ADMIRATION FOR OUR WOMEN.

But there is a better reason than this
for his preference. Vajiravudh is not only
very independent but pre-eminently a
practical person and has often openly
admired the independent and practical
young American women whom he has
met both in Europe and here man Of
tremendous energy and vitality himself
he has naturally looked for the same
characteristics in the women whom he
has admired enough TO make his com
panons. and has found them in the
women of America in more pronounced

SIAM AND AMERICA.

There have always existed the most
cordial relations between these two dia-
metricllly opposed govenments-the
most despotic and the most democratic.
France has bullied her Asiatic friend
Siam into giving up a very large portion
OF her northeastern territory and has
been watching for more than half CEN
tury for ripe opportunity to turn the
entire kingdom into a French depend

guarding her Malayan peninsula with
more and more skill and care. hoping for
her chance to squeeze her neighbor into

NEED OF AN AMERICAN WIFE.

II is to help him i'm his work of elevat-
ing his people as Siamese that the King
desires an American wife; 1t is to ne,p
him TO make his people recognized as a
nation among the moderns as IL is among
those nearer home; it is his first step
of "engraftng upon the East" what he
may gain from the West.
Mongkut wrested his country from
semi barbarism and hurled ii half-baked
into the arena of the worlds great pow
ers. there to work out its own salvation.
His son. ChulalongkOrn. learning IN a
manner not possible for his aggressive
father. the appreciation of the benefits TO
be derived from Western civilization and
culture, initiated his people into the ma
terial sciences OF The West; sent his sons
and the sons of his mobiles to European
schools; built and endowed universities at
home. and in every way possible paved
the way for the coming of his son who
is To make still further strides In the
advancement of his subjects. The lom-
inant note I'm the mind of the present
ruler is one of pride in his people. In his
inaugural address he said. "Our noble
Tai Qrec) nation is not dead. but enjoys
and will continue TO enjoy. an existence
proud, virile and progressive"
Purify yourselves" he cried TO the
priests: examine yourselves" he added
To the mobiles: "bestir yourselves" he con-
