The Siamese legation here an- nounces that it has obtained Dr. Smith's services in this importaht ca- pacity for a considerable period of time. subj agreement. The necessary negotia- tions were conducted by the retiring minister. Phya Prabha minister to the Court of St. James. The Siamese government's action in obtaining Dr. Smith's services fol- Jows its well known and highly suc- cessful policy of securing accomplish- ©d Americans as advisers in various branches of law, diplomacy, industry and science, fisheries problems com- g within' the scope of the last two. Siam's Resources Great. Siam is one of the most progres- sive of eastern countries,” said Dr. Smith on the eve of his departure and is looking to the greatest p sible development along sane line It has great resources, some already well developed, others. perhaps, un- touched. It offers a splendid field, and I am glad of the opportunity.” Siam has a coast line of 1,200 miles Jong and also many large rivers. Its fish supply is of the greatest impor- 1ange, for its 10,000,000 people eat fish in preference to any other animal food. In faet, it has been stated that they would eat it every day if possible, but the depletion of its supply of fresh- water fish makes this at present im- possible. Its fisheries have received | little, If any, sclentific treatment and consideration, and there appear to be ®mreat possibilities in promoting its fishing industry both by preventing further waste and by building up depleted resources. Will Establish Hatcherles. The Siamese government is anxious that forms of fish culture work adapt- ed to their waters be i vted, and Dr. Smith {s therefore taking with him cultural apparatus to use experi- mentally in various parts of the King- dom, looking to eventual establish-{ ment of hatcheries where most need- ed. When not in the fleld he will e Bangkok, the capital. his head- quarters. Dr. Smith is 2 native of this city, his ancestors for five generations having lived in the District. While 1upil in the high school his inter in scientific matters was aroused by Prof. Spencer Fullerton Baird, and in 1586 he entered the burenu of fisheries, then ocalled the fish com- inission, under Prof. Baird, who was the first commissioner. Dr. Smith cerved, therefore, under all his pred- | ecessors and was the only comm sioner to have risen from the rank: He was succeeded by Henry O'M. lev, present commissioner, in M 1922, Made Commissioner in 1913. After passing upward through va- rious grades, Dr. Smith was appoint- ed deputy commissioner in 1503, this position having been espectuily cro- ated by Congress. He served therein ten vears when he was promoted to Le commissioner. The departing scientist represented the government at various important international fisheries gatherings. He traveled extensively to investigate fisheries conditions of the United States, its outlying possessions and ©of numerous foreign countries. A Tumber of his trips were Into in- | accessible regions. During his con- | nection with the bureau he was one | of the world’s most voluminous con- tributers to the iiterature of fisheries, while his administration_as_commis- Sioner was noteworthy. both from a scientific and an economic stand- point. Dr. Smith is a former presi- dent of the Biological Society und of the Cosmos Club. _Last September Dr. Smith visited Uruguay at the request of the gov- ernment of that republic to Investi- Zate and advise it concerning its fur | seal industry. The Alaskan herds of | fur seals, now carefully protected and conserved, come under the jurisdic- tion of the United States fisheries bureau. He returned last January. CAVALRYMEN SHOW WARFARE TACTICS Business Men Special Guests at Maneuvers on Monument Grounds.” An exhibition of mounted and dis- fmounted tactics used in warfare was Eiven by Troop G, 3d Cavalry, Capt. Morris S. Daniels, jr., commanding, &t the third of a series of military maneuvers being given at the Monu- ment grounds, at the north of the ‘Washington Monument, yesterday af- ternoon. Special guests for the occasion in- cluded members of the United States Chamber of Commerce, the Washing- ton Chamber of Commerce and the Washington Board of .Trade. An attack upon a machine gun em placement was demondtrated. It wa: assumed that a battery of artillery belonging to the cavalry had brought the machine guns under fire and to & certain _extent wrecked the barbed Wire entanglements and_ other ob- stacles which the enemy had erected for its protection. The cavalry advances, dismounted, under the protection of a barrage fire from its own artillery, until with- in a hundred yards of the enemy’s po- sition, when "the artillery ceased to re. Here the cavalrymen. remounted and armed with rifles and pistols, ad- vanced upon the enemy, and, finally, through a flank movement gained fire superiority and charged their posi- tion, putting them to rout. The purpose of the demonstration was to show the use of the horse in carrying men rapidly over machine gun and rifle swept territory. Following the exhibition the troop gave an exhibition of jumping, the most spectacular of which was that of the horse and rider goirg over a barrier over which was a flaming 00D. COLUMNS ALLOWED FOR ALLAH GARDEN Some idea of the claborate “Garden of Allah” to be laid off in. front of the White House for the Shrine con- ventlon was revealed today in the announcement by the Cammissionérs that the Shrine committee has been authorized to erect twelve Egyptian columns betweerr 15th and 17th streets, on Pennsylvania avenue.

