 Seized German Ships
 Her first act of war was the seizure Of nine German steamships interned in her ports. These have now been re- paired and are in the service of the allies. She next proceeded to stamp out German propaganda and enemy plots.
 Siam was conveniently situated be- tween British possessions on thI one side and French colonies on the other for German underground operations both in India and in Indo-China. To- day there is not a pro-German who dares to raise his head in Siam and even the 2000-mile coast line is care fully paroled to prevent the opera tions of German raiders or political ships" bound for India. As for Ger man born Germans. the several hun dred who found their way to Siam be- fore the war have had their activities restricted to internment camps for a year, with release in sight only when the great peace pact is signed.
 Siam is essentially an agricultural country. and the government during the year has wisely extended her irri- gation systems and rail lines to sitmu- late production to the utmost. Millions of tons of rice are exported every sea son and great quantities of sun-dried fruit, smoked and salted fish, and fresh beef from Siam help to reduce the universal food shortage.
 In the last ten years Siam has been successfully growing rubber of a su- perior quality, and today this compara- lively new industry is making rapid progress under the pressure of an in- suitable demand. Siamese lead and tin are also being worked into American munitions on a large scale and several other lesser known metals of high value in warfare are exported through Bangkok and the Straits Settlements.
 In times of peace Siam maintains an army of 50,000. On a war basis this army expands to 30O,000 without diff culty. Though it is built up along modern lines, it is hardly likely that it will be needed in Europe, or even in the Near East But that Siam is very keen for representation on the battle front appears from the fact that she has already sent to France an aviation unit of 500 men. Her flying men were trained in Europe and in turn trained others of their fellow countrymen un- til, it might be said, Siam now mas ters the air of the East.
 Siam, however. is no Oriental David challenging the Teutonic Goliath. It is not expected that she will sling the shot which will finish Germany. Her aid is chiefly moral. One of the most progressive nations of the East, she stands leagued with the free peoples of the earth against military barbar- ism. Her act of war was as bold as ours and, in its degree, as potent.

 Of Dead Soldiers Of Pay

It is provided by act of Congress that dependents of soldiers having money due them shall receive it with out charge from the government, but in spite of this the shyster lawyers are busy trying to mulct the depend ents of American soldiers killed on the battlefields of France. The des- picable work going on, and which this is intended to warn against, is set forth in the following verbatim eX- cerpts from the Congressional Record of July 15:
 MIR McCLINTIC. Mir. Speaker, young soldier by the name of Alexan- der p. Garrett, son of A. R. Garrett. a prominent citizen of Mangum. Okla, was killed on the battlefield of France a few days ago. This young man was a patriot He net cnly volunteered his Services for the country but he made a sacrifice by taking a portion of his salary each month and invest ing it in Liberty Bonds. According to the statements made in the letter which has been sent me by the young mans father, there are certain attor- neys here in Washington who seek to make contracts with the parents of those who have lost their lives when they must knew that the department does not countenance such action, and that whenever the proper proofs are filed no difficulty will be encountered in collecting all that is due in cases of this kind It is for this reason that have brought this matter to the atten- tion of the House.
 When the information came to Judge Garrett that his son had been killed on the battlefield of France a blank was sent him by the War De- partment to be filled out in making the proper claim for the back pay due vanced on liberty bonds. He filled out this blank and returned it. He makes the statement in his letter to me that instead of receiving the pay that should have been sent him. an attor- .ney here in Washington sent him a contract asking that he pay 20 per cent commission before the money is received.
 MT. Speaker, I would like to have read in my time the letter in this con- nection.
 Mangum, Okla, July g, 1918. Hon. Jim McClintic,
 Washington, D. c.
 Dear Sir: am enclosing herewith a paper which explains itself In so far as any back pay or claim of any kind. money due my son. Alexander P. Gar rett, for his services and fighting for his country and world democracy. I do not care for the money individually. You will see from the enclosed copy of the paper I am sending you that it appears that beneficiaries who are en- titled to receive any money for servic- es rendered by their sons must em- ploy an attorney to secure the same.
 In a circular letter from the Treas ury Department some time ago it was declared that no attorney was neces- sary to collect any moneys due a sol dier who had been killed and who ad- vanced money to buy liberty bonds or had any back pay coming to him. But, from the inclosed document, take it that some one in the department is helping or aiding Edward J. Redmond to fleece benegiciaries I am loyal to my government but I am not loyal to graft. And if it is a fact that it is to employ an attorney to ob-

Si;ans Doing It's ShGre to Make World Safe for AU
 Free Peoples to LjUe M

Six thousand miles from Germany. half way between Mandalay and Bang kok. great herds of Asiatic elephants are working from dawn to dusk along the SaIween and Chow Phega river pill ing up logs of teak, pushing them into the water helping to form them into rafts with 9 dexterity that would eX- cite the admiration of a Minnesota lumberjack, says a bulletin from the committee on public information
 Thousands and thousands of these teak rafts float down the river to tide water and eventually arrive at Ran gOon and Bangkok. Thence they are shipped to the navy yards of the allies to be turned into the invincible 'woCd- en walls" of England, the armOr base for the battle ships of America and France.
 These elephants a-pilin' teak in the sludgy, spudgy creek" are forwarding one Of Slams chief contributions to- ward winning the war for civiilZStion. Germany must find some sort of esin- ous pine substitute for her dread noughts. but the allies may continue to use the one wood, imDerEious to wa ter and a shock absOrber of the firs- rank, on which nickel steel aTmor plate may best be bolted. Since Siam declared war on Germany year ago she has speeded up her teak produc- tion, as she has all her other indus tries, and today there is not an allied warship in the making that lacks for this most valuable of all naval lum- bers.
 Not for Profit
 But Siam entered the war not on ac- count of what she. could do for the allies in a material way, nor, indeed, for what they could do for her. Siam had certain grievances against Ger many-Teuton agents, for instance, were extremely active within her ter ritories. But the war to her was large ly a moral issue and her entry was primarily an answer of conscience to President Wilson's circular appeal ad- dressed to the neutral nations of the world.
 The basis for Slams gallant action were these three considerations: Ger many's fragrant contempt for all prin- ciples of humanity and for the rights of small powers. her barbarous meth ods of conducting war and the fact that neutrality was neither feasible nor desirable for Siam when the peace of the world was involved. As King Rama VI put it in his proclamation "done on the 22d day of July in the year of Our Lord Buddha 2460:
 Tt is the duty of Siam, as one of the family of nations, to uphold the sanctity of international law"
 Yet, like other unselfish acts. this began to have a wide effect. There can be no doubt that Slams declara- tion of war influenced China to aban- don her neutrality in favor of the al- lies. The example of the well govern ed little nation to the south was urged upon China most forcefully during the legislative debate which led to her belligerency and swayed the vote for war.
 And Siam also finding herself at war. began to find ways in which she could help win it. The country is as large as Germany, and King Rama has 12,000,000 subjects who display as thor oughly modern tendencies as any peo- pie of the East, not excepting the Jap anese. Siam took part in the allied conference at Versailles last Novem- Der and agreed to place her entire re-
