On the British side, English-language newspapers in Siam were pro-Entente. The Germans, in response, set up their own newspaper, the "Umschau". The Siamese worked with the British to reveal the German-Indian conspiracy, and tightened their control on the Southern railway and the west coast to watch for Indian nationalist revolutionaries and supplies sent by Japanese citizens sympathetic to the Central Powers. The British commended Siam for "the services they have rendered". Beginning in 1915, the King himself exhibited his pro-Entente views. In late-1915, he donated money to the widows and orphans of men in the Durham Light Infantry, in which he had served. In September, the King was offered an honorary generalship from King George V, and Rama VI offered a Siamese generalship in return. Princes were notably present at events for Allied Red Cross groups. The sinking of the RMS Lusitania moved the King to write a lengthy article in the Royal Navy League journal, "Samutthasan", denouncing the act. Although he held anti-German views, he wrote under a pseudonym and was cautious about expressing his opinion in public.
