from the bank to his home, and in
coming around the big drift north of
the drug store he crossed the street

lunch room before he realized where
he was.
Ye editor started for the bank to

cloud gave him a view of the bank
he was going north toward the school
house.

and experience the nation can provide in that line will go into the new regiments. each of which would be able to undertake all or any part of the work of building or operating a whole railway system.
 Commanders for the new regiments probably will be announced tomorrow. Work of recruiting the regiments will start immediately and as each recruiting center is city where there is an army post, it is assumed the regiments will be assembled in army barracks and their organization perfected.
 While the regular engineer troops of the army are among the best drilled in the service, it Is improbable that the new regiments will be subjected to any eX- tended military training. They will be given military organization only for the sake of greater mobility and efficiency. They will carry the usual arms and equipment of engineer troops, rifles and bayonets; but their real fighting will be done with the complicated appliances and engines of railway operation or con Struction.
 TREMENDOUS POWER
 Supplemented by labor and skill avail able in France the nine regiments rep resent a tremendous power of construc- ton that would enable the allies to re- make their lines Of communication in the SuOTteSL pOSSlDle ll1ne dHu uI lHcIii lOl the increasingly heavy task of supplying millions of fighting men as the battle lines push forward.
 AS the German forces have been beaten back every vestige of the railway lines that have supplied their forces has been destroyed. With every mile gained both French and British have faced the task of building new railroads as the distrib- uting centers for the trenches were moved fo,,yx rd JNao hal me added strain on the roads leading back to the great supply bases and the added task for the communication line forces of preventing congestion.
 CHANNEL FERRY
 In the interests of speedy delivery it is understood that shell laden freight cars have been ferreted across the channel from England and sent forward oser French railroads to be unloaded at the great munition centers near the front. All the delay of transshipment has been saved, but it has meant added traffic problems for the French communication lines.
 It is to aid in such gigantic operations as these to apply American operating skill to the task and American railway efficiency generally to the transportation problems that the new regiments are to be formed and hurried to France.
 The administrators action means thas American troops carrying the American flag and in the uniform of the American army are soon to be on French soil. If there is psychological value in such movement as both French and British commissions have urged. |, will show it. self with the arrival in France of the first engineer regiment.
 It will not be necessary to equip the engineers with the tools of their craft. France and Britain can supply whatever is needed probably supplemented by ad- ditonal supplies. Because of this. there will be no need for delay in sending the engineer troops forward. They will need little but their uniforms. arms and per- sonal equipment before they can be sent to the front.