TFhe Prince of Wales took & prominent part in the proceedings #nd doubtless learned much that will be turned to good account when he enters the marrlage state nimself. Wales and his brother, Prince lienry, acted as best men, but it was Walex who produced the ring at the crit- ical moment. The cight bridesmaids were chosen mainly from among the personal friends of the bride. They" wers dressed in immaculate ivory waite crepe chiffon trimmed with Nottlng- ham lece, und presented a fairylike plcture. Lady Elizabeth wae attired fn an exquisite gown of white ivory moire chiffon: embellished with bands of sliver and pearl embroidery. A 1f- teen-foot train of {vory-colored net hung from her shoulders. Duke Wears Uniform. The duke was dressed in the uni- form of an officer of the royal air force. King George wore the fleld uniform of a general, while Queon Mary's attire was a gown of blue ani silver. Seats were limited to those on in- timate terms with the families of the bride and bridegroom, or whose official lor social status entitled them to th distinction of witnessing the ceremony. George Harvey, the American ambassa- dor, was a striking figure in tight velvet knee breeches, silk stockingy and other court regalia, while Mrs. Harvey at- acted wide attention in her gown of beige crepe with overdress of black lace and sash and vest of belge crepe em- broidered in orientul colors. She wore sable furs and a black crinoline hat trimmed with lace bows. In all nine Americans witnessed the ceremony. _In addition to Ambassador and Mrs. Harver these favored guests ‘ere seven of the American newspaper men in London, who cast lots for the opportunity of writing eyewitness de- scriptions ~ of the service and the gorgeous spectacle it afforded. Procession Beautiful. The faces of the sovercigns were radiant as the tall, erect figure of their son, with Wales on hiy left, walked to the altar, followed soon after by the bride upon the arm of her father, the Earl of Strathmore. The strident, statefy strains of the ead - Us, Heavenly Father, " lent & note of beauty to the procession. The ised and shortened exhortation, as approved in the new English prayer book, was pronounced by the Dean of West- minster, and then the archbishop asked the vital “Wilt thou?" Turn- ing to his bride, Albert said, “I take thee for better, for worse: for richer, for poorer; in sickness and in health: to love and to cherish until death us do part, according to God's holy ordi- nance; and thereto I plight my troth.” Bride Repeats Vow. The prelate thea received the bride from her father. She then repeated tite solemn words: “l take thee, Albert Frederick Ar- thur George, to be my wedded hus- band, to have and to hold from this day forward; for better, for wor for richer, for poorer; in sickness and in heal to love, cherish and obe; until death us do part.’ ‘The archbishop then bestowed his blessing on the pair and a prayer was recited. This was followed by & sec- ond blessing and an address by the Archbishop of York. ‘While the duke and his bride were signing the register in the chapel of Edward the Confessor the tholr sang the anthem, “Beloved, Let Us Love One Another,” and, as the royal co ple left, the inupiring cadences of Mendelssohn’s “Wedding March” rang ugh the arched domes of the great abbe: Emerging into the street the duke and his bride were greeted by a peal of the abbey chimes. This was the signal for a deafening shout of ac- claim from 50,000 throats, as the mul- titude outside the abbey, craning their necks and standing on tiptoe to catch a glimpse of the couple, saw them step into their gorgeous car- riage of glass and gold, for the drive to Buckingham Palace. Vast Crowds Cheer. Parllament Square was a sea of faces. Above the crowd rose St. Gau- den’s massive bronze statue of Lin- coln, the somber figure of the great American casting a benignant expre sion over the tumultous scene. Eight thousand policemen, 500 mounted oM- cers and numberless detectives from Scotland Yard kept order along the mile-and-a-quarter route from the ab- bey to the palace. Outside the great religious shrine and all around Par- |llament Square were acres of wooden stands, for seats on which Londoners, provincials and Amerioans paid ex- travagant prices. Some of the occu- pants of these points of vantage were old men who had witnessed Queen Victoria's jubilee procession, the coro- nations of Edward and George and the wedding of Princess Mary as well. Every building in the neighborhood was festooned with vivid red buntin royal crests and countless banners and flags. The Stars and Stripes was not lacking.

