PERSHING PUSHING
war PARATIONS
Work Characterized With Twentieth
Century Business Efficiency.

my NC"b
Paris. June s2--Like the head OF
great corporation. Gen. John J. PERISH
ing, the American commander, is
conducting his war plans on the lines
OF Twentieth Century business eff
ficiency. The busiest corner in Paris
today may be said to be the United
States army headquarters in the Rue
de Constantine.
Gen. Pershing is right in his element.
Naturally a hard worker, he is now
extending himself to get the greatest
amount OF labor accomplished within
the shortest time. ,..
Everything pertaining to the pre-
parations are being carried along on q
gigantic scale. II is evident from the
work under way that the United
States Is going into the war with all
her might. Preparations are under
way for the care OF huge armies. Miles
Of wooden huts are being constructed,
surveys are being made for railroads
and highways, mighty stores Of food
are being accumulated, sanitary pre-
cautions are being carried out upon
an almost unprecedented scale and
arrangements are under way for the
accumulation OF vast stores OF ann
munition.
The American camps in France
eventually will aggregate a city as
large as Chicago. The engineering
problems alone staggeF the ina gina
tion with their ma gnitude.

Is Urgent Need.

In the face Of the immediate war
needs of the country, there is no dis
position to appropriate at once the
many millions which the construction
Of such a road will require. The
sponsors of the project do not fear
that 1t will be required as a means of
defense against an immediate attack
upon the coasts. They do believe,
however. that there is a distinct mil
itary need. for the road and they in
tend to psess their legislation with all
possible speed.
1t has been pointed out to Senator
Chamberlain that the transporta ton
of troops along the Atlantic coast Is
dependent on two railroad trunk
lines, either one or both Of which
might be put out OF commission for
weeks and months by the destruction
of one OF the many great bridge struc-
tureS. The experience OF the army on
the border last year showed that
large bodies could be moved 100 miles
a day in motor trucks.
The project contemplates the Ax-
tensive use OF the great coastal road
in peace times as well as in war. The
Secretary Of War is authorized to
prepare a secondary plan TO connect
the military road with such subsidiary
highway systems as may best serve
the commercial. agricultural and
transportation needs of everyday life.
