Ancient Enemies Of China Guard Northwest Border Of Manchukuo An Ally Of Japan On Watch By JAMES A. MILLS (By Associated Press) CHANGCHUN, Manchukuo, Jan. 13.—The age-old contempt of the Mongols for the Chinese has been invoked by the Japanese to pre- vent further rebellion in the far northwest of this new state of Manchukuo, The Japanese, as defensive al- lies of the regime of Henry Pu-Yi are reorganizing the northwestern country following the fight of the insurgent Chinese general, So Ping-Wen. In this reorganization the Mon- gol princes have been given a large share. The districts on both sides of the Great Khingan mountains have been formed into a new prov- ince, called Khingan, which is fur- ther subdivided into three districts, northern, southern and eastern. The northern district, corres- ‘ponding to the Barga region west of the mountains, with its capital at Hailar, is the most important. Prince Ling Sheng, most influ- ential of the Mongol leaders, has been made chief executive of this northern district and Mongol mili- tary patrols are policing the area. The Japanese military authorities announce they will keep small garrisons for a time at Hailar and Manchuli, but eventually the en- tire police duty will be given to Mongol troops. The Mongols, still largely nom- adic, number approximately 1,000,- 000 along the western frontier of Manchukuo. In recent years they jhave been forced northward and westward by the steady encroach- ment of Chinese farmers on their pastures. Their bitterness toward the Chi- nese led the Mongol princes to be- come cordial supporters of the “in- dependence movement” that fol- lowed Japaneses occupation of Manchuria. Prince Ling Sheng and other. potentates have been mong the chief promoters of Man- ehukuo. . Besides the Barga tribes there MISS M. PARKER MADE MEMBER OF RELIEF COUNCIL WILL BE PLACED IN CHARGE OF CONSERVATION OF NAT- URAL RESOURCES; FAMI- LIAR WITH PLANT LIFE Miss Mollie Parker has been ap- pointed as a member of the Mon- roe County Emergency Relief Council and will be in charge of the conservation of natural re- sources. ° A lover of nature, Miss Parker has devoted much of her time to the study of the plant life in Key West. Watching the operations of some of the workmen who are em- ployed in the beautification pro- gram, she found on a number of oceasions that valuable trees were jbeing cut down, This careless destruction of tree life will cease at once, Miss Parker states. She will visit all of the local- ities where the work is being car- ried on and will personally give in- structions as to which trees are not to be removed. In this supervision of the work all of Miss Parker's instractions are to be ‘obeyed and those who have selected her for this specializ- ed branch of the program, know that the conservation idea will be thoroughly carried out. Dram And Bugle Corp: To Meet This Evening The regular weekly meeting of j { ! ; 1 tary Drum and Bugle Corps will jbe held tonight at the hall on | Petronia street. The session is eocccccccbeoccccce Japan has enlisted the support of nomadic Mongols to keep down incipient Chinese rebellions in the northwest section of Manchukuo. Here is a sturdy Mongol trooper, rifle ready, as he patrols on camel tare several strong banners in what és now southern Khingan and Jehol. The Japaeses are allowing these leagues to retain their traditional organization, thus gaining their loyalty for the Manchukuo experi- ment. In addition to the Mongols living 1,500,000 in Outer Mongolia, which has been a soviet socialist republic since 1921. Recently there have been reports of a nationalist movement in Out- jet Mongolia aimed against Moscow in Manchukug territory, there are; back the bleak country near:the Siberian frontier of the new state. soviet rule have come from dubious domination and encouraged by the lamas, priests of the form of Bud- dhism which for centuries has been the racial faith of the Mongols, Lamaism has been largely sup- pressed by the red regime at Urga, but there are evidences that the lamas yet may reunite the rem- nants of Genghis Khan’s tribes. The Japanese regard the possi- bility of such developments with equanimity. Thus far, however, re- ports of Mongol rebellion against sources.
