LAND OF DYING RACE PREY OFj THREE NATIONS Mongols, Once Terror of : Half the Earth, Only Shadow of Past. WAR CLOUDS HANG LOW Russia, China and Japan Gaze With Covetous Eyes on Country. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS, Scrlpp*-Hward Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.—The Mongols, once lords of half the earth, whose terror-scattering legions swept everything before them like chaff as far as the gates of Vienna, today are a dying race of weaklings, their very country a bone of contention for three nations. Part of Asia’s new Balkans, for the control of which another bloody International war yet may be waged, Mongolia lies just west of Manchuria, scene of the present guerrilla warfare between Chinese and Russian troops. Indeed, the last 150 miles of the Chinese eastern railway, over which the two countries are quarreling, runs through Its northeastqjp corner. China claims suzerainty over it, and both Russia and Japan tacitly agree to the claim, but it is autonomous. to aL intents and purposes, and Chinese control is entirely nominal. Like the rest of these Oriental Balkans, its fate remains to be determined. Conquered Chinese Foes It was the Mongol emperor, Ghengis Kahn, who some years ago launched his yellow horde against the Chinese; and 100 years later his grandson. Kublai Khan, saw the completion of the conquest and the establishment of Mongol rule over conquered China. Not only Asia, but Europe as well, quaked at the mention of the name, for a hardier, braver, or more ruthless race ftf fighting men never existed. They w'ere the worthy successors of the Huns. But Kublai wanted to civilize his people. Through Marco Polo, the great Venetian adventurer, and others, he heard of western world ideas and he started to introduce them to the fighting Mongols. It was the beginning of the end, however, of his race. For, denied the 100 Christian missionaries he demanded of the pope of that day. in a fit of pique, he encouraged Lama ism, a degenerate Tibetan form of Buddhism, to which his followers quickly adapted themselves. Laziness. indifference to all the affairs of this world, celibacy and general inactivity, with the idle monks of their religion as its ideal, slowly undermined the race, morally, mentally, physically and numerically. Only Remnant Left Today, occupying a territory approximately as great as the whole of that part of the United States lying east of the Mississippi, and once swarming with a vigorous fighting race, there were hardly more than 1.500.000 poverty-stricken monks and nomads left in the land, and their number is said to be shrinking steadily. Their ancestors once made the blood of Europe run cold, but now nobody gives them a thought, save when they run in packs, like wolves, and become dangerous to individuals or small groups of intruders. As border raiders, of course, they still could do mischief, but as a people, they stand doomed to eventual extinction. Who will succeed them as the masters of Mongolia only the future can tell. It may take a war to decide. Russia already is actively intriguing there and Japan plainly tells the world that eastern Mongolia, like Manchuria, is vital to the existence of that empire. That is to say no nation antagonistic to Japan ever will be permitted to become dominant there, even if Japan must fight to prevent it. China, on the other hand, claims Mongolia belongs to her, for. after being conquered by the Mongols, she absorbed them, just as she absorbed the Manchus after the Manchu conquest. boariTwill review INDIANAPOLIS TAXES State Commlsison Will Take l P Protests Next Week.

NAVAL PARLEY LEAKS STIR IRE Annoyance in Washington • Over British Publicity. Bu United Press WASHINGTON, Sept. 18—Plans to receive Premier MacDonald were being formulated today in an atmosphere of annoyance, apparently created by the British government’s unexpected revelation of secret details of the Anglo-American cruiser understanding. President Hoover and Secretary of State Stimson have not taken opportunities to explain MacDonald’s surprising statement that the American cruiser proposals, as received in London, look toward an increase, instead of limitation, of the authorized construction program. The Anglo-American negotiations have been accompanied by frequent evidence of pique on both sides of the Atlantic. During the last six weeks of discussion, the British embassy, the United Press is informed, received several sharp inquiries from London, demanding to know who was revealing secrets in Washington and why. Last Friday carefully censored outlines of the Anglo-American accord were passed to the press along with the prediction- of a five-power conference in December. London quickly* vetoed the December date and Washington’s prediction was altered to read January. After Stimson had subordinated the partially unsuccessful cruiser phase of the negotiations to the wholly successful capital ship phase, London chose to reveal the cruiser figures. Instead of the 305,000 cruiser tons, representing the maximum present American building program. President Hoover was stated formally to be demanding 315.000 tons of cruisers. ADDRESS HELD WRONG Woman Says Arrested Man Gave Incorrect Address. Mrs. Minnie Swonger, 112 North Traub avenue, today said William A.
