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.

This, however, the cnptnln would not undertake, not relishing the task of having boatloads of gold puss through the hurbor crowded with Shipping and German prizes seised by the British. Finally a cable dispatch was sent tc New York and a reply being re ceived that the gold was Insured from the time It left New York until It reached the London banks, It was hur riedly landed.