At the express wish of Albert, 800 disabled soldiers, still suffering from wounds infiicted in the worid war, viewed the procession from a grand- stand erected opposite the abbey. From the balconies and windows of Westminster Hospital thousands of other war invalids saw the stirring event. Expressive of the prince's love of children was the presence outside the abbey of several thousand school youngster: They roared a mighty welcome as their royal patron came out of the church, arm in arm, with his duchess.

Each youngster received a box containing a morsel of true royal wedding cake. As the royal coach bearing the young couple trundled to Buckingham Palace between the llnes of lavishly accoutered soldiers and officers of the Cold §tream, Grenadier, Scots, Irish and Welsh Guards, the vast a semblage of people could discern through the broad glass windows a vehicle far grander than Cinderella's the wingome features of their new duche: ed, she seemed to of what a s rrived at the pi cres- cendo of cheers from thelir well-wish- e Cake 3,000 Poundy. The king and queen held & recep- tion in the paiace and the bride and bridegroom were showered with con- gratulations and good wishes on every side. The reception was followed by & luncheon at which the gigantic wedding cake—it weighted 3,000 pounds—was cut. A plece went to each guest, who made a wish bLefore taking the first bite. Soon after 4 o'clock the duke and duchess left for the Waterloo sta- tion, the king and queen flooding them with an avalanche of rice as they departed. At the terminal a other great crowd sped the couple on their honeymoon journey to Surrey. Many Stand fn Rain. Ratn that fell throughout the night did not deter several hundred stal- warts from keeping an all-night vigil on the streets, and at 7 o'clock this morning more than a thousand_were waiting on the plaza before Buck- ingham Palace, and in the open es n the vicinity of Parliament Square. “rom the embankment, where Lon- don's homeless find a refuge, each night in the shadow of the bridges and the protecting ledges of the ri walls, came beggars asking for coins with which to buy break- fast at the coffee stalls. However, the mendicants and the impromptu street restaurants were soon hustled out of sight fy the squads of police. Thers were seemingly endless lines of helmeted officers in Thort rain capes, which made them appear much as though they had been Imported for the occasion from x grotesque ballet. In fact several hours before the cor- tege eared there were more “bobbies” than spectators. At 9 o'clock troops in full dress, wearing the bearskin headdress, the scarlet Jacket and the white belt, half hidden by the great coat, began to line the route from the palace to the {abbey. Mounted bands struck up thelr tunes, and to their spirited marches tramped half of London's millions, who were endeavoring to Bet near the scenes of pageantry. Fashionable Mayfair aristocrats, cockneys from the cast end. provin cials up from Somerset and Cornwall kilted Highlanders down from Sco land, found common bonds of fellow- ship’in their scramble for a view of the wedding. By 10 o'clock the royal borough of Westminster was a vast amphithea- ter and the great abbey itself, cut off from the rest of the city by barrw cades erected overnight, looked out over more than a mililon persons surging in the streets beyond the barriers. When traffic was stopped in_the Westminster district familiar Lon- don had disappeared beneath a color- ful covering of flags, bunting and people. From the pavements to the countless chimney pots the serried lines of spectators rose tier on tier in the great siands. On the pave- ments scores of street workers scat- tered gravel and then a coating of clean, yellow sand, turning the black- ened rain-washed surfaces into broad golden paths over which crunched the autuomobiles, coaches and car- riages of the privileged ones en route i to_the abbey. The guests of lowest rank—the shop girls and working boys who were the special guests of the duke— arrived first. They were followed by the distinguished commoners, soldiers, statesmen, diplomats, princes and princesses. The spectacle was com- pleted with the arrival of the state carriages bringing the ermine-robed king and queen, who waited at the abbey door for the bride and groom. BRIDE IS ENGLISH. LONDON, April 26.—Those who have been happy in the bellef that the Duke of York is marrying a Scotch girl recelved something of a shock to- day, when they read in the Daily Ex- press, in a statement by Arthur C. Fox Davies, the distinguished gene- ologist, that Lady Elizabeth is not Scotch, but English. Mr. Fox-Davies traces the new duchess’ ancestry back to the first Duke of York, ho was born in_ 1341, and from whom the present Duke of York is descended.
