Almost all accounts of Outer Mongolia for the last 15 years have originated in Russia. A few shepherds, it is said, now follow their flocks on bicycles. Ulan Bator Khoto, the capital, has three-story buildings, a theatre and traffic lights, although camels are more numerous than automobiles. Baby industries-machine shops, an arsenal, a power station, leather, shoe and textile factories-have been established. Six months ago excited Mongols raced their tough little ponies against the first railroad train they had ever seen when service was started on a 25-mile narrow-gauge line connecting Ulan Bator Khoto with...
...long rail and motor route from British Burma, the Chinese are now almost wholly dependent on the Soviet Union for their foreign supplies. These are either flown in by Russian planes or trucked in over the Sian-AIma Ata highway, linking China with Soviet territory, or the Lanchow-Ulan Bator Khoto highway, connecting China with Sovietized Outer Mongolia. Last week Japanese troops were spotted in Inner Mongolia, headed for the Lanchow-Ulan Bator Khoto road...
When they pull out of the South Station this morning. Coach Ulan's Varsity swimming team will be headed for the first really hard tests of the current season. Although they have won all their meets to date by overwhelming scores, it will be a different story tonight in Columbia's new York pool, tomorrow night in Princeton's Brokau pool. Both of these meets will count in the standing of the newly formed Eastern Intercollegiate Swimming League...
When the swimming squad abandoned the special exercise room yesterday afternoon, where for two months it has labored under the sadistic direction of coaches Ulan and Muir, it found few of the distractions which hitherto have haunted its informal practices in the pool. The hordes of frolicsome, long-haired youths had been banished; and there was the immediate prospect that the terrifying waves which were dashing against the sides of the tank might be shortly stilled. Lane markers, similar to those used in the Intercollegiate here last year, are calculated to subdue the mightiest billow that the most energetic candidate...
...Edward C. Devereaux '34, and Abbot W. Sherwood '35, both of whom saw plenty of service last year. Devereaux, who has swum over this distance in nearly every meet in the last two years, will also be on hand when the quarter-mile starts, but it is likely that Ulan will use John L. Ward '34, and Richard G. Dorr '36 instead, unless the Maine swimmers show unexpected strength, and pile up a larger score than the dope would imply...
