 TWEEN TWO NATIONS

will get together in an eXposi ion that promises to go far beyond anything of the kind in which they have been interested heretofore.
 The year 1914 brings the centenary anniversary of he signing of the treaty of Ghent, which has resulted in ono hundred years of peaceful and friendly relation between the two countries. and 1t is proposed to rec ognize this anniversary in a way that shall fittingly commemorate it's i'm portance as well as illustrate in a definite way just how influential the swo countries have teen in the ma terlal progress of the world.
 The idea of a practical demonstra- ton 10 commemorate as well as to celebrato this one hundred years of peace. has taken root in a way ,o en- sure unusually interesting results, and the Anglo-American Exposition, as it will be called, has assumed an aspect that promises to unite the two na- ticns more closely than ever.
 l. will be an occasion of joining hands across the sea after a fashion never before attempted. and the scope of .he undertaking provides for ex- hiLlts that vii illustrate what the United States and the United King dom have done for he world in the century just closing, in every branch of industry. art. science. and educa- ton. and will include historical sum- mary of the progress of the two coun- trles for a century.
 The plan of dual exposition of American and British products was first definitely suggested at a meeting of the American Society in London in 1908. at which the late Ambassador Reid presided. In his remarks he said: Tt has been borne in upon a good mary of the American residenls in London engaged in business here. that they see under their eyes the first opportunity in the history of the world as far as International exhibits are concerned of having one ready on time with the buildings already con structed and with nothing to be done but to get manufacturers ready io eX- h'tit to come in and take possession"
 From time to time since these re- marks were made, the projec. has been discussed by members of the . American Society in London, and cul- minated in decision that the cen tenary of this year would be the pro per occasion.
 Definite plans were adopted and an inaugural nee ing was held at the Mansion House. London, on March 26th of last year. at wAich the Right Honorable Lord Mayor of London, Sir David Burnett, presided. It was then decised to conduct this dual exposi- ion of the British and American pro- duets: also to serve as an exhibition [ of progress achieved in education, science, literature, inventions and i'm. provements in social life as well as betterment of the conditions of work , Ing men and women, thus placing be- fore the world the fruits of the intel lect and genius of the people of bo.h nations.
 5 The Lord Mayor, inclosiug his ad- dress at this meeting. said: No ex- position has ever been afforded such unique and interesting opportunities. r and certainly '.here never was an oc- casion more fitting for great expo sition of the work and achievements of two nations of the same blood, celebrating their hundrs.h anniver- { sary of peace and concord. where peo- pie of the same family, although sep srated by d great ocean, will be able to join hand fin hand to unite in snap r ing their mutual destinies, and as kinsmen advancing he welfare of hu- manity and ofthe whole civilized world"
 The disinterested motives of those Q who are more prominently identifie n with the execution of this plan is in- dica.ed by the following resolution proposed by MT. Ginnell. NJ. F., sec onded by the Lord Mayor of Cardiff, n and adopted by an unanimous vote:
 Resolved, that all profits derived from the Anglo-American Exposition. s 1914, by the committee shall be de- S voted 70 some public object of national utility to the Kingdoms and to the
 United States"
 The site of the exposition, which l. will be open from May to October V 1914, is the Shepherds Bush section of London, where have been con- '' structed an imposing group of exhibi' ton Buildings. These buildings oc- h cnpy tract of more than 150 acres
