REMARKABLE WORK.
An American Camp in France. Nov.
"a, i917.-If Lloyd George knew what
the writer knows he might have post
poned his question at the Downing
street conference as to when the first
million OF American men would be in
France.
Here, in one of the American engi-
neers camps, never previously referred
to in the Herald, / am struck with
amazement at the work of our glorious
engineers. The adjective is deserved.
Out OF a barren. rather forbidding
looking stretch of country. an area of
about four square miles has been taken
over for the work. Excavating through
red clay down to bed Of rock. found
about eight inches from the surface,
through all weathers and every day
since October, a transformation has
been worked which would pale Alad-
din's wonderful lamp into Swedish
match flame.
CAMP A MARVEL.
Camp Williams is a marvel already
Of American genius and American en-
ergy. One OF the regiments is COM
posed largely Of American college boys

People at home know practically
nothing about them, but they will know
now, II my account is graciously passed
by the censor. Already this regiment
has laid about six miles Of railway and
when all the rails are put down the
total length will be five times that fig
ure. The yard itself is what is called a
12-track yard. All the men are under
canvas and seem to be comfortable,
