WAR MAKES FRENCH
HIGHWAYS WIDER
German Prisoners Grind Up
Stone Left in Towns
Destroyed.
BEHIND THE BRITISH LINES IN

BEHIND THE BRITISH LINES IN
FRANCE, June 27-(Correpsond-
ence) -Hupdreds of miles of the
smooth white macadam roads of
Northern France will remain for
many years after the war as real
memorial to the devastated towns
which the Germans left in ruins after
their retreat this spring.
All oVre Northern France the roads
are being widened and resurfaced
with stone and rubble taken from the
wrecked houses of Peronne, Albert,
Arras, and countless other ruined
towns and villages. AS fast as the
British soldiers clear away the debris
of the towns, it is piled into lorries
and distributed in heaps along the
main roads. There German prison
ers toll the day long pounding 1t into
level patches which the great steam
rollers, many Of them bearing famil-
lar American names, grind quickly
into smooth macadam for the bust
ness of transport.
The brick and stone Of these old
buildings makes as good road mater
ial as could be obtained anywhere,
and the work of the German dyna-
inter has been SO thorough that much
of it is crushed fine enough to need
no further preparation.
The roads of Northern France were
always excellent, but they were never
better than today. The only COM
plant travellers had against them in
the old days was that the paved strip
in the center was too narrow, That
complaint cannot be made after the
British highway plans have been COM
pleted, for all the main highways will
be macadamed to width permitting
three broad-guage lorries to run
abreast, and even the byways will
have paved surface wide enough to
allow traffic to pass easily at any
point.
Excessive business is the only
fault of the roads today, for war
economies will not permit the use of
precious oil on roadways.
There is little need anywhere in
this district for Strengthening roads
or altering routes because the roads
Of Northern France mostly run
straight as an arrows flight. Most Of
the great highways were laid out In
Napoleon's time by military survey
OTIS, and their strategic value and i'm
portance has always been kept prima-
rily in mind by the French govern
ment.
