not seriously affect the Panama-Pacific
Exposition. II will open on its schedule
time. February 20. 1915. Neither VIII
the war affect Arkansas plans for
participation in the Exposition. The
preliminary work is progressing salts
factorily. insuring that the representa-
ton from this state will be all its most
enthusiastic citizens might expect.
Col F. B. T. Hollenberg. commission
sr-general for Arkansas. on NeuheS-
day received telegram from Charles
c. Moore. president OF the exposition,
asking for information as 10 the atu-
tude this state will assume toward
the enterprise in view of the disturb
INK character OF the European war. II
il the desire OF the national govern
ment through the Department OF State
to proclaim to the world that there Will
be no postponement of the exposition.

1T should be borne In mind says
President Moore" that the commercial
importance of the Panama.Pacitic In
ternational Exposition Is enormously
enhanced by the economic situation
arising from the European war. Much
as the situation itself must be de-
plored. il is useless to deny that II
has aspects OF advantage to the ma
tons at peace Expert opinion is
practically unanimous that the war
will give a powerful impetus to almost
every branch OF commercial activity in
this country. Far-seeing manufacturers
with this In mind already are deluging
us with requests for increased exhibit
space in which to show their goods TO
the great distributors and consumers
OF Central and South America and the
Orient These manufacturers prophesy
an enormous broadening OF the market
for practically all American products
and manufactures Regarding attend
apce the effect OF the European war.
in the opinion g those best qualified
TO Judge, will be rather to Increase
than to diminish travel 10 California
IN 1915. There is certain TO be a
great exodus from Europe as soon as
transportation facilities will allow. The
usual enormous tide OF travel from
the United States to Europe will In
1915 undoubtedly be turned to Call
rornfa Furthermore. the American
farmer and small business man is
likely to have an even greater average
financial ability TO travel than he has
ever enjoyed before"

ton. and consultation with Governor
Havs and others. Commissioner Hol-
lsnberg replied as follows.
As YOU know our legislature did not
appropriate money for the Panama

cultural. horticultural, mines cduca-
