 Are the foreigners in Siam and China much annoyed by the White LIly organIzation?"
 Yes. They have to be very care ful lest they publicly offend one of it's members. No matter how poor the laborer, if he is a White Lily his person must be respected as sacred from abuse or violence. l re- member an instance in SIam where the White Lily holds despot1c sway over the Siamese as well as the Chinese. 4 French capitalist named Bonneville had a large sawmlll near Bang Kok, the capital, where he was engaged in getting out teak for ship building. Bonneville once kicked a Chinese laborer, a member of the White Lily The Chinese labOrer said noth ng, but at noon they all marched out, after announcing that they would not return. Before leaving the mill they destroyed all the saws and machinery, and noti- fieI Bonneville that ha must leave within twelve hours or die. He left at oace and his mill was destroyed. Another instance of the same char acter: 1 German struck a native and his house was burned. 1 coull re- late many instances illustrating the power of this great Chinese secret society"

 ''The Chinese merchants turned pale with horror and fright, for the penalty of abandoning Chinese citi- zenship is death and coniscation in China. and these merchant-smug glers had been naturalized in Singa- pore. They fell down and begged piteously. They asked to be permit ted to go home and see their fami lies and glve certain necessary or ders. But, no; Sir Frederick Weld was memorable. The Chiefs of the White Lily were driven in their own carriages to the wharf, and one hour later were on their way to Canton On their arrival there they were seized by the Imperial officers ard executed for violation of the laws of the Empire"
 What effect did it have upon the Chinese in SingapoGe?"
