WAR BUREAU TELLS IOF FRENCH VEL COME
 TO BRITISH ARMY

London, Aug. r, 9:55 D. m.-T'he off, cial war information bureau announc- es that the British expeditionary forces have landed safely on the
 Frederick E. Smith. the Unionist member of parliament who is acting as director of the official press bureau of the British war office and admiral ty, issued the following statement to the English newspape tonight:
 Field Marshal Earl Kitchener wish es me to add that he and the country are under the greatest obligation to the British press for the loyalty with which all references to the movements of the British -expeditionary force and their landing on the continent had been suppressed.
 Earl Kitchener is well aware that much anxiety must have been caused to the English press by the knowledge that these matters were being freely discussed in the continental press and he wishes to assure the press of this country that nothing but his convic- tion of the military imp portance to this country of the suppression of these mov ements would have led him to is- sue instructions which placed the press of this country under temporary disadva ntage''
 MT Smiths statement continues: Field Marshal Sir John French ar rived in Paris shortly after midnight on Saturday to convey the salutations of the British nation ito France. The commando chief of the British ex- peditionary, army was welcomed by several distinguished officers of the French general staff, the British ann bassaGor in Paris and a number of French cabinet ministers.
 "As Sir John French, dressed in his khaki uniform, stepped from the train i'm the French capital a roar of cheer inE for England and France rose from the great crowd Swhfch had assembled. and the people then sang the national anthems of the two countries.
 'sSir John French drove to the Brit ish embassy, and his motor car, all the way through the streets, was the center of a human whirlpool. Even the police were excited and they were wholly unable to restrain the popu- lace, which surged around the car General French. Hurrah for Eng land! Hurrah for Francer Women held children above the crowd to see the famous English general whose mo- tor car was soon filled with small flags and cockades.
 '"The coincidence of the British com nander-in-chief's name being French is regarded is a. happy augury for the allies.
 After sleeping at the embassy, Sir John French paid a visit to the palace of the E1ySee where he had a, long conference with President PoincareA

GERMAN ADVANCE UPON BRUSSELS, IS
 ENGLISH REPORT

London, Aug. 18-The Germans are reported as marching on Brussels by the Brussels. correspondence of the Daily Mail
 Telegraphing last night he says:
 'Tn this peaceful city 1t is impossible to realize it is only a long days march away. The life of the city goes on as usual The cafes and shops are thronged, trains are working to the minute but despite this outward calm significant events have been chron- icled. Trenches are being thrown up feverish1y in the environs of the city while exhortations in large black type are being placarded right and left, call ing on the inhabitants for their own sakes not to engage in any hostile acts in the event of German occupation
 ''In the general atmosphere of nerve racking mystery one fact is abundant 1y plain. The Germans are in the mudd1e of the Mouse. Aerial observ- CTS paint pictures of chaos in the ene- mys ranks, consequent on the relent- less arrival of army corps upon army corps behind a. crippled front. The Emperor has dispat atched his legions by a stop watch btu owing to the hitch on the line at Liege, Teuton thoroughness is cutting both ways. Sixteen days for ae 30 mile advance from Aix-I<a Chappe1Ie to Diest can hardly be made the cause for many fHochs' and the mailed fist would appear to become a trifile rusty.
 Gallant little Belgium has prepared | to make a last stand at Antwerp. I There is no place in the situation for | which the Germans yearn more acute l ly than this Liverpool of the Neither lands but they will have to detach
 at least a half million men to take
 such well-defended city.

ENGLISH ARMY LANDED
 SAFE IN FRANCE
Expeditionary Force Took sev- eraI Days to Cross Channel. Owing to Size.
Men and Officers Are Warmly Greeted By French Allies As They arrive for Campaign.

London, (midnight) Aug. 17-Delayed by censor-The most important revela- ton of the day has been that of the landing of a British expeditionary army on the shores of France Every body in England has known for two weeks that a large army was crossing the Channel. The troops had been assembled at different bases. one of the largest contingents embarking at Dub lin. Many other regiments sailed from Liverpool while still others took ship at Eastbourne, Southampton and other ports along the coast of the English Channel
 The great canvas camps at the mil itary stations in England were struck only when it was known definitely that the f1otilla. of transports conveying the troops had finished the oversea movement under the escort of strong squadrons of warships.
 The transportation of the soldiers lasted several days and during that time not 8. mention of the expedition was permitted in the newspapers here. Even now the strength of the expedi- ton, the names of the regiments com posing the contingents and the ports at which they landed are not allowed to be made public
 It is known, however, that a large proportion of the best troops of the British regular army are now on con- tinental soil. The reception of the British soldiers everywhere in France --v enthusiastic. The officers and men of the, two armies fraternized warmly. It is pointed out in autheri7 tative circles here that the withdrawal of the Belgian government from Brus- se1s to Antwerp may mean that the fighting in Belgium is drawing closer to the capital or it may be merely a precautionary measure.
 Now that the three allied armies are working together on a coherent cam paign scheme, the policy of secrecy has been extended to Belgium and, as fountain of picturesque news, that country has suddenly dried up.
 The allied armies have decided for the present to bar all war cores pondents from accompanying the arm ies but it is thought the ban may be raised later when the military opera tions are well under way.
 The official news bureau says not a single casualty occurred during the authorization transportation and de- barkation of the men and stores of l the British expeditionary force, and everything was carried through with the greatest precision.

