George Gordon Moore, tn

For Gen. Str John French
Comes From British Army
Headquarters to Look Af-

SAYS HE EXPECTS
TO GO BACK SOON

George Gordon Moore, the American
traction man whose intimacy with Sir
John French. the British commander. has
gained him freedom at the British
headquarters somewhere in France"
that is causing criticism and wonder
ment in England. has come to this coun-
try TO look after his extensive interests
in and about Detroit. Mich.
At the Hotel Manhattan yesterday
Mr.. Moore denied that his leaving the
Continent was concerned with recent
articles in London and New York news
papers intimating that Sir John French
was showing his American friend too
great consideration. He denied also that
there was friction between the British
Commander and Lord Kitchener
''Slr John French is a great General"
he said with enthusiasm. IA very great

Impression His Looks give.
Mr. Moore looks almost anything but
the remarkably successful business man,
lawyer and promoter that he Is. One gets
the Impression OF an Englishman living
on his income rather than Of a man who
two years ago at the age OF 81. had so
successfully managed many American
corporations that he could retire from
active business. He was admitted TO the
bar when 81 and is a principal owner
Of public utilities in Michigan. Georgia,
Nebraska. Canada and Brazil.
This man who is so close to the
great British field commander is below
middle height. quiet OF manner and with
soft. almost lisping. voice. and pos
sessed OF a most contagious and omni-
present smile. His IL the face OF n man
rather fond of the good things of life.
not one who is the bosom friend OF the
General commanding nobody knows how
many hundreds OF thousands OF fight
ing men.
II was difficult to imagine such a
man. with his soft voice, his white
hands, his almost chubby face and even.
white teeth, spending almost all his time
small influence in the conduct of the
British campaign. II seems strange also
that Mr. Moore and Sir John French
until the war began should have lived
together In a large house at Lancaster
Gate. overlooking Kensington Gardens.
They were 80 inseparable that the Amer
