Southampton. Sept 22-The dispatch
OF troops from Southampton continues
but the. movements are now kept less
secret than during the passage of the
first expeditionary forces. The record
then made provided an excellent test
OF the facilities here for handling such
a great movement Of troops
Although the expeditionary force was
dispatched from several points
Southampton handled the bulk of the
100000 to 100000 men who were sent
to the continent during two weeks time,
The docks at this place afford more
than one and a half miles of water front
with railway lines so close to the ships
docks that it is bu; moments work
to transfer trainloads of men, horses.
and equipment from the railway TO the
steamships. The precision with which
the transfer was made was so marked
that an entire train was frequently un-
loaded in three minutes. and it was
not uncommon for twenty trains to en-
ter the docks and complete their task
of unloading within single hour.
The plan had been worked out by the
war office two years before. The small
cars used for transporting horses. ac-
commodating only seven or eight ami
mails proved great factor in the
speedy transfers. Each horse had a
separate compartment and the sides OF
the cars dropped down in such man
ner that the animals stepped out with
out the slightest confusion. Some
Americans who witnessed this move
ment remarked that the cars We're far
more practical for this sort of work
than the large freight cars used in
America, into which number OF
horses were crowded.
Scores of hospital cars still line the
dock tracks here ready for the re-
ception of sick and injured returning
from the continent. Red Cross signs
are displayed and surgeons and nurses
are in the cars with everything ready
for the wounded. The hospital trains
are made UP of converted passenger
coaches and sleeping cars. All have
the small compartments common tc
! English railway coaches with doors
opening at the sides Litters are pro-
vided which will enter these small
side doors and consequently it is much
easier to place the seriously injured ir
berths than it would be II 1t were
necessary to carry them thru the enc
doors common to American sleeping
cars and along narrow aisles or hall
ways.
y Baggage cars have also been con-
yerted into hospital cars where patients
can be placed who need attention of a
| sort which can be rendered more salts
factorily in roomy car than in small
compartment.
