Dispatches from Moscow tell of Important archaeological finds among Russias buried tombs In the ancient ruined capital of Mongolia, Kharakhoto. The claim to the region by Russia and the apparent fact that it is at least sufficiently under Russian control to make scientific work possible by Russian archaeologists is interesting because the site of Kharakhoto is little more than a stones throw from Peking in a region long under Chinese dominance. A bulletin from the Washington 'D. f the National O.) headquarters Geographic society tells of the Mongols and their land. Kharakhoto was the sent of Mongol power during a . ery early period of their history which hitherto has been practically unknown. peo"What these ple may have been and done in the dim past has been obscured, in fact, by their strange boiling over in tbe Thirteenth century wtien Genghiz Khan with his cruel, invincible, rough-riderfrom their half barren plains, suddenly became the scourge of East and West alike, and eame much closer to conquering tbe world than even Alexander bad done. Kublal Khan, one of Genghiz early successors, who made Peking the Chinese capital nnd sat there on the Dragon throne, probably ruled over a greater territory than any man had done before or lias done since. Rut once out of the saddle where they were more export and more at home even than Cossack or American Indian the Mongols lost their power and after a century their tremendous empire was only a memory. So dramatic was this sudden rise and fall of the Mongols that it nnd the somewhat drub period since have gone for Mongol hhtory, and there lias been little Interest in what preceded their brief excursion into world dominion.

"One hint of the importance that the Mongols may have attained nt an early date is the worlds most extensive work of man, the great wall of China; for It was in an effort to keep their Mongol neighbors out that the Chinese began that tremendous rampart in 210 R. C. The ruins of Kliar-akhot- o are barely 50 miles outside the great wall nnd not more than 250 miles from Peking. The political pendulum has made frequent swings In Mongolia In late It had been recognized ns a years. province of China for ninny years when, in T012, imperial Russia obtained a treaty recognizing its autonomy nnd granting concessions to Russia.
