Japan India, Australia. New Zealand, the straits Settlements-the countries of Central and South America, and the | United States possess essions-Alaska. the Philippines. Hawaii and Guam-will i assemble displays which have never be- fore been equaled and could scarcely have been brought together at any former worlds exposition. The orien- tai displays. as indeed those from most parts of the world will be shipped by steamer and landed directly upon the exposition grounds. In anticipation of an early start the Philippine assembly has already appropriated $250,000 in gold for a government display at the exposition. The people of the Philip pines intend to illustrate the progress of the islands under American rule and will emphasize the fact that conditions and opportunities in the islands today are far different from the way they were pictured in wartimes. Private displays and concessions from the Phil ! ippines will augment the showing from the islands. In line with their policy to take every advantage of the new era opening upon the Pacific the commer
 cial bodies of the Philippines are open ing headquarters in New York.
 The two principal locations of the Panama Pacific International exposi- tion will be at Harbor View and in Golden Gate park. Harbor View lies as a crescent on San Francisco bay. midway between the ferry building and the Golden Gate. The west end of Golden Gate park, which will be used for exposition purposes, faces the Pa Ci1c ocean below the famous Cliff House.
 Adjoining the Harbor View site of the exposition the government will ex
 pend $1.S00. 900 upon the improvement of the Presidio military reservation, which will be really a part of the eE- position and will be the scene of the greatest government service display ever made. The government fisheries, Lighthouse. life saving. transport, well as all phases of military life. will be portrayed Transport docks will be
 built upon San Francisco bay at an ex-
 penditure of millions. The state of California will expend s9.000. 900, for
 which a bond issue has been author ized in the improvement of the San Francisco water front along San Fran
 cisco harbor. and when the exposition opens a wonderful marine boulevard connecting the prlnclpaI sites or the
 fair and following the shores of san Francisco bay along the commercial
 water front of the city. through the eX- position grounds and through the hilly
 slopes of the Presidio out 10 and be-
 yond the Golden Gate, will afford visi-
 tors a marvellous panorama not only
 of the exposition itself. but of the great
 hills that surround San Francisco bay,
 and tower up hundreds and even into
 the thousands of feet
 Vast Fleet of Battleships.
 Shortly after the exposition opens a
 composite fleet of the battleships of the world will gather in San Francisco har- l bor. From assurances now received it s is anticipated that between eighty and . a hundred foreign warships in addition t to those of the United States navy will
 participate in the demonstration and ] the sight of this vast international fleet . anchored in the harbor and in full view = of the thousands at Harbor View or g upon the various vantage points of the
 marine boulevard will be one of the ], splendid spectacles of history. This
