CORONATION cerem ony
- Of the King of Siam

ent crisis is the fact of the death of
the queen mother, who died last
November and was cremated last
month. She was woman of great
character and her opinions had
weight with her son, the king. AS
child she was a brilliant creature
in both mind and body. Long be-
fore she was chosen to be the queen
of her royal brother she was eager
to learn everything that "brother"
learned and nothing was too hard
or too difficult for her impatient
and impetuous mind. Extremely
fond of color and jewels, she decked
herself with the rarest of gems. In
her hair she wore diamond pin
which held in place a gold tiara.
Around her throat and covering her
bosom and shoulders were innumer-
able chains of gold, studded with
stones of value. On her slender
wrists were fully a dozen golden
circlets and on every finger
were from three to four rings. Her
body was encased in a cloth of gold
garment, held in place with band
of gold fully three inches in width,

many Of his race, he was a linguist
Of note. His correspondence was
large and was carried on with mon
of activity in every European coun-
try and in America. But it was as
soldier that he will be missed in his
home. Every department of mill
tary life was strengthened, viviied,
made more efficient by him. He was
so devoted to his books and to his
correspondence that he was taken to
task at times for not devoting more
time to his Russian wife, who was
not only very active in her adopted
home-as leader in all festivities at
which the queen mother was pa
troness-but became a great trav-
eler. The heated term in Bangkok
was not at all to her liking. She
longed for the cold and the SHOWS of
Russia and often absented herself
from her Siamese home and ran
about the world-in northern Eu-
rope, incognito and unchaperoned
Upon her return she was in great
demand at the royal fairs and was
made much Of by both Siamese and
foreigners.

many respects. At the age Of twelve
he was sent to England, where he
fitted into the foreign school regime
in less than six months. He played
football at Rugby, learned to fence,
ride and swim; entered into tourna-
nents Of golf and tennis, flirted and
wrote love lyrics. Later he went to
Heidelberg, where he crossed swords
with the daredevils and drank and
sang his way into the hearts Of his
fellow workers. Returning to Eng
land he entered Christ College, Ok
ford, where on graduation he took
the first prize away from seven Of
the brainies+ Of Britishers and then
went to Paris, where he wrote a play
that was produced at the Comedie
Francaise; he returned to Germany
and wrote his thesis for his doctors
degree in German, and, after visit
ing every court in Europe, returned
home by way Of America, where he
stopped long enough to pay the Pres
ident an extended visit and looked
over" twenty of the states Of the
Union.

Wore Native Costume

She was quick to pick up the
Siamese tongue and spoke it flu
ently-so fuently that she became
the go-bctween and interpreter for
Siamese nobility and many Of the
other young European ladies who,
like herself, had married the blue
bloods of Siam. She was the first
of their number to don the Siamese
costume and wore it with such grace
that the others soon followed, and
not long ago the queen mother was
delighted to see all Of the "foreign
princesses" appear before her, robed
in the brilliant hued dress Of her
own court.

not being equal in blood to her royal
husband, 1t would be impossible TO

veins, but who had brains in their
heads-primary schools, graded
schools, high schools.
Long before the war she had be-
come interested in hospital work

Siam as plentifully scattered
throughout her kingdom as had her
royal husband planted hospitals for

A Democratic Despot

He is the only Eastern monarch
with Western education-the most
democratic despot in the world For
Siam is an absolute monarchy; pos
sibly the most absolute monarchy
in existence to-day. Rama VI holds
in the palm Of his hand not only the
property and possessions of his g.
100000 subjects, but their very lives.
a few years ago, when China was in
the throes Of not one, but of several
revolutions, and had declared tvp
republics" the spirit of unrest
started to trickle down into little
Siam, but stopped at the border.
Siam is called the kingdom Of
"Muang Thai" ("thc People of the
Free"l. and nothing could enter that
paradise to disturb chat Freedom"
The country Is SO prosperous, tho
taxes are so low, the advantages are
so numerous that those living in
Cochin-China on the east and in
Burma on the west are clamoring
to get over the Siamese fence to be-
come partakers of the plenty that
awaits all who make their home in
this enchanted land.
A ruler who is so wise and so
good, so generous and so far-sighted,
is capable of performing many mod
ern miracles. He is but forty years
Of age and has been on the throne
ten years. His father ruled for
forty-two; his grandfather was hale
and hearty at sixty-three. With his
constitution of iron and his we'll
known temperance in all things
nothing but an untoward accident
should deprive Siam of her demo-
cratic ruler and the world Of ono
Of the progressives of the age.
Had an American Room
Over a half century ago King
Mongkut had in his palace what he
called his "American room" Around
the walls were paintings of every
President Of the United States.
Often he has been heard to say:
II am planning my own country
on the customs and the laws Of
America"
His son, the late King Chulong-
korn, sent his son to the White
House in Washington for visit
chat has been deprived me, and
which ] consider to be one Of the
greatest Of deprivations.
Ever since Siam was opened TO
the West America has been foremost
in the minds and the hearts of the
Siamese rulers. And if in his best
judgment this Eastern monarch
shall find suitable mate among the
women of America he will but
cement the long friendship between
the land of the "free" of Asia and
that other land of the "free" Of
America, and weld together the old
est and the youngest, the largest
and the smallest of the nations Of
the earth.

