Brains and Skill Of
France Keep Vast Army
In Food and Clothing

{ Correspondence Of Associated Press.
Paris, Jan. S.--What might be
called the civilian ADMINISTRATION
of the French army Il probably
the most gigantic business propo-
sition the world has ever seen. 1t
is as tho all the railroads OF the
United States. with tehir 1,66S,SO9
employees, all the steel and iron
industries with their 280.76c en-
ployes. and all the quarries and
coal mines and metal mines of the
United States. with their 1,66S,S09
workers, were all under the direc
ton of one office and beside these
more than million more employed
in other great corporations OF
America.
The French war office thru It's
civilian administration must as
semble. transport and distribute
food for nearly 100000 men. 1t
must supply the men with trans
portation from one part of the
fighting line to another from the
front to the interior, and from the
interior to the front 1t must pro-
vide clothing, medical attendance.
OenIlSlS ana every SdiieNS u SSA
vice necessary to keep the men in
health.
At the same time it must take
care OF the families OF the men at
the front.
The smooth working OF these
immense business transactions is
only possible because the work Is
distributed among the trained rail-
road men, steamship managers.
managers of great corporations and
others, who altho they are wearing
uniforms, have been trained and
prepared by civil life for this sort
of work in war time. Some thou
sands Of the most competent busi-
ness men of France have been or
ganized into this supply side OF the
war.
Many former political men,
members of the senate, ex-presi-
dents and men prominent in scien-
tif1c life have been called into this
work.

plot by French Alpine troops, who
charged on skis down the snow

The Germans held the railroad

A strong German detachment
with quick firers held the route.
but the winding nature of the road
prevented the Germans from firing
more than seventy yards along 1t.
The French advanced to within
this distance of the Germans. while
the Alpine troops took to the

soldiers against the background Of
snow made excellent marks for the
German sharpshooters Many were
shot. The survivors pushed for
