PEKING, Bppt. 28. The Dalai Umi has
Arrived! i
To the tum-tuming of the kettle drums
hung over the necks of shaggy Mongol
pontes, to the flaring and the brasslness,
the blaring and the aaaslnesa of shrill Chi
nese horns, to the ruatle of thoae bright
yellow Umi robes, to the clatter of 400
doughty Httle pony hoofs, the clanking of
the swords of their Important looking Chi
nese soldier riders and the choruses of
sharp, shrill shouts to hustle the street
crowds out of the way of these same
riders as the cavalcade swings along and
horrors! to the toot-tooting of the rail
road train whistle, the Dalai Um of Tibet,
the Jewel of Majesty, the Sovereign Treae
ure, made his way into the capital city of
the Middle Kingdom today.
The sftt chunking harmony of the oamel
bells djwn by the city moat along the
railroad rhythmically keeps time with the
chewing, chewing, chewing of 200 mouths la
eocentrlo motion as the camels wait to be
loaded by their Mongol and Tibetan bag
gage smashers. Bmall mountains of yak
skin and hair-covered boxes, each capped
by a shock of matty, black hair and
mass of coarse winter clothes lust as black
though not originally so as those which
cover a dusky Tatar watcher upon whom
the water of the moat, dark as It Is, yearns
for a chance these lines of hills hedge
In the army of desert-traveled beasts along
the freight tracks. '
Odor a necessity.
And this odor, as of richest Llmburger
after many days, and that other, as of an
Ellis Island detention room are these
proper things to present to the sensitive
nostrils of the Dalai Lama upon his ar
rival? Proper? Perfectly. Forsooth, he
could not thrive without them. These odors
belona- to him aa well as these mountains
of boxes, their sources. Hard sticks of
Mongol cheese and quantities of Tibetan
yak butter, to be chewed upon all the day
ion aa the Tatars drink their tea and
alt and butter soup, line the Inside of these
bozui.
Three hundred rumbling Peking carts with
scraggly little horses blinking for rest, are
doing their bast to eat away some part of
the box mountains. Possibly they are car
rylng away some of the rolls of camel hair
and wool Tibetan cloth or some of the
gold and silver articles, presents which
the Delal is to give to help square matters
with the emperor and also to scatter -among
thi Chinese officials. Here a line of nny
khaki olad Chinese, each with a big bog.
on his shoulder, winds through tne mass
of baggatfs. " J -
The Dalal's vanguard or servants are tak
ing life easy. They are the srueats, and
they know It Bo let the other fellow do
the work.
What they lack In hustling ability they
supply In causing merriment. Bee over
In that modern frleght car the world s prise

He's av Cr Dalai. .
Stripped to the walat, his upper garment
hanging like a second hand clothing shop's
Stock In full blow around his middle, frowsy
locks twined with dust and dirt, a foolish
grin spreading over his face, a medieval
Old Black Joe Tarterised stands framed
In the doorway. A foreigner steals up
fjom behind a box to snap his picture,
"ytyth a Punch and Judy, apelike laugh he
jumps back Into the car and cautiously
peeks around to see what la happening.
No spirits are going to get hold of him
out of that mysterious black box If he can
help It. And the crowd of Chinese looking
on from the opposite bank roar with merri
ment at hi superstition. They roar again
when In an unwonted moment he Is enap
peded. But he Is a humorist himself. Bo
the leering grin spreads Itself again and he
proceeds contentedly.
Over on the fear platform of the railroad
yard the hundred brown ponies for the
Dalal's followers are getting impatient. But
now the Chinese soldier-police, of the city,
two companies of them not very many
for so august a personage are manoeuvring
In a scattered fashion to try to get Into line
for the arrival. '
They are a pretty, natty looking crowd
compared with the usual shambling speci
men around the city. They are almost
Jaunty In their khaki uniforms, their guns
are well polished and the usual weak In
the knees, caved In chest and stomach at
titude, has given place to an erectness that
would do proud the German army learning
the goose step.
Officials Are Baay.
The welcoming officials, too,' are getting
busy, but not very enthusiastically. The
highest rank man of the lot, and he not
too high, would seem to be anxious to
have the show over and get off on more
Important business or pleasure. China Is
not ke-towlng to the Dalai I-ama today.
It la merely buying him flatter candy, of
fered on a big flat hand that can do a lot
of spanking for pouting children.
The dragons of the yellow flags are
crawling convulsively In the fluttering
wind, the two police bands are getting
ready to brass forth modern music, when
"Lot la!" (He ha come!)
The train pulla In, rustling, sllkclad Mon