men. And, when Siam entered the
war, 1t was the queen mother who
started the Red Cross work and
gathered around her the chief wom-
en- of the nation. Not content with
the hospitals already built, she built
still another-larger and better
equipped than any other in the
kingdom, and for it she sent to the
uttermost parts Of the world for the
best in every department.
When the young king overthrew
all precedent and declared that he
would not marry any Of his half
sisters-that he would not tolerate
the royal harem-and that rather
than this he would remain single, it
was the queen mother who stood by
him and who assisted him in bring
ing out the women of the court"
and compelled them to be recognized
as part of the new scheme of
things. At his majesty's corona
tion ceremonies the young women of
the court-the kings half-sisters
and others who would naturally have
become members of his household
were, for the first time in Siamese
history, seen at the royal ball, in tho
theaters, at dinners and other royal
public functions. It was the young
king who decreed the new order, but
it was the faithful queen mother
who made the new order a practical
factor in the life Of the Siamese
court.
Believed in Big Families
Siam is a polygamous country.
According to Siamese law a man
may have as many wives as he can
support. The households Of royalty
ran into almost countless numbers.
Old King Mongkut, the grandfather
Of the present monarch, used to say:
II like large families. I have
eighty-six children"
The present king has something
like twenty half brothers and any
quantity of half-sisters. In doing
away with the royal harem his ma
jesty struck blow at one of the
oldest and most fundamental Gus
toms of the country. And if he
chooses to step out Of the beaten
track and marry foreigner he will
be carrying out but one more Of his
unexpected reforms, for which he has
been noted ever since he came to the
throne.

think that one Of her two sons should
possibly wear the Siamese crown.
And so the choice may be the third
son Of the late King Chulalongkorn
and his royal spouse the late queen
mother, who before her marriage
was known as Princess Sawa Pa
Pongse. This third son, Prince
Nakorn Rajasrima, like his brother,
the king, is unmarried. His younger
brother, however, is married, and
married to half-sister, a daughter
of King Chulalongkorn. His issue,
therefore, would be in line for the
throne.
These names Phitsanulok, Ma
korn Rajasrima, Songkla (the last
the name of the we'll known prince
who has been in this country as a
graduate student in Harvard)
the names Of different provinces.
The province Of Phitsanulok, or
Bisnuloke, as it is sometimes spelled
in English, is the principal province
of the state and corresponds to
Wales in Great Britain; the province
of Nakorn Rajasrima is in the mid
die country and is important; Song
kla is another important province.
A Blow to the King
The loss of the late crown prince
will be a great one to the king,
whoever his successor may be. He
was his royal brothers right hand
in many ways. AS a military ex-
pert he stood high. His majesty the
king as boy drilled as private
at Sandhurst and learned his mill
tary tactics in England, France and
Germany, choosing what he con-
sidered the best from each-infan-
try in this, cavalry in that, and
artillery in the other school. His
brother was the best drilled soldier
in the Far East. He learned what
he could In each of his brothers
preferred Conservatives of war"
and added Russia. He was known
as the General Pershing Of SIAM"
He was general in chief Of the
Siamese forces-made 80 when his
majesty took the title Of marshal.
He was also very close to the queen
mother. His palace almost adjoined
hers.
The queen mother lived in what
is known as the Phya Thai Palace
on Phya Thai Street, the crown
prince in the large palace on Chula-
longkorn Plaza, near the Dusit
Palace, the marble edifice built by
King Chulalongkorn and built for
special purpose. His majesty
Chulalongkorn was a lover Of peace
and cared but little for military
armament and maneuvers. The
word "dusit" means in Siamese
"peace, or where all cares fly away"
The house where the crown prince
lived was filled with soldiery of all
kinds. The late crown prince was
also valuable to the king as a legis-
lator. In olden times the Siamese
king had what they called "the
Right" and "the Left" When a
monarch desired to pass a law he
turned to mummy on his right and
asked, "Does the Right agree" and
the mummy mumbled an affirmative.
"The Righ agrees" said the king.
Turning to "the Left" he asked
the same question and received the
same answer, and Immediately an
nounced: It is a law"
King Has Cabinet
The present king has a Cabinet
similar to that Of the President of
the United States. His majesty sits

with pearls. Nor was this all.
Around each bare ankle was another
and a priceless anklet of gold, with
heavily carved ends. Seated upon
her chair of red and with g cushion
Of cloth Of gold at her back she pre-
sented a picture Of unrivaled bar
barrie beauty.
Demanded the Beautiful
In after life the little princess
proved to be all that she had prom
ised as child. A lover of the beau
tlful, she demanded and had about
her the beautiful things of life. Not
only flowers and colors and Jewels
for the body did she demand, but
flowers and colors and jewels for
the mind. Never before had the
young women of Siam so universal
an opportunity for study. The
queen mother built school after
school-schools for the princesses-
over which her own niece was placed
as school mother" and for the staff
Of teachers Of which she searched
England, Europe and America. Not
content with this she instituted
other schools for the others-girls
who had no royal blood in their

King Has a Cabinet

The present king has a Cabinet
similar to that Of the President of
the United States. His majesty sits
at the head Of the table and acts as
his own Prime Minister. The other
portfolios are held by the brainy
men Of the kingdom. His vice chair
man and the one to whom he re-
ferred many questions Of state was
the late crown prince, who sat at
his left and acted for him in all mat
ters, when he was absent from the
meetings Of his Cabinet.
