The American railroad engineers an France are doing a year's work in four months. One of the ways . they sire going about it is by working day and night, says a London weekly. The handicaps and difficulties are fnnfY- yierable, They are 3,000 miles away from home, their supply base, to be- gin with: , Uncle Sant on the Job. They are • building everything connected with transportation and supply, from docks for 'ships to the smallest . kind of re- ceiving station on a siding close to the Front. Their railroad men have 'done everything --carpentry and quer ry work, warehouse building and eon-. erete mixing; they have broken stones on the roadway,'and they have put to- gether locomotives; they have handled ' structural steel cranes. 'They are laying lines in vital places, building terminals send railroad yards—some bigger than any In the'world in area, if not in rail—and the rails laidwill equal a four -track trunk- line -from the seacoast to the Front. They are con- centrating on yards and terminals, be cause the French railroads • are good, ' capable of bearing all the traffic, but the lack of facilities for handling a storing the tonnage the Americans re- , quire, is critical. The four'problems in transportation the United States must .meet are: (1) Truck shortage in .France. (2) Lack of terminal facilities in France. (3) Tonnage—ships, . (4) Truck shortage in America. • ' It is a .general, but none the less mistaken, yiew that ship tonnage is the greatest necessity for the support of the American Army to -day. But first there must be places to house the tonnage, .and trucks to move it and the terminals. Without these it would be useless •for America to send well-filled .ships to France in . great numbers. She could not handle the cargoes. Everything for Speed. To solve problem No. 1, the.Aineri- can engineers have taken over all broken 'and' unfit British, _French, and Belgian tracks, • and remade them: At the same time they began building a freight -car assembling and;• erecting plant, and here the trucks which come from the United States in parts, box- ed and oxed..and ready, will be ` constructed as fast as the, materials can be made in .the -'United States and shipped. Locomotives are being erected in . ` just the same manner. ••American' en- •• gineers at one shop are .putting to- `geth • er':and sending out on the .main line four or five locomotives •every'day and they ate the biggest and best lo- cotnotives in France. to=day.' • The tonnage crisis' is being met by -the preparation of. railroading 'facile ties, port •improvements, suehas-dockn .and. avhanes ,. gas-and-oi1 lent s-and• tanks,. refrigerators, and the; erection - of loading and- unloading Machinery, so as- to release the ship in the'fastest time and make the hours lost between trips, to the U.S.A.. a minimum.: Judicious Mixing.'

' LIVE STOCK LOSSES. Row the Warring'and.Neutral Coun- • ,tries of Europe Have Suffered. The comparative losses�of live stook by the, warring and neutral nations of Europe and 'the general effect on their meat supply may be judged'from fig- ures.announced by the United States Food Administration.- ' As regards meat, the Central Pow- rs were much better prepared for the war than the Allies. Although the llies possessed' a greater total num- el. of meat animals, the Central Pow - ors had forty-two per cent. more per apita.
