NORTH SHORE BREEZE q 
Germany Knows How to play the war game; every 
move counts and no move is an error. There was no 
particular merit in the Hartlepool incident, but it was 
perpetrated with a purpose. The Agardir incident throws 
a flood of light upon Germany’s methods. Into a 
Morocco harbor a German cruiser steamed. Germany 
wished to discover whether an alliance existed secretly 
between France and England. She found out. The 
underlying motive that impelled the Whitby attack was 
successful. As an incident to rattle the nerves of the 
English people it was a failure. Such an idea is not 
reasonable. Four German battle line vessels were not 
sent out for that simple purpose. The bombardment 
was an incidental item in a larger problem. But Ger- 
many has nevertheless done Lord Kitchener a good turn.

Ep.) 
The Panama-Pacific International 
Exposition has been authorized by 
Act of Congress of the United States 
as the nation’s celebration of the con- 
struction and opening of the Panama 
Canal. It is officially located at San 
Francisco, the central and dominant 
harbor city of the Pacific Slope. By 
proclamation of the President of the 
United States the nations of the 
earth have been invited to participate 
therein. 
The exposition will be held in the 
year 1915, opening February 2oth, 
closing December 4th, a period of 
288 days. 
On the day it opens it will repre- 
sent an aggregate expenditure of 
about fifty million dollars. A sum 
of about $20,000,000 has been raised 
entirely by the citizens of California, 
to enable them properly to perform 
the duties entrusted to them by the 
nation. 
Actual construction work was pub- 
licly begun October 14, I9QII, Presi-

New areas of productivity will de-

changes will be established. 
The location of this celebration on 
the line of what is termed “the meet- 
ing place of the East and West,” will, 
therefore, best enable the Exposition 
to illustrate and emphasize the good 
work of the Canal, and must prove 
of the greatest geographical conveni- 
ence to all countries and peoples. 
The influence of the Canal upon 
the world’s commerce and civilization 
has been considered in the plan of the 
exposition. It is made contempor- 
imposing and beautiful, its classifica- 
tion of exhibits comprehensive and 
its power for good should be greater 
than that of any previous Interna- 
tional Exposition.

setts will be adequately represented
