the railway construction for this base
the work to be done is equivalent to
q fair-sized railway line in this country
Orders have been placed with the
Baldwin Locomotive Company for $50
locomotives, of a type especially ce-
signed for this military road, and for
5000 fiat cars, also Of special design.
The locomotive is not so. powerful as
the type in use on larger American
roads. but it is considered extremely
powerful in view OF the work on which
it will be used.
The first Of these engines was COM
pleted in twenty working days. con-
stituting a record even in the highly
efficient annals of American metal
manufacturing. This was done despite
the fact that the design was entirely
new and contained very complicated
super heating machinery.
The engine weighs 166,400 pounds
without the tender, and has eight
drivers. The tender has tank capac-
city $500 gallons and fuel capac-
ity of nine tons. The entire outfit is
painted battleship gray and bears the
insignia ~. s. Army" The fiat cars
are fitted with tarpaulin covers, so that
the contents may be protected from
inclement weather. The essential
measurements and equipment are the
same as on the French lines. making
complete interchangeability possible.
At the main base, which is to be
built around the port, set aside by the
French government for the exclusive
use of the United States forces, there
is to be constructed complete rail-
way repair shop and roundhouse.
The line will be under the superv1-
sion of the war department, operation
being entrusted to special eagineer
regiments to be known as railway
operation regiments" On the recon-
mendation OF General Pershing five
of these units will be formed.
Barracks, officers quarters. store
houses, and other buildings also are to
be constructed at the main base, and
there will be extensive repair shops
for artillery and other ordnance equip
ment and for airplanes.
{ One of the most interesting features
will be reclamation depot for the re-
pair Of the multitudinous articles col
lected from the battlefield by special
salvage units. Great Britain and
France have both developed this work
almost to the point of d science, man
ufacturing belt and bayonet scabbards
from worn leggings, shoe laces from
partially destroyed "uppers," bandages
from the cotton recovered from dis
carded blouses, and many other use
full articles.

Master Edwin Dooley, the nine year
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. c. M. Dooley
of Market street, was very badly in
jured yesterday afternoon about 6
o'clock when he was struck by an

Master Robert Ireland of the West
End had been visiting the boy and
young Dooley went to the car with
him. According to his story after put
ting the boy on the car he started back
toward. the sidewalk when he was
struck by the automobile and knock
ed down, one of the front wheels OF
the machine passing over him.
The boy was picked up and taken
to his home on Market street where
the extent of his injuries was learned
The right leg suffered compound
fracture, one bone below the knee be-
ing broken twice, the other once
There was no other bruises or cuts
on the boy, which is considered very
remarkable.
The auto which was driven by Miss
Esther Hoefich, daughter of Mr.. ant
Mrs. r. X. Hoefich of East Second
street was being driven very slowl,
according to several persons who saw
the accident. Immediately upon hit
ting the boy she stopped the car. Hat
the rear wheels passed over the bo,
he would probably have suffered NOR,
serious injuries. .--
| The boy was very calm after the &C
cident and told his story quite read
lily. He will be housed for severa
weeks. The boy is a very bright on,
and we were extremely sorry whel
we heard of his accident He is re
ported as having spent very restfu
night.
