Inner Mongolia was the bloody scene of a furious contest between Generals Tang Yulin and Liu Kwei-tang, reported in dispatches to have devastated the eastern part of the Province of Chahar. But was not this, after all, their "private war"? The Council of Generals took that view. Generalissimo Chiang had neatly solved, they felt, the larger issue presented when Mongol generals under Prince Teh Wang raised the standard of Inner Mongolia for Inner Mongolians (TIME, Oct. 23). To Inner Mongolia the Nanking Government thereupon sent an envoy who ''granted local self-government," but persuaded the Inner Mongols...
Between Manchukuo and Outer Mongolia (Russian sphere of influence) lies the vast Inner Mongolian plateau, a flat wilderness of grass ruled by hairy, fur-clad Mongol princes under the nominal overlordship of China's Nanking Government. Last month from every corner of Chahar and Suiyuan Provinces the princes of Mongolia left their herds of horses, camels and sheep to ride toward the great Lama Temple at Bathahalak, 100 mi. north of Kweihwa.

He reached Peiping like a conqueror, traveling with an entire regiment as his bodyguard, grinning and cracking his barnyard jokes at "Chiang and his Government who think they can make themselves foreigners by putting on trousers, eating with knives and forks and leaping about on smooth dance floors clutching...
...other Chinese generals bickered about demobilizing their huge idle armies. Opportunist Feng saw a chance to carve out a little State of his own. Last fortnight he sent his well-paid, well-drilled troops against the walls of Dolonor in southeast Chahar, held by Manchukuan irregulars and two brigades of Japanese regulars. Four times they were thrown back, once demoralized by bombs from seven Japanese planes. Last week, on the fifth assault, Feng's men made a breach in the walls, swept the Manchukuan and Japanese troops across the city and out the east gate. Japanese, unfamiliar with victorious...
