The Nippon Dai Hakuran Kwaf which
means in English the great exposition of

1st of April, 1912. when the cherry trees
are In their glory, and will continue un-
til the 31st of October. when the chrysan-
themums are beginning to bloom 1t will
be the first international exposition ever
held In the far east, and will be upon a
magnificent scale, larger than any inter-
national exposition except, perhaps, those
at Chicago, st. Louis and Paris Invita-
tions have been sent to the governments
of all the civilized nations. and the Of
fcial communication through the Japa-
nese embassy says: 1T is earnestly hoped
that the governments and peoples of the
different countries will participate" "The
object of the proposed exposition" as ex-
planned by the invitation. 'is primarily
to widen the knowledge of the Japanese
people regarding the industrial develop
ment Of the different countries and it is
hoped that by attracting visitors from all
parts OF the world 1t may serve, Incl
dentally. as medium of conveying to the
peoples of the different countries a fuller
knowledge respecting the industrial con-
Iition of Japan"

erected and set apart by the imperial gov
ernment for such exhibits as are intended
TO represent the latest developments in the

ple Germany appreciates the advantages
offered by such occasions. 1t was first
at Chicago, first at ST. Louis and first at
Paris. No great international exposition
has ever been held in Germany, but no
nation has ever spent so much money, or
taken so much pains to display its arts
and industries at those given In other
countries. And it goes without saying
that Germany will have the best location.

the galleries Delegates were drop
ping into their seats exhausted, and
white-faced women, some of them
weeping from excitement, were being
helped to doors and windows for a
breath of fresh air, of which there
was great need, for the vast hall was
like a furnace.

it was still resounding and vigorous

turned out except two big clusters in

fell into their seats.

the melody they were making was in
audible in the tornado of vocal energy
that swept up to the walls and star
bedecked ceilings and descended
again with tympanum splitting force.
The leader of the band switched
from general airs to old familiar
tunes that any American can sing.
The first was the Red, White and
Blue. A few in the galleries took
up the words, the spirit spread, and
in few seconds the words were in