"What? The living god? The live

In a railroad roach? At least say a flying

city wall, looming Its forty ft of gray-

head of the "living god," utters a few ap

Well, he's the god on earth of all lamas

He holds In absolute rein these rawboned

devastation over Europe.
From the grsssy plains they rove about
and worship him and make pilgrimage to
him. His effulgent majesty holds in aw

his graclousness.
They know no temporal power on earth

are nought to them. But they would stir
things up against China, even China, the

treated In proper style. With these two
Tartar tribes, the rover of the flowery
plains of Mongolia, the dwellers in the
lofty fortresses of Tibet, simple, supersti

before allowing him to depart from de
votion to the Dalai to profess Christianity,
does his power chiefly He.
Oot an Early Start,
Back In 632 A. D. did the Dalia have his
beginning. Then was there merely a plain,
ordinary king rullag the land of Tibet
But Just before this time, aa the result of
the persuasion of the young Chinese Bud
dhist wife of King Srong-Tsau-Oumpo,
Buddhist missionaries had mude their way
Into the heights of ths Himalayas from
India and the king had turned Buddhist
In that year, he had sent to India for
the holy scriptures of Buddhism. But the
devil worshippers were not pleased. Their
long devil driving whips cracked Viciously,
the tusks of their ferocious false heads
they put over their upper bodies aa they
drove ths devils out In their wild dance
projected ominously. So they massacred
the Buddhists,
But these returned, they grew the more

The old chiefs of the land Instead of using
the abbots and divines to foster their own
power, as they bad expected, had to fight
for the very existence of their strength.
There grew up the Red Caps -and th

Tibet when he had spars tlms In Ui and
made his favorite Buddhist priest the
supreme lama of the empire, king of the
great and precious law. giving him tem

proach the first real Dalai Lama!.
This was a victory for the-Reds, but not
for long. The Tellowi" finally triumphed,
and In Hit their chief priest the Dalol
Lama, became the sole temporal power In
Tibet. A divine origin was discovered for
the Dalai Lamas by the fifth of the line
about 1360, when the Reds were driven out
of power entirely. About 1760 the power of
China over Tibet was firmly established

Dalai died not a fraction of a second, more
or less supposedly were collected. From
them by lot was the new dalM selected, and
in the near selection did evidences of divine

But the Dalai was In no hurry to come to
Peking for his audience with the emperor.
He knew he had been almost a naughty
boy In 11 king the Russians so well and tak
ing so much ctndy from them. He knew
that Papa China recognised what Russia
was after and had no loving feelings to
see the Dalal's Valuable toy, Tibet, coddled
Into a shaggy paw.
Tries to Dodge Peking;.
He also knew that really the only thing
hs was wanted for In Peking was to have
Papa China assured that, while, of course.
he could have a little fun of his own wltn
his toy Tibet, it really was papa's prop
erly, and that he, the Dalal, must always
be a good boy and do what he was told.
"But," may have thought the Dalai, 'In
our travels we have learned that there are
other countries more powerful than China.
We want them."
So he tried hide and seek with Papa. He
was coming, but always next montn, until,
as It was said, "Big Man" Tuan Snlti Kal
in the grand council advised the emperor
to send lor the Deshl Lama, second In com
mand In Tibet Then the Dalai cume on
the Jump. From Wu Tal he traveled
about 100 mile over country and thence to
Peking by the Peking-Hankow railroad.
HI train has pulled in. Unhallowed for-
elgneis, who, as usual, on the strength of
being foreigners, have pushed In and over
awed the Chinese soldier guard ot honor,
crowd up to the car to see the face so long
hidden from public gaze.
A bodyguard of a dosen Tibetan soldiers,
"The Dalal's Own' step off and line up.
They are a gentle looking lot who seem not
altogether sure as to what these things
are that they are carrying over their shoul
dersrifles. They make no attempt to
clear away the foreigners to make room for
the Dalal to step off the car Into the yellow
chair, but get out of the crowd as soon ss
possible and take their stately position in
front of the procession, where things are
quiet
Dlasrast Is Apparent.
Who Is this shrewd, thin, sharp faced
young Tibetan who stands on th oar plat
form and wears so disguested a look a he
gasa at the shoving pack of foreigners?
"A pretty way to meet a living god," he
seems to mutter.
His yellow robes rustla as he passes in
side a plan a campaign for getting the
Dalal out without being seen. He Is the
Dalal's secretary, and no sluggard, but
possessing ths qualities of a modern busi
ness man.'
They come. First are four solid , look
ing Tibetan Individuals whose chubby,
broad figures and fat faces ' fringed with
long whiskers, give them the appearance
of good Dutch Transvaal burghers. Only
their rich yellow silks do not fit the sug
gestion of ths Transvaal.
They shield with screens the Dalal, who
wears blue spectacles. He steps quickly
Into ths chair, affording spectators only a
passing glimpse, and la pff down the plat
form to drink tea wi'h the welcoming of
ficials and depart
These attendants of tho Dalal are a pic

fiercely with a dusky face that would seem
to be better fitted In the dusty rough rid
ing clothes of a wandering plainsman and
topped with the equivalent of our high
hat a boardlike thing that resembles a
plate bearing a temple structure. The near
baby blue ribbons that harness this ma
chine on the tanned shaven head are a
comlo opera in themselves. Hs reminds
one of the country wedding, where top bats

on the tip top knob of heads all too big.

