u. s. SUPPLY DEPOT
COVERS WIDE AREA
American Labor Is Building Up
an Immense Establishment
in France.
BY JUNIUs b. WOOD.

Cablcgram to The Evening Star and
Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1917.
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE. December 24.-Nothing gives
a more vivid idea of the future immen-
sity of the American expedition to
France and the energy with which the
plans are being carried out than visit
to the inland spot where the supply
depot is located. In three months it
has been transformed by American
hands from an Insignificant railroad
station surrounded by plains and woods
into a maze of tracks, warehouses and
shops which eventually will equal those
of the largest cities at home. The ma
chinery is on the ground for the largest
refrigerating cold storage plant in the
world. This. though gigantic in itself.
is merely one feature of the work un-
dertaken. Ninety miles of switch
tracks are called for, and good pro-
portion of the mileage already has been
laid. The warehouse exceeds in ca
pacity the new Pennsylvania freight
terminal in Chicago, which is the most
modern in America.
This indicates that America is figur-
ing on long stay for its expedition in
France before the world war is ended.
Such industrial machinery does not
spring up and get into smooth working
order over night. 1t needs time and
thousands of workers, and the effort is
only justified by far-sighted planning
for the future. What is more, this is
only part of the network of similar
depots stretching across France be-
tween the fighting lines and the ports
our ships enter. This depot has a ca
pacity enabling it to care for half a
million soldiers, and, according to
President Wilson's promise. the num-
Der eventually will be much larger than
that.
Evening star., 1917-12-26
single-Story Structures.

The ground is not as valuable as it is
in American cities and the warehouses
are single-storied with plenty of space
between the ends. Speed in handling
the supplies is limited only by the sup
ply of labor.
Supplies for the various branches of
the service, machinery, and medical and
duartermaster stores. are handled at
this depot. Each requires its own corps,
but the construction work Is done by a
railroad regiment from Pittsburgh and
a forestry regiment, assisted by severa
companies drawn from various regular
regiments, including two National
Army companies of engineers. One Of
the plants is already in operation in a
building in a far corner of the reser-
walton making gas. Some of the men
are busy repairing machinery. building
roads. driving wells and doing other
things necessary to the growth of such
a vast establishment.
Evening star., 1917-12-26
All Brought From United States.

Just as fast as the warehouses are
completed they are filled with supplies,
and as fast as the roofs are up ma
chinery is installed in the shops. When
it is considered that it is necessary to
bring the rails and nearly every board
and nail from the United States, let
alone thousands of tons of machinery,
one begins to realize what the trans
port service already has accomplished.
In many instances the builders do not
wait for supplies. Some of the ware
houses are made of trunks of trees
from which the branches have been cut
by the axes of the American forestry
regiment. The stanchions and beams
make a picturesque interior. The roofs
are made of a variety of corrugated
tin, tile and boards covered with tarred
paper. The refrigerating plants and
storage houses for inflammabIe sup
plies and ammunition are built of hol-
low fireproof bricks brought from the
United States.
The site is six miles long and two
miles wide. 1t is expected that in the
end all of this area will be utilized,
and it is possible to expand the present
proposed capacity several times ac-
cording to future needs. The gridiron
of tracks shown on the blue prints is
designed for such future enlargement.

to protect the public by preventing
mis-statements on the labels of prepa-

The difference is very great. An
"emulsion" contains real cod Iuer oil,
