The two peace movements inaugu
rated under distinct auspices have been
merged for their mutual benefit ir the
most friendly cooperation. The com
mit,ee for the celebration Of the 100
| years peace among English speaking
peoples" has for it's aim the erection OF
permanent memorials to mark an event
NO important In the history Of the world.
! The purpose Of the other committee
, Is to reveal by actual demonstration the
: marvellous progress made in the arts OF
civilization during these fruitful hum
dred years Of peace by bringing together
| in n great Anglo American exposition
in London the kinsfolk from each side
of the Atlantic with those marvellous
inventions and discoveries by which they
have rcvolutionized the industrial world.
These two parallel lines Of patriotic
! activity by uniting their efforts will
make the year 1914 one continuous
round Of International and family re-
joicing. The unity Of the interests.
duties and responsibilities Of these Two
bodies. and the scope Of the advantages
and opportunities which they respec-
lively and in common possess. should
result in ~ celebration between the Brit
ish ard American peoples which will be
worthy of the occasion and do much to
further promote international good will.
Preparations for the opening Of the
exposition have advanced 30 rapidly
that everything Ia now ready for ex-
hibitors to commence "setting their
houses In order"
The past four months have witnessed
an extraordinary demand for space
on the part of the exhibitors. Requests
have been pouring In not only from
organizations in Great Britain but even
more from American business concerns.
Already great quantities of space have
been allotted. and everything will be
ready for exhibitors to commence the
installation of their varied displays SO
that exhibits shall be completely ready
M May ! next, the date fixed for the
opening. Never before in all the his
tory q: exhibitions have the preliminary
arrangements been completed 40 far In
| advance. and the result IL triumph
| of organization for all concerned.
The demand for space can he gagged
from the fact that the Authorization
section has applied for n building twice
| the size Of that originally given to II;
| the Decorative Arts and the Textile
sections have asked for a 30 per cent
| Increase In their space while the pow
erfully organized Chemical Trades sec
ton has just asked for "a locality four
times as large as that at first ordered.
Electrical and Mechanical Engineering.
Mining and Metallurgy are going
equally strong.
Much interest has been aroused ny
the news that one great building will
he given up to a huge model Of the
Panama Canal. II is only natural that.
in accordance with the main object Of
tho exhibition-the celebration OF the
Centenary Of Peace between Great Brit
ain and America and the STRENGTHENING
Of the ties of friendship between the
two nations--that the Panama Canal
should be in evidence. II is therefore.
not surprising that one OF the most i'm
portant buildings will be given up TO
an enormous model OF the canal.
