Tibet The Dalai Lama then took
measures to thwart this trade, where
upon China became alarmed and or
dered 1000 troops to go to Lhasa with
the object of preserving the peace and
affording protection.
when the Dalai Lama learned of the
above, the Pekin government ordered
the Chinese resident to reason with the
Dalai Lama, who refused to listen, and
on the 18th secretly left Lhasa with his
followers. The resident searched for
him ineffectively whereupon China de-
posed the Dalai Lama; ordered the
Tibetans to elect his successor and is
sued decree ordering the protection Of
Lamaism and the strict observance If

LARGEST "OLDs GLORY"
Pittsburg Has Giant Flag to Cover
Easter Lilies.

Pittsburg, Feb. 25.-The largest Amer
lean flag in the world. -160xS0 feet. is
being used to cover the Easter lilies
that are being propagated in the Phipps
conservatory in Schnnley park, for the
Easter flower show.
The idea of a big flag was inspired
by Captain Howard Curser, Mayor
Magee's secretary. who enlisted several
hundred women in it's making. Those
later organized the Society of Betsy
Ross. The banner has become a white
elephant because no supports or poles
could be found sufficiently strong to
hold it. The last time it was displayed
was during the world series champion
ship ball games last fall when it was
spread on the grassy hillside of Schen-
ley park, where the thousands at Forbes
field could see it's bright colors across
the diamond in the distance.

First Question by Man Six Days With
out Fire of Food.

Spanish Fork, Utah. Feb 25.-An en-
durance record of high rank was made
by Fred z. Fahey, who was found yes
terday by a rescue party in deserted
cabin IN the mountains.
Without fire or food. he lived for six

shelter was the rude hut and his only
sustenance some salt mixed with snow
water melted by the heat of his own
body When a searching party found
him, his hands and feet frozen and he
was in a comatose state.
Fahey.s first question on regaining
consciousness was not for Gerhardt Sic
bel. his companion, who persisted in the
81 orm. but: who won the Nelson-Wol-
