 "Thousands of we'll wishers of | the Panama-Pacific International
 Exposition in all parts of the world, have requested news of it's progress.
 Despite the natural effect of the grat war in Europe to minimize the public perspective of many impor- tant events, which, under more fav- orable conditions would have at tracted world wide attention, the un- precedented participation of many nations in the Exposition, includ- ing the participation of thirteen European nations and principalities has rendered the Exposition the ob- ject of international interest.
 "With it's mission fulfilled, the Exposition stands today as the greatest and most comprehensive celebration of modern times. In mag nitude and grandeur it has never been surpassed In the comprehens- iveness and modernness of it's ex- hibits, in it's great attendance, in a success that stands out in con- trast with the greatest war that the world has known, the Exposition has excelled every prediction. It has assembled the glories and achievements of all mankind, the finest products of, every civilized na- tion on earth, with forty-one coun- tries officially participating and every civilized region on earth rep resented among it's exhibitors.

 "In every detail of it's many fea- lures, even to the fact that it was enabled to pay off all it's indebted ness ($1 ,200,000) before it was two thirds over, the Exposition has prov- ed itself more wonderful than any other Exposition in history.

At this time, more than 15,o00,000 persons have passed through it's turnstiles to view its myriad glories, approximately 100000 exhibits being shown. Ex- elusive of the appraisal of this great collection of exhibits the Exposition represents an investment of more than $50,000,000. Its magnificent buildings, costly, colossal and dis tinctive in their architecture, have met with unequivocal praise from visitors from all parts of the world.
