housand one hundred entries. The
whole second and third floor of the
ipacious Record Foundry building is

‘c-wness of the ceilings the exhibits of
he live stock branch of, the Domi-,
lion Department of Agriculture at Ot-i
;awa and the Experimental Farm from ‘
Nappan, N. S., could not be all set
lp. Nevertheless they present an
ittractive appearance.
Oil the first floor of the exhibit are
he Mediterranean classes as well as

Tile Asiatics, French, Utility Poul-
ry,_ mating and breeding pens as well
».s turkeys and waterfowl are found
in the second floor.

LONDON, Dec. 15.-(Phe morning
lspers give prominence to German
speculation regarding the forthcom-
ing speech of Chancellor Vovn*Bei.h-
mann-Hollweg as recorded by their
correspondents in Holland.
Many guesses are given as to what
secrets will be divulged, and most of
‘these centre on the supposition that
the Cbsncellor's declaration will con-
cern peece. The Berlin Vorweerts ie
quoted as saying: "Germany is now
in a position to address a terrible
warning to the coiiilciences of those
.who prolong the werz" -
Another Berlin suggestion is that
the Emperor in going to change his
title of German Emperor to Emperor
of .Germany This recalls the feet
