self-respect, and at that moment, if the good offices
of the Loseling Kempo can be unostentatiously secured,
our future relations with this hermit kingdom may be
facilitated in a manner that ten treaties might fail to
achieve.
Meanwhile, in spite of the successful signing of the
treaty and in spite of his exile and formal deposition
by the Chinese, the dominating factor in the' situation
is beyond question the Illustrious and Most Holy Dalai
Lama and Most Precious King, Ngak-wang lo-zang tub-
dan gya-tso, Defender and Protector of the Buddhist
faith.
THIS IS REALLY A SATISFYING PICTURE OF THIS HUGE
BUILDING. COUNTESS HELENA GLEICHEN HAS ADMIRABLY
CAUGHT THE MASSIVE REGULARITY OF THE GRANITE
UNDERNEATH THE WASH OF WHITE, AND I DO NOT THINK
THAT AN Y PICTURE PAINTED ON THE SPOT COULD GIVE
MORE PERFECTLY THE SOMi’RE TONE AND ROOTED
SPLENDOUR OF THE POTALA.
