ROYAL Journalist.

Journalism has a royal recruit In
the king Of Siam, who recently con-
tributed an article to Siamese Jour-
nal on the Freedom Of the Seas" 1t
would be interesting to know whether
he used ordinary Siamese or palace
language" The latter came into exis-
tence in order that the tender ears Of
royalty should not be offended by un-
pleasant or indelicate expressions,
while all royal actions had to sound
different from similar actions per-
formed by lesser people. This royal
language is as complete as the nation
