A Vast Work is Being Accomplished
by American Engineers hi
France.
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

line four or five locomotives •every'day
and they ate the biggest and best lo-
cotnotives in France. to=day.'

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. This advantage amounted to
thirty-three animals of all classes per
ne hundred' population.. .
Due apparently to acquisition '.of
nimals•by conquest, Germany has not
laughtered her home supply of. live
tock as rapidly as otherwise would
ave beennecessary. There is now a
ractical exhaustion.. of :.animals- in
elgium, Serbia aiid'Rumania as •a re

tion from very reliable sources: In

ore than a third as many. The fig -
es include u

QUEEN WIELDED A .HAMMER.
To Satisfy Herself. Munition 'Work
Wasn't Too Hard for Girl.
How thoroughly the royal family
at one with the people in the prese
situation has, been shown both by
t
King's informal visit to °the bat
front and by the Prince of Wales' r
turn to duty before the expiration
his leave. Since his return. his M
Testy and the Queen have been bus
visiting munition factories and i
equi
works.
At a factory at Walthamstow th
Queen, as ever, was chiefly interest
ed in the girl `and women worker
among whom she mingled with he
usual cheery smile, chatting mdst
the time --when not passing a f
words with the girls -with Mr
Phipps, the organizer.
The Queen, impressed by the' ap
pearance of .the girls, remarked t
Mrs, Phipps they seemed to Jae gir a very erior. type, when one
the conducthn` party remarked, "Yes
your Majesty, we are some stunt o
these girls."
The Queen looked puzzled, not u
derstanding. the slang, but quietl
laughed. with. pleasure when it w,
explained that 'what the official mea
was• that their experience in the ern -
pion -mat of female labor had been al-
together satisfactory.
'Queen . Alexandra has been busy,
too; • visiting factories with Princess
Victoria, throwing out a useful word
or two of advice as it occurred to
her..practical mind. In one shop . she
saw a girl wielding a han neer and
punching• identification.miarks • on a
shell.
She thought this must' be very
heavy work for a girl, but to • the
Queen's inquiry the girl smilingly
replied it 'was quite simple now she
had grown accustomed to, it. Accept-
ing an 'invitation to try for . herself;
Queen Alexandra held the punch ' do
position with one hand, and with the
other hit a series , of hard blows; but
on examination of the marking feared
that they came far- short of the
standard. •• ' .
