SIAMESE RULER
PREP ARES FOR
EYE OPERATION
Heads for 0p'.ir Hall to Be
Operated Upon for
Cataract.

81 Untte6 Press
WASHINGTON, May 1.-The Of
fetal visit Of King Prajadhipok Of
Slam to Washington, came to an
end today.
Farewells between the king and
queen, President and first lady were
said late Thursday In the massive
stone residence on Massachusetts
avenue, above which hoated the red
and royal yellow standard of Siam
The kings train was to leave at
10 a. m. for Optir Hall, Purchere,
". Y. There the king will be oper-
ated on for the removal Of z catar-
act from his left eye.
Or. William H. Wilmer, who ex-
anined his majesty's eyes at the
Wilmer institute, Baltimore, Thurs
day told the king that blindness
threatens unless the operation is
performed. DR.. John Wheeler Of
New York will be the surgeon.
The king acquired another title
during his stay here-the honorary
degree Of doctor of laws, conferred
by George Washington university.
The convocation at which the de-
gree was awarded was the kings
only seni-public appearance.
Prajadhi pok has preserved a
stately, silent derneanor, nodding
slightly now and then, and smiling
only occasionally.
Silent and reticent is the little
monarch-but his party is not with
out it's merrynaker. Prince SVasti,
the kings father-in-law, has proved
to his American hosts to be what
they would call a "jolly fellow" And
his wife, the princess, is much like
him.
What Prince Svasti likes best of
the things he has seen in America,
he keeps to himself. But he has
told his intinlates the remark about
him he treasures most OF all. Made
by a private citizen to one of the
kings attaches and relayed to the
prince, it was:
Say, this old prince is q pretty
good guy"
