That danger Siam's neighbours Theatre, 9.30 p.m. were unable to resist, and they suc compbed and became dependencies of European Powers. Siam ulone was able to save her independence, thanks to the sagacity and ability of the second three Kings of the dynasty. It was to be regretted that King Rama VI, who had car ried this development to so near its end, had not lived to see the competition of his labours.
