RULER OF MILLION.
The people over whom Sir Hari's uncle rules are numbered by the million, while the State revenue for his privy-purse and court is immense. Although a staunch ally of England, the Maharaja is first of all, a Rajput and a Prince of the Dogra line. He is always most axious for the comfort of the many English who visit Srinagar, his roman. tically situated capital, sometimes called the Venice, of the East, in the Kashmir Valley,
This valley, rich in legendary tales is known to all boatmen as the Valley of the Chaste woman,
In 1904 the Maharajah's principal wife gave birth to a son and there was great rejoicing at the thought of a direct beir to gud, but early in 1905 the child died from the result of an accident and Sir Amir Singh, the Maharajah's brother and father of Sir Hart, again became next in succession. No more male child.
His younger brother, the Rajah Sir Amir Singh (father of Sir Hari Singh), was appointed President of the Council of the Regency. A man of great energy and ambition, he herame the virtual ten have been born to the Maharaja and, ruler of the State, and though his elder brother was restored to the Gadi, Sir Amir Singh remained, until his death in 1908, the most powerful inluence in the State.
Sir Amir dying in 1900, Sir Hari be came heir to his uncle.
When Sir Hari visited England in 1910 he was able to indulge his keen in terest in horses to the full. Not only did The Maharaja of Kashmir rendered he visitstads in this country but at magnificent service in the war, no fewer tended race meetings and crossed to Ire- than 31.000 men being recruited in his land, where be was credited with the State for the Indian Army.

In the organisation
of this assistance Raja Sir Hari Singh,
a Commander-in-Chief of the Kashmir
forces, played a great part.
Sir Hari Singh inherited from his father a vast private fortune.
SIR HARI'S MARRIAGE,
He was educated at the Mayo College for Princes at Ajmere, and follows the example of his father in keen interest in administrative work. His bospitality is proverbial, and he is a keen sports no. During his visit to this country. he was a good customer of many West End shops, but tried-as-far-as-be-couldi to hide his identity on these shopping| expeditions.
In May of last year he married the eldest daughter of the Maharaja of Dharampore in Kathiawar, amid great rejoicings in the presence of thousands
of visitors..
Sir Hari Singh is the recognised heir of the Kashmir Gabi, bus the Maharaja, who is a very, orthorox Hindu, spending several hours a day in religious obeer- vancea, was allowed, shortly, after tho war, to adopt for spiritual purposes a routh connected with the ruling family, Sir Pratap Singh, to whom in the course of time Sir Hari Singh, will sac- ered as Maharajah of Junmu and Kash- mir, is pac. of the most, powerful rulers in India and is entitled to a salute of
21 guns.
A man of 75, he has been Maharajah since 1885. He is a lieut.-general in the British Army and was in France with the Indian corps during the war.
Of immense wealth, he gave £100,000 to the Indian memorial to Queen Vic toria and waived a claim of more than £118,000 against the Government for the use of his troops overseas.
His army, of which Sir Hari Singh in commander-in-chief, numbers about. 10,000 cavalry and infantry, with an ade quate number of guns
