TWO
BRITONS TOLD THEIR
ARMY HAS LANDED IN
FRANCMEST TRODPS
Official Notification Does Not Disclose Strength of Expedi
tion. Policy of Secrecy Extended to Belgium Now That
Allies Have Joined Forces.
London, 9:55 p. m.—Thn official war
Information bureau announces that
the British expeditionary forces have
landed safely on the French shore.
Frederick E. Smith, unionist mem
ber of parliament, who la acting as
director of the official press bureau
of the war office and admiralty, Is
sued this statement:
"Field Marshal John French arrived
In Paris shortly after midnight on
Haturday to convey the salutations of
the British nation to France. Tho
commander-In-chlof of the British ex
peditionary army was welcomed by
severs I distinguished officers of the
French general staff, the British am
bassador In Paris and a number of
French cabinet ministers
Roar of ChoorinQ.
' "As Hlr John French, dressed In his
khaki uniform, stepped from the train
In the French capital a roar of cheer
ing for England and France rose from
tho great crowd which had assembled
and the people then snng the national
anthems of the two countrlea.
"Sir John French drove to the Brit
ish embassy nnd his motor car all
the way through the streets was th<
center of a. human whirlpool. Keen
the police were excited ad they were
wholly unable to restrain tbe popu
lace which surged around the ear
shouting rlaiporously "hurrah for
tlcneral French; hurrah for England!
hurrah for France.” Women held
children above the crowd to sec the
famous English general whose motor
car was soon filled with small flags
and cockades.
Happy Augury.
"The coincidence of the British
rommander-ln-chlera name being
French Is regarded as s happy augury
for the allies. After sleeping at tbe
embassy Sir John French paid a visit
to the Palace of the Elyaee, where
he had a long conference with Presi
dent Poincare."

Mr. Smith also thanked the British
press, In the name of Field Marshal
Earl Kitchener for their loyalty In
suppressing all references to move
ments of the British expedltonary
force.
Everybody In England has known
for two weeks that a large army wag
crossing the channel. The troops had
been assembled at different bases,
one of the largest contingents em
barking at Dublin, Ireland. Many
other regiments sailed from Liverpool,
while still others took ship at East
Bourns, Southampton, and other ports
along the English channel.
Not a Word.
The transportation of tho soldiers
lasted several days and during that
time not a mention of the expedition
was permitted to the newspapers
Even now the strength of the expe
dition. the names of tho regiments
composing the contingents and the
ports where they landed are not al
to be made public.
It Is known, however, that a large
proportion of the best troops of the
British regular army are on conti
nental coll.
It Is pointed out In authoritative
circles here that the withdrawal of
the Belgian government from Brus
sels to Antwerp may mean that the
fighting In Belgium Is drawing closer
to the capital or It may he merely a
precautionary measure
Policy of Secrecy,
Now that tbe three allied armies
are working together on a coherent
campaign scheme, tho policy of se
crecy has been extended to Belgium
and as a fountain of picturesque news
that country has suddenly dried up.
'I e silled srmies hHve decided for
the present to bar nil war correspon
dents from accompanying the armies
but it Is thought the ban may be
raised later when the military opera
tions are well under WHy.

The express com puny's representa

when It was landed. This, however,
the cnptnln would not undertake, not
relishing the task of having boatloads
of gold puss through the hurbor

prizes seised by the British.
Finally a cable dispatch was sent
tc New York and a reply being re

the time It left New York until It
reached the London banks, It was hur

PRISON COMMISSIONER
To Succeed E. L. Rainey, appointed by Governor Brown to fill un
expired term, for Four Yeare Me mber of the Legislature from
Johnson County and One of the Greatest Good Roads Enthuei»ete
in Georgia.
If elected I will give my entire time and whatever of energy and
talent I have to the services of the State. I will endeavor to see
that humane and competent men are appointed to all positions under
the control of the commission, th at no man be appointed or re
tained who does not measure up to the requirement* of the law,
regardless of his political pull. Nor will I consent to the dis
charge of those who are making g ood In handling men and building
roads, where such discharge Is sought for political purposes. Good
men should be kept in the service of the State as long as they
continue to make good; and while local conditions may necessitate
their transfer from one county to another, their discharge should
occur only for failure to comply with the requirements of- tk«*
law. ir« J
As I have said In public addresses in various parts of the state, '
as well ns In private canversatio n, THE GOOD ROADS MOVE
MENT HAS TO COME TO STA Y. In the five years of my ser
vice with the prison department of the State I have made a close
study of road building and have become Interested In this great
feature of our dvlHtation. The office of prison commissioner af
fords a large field for usefulness In this Important work, and I
have a worthy desire to serve m y State In that capacity.
Respectfully yours,
