EXPOSITION OF AUTOS Application of the Machine to Agri cultural Purposes Proposed. PARIS, Dec. 11. American makers of automobiles are practically un represented at the fifth international exposition of automobiles which has just opened auspiciously at the Grand Palace, with President Loubet and several cabinet ministers among the throng of visitors. The vast atnpitheater was tilled with the latest types of racers and coaching r.nd ommeivial vehicles. chiefly ponderous and powerful French, Swiss and Belgian make's, con centrating with the few light, graceful American machines. Among the nov elties exhibited were automobile ca noes and launches. One of the latter. luxuriously equipped, was built for the sultan of Morocco. A representative of one of the Amer ican companies present said: 'The .ib. sence of American types is due to the fact that the American manufac turers are so busy supplying the home demand that they are unable to coin- pete with the European trade and the American types are chiefly for streets, whereas the mountain coaching of the continent requires powerful climbers." President Loubet gave special at tention to speed machines. He was al so struck with the numerous and re markable applications of automobiles to agriculture. The minister of ag riculture, M Mougeot, is said to have the intention of making a special study of the application of automo bile to agriculture.
