese boy emperor was put back
upon the throne in China, the outlaws
announced they were Chinese monar-
chists and flew the yellow flag of the
monarchy over Hailar They are now
flying the red and yellow flags to-
gether, and profess to believe that the
boy emperor is still on the Chinese
