COCCOCOEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOESOOOOOOHOOOOOO OOOO OO ODOOOOOOCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS: Chinese And Tibetans War Over Village, Prize In 200-Year-Old Boundary Dispute By MORRIS J. HARRIS (ity Annociated Prens) SHANGHAI, March 8.—A 22@- year-old boundary dispute be- tween China and Tibet again has flared into active warfare, mark- ed by renewed slaughter and the laying waste of productive coun- try. “The battle prize in this long dispute is Batang, a Chinese-Tib- jetan village hidden in the moun- tains of extreme West China, some 3,500 miles west of Shang-} hai. Britain Once Took Hand As the maps show it today Bat- ang is in the Chinese province of Szechuan. The Tibetans for 200 years have been saying it is a part of Tibet. The ‘present warfare is an outgrowth of an attempted settlement of the dispute in 1918 when officials of the British gov- eommene took a hand in negotia- jtions that put Batang into Szechu- an. Tibetans say it must be a | part of Tibet. | The trouble has caused the clos- ing of an American mission sta- tion ingBatang and the departure of M. H. Ducan, his wife and three children for their home in East Liberty, Ohio. For the past 11 years Duncan has represented the Disciples of Christ mission, a branch of the United Christian Missionary so- ciety. Family Hid In Dugout When the Batang fighting start- ed afew months ago with an on- slaught by Tibetan horsemen swooping down from the very roof of Asia they fired on the mission station and hospital, virtually de- stroyed the place and forced the Duncans to live in a dugout for a month before they were allowed an opportunity to escape. After leaving it took them three months to get to Shanghai, their journey across the immense prov- ince of Szechuan being perilous and slow.
