On the British Front France, April

clothing and shoes that are commonly
supposed to strew the battlefields
where great armies are operating.

by visit to one of the bases Of the
British army. All these things, from
the big gun which has been shattered
by shell, to the smallest part OF
Tommy Atkins personal equipment
which has been broken or lost, are
gathered up and returned to one OF
the bases where they are repaired II
possible. II they cannot be mended
such parts as are intact are used In
renewing other implements or articles
OF the same kind, and in event that
they are hopelessly broken or torn
they are sold as junk.
A correspondent of the Associated
Press was permitted to visit one OF
these big repair depots. Depart
ments of every description were
busily engaged in the work Of restora-
ton. In one building was a pile OF
upwards OF half a million pairs Of
worn boots-a veritable mountain OF
muddy foot gear. These we're being
disinfected, cleaned, resoled and re
paired in other ways at the rate OF
seven thousand pairs a week by a
large force of experts. AS fast as
they were finished they were placed
in stock ready to go back TO the
trenches when there should be call
for more boots.
In other shops parts of broken har'
ness from the equipment OF the army
horses were being repaired, saddles
were being made over. rifles we're be-
ing made whole. big guns were in the
process of renewal, uniforms aid
equipments were being overhauled--
in fact, every conceivable sort OF
thing which finds use in the army was
being renovated. All unserviceable
bits OF metal were being stored Ia
sell to foundries and even the tattered
