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.