 '-J D. Saunders, assistant manager Detroit branch So1vay Process Co., We are employing the usual number son for our business, and for this time of the year our number of employees, about 1,700, and our output, are about nornal.'
 BRIGHT OUTLOOK.
 'F. R. Still, secretary American Blower Co.-.Better railroad condi- tions would help the American Blower Co.,, and I think that the runnor, which appears to have a good founda- ton, that the interstate commerce commission will grant the railroads an increase in rates of per cent, is hav- ing a good effect upon the prosperity of lumber, steel and allied industries. The American Blower Go. is ahead of where it. was last year, both in the number of men employed and in out put.
 z. Last week we had 676 men em- ployed. This is about 60 more than last year at this time. The same is true of our Troy, N- Y, factory. We are away ahead of where we were last year in value of products If the in dustrial business of the country picks up, we will probably increase our em- ployes to 9O0.'
 The American Car & Foundry Co. is preparing to increase it's working g ~force in anticipation of heavy orders for equipment from the railroads to help move the crops. During the past few months only small force has been kept busy, principally on repair work, the railroads ordering no new equipment pending the decision on in creased freight rates.
 The Detroit Oak Betting Go. is pre- pairing to reopen it's shops, which have been practically idle for some time. BANKERS AGREE
 That prospects for the early quick ening of business are good is the opinion also of prominent Detroit bankers. An official of one of the largest of the commercial banks stat | ed Thursday:
 The easy money market Is a great encouragement to enterprise. When pick up very quickly
 the automobile business and all other business, toe.' said vice-President | Keena, of the Peoples State bank. 1 Toward the latter part of August 1 is usually picks up rapidly and is in full swing by September. We have had a. brisk demand for money all the year, and if anything, this has in creased during the last few days
 t'Other bankers asserted that the de- mand for money had been brisk all during the spring. and some expressed a. hope that Congress would either ad- journ or dispose of the business 1egis- lation now before it, in d short time The sentiment Twas general that bus mess will become very brisk when ever the laws of the country become | certain"

They were given enthusiastic receptions by the population of Grerlo- ble.
 A news despatch from MarseiIles says that wounded soldiers arriving there from the French possession in Africa who made their first appear ance in the fighting around MueI- hausen, are the only French troops clad in khaki, the color closely re- sembling that of the German uniform The Germans nistook the Turcos for their own troops until they were close up and fell upon the German en- trenchment with a wild yell.

REPUBLICAN, PAPER ADMITS BUSINESS
 IS ON INCREASE


 Detroit, Mich Aug. 18-The Detroit Journal, a Republican newspaper and one of the strongest in this section of the country. prints the following as local news article:
 .sOf eleven Detroit manufacturers in terviewed, all declared that theyi were expecting an increase in business ae- tivftly before the end of the summer season, while four stated they actually were preparing to emp1oye more men and to turn out a greater product soon.
 S. saThe reason given by the optimistic for the return of prosperity were fhree:
 "A bumper grain crop.
 ssInerease in rates. expected to be granted railroads
 .sEfforts to bring Congress to 8 real azation of the real needs of American business.
 ssThe concensus of opinion was that the tide of prosperity which had been at a low ebb the last six months, was bound to flood back,
 t'Prosperity will not return with a rush, according to some of the man agers. Conditions now in most of the factories, are normal, many said
 PROSPERITY AHEAD
 The feeling seems to have become general that these men down in Wash  seriously upset business was the way IA H. Templeton. of the Morgan & Wright Co., expressed himself
 't I look for 1915 to be a year of mo- bile business. Many of the motor car companies have decreased their prices, and this will have a big effect on the motor car business next year.
 s"rhe proposed coming of Dodge Brothers, with a 1ew-priced car, into the automobile field; the fact that the output by next October, taking on many more men; the planned increase in the Hupp output; the fact that the Packard company is experiencing a wide demand for all it's cars and has doubled it's output of motor trucks perity must soon return, according to A1r. Templeton.
 Some of the opinions expressed by leading manufacturers follow:
 OUTPUT INCREASED.
 Frank L. KHngensmith. secretary Ford Motor Co.-..The fact that the Ford Motor Go is about toSfake on speaks for itself. When we will have done that, we will have reached our maximum-120O0 men. We haven't room here for more now, and are waiting until we increase our factory space to employ more. Of course, our output has been greatly ffcreas- ed.n
 Alvan AEacauIey, general manager of the Packard Motor Co.-.FWe are employing a good many more men now than we have for some months Our average for the last three months is about 5000, and it is a little over that now, but we are increasing the number of employees in nearly all de- partments. The increase is general and regular Five thousand is our normal. number of employees, although we have gone far above that figure The outlook appears to be bright. Un- fortunately. cannot ascribe it to the general b1sfn ness situation. Increased facilities for production have enabled less men The truck factory has deu- bIed its capacity this year.
