Never before did Germany make so fine a
display OF her arts and industries at an in
fernational exposition. Deutehland's ex-
hibits rank with those Of Great Britain
and France in amount of space occupied,
about twelve acres. +. 1t has spent mere
money here than any other foreign nation,
France CLONE excepted. The amount ap-
propriated for this exposition by the Ger
man government was about three-quarters
Of million of dollars If to this sum be
added the monies expended here by pri-
vate exhibitors, the total of German out
lay viii be found to far exceed that Of any
other country. There are more exhibitors
here from Germany than any other foreign
country, their number being about 1--WE
thousand
Germany has the costliest and most i'm
pressive pavilion in the Manufactures
building. It has the largest and most
picturesque Of all the foreign buildings.
In Machinery hall and the Electricity
building it makes better showing than
any country save the United States Its
great Krupp gun and heavy forgings ex-
hibit, in a special building IS one Of the
sensations Of the fair. In the Transports
ton department It is more interesting
than any of its European rivals, Great Brit
ain alone excepted. In the Palace of Fine
Arts it is second among the foreign ma
tions, France alone taking precedence; and
from some points Of view Germany is
ahead even there. In horticulture Deuteh-
land is beautiful, for tits German florists
who have made Wooded island, that
charming bit Of landscape within the great
lagoons. blossom with the rose In the
Mining building Germany Is far ahead Of
any other foreign land. In Midway plais-
ance the German village and the German
military bands form striking and pop
ular feature of life in that cosmopolitan
thoroughfare
This rapid resume Of the status of the
German display at this greatest of worlds |
fairs shows how much right the son OF the |
Fatherland has TO feel proud of his native |
country when he walks through these |
amazing grounds. In the friendly rivalry |
of peace the empire has shown itself |
valiant, artistic, -enterprising, ingenious !
Two or three years ago, when prepara- !,
tions for this exposition were making |
throughout the civilized world, we were !
told that Germany would make a great |
effort; that she recognized this as an op- |
portunity not to be thrown away; that in
asmuch as the last two worlds fairs had
been held on French soil, where naturally
the Germans did not care to domuch, they
would eagerly seize upon this occasion as
one affording them the chance which they
had long awaited 90 show civilization that
the people of the empire had kept pace
with the steps of progress. Well, the Ger
mans have done it, and they have done it
royalty
There is so much here from the Father
land, so many things and features Of in

about them. But ] can say, in all candor,
