A WONDERFUL
EXPOSITION
A GLIMPSE OVER THE
MAGNANMITY OF ENTERPRISE
To those of us who have failed
to see the great exposition that is
being held at San Francisco, a
glimpse of the immensity of the en
terprise may be had from the fol
lowing excerpt of a statement re
pliments of the Editorial Bureau,
part is says:
To the Editor:—
This article is sent with the com
pliments of the Editorial Bpreau,
of the Panama-Pacific International
Exposition and is submitted for
Thursday, Nov. 4, 1915, one month
before the closing of the Exposition
on December 4, 1915.
“Thousands of well wishers of
the Panama-Pacific International
Exposition in all parts of the world,
have requested news of its progress.
“Despite the natural effect of the
grat war in Europe to minimize the
public perspective of many impor
tant events, which, under more fav
orable conditions would have at
tracted world wide attention, the un
precedented participation of many
nations in the Exposition, includ
ing the participation of thirteen
European nations and principalities
has rendered the Exposition the ob
ject of international interest.
“With its mission fulfilled, the
Exposition stands today as the
greatest and most comprehensive
celebration of modem times. In mag
nitude and grandeur it has never
been surpassed. In the comprehens
iveness and modernness of its ex
hibits, in its great attendance, in a
success that stands out in con
trast with the greatest war that
the world has known, the Exposition
has excelled every prediction. It
has assembled the glories and
achievements of all mankind, the
finest products of every civilized na
tion on earth, with forty-one coun
tries officially participating and
every civilized region on earth rep
resented among its exhibitors. The
vast assemblage of state and for
eign pavilions, the lofty exhibit
palaces designed by the most not
able of architects, the brilliancy of
the lighting scheme which proclaims
new methods in decorative illumin
ation, have met the warmest admir
ation from the thousands of vis
itors. The wonderful use of dec
orative sculptui’e, more than 1,500
individual pieces of sculpture or
groups being placed throughout the
grounds, and the use of many rare
trees, shrubs and palms from all
portions of the world have envelop
ed the celebration in grandeur.
“In every detail of its many fea
tures, even to the fact that it was
enabled to pay off all its indebted
ness ($1,200,000) before it was two
thirds over, the Exposition has prov
ed itself more wonderful than any
other Exposition in history. It
opened February 20th, upon schedule
time, completed in every detail ex
cept for the placing of some of the
European exhibits. At this time,
more than 15,000,000 persons have
passed through its turnstiles to view
its myriad glories, approximately
400,000 exhibits being shown. Ex
clusive of the appraisal of this great
collection of exhibits the Exposition
represents an investment of more
than $50,000,000. Its magnificent
buildings, costly, colossal and dis
tinctive in their architecture, have
met with unequivocal praise from
visitors from all parts of the world.
“The Exposition will close on Dec
ember 4, 1915, the date set for its
closing. President Charles C. Moore,
has stated that his annuncement is
to be accepted as final.”
BRITISH FLEET READY FOR
EMERGENCIES
Newspaper Men Were Shown How
German Blockade Failed
LONDON, Nov. 6—Graphic de
scriptions of the first visit of Brit
ish newspaper men to Great Brit
ain’s grand fleet are published by
all the morning papers. They unite
in paying tribute to the prepared
ness and efficiency of the British
navy, not only as to the main fight
ing units, but also to the less prom
inent but equally important auxil
iaries.
A naval officer aboard one of the
ships told the correspondent that In
addition to the war fleet proper
there are between 2,000 and 3,000
ships of the merchant marine em
ployed in transport and supply duty
and as many more engaged in pa
trol work of in “fighting the de
clining efforts of enemy subma
rines. The visitors were shown the
celebrated map which marks the
place where German submarines
have been captured, destroyed or
sunk, and methods for meeting the
submarine menace were explained to
them.
“We actually saw vessels engaged
in this anti-submarine business leav
ing port,” says one correspondent.
“Indeed, it is not necessary to go
outside the harbor to understand
why the blockade has failed. Here
at anchor, alongside one another, lay
the bane and the antidote.”
One full day of the visit was spent
in inspecting large new naval works
oStr auiit 1-loqs u qotq.w aotqd «
was swamp land, but which now is
a live and busy naval establishment,
which will be large enough when
completed to accommodate twenty
dreadaoughts. The works include
three dry docks each of which can
hold any ship afloat.
The party visited the battle cruis
ers Lion and Tiger, viewing the
patched funnels and shell wounds
received in the North sea battle.
