7MAHARAJAH GAHKwAR BELIEVES
 IN ADVERTISING.
Says He Thinks It Would Be Good Thing For India.-Likes a Repub- lie If It's Good.

New York. May 15.-His highness. The Maharajah Gaekwar- of Bardoa, who arrived on the Celtic on Sunday yesterday proclaimed himself a believer in advertising and said that it would be good thing for India when It learned to advertise. He said that he would not mind having q republic If it was a good one. but that education was ne- cessary first, and 1t was not an easy task to educate the millions of India. Just al present the prince admitted, he himself took the place of republic.
 T make the laws said he, 'I have the power of life and death. There is a cabinet whose advice take if I choose. Sometimes, if they think decree I have issued is wrong, and I find their views are based on good grounds, I re- cinsider it."
 On the somewhat delicate subject of his relations with the British govern ment, the Prince proved quite commit nicative. The British government, he said. had the power to interfere. but it did not assume to govern. That he said. would be regarded as interfer- ence.
 Tt is like an earthen pot in a brass jar he said
 They travel together, but if you stretch the one you break the other the weaker one of course"
 The prince seemed to be rather anus ed at the description given by mission aries of conditions in India. Religion he said. was clearly a matter for the individual conscience.
 Our people, just like any otber peo- ple,'' he said, want to be let alone on the subject of religion. They hold certain beliefs as sacred and they will not be changed. Their philosophy is elastic l think we should leave a man s relislon to himself If he Ilves his life so that he can die at peace with his conscience he should have the right to make q choice of his own way Religion to me is "a study. It is school for thought and most interest ing" -t,-
 However, he added that the mission aries had done lot of good in found ing hospitals and teaching people the dignity of labor
