DISCRIMINATION Of Transports One Of
Most Serious BIunders Of War

Scenes Behind Lines During Big
Push Are Very Exciting.

When there are thousands Of men
and thousands Of vehicles of various
kinds to deal with behind the lines Of
a battle front there must be some very
effective organization. That is why be-
hind the British line In France every
thing Is thought out and arranged, SO
far as the traffic is concerned, as
though London, New York or Chicago
were being regulated, writes f. w.
Ward in the New York Tribune. The
roads will not take more than certain
amount of traffic, they do not all lead
to Rome, and so maps have to be care
fully scanned and studied and the best
routes up and back have to be laid
down.
When you get the chance to look at
map used by the Traffic Control peo-
pie In France you see number Of big
black arrows, some pointing In one d.
rectiOn, others In another. These are
to mark the up and down routes,
routes that have to be followed by
every one, excepting the lorries work.

French people themselves. For the
latter everything is done to study their
convenience; they are in their own
country, and they h0ve, Of course, the
first call.
Say, for instance, that troops are
moving up or back. They have to keep
to the route laid down, and they have
to be past certain points at certain
times. The time tnble is worked out
as carefully as though 1t were trains,
and not foot, horse and motor trans
port that have to be considered. II
this were not done, there would be
trouble all the way round. But II

and Insignificant matter. anyhow, this
control of the roads, and not thing

Road THAT Saved France" !
Well, it would open their eyes to
spend week--or an hour, for that
matter-immediately behind the lines
in France; especially in the neighbort
hood of big push. That would be o.
bit Of a revelation for any home-stay-
ing mortal. The fate Of whole armies,
If not Of nations, has depended to a.
large extent on efficient road control
Mt certain stages Of this war. No man
who has once seen the thing ut work
will ever forget 1t. The most famous
example, of course, is the road from
Bar lie Due to Verdun; the Vote Sa-
cree, Of which the poilu will tell you,
with u CLEAN In his eye, that 1t Is the
road "that saved France" There was
no railway there In the early days of
the Boche onslaught upon Verdun, aud
what the Vote Sacree had to carry in
the spring Of 1916 was an endless
chain Of heavy traffic, day and night,
with never break, such as no other
road probably has ever had to carry in
the time. And the fate of Verdun.
perhaps Of France, was in the balance.
All through northern France and
Belgium one finds highways the high.
cambered, narrow centers Of which are
fine and hard. But those centerways
are exceedingly narrow and, In places,
the understanding mud on either side
Of them becomes bottomless pit in
bad weather and under war conditions.
There are many such roads on which
one obstinate fellow in a wagon or a
motor lorry could easily disOrganize
the transport Of an army corps in half
an hour. Nay, he might be the means
of losing a thousand lives, or battle,
or both; and, very easily, he might
cause thousands of hard-worked fight
ing men to spend night without food.
All this, II the military police were in
competent, or the system Of road con-
troll were ignored, or slackly admins
tered. Then there Is the danger for
marching troops to be considered, espe-
cially at night. And think Of the pet
rOl! The way Of three or five ton
motor lOrry, with ratiOns or munitions,
IL blocked. There may easily be a
string Of several hundred similar lor-
ries Immediately affected in the same
way; and they are great drinkers Of

not be, and, with success which
rightly understood is quite wonderful,
our military road controllers see that
II does not occur.

Many quarrel would come to n
speedy ending If both sides were not
afraid of being the first to make ad-

take the first STEP you should be glad
of the chance. Some of you perhaps,
are little inclined to be envious of
the one who is born leader, who is

is no greater honor than to be the
