There is no postal service between China and Urga. Letters can be posted at Urga for the outside world. They are sent on to Kiachta ard Siberia and thus reach the Chinese-Eastern Railway. The wireless station is operating, but any news that it' may pick up is not made pudic. It does not accept messages for transmission. No code telegrams ave accepted at Urga. The mot service from Kalgan to Urga is excellent but fairly costly owing to wear and tear. The charge for foreign passengers' traffic is approximately from $100 to $150. per head, while the Chinese pay $60. Transportations of goods by motor car ig naturally dear, but a camel load can be sent for about $25.
These conditions obtain only at Urga and centres en route. The remainder of Mongolia has been affected but little if at all, by the Red regime. In Urga itself however, the Mongols show no love for the Russian, either Red or White although they have adopted. sovietism. They are naturally of independent character and are endeavouring to demonstrate that they ara able to run their own show. The result is interesting. often amusing and not infrequently the cause of irritation when actual loss or discomfort follows loss of patience.—Reuter.
