|SELLS-FLOTO SHOW
DOUBLED In Size
Addition Of Buffalo Bill and His
Men Made Many Great
Changes Necessary

This Ia the story Of no wa circus
grew--and Il also 10 the reason that
when the announcements were made
this year that the Sells Floto circus
and Buffalo Bill (himself) was big
ger and better" the phrase for once
kept out OF the category OF "old
stun" For the circus, which 70 to
hive one-day exhibition In Detroit.
Labor day, Monday, Sept. z. automat.
ically doubled In size within year
and here's how It happened.
When the Sells Floto circus took
Buffalo Bill and his company Of In
dams. rough riders and others as Q
part Of the attraction, expenses natu-
rally jumped. And since the price OF
rs cents for general admission was to
remain the same. It was necessary to
make room for more people that the
show might not lose money. There
fore, new tent was purchased with q
seating capacity. for $4,000 persons.
With q bigger tent necessarily there
was more room within the performing
arena, 20 two great steel arenas were
added to the three rings and two
stages. Two arenas meant more ami
NAL acts, 90 more animals were pur.
chased. Animals meant trainers
They were also engaged.
Then came the problem Of the hip
podrome. There was o time when 80
clowns looked like good many un.
der the old canvas. But the number
jumped 10 with the new tent And In
this way. everything else increased
around the circus: More aerialists,
more eQuestriennes, more acrobats--
It was an interiocking system which
began with doubled seating capac,
ity and ended with doubled circus
lin everything except the price.
And naturally with II all there
came new features. For instance
there are the ave u. 8. government
hyneys, new beasts produced by the
u. 8. department of agriculture: Fora
and her three herds OF performing
elephants; Buffalo Bill and his riders
ropers. Indians, soldiers, ranch girls
and cowboys In q spectacle called

Germans Fail TO Take
French Sea Po,fs

LONDON. Aug. 29.-That the Ger
mans operating In western Belgium
had planned to occupy the French
Belgian coast cities and thus hamper
the work Of the British In keeping
shore lines OF communication open
across the channel, but that they have
failed to accomplish their object, II
the position taken by the war ONCE.
The reason for failure has been the
inability TO detach enough infantry to
occupy the French department OF Pas
de-Calais. The German cavalry have
raided through great section OF the
country. and have moved south from
Ostend all along the coast But they
have been In detached parties and TO
ports received here today indicate
that no German infantry has been re-
ported anywhere near the coast.
The occupation of Ostend by Brit
ish marines was chiefly responsible
tor the failure OF the German move
ment. The German cavalry had pen
etrated the outskirts OF the city, and
were reported In force only seven
miles away whom the British entered
the town and mounted their rapid-nre
guns to command every approach 10
the city. They are now cooperating
with Belgian force. and II II report
ed here that the Belgians are plan
ming an active movement to drive the
Germans out OF Brussels.