The Chinese officials are not enjoying
themselves. See ' those carrying th
Buddhlat Idols, and think how little dif
ferent from the gruff old bachelor, loft
helpless with a - squalling, s-months-old
baby In bla arms to watch after. So the
procession moves, on. They mount all
except the Dalat, who Is carried quickly
In bis chair. - . ,
Out In ths streets leading Into the Tar
tar city crowds of Chinese line the road.
The foreigners look down from the top of
the wall. In the country where the Dalat
traveled , the people had to kneel. But
they do not even think of It here, only
laugh and stand and crane to get a look.
The crowd is not impressed at all, but
rather regards the parade in something of
the humorous vein. And this Is the atti
tude of the best Chinese. Some who take
things a little more seriously and who
cannot forget his love making tendencies
with the Russians would say "kill him be
fore he gets, away." Others merely shake
their heads and say that he will never be
anything more than practically a pris
onerguest for life In one of Peking'
temple.
But listen to this fat. Jolly, wis Chinese
gentleman who stands alongside of you:
"A good plaything," Is his verdict.
So th Dalal 1 carried out to live In th
great yellow tempi, that charming old
lama headquarters, where lodged in former
time the Mongol prince who cam to
Peking to pay tribute to the emperor. It

roadway out from the city have been

about the city, how ths' Dalal Is fencing

Now we hear that th official ar de

FURNISHES ROOM FOR . KING
Mr a. "Joky" Ward Has Coa? PUet
tow Kta Edward la Calltoa
Lodge.
-
UONDON. Nov. . (Bpaclal.)-It has been
definitely arranged that King Edward will
vlalt the Hon. Mr. and Mra. Johnny Ward
t their new home, Chilton Lodge, Berk
ahlre. Immediately after they gat settled
early in January. The purchaea f the ae
tata Is not yet competed, but will be ar
ranged before that time.
The daughter of Arabaaeador Reld and
her Engltah hue band, eonaider themselves
very fortunate In having secured so fine
a place as Chilton Lodge, und before they
heard that the estate, which formerly be
longed to Sir William George Pearce, Bart.,
was for sale, they had inspected a auore or
more places on the market. But In every
caae, . the housea did not meature up to
their expectations. As a matter of fact, it
was only by the Unreal chance that they
secured Chilton Lodge.
Hearing that it was for aule, accom
panied by Mr. and Mrs. Reld and Georglna
Lady Dudley, they motored down from
London to look It over. They had decided
to take It, when they discovered a man
walking In the grounds, and subsequent In
quiry developed the fact that he was Sir
Alexander Henderson, who haa been called
the "Mark Hanna of England," and that
be had bought the estate that aame morn
ing for ffcJO.000. Some time later, Sir Alex
ander heard of the Incident and Immedi
ately ezpreased his willingness to re-sell
the place to the Warda. and the offer was
snapped up.
The Chilton Lodge' estate Is situated on
the border line between Berkshire and
Wiltshire, a little over sixty miles from
London. It eomprlaes about 2,331 acres of
ground, sight farms and seventy-three cot-
tagea and lodges, In addition to Chilton
Lodge Itself. There are about 2S4 seres of
woodland, providing excellent shooting, the
average annual bag of the last three sea
eons being about S.flOO head. The river
Kent, which forma a purt ot the southern
boundary of the eatate, affords good trout
and grayling fishing. . . ,
The mansion Itself la a aubatantlully built
structure of Bath atone and red brick,
partly in the "classical" style of the
Georgian period, with an Imposing portico
on the south side. It atanda on an eleva
tion In a beautiful park of ICO acres, and
la approached by a fine winding drive from
tho village of Chilton Foliat.
It Is the intention of the Wards to reserve
a apeclal room for hia majesty, who Is
expected to be a frequent visitor because
of hia sincere attachment to both Mr. and
Mra. Ward. Although no definite decision
haa been come to yet. It is very likely that
his room will be that known as the "Cela
don room," on the first flour, with a large
dressing room attached. The room meas
