, hibtts.
To Glasgow belongs the distinctio
of holding the first international ex
hibition in the twentieth century, an
well it deserves the honor. Glasgow
is the center of the Scottish iron an
steel industry of the coal trade, o
shipping and shipbuilding, bankin!
and insurance-in short, it is thu
commercial metropolis of Scotland
and in point of population secont
ONLY to London amongst the cities o
the United Kingdom. It's reputation
for municipal enterprise, for indus
Trial activity, and as a seat of art an(
learning is universal: it's ships ira
verse the waterways Of the world it,
sons guide the affairs of state.
Glasgow is no novice at the work OF
holding an internatioal exhibition
Thirteen years ago an exhibition was
held In Kelvingrove Park, and proved
u most signal success. The same spa
cious grounds accommodate the
present international exhibition,

| Glasgow seeks to repeat the ssucces
achieved in 1883, and appeals to the
peoples of all countries to assist her.
So far the nations have recognized
| Glasgow's qualifications to organize
and conduct an exhibition by appro-
priating every inch of space and much
| more would have been taken If it had
been available. Such liberal support
| indisputably proves the character Of
| the exhibition. 1t Is International
from beginning to end-in representa-
| ton, in exhibits, in amusements, and
in every other respect. The fact de-
serves to be emphasized that Glas-
COWS exhibition is not a speculative
bazaar run for personal profit. 1t is
held with the sanction Of the city,
and carries the approval Of its CONNER
cial rivals. who will send of the best
to join in friendly competition. AS in
I'SS, any profit will be devoted to the
promotion of science and art. under
the direction of the city corporation.
The scheme was launched as far
back as 1897, and ever since workmen
have been busy preparing the range of
buildings in which the exhibition to
located. No time has been lost, and the
executives intend 40 repeat their former
feat of having everything completely
ready for the opening day-a record
which nobody has hitherto approached,
From the first day to the last this ex-
hibltion will merit the attention of all
men, statesman or scientist, merchant
or manufa cturer engineer or agricul-
turist, tradesmen, teachers and taught.
When an International exhibition is
mentioned one naturally asks who's to
be there? The question is reasonable,
and here is Glasgow's answer: Repre-
sentatives from all parts of the world
Four continents will meet at the second
city of the kingdom, and almost score
of nationalties will combine to make
the most comprehensive International
exhibition ever held in Great Britain. !
OF European countries, France, Russia, |
Austria and Denmark have taken all |
the space that could be allotted to them;
while japan, Morocco and Persia each |
occupy a separate pavilion characteris-
tic of the country and its inhabitants. |
Among British possessions will be found |
India. Canada, Queensland, Western

such large numbers may be accepted as
one of the first fruits of the new spirit
Of nationality and citizenship which,
nurtured in time Of war, promises to
fulfil it's highest mission in time of
peace

and, Russia is the largest exhibitor,
