yesterday he said.
II first went to New York whore I at

then went 10 Europe for further work in
the hospitals. / first visited London, af-
forwards going 10 Scotland, where / Wis

the exposition IL much larger. There are
greater number of nations participant

Electrical. Army and Navy and several
others are finer than the corresponding
ones at the Worlds fair But from an
architectural point OF view the Paris ex-
position does not compare with the Chi

not compare with the latter from an ar
