May 21.?Dele- I ations representing more than venty nations and consisting ot the lost noted experts in inland and cean navigation of their respective Duntrles have already arrived in bis city and additional delegations \ re expected to reach Philadelphia ] >day and tomorrow, in time for the , penlng of the Twelfth International ] ongress of Navigation, on Thurs- i ay. In - accordance with the ar- j angements of the local committee it i charge of the congress the great- * r part of tomorrow will be devoted > a general reception and mutual In- | redaction of the delegates. The t ongress will hold its first general 1 iseting at the Metropolitan Opera ] louse on Thursday and it is expect- ( d that President Taft, who has ac epted the honorary presidency and ' ms prdmlsedTlo attend the opening . lesslon, will deliver the opening adIress. Response will be made by M. Uexls Dufrourny of Brussels, a high tfficer of the Belgium Engineering 2orps, who is one of the former presdents of the International Congress. This will be the first time that one i )f these congresses is held in the United States. Previous congresses Nlave all been held In Europe, the last at St. Petersburg in 1908! Preceding this there were similar congresses at intervals of three or four years In Beglium, Prance. Italy, England, Germany, Holland and Aus i..o. nnu oacii congress interest ind attendance increased as the nations realised the valuable work being done. The discussions and conclusions of these gatherings form the best existing guide for all navigation problems that may arise, because they represent the world's best experts. The Invitation- to hold the twelfth congress in America was accepted with enthusiasm because this country offers wha is largely a new and quite enormous field for the attention of navigation experts and a great number of new and highly important problems growing out* of the Panama Canal, the Cape Cod Canal tnd the numerous inland canals and waterways planned or in course of construction in the United States. The recent Titanic disaster has made the safety of ocean travel a subject of the most intense interest to all seafaring nations and the dlcusaion by the unfortunate event will form part of the program and will undoubtedly ,occupy the attention of the Congress for some time. In view of the many new and exceedingly important questfon to be considered during the five, days' session of the Congress and in view, alser of the Unusually large attendance, it is Bxpected that this congress will I greatly surpass its predecessors in Interest and Importance. It is exepcted that more than thir- I ty nations of the world will be represented at this congress by official delegates and in addition by a large number of unofficial delegates, mostly navigation experts and engineers prominently ?identified with inland jor ocean navigation in their respective countries. .
