GRAND LAMA OF THIBET
INTERVIEWED At LAST
"Near Deity" Says That He Is
an Ardent Admirer of
American Customs
(By Aasooiated Presn. !

AHSUC1AL6Q
NEW YORK, May 1.-THE irrepressible
American interviewer has succeeded at
last in talking with the Dalai Lama of
Thibet, generally regarded as the most
unapproachable being in the world
Very few men of white skin have ever
seen him, and countless thousands of his
followers hold him to be a deity.
The first interview ever obtained with
him will be published here this week
by the Continent. Presbyterian denomi-
national journal Its travelling represent
alive, William T. Ellis. of Philadelphia,
met the Lama in the village of DARRELL
ing beneath the Himalayan SHOWS, where
he is exiled in asylum prepared for him
by the British.
THE Lama is not an impressive in
dividual in appearance" writes the inter
viewer. His face is pock-marked and
his ears are large and curiously shaped.
His moustache is waxed horizontally.
His head is bullet shaped. He has a
hobby for cleanliness unusual in these re-
gions. He eats from a golden bowl and
sleeps between spotless sheets CT SATIN
OF the things the Lama had to talk
about, the item that most impressed his
interviewer was statement that he in
tended. upon his return to Thibet, to
send many of his young men to America
for a western education. The japanese
and Chinese example in this regard has
impressed him very much and he de-
clared it could be followed by the peo-
pie of Thibet with great advantage.
He also proposed that Thibet and even
the sacred city of Lama itself should be
thrown open to the commerce of the
world, and the ancient policy of seclusion
abandoned. He declared that Buddhism
as a religion was superior to Christianity
and prophesied that in 400 years all man
kind will be enrolled in Buddhist fell
loWship.
