NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-The Ger
man Journal is about to issue a spe-
cial Panama Pacific Exposition prop
uganda publication in Berlin, with the
view Of demonstrating to the Ger
man officials, the leading manufac-
turers and publishers the magnitude
and attractions Of the 1915 fair.
1t will be the purpose of this spe-
cial edition to call attention of the
Germans to the fact that the Panama
Canal viii bring the Western shores
Of the American Hemisphere and the
markets Of the Orient closer to the
doors of the workshops. the marts
and exchanges Of Europe.
The German Government. as is
well known, decided some time ago
not to participate officially. but this
action aroused the opposition of the
manufacturers and exporters. who are
alive to the opportunity which this
event of world wide Importance gives

keep what they have
Opposition Organized.
Immediately after the decision of
the Government became known,
movement was set afoot by the New
York German Journal through it's edi-
tor, Theodore Sutro, and quickly gath
cred momentum under the powerful
and influential leadership Of the gi-
gantic German trans Atlantic ship
ping interests. headed by Ballin, of
the Hamburg American Line, and
Heineken, of the North German Lloyd,
to organize this opposition so as to
secure private German participation
which would be a true representation
Of the high condition of the German
industries
This movement became at once very
popular and headquarters were OPEN
ed in Berlin. Since then many large
trade organizations have passed reso-
lutiOns regretting the action of the
Government and pledging their sup
