AUTOMATIC TRAIN
One of the Wonders of
American Organization

American Regulating Base, Ad-
vance Zone, September 30.-(Corre-
spondence of The Associated Press.)
The automatic train" is one of the
strange devices which has sprung out
of the war, and there is nothing quite
like it in the whole range of railway
transportation. 1t has been developed
by the American military authorities
here as one of the necessities of keep
ing up an automatic daily supply of
food, forage and all requirements, to
every unit of the American expedi-
tionary force in France. To do this
with unvarying regularity each day,
so that every man in every division
stretching over vast area along 300
miles of front, would have his daily
needs supplied, was a huge problem
The only solution was to secure ab-
solute uniformity, or a standardiza-
ton of trains by which the makeup
would be automatic day after day.
And out of this has come the "auto-
matte train" of the American army,
which is one of the wonders of Ameri,
can organization.
Watching the makeup of the "auto-
matte trains" as they go forward to
the American divisions on the fight
ing front, is like watching some gil
1gantic jig-saw puzzle, for there is the
same fitting together of confused
parts, until at last all the pieces form
a completed whole of fifteen of these
so-called automatic trains" so cars
to train, each train moving off to
one of the American divisions.
Here at a small interior village Of
the American advance force is the
center from which the automatic
trains move out daily. The place is
well forward in the advance zone, just
far enough away from the fighting

USE EYES IN DAY TIME
AND EARS AT NIGHT

With the American Forces in
France, Oct. 31.-An army has many
eyes, and they never close. At night
the eyes are not so useful as during
the day, of course, but when darkness
comes the army uses its ears-'isten-
ing posts here and there beyond th>
front line. Soldiers crawl, sometimes
even within the enemy's lines, and
crawl back again before daylight and
report what they have heard.
During the day aviators are report
ing from time to time after flights,
detailing what they have seen beyond
the front. From hills, tree tops, high
buildings, village church steeples and
various heights, including captive bal
looms, movements of the enemy are
observed by strong glasses ten to fif-
teen miles back of the lines. Every
movement of troops or equipment seen
by an observer is reported. From
these reports the commanders, taking
into consideration the various other
accounts from numerous sources,
make their plans for the future and
act as guides for the officers in MAX
ing infantry and artillery attacks.

to be out of reach of hostile raids and
yet near enough to permit the sup
plies to move forward with the great
est facility.
1t was sleepy village last October,
with 1000 inhabitants; today it is a
center of intense activity, with an
American working force of $4,000
eleven times the population a year
ago-with 72 miles of trackage, 45
enormous warehouses, and railways
radiating to every point of the long
front held wholly or in part by Am
erican troops.
Last month $4,000 cars were moved
or over 1000 a day in this stupendous
stream of supplies going forward to
the fighting forces.
Colonel Hilgard, commanding Off
Ger, and Captain Bigger, regulating
officer explained the details of these
automatic trains, and later there was
an opportunity to see the trains as
sembled like parts in huge puzzle
and started on their way to the front.
The basis on which the automatic
trains are made up is as follows:
cars of refrigerated fresh beef.
2 cars of fresh bread.
cars of food comprised in the SOL
dier's ration.
cars of fuel for cooking.
ID cars of forage or horses.
1 car of gasoline, mineral oil and
lubricants for motors.
1 car for mail and packages.
These are fixer and practically in
variable elements of each automatic
train, the same wants of food and for
age being repeated day after day.
In addition each division has vary
ing watts of clothing, ammunition,
medical supplies, etc, as it may be in
the midst of the fighting or further
back in calmer section. These vary
ing elements are added to each train,
according to the needs of the division.
Thus, Is trains go out daily in Is
directions, each train having some 80
to 35 cars in the fixed and automatic
makeup, and some Is or twenty cars
with the varying elements of ammu-
milton, medical supplies, clothing, ETC.,
dependent on the proximity to the
fighting.

Russia Facing a
Winter Of Hunger
and Severe Cold

London, Sept. 26.-( Correspondence
of The Associated Press. Russia is
facing winter of hunger and cold
augmented this year because of the
extreme scarcity of fuel which pre-
walls in all parts of that country. Tho.
lack of coal has been keenly felt ever
since the loss of the Donetz basin to
the Germans early last spring. It af
fected the railroads and caused facto-
ries to be shut down.
The Czecho-Slovak operations in Si-
IBERIA and in the Ural region have pre-
vented any relief from that direction.
The stores of wood in Moscow and
Petrograd, owing to the lack of trans
portation facilities and other difficult
ties too numerous to mention, are far
from sufficient to meet the demands Of
a long winter. A Moscow paper esti-
mated months ago that the supplies
of wood in that city would hardly suf-
flee to satisfy the needs of public util-
tiles this winter, and that in conse-
quence all private enterprises and
homes could not hope to get even a
limited quantity of it.
To one who has experienced the dis
comforts of cold Russian winter,
even under better conditions, the stu
alton is far from alluring. The chilly
atmosphere of an unheated apart
ment, darkness in the streets and
homes, the quiet cf city undisturbed
by the rumble of street cars and mo-
tor vehicles, and lastly, the uncom-
Portable feeling of an empty stomach
such are the prospects of the COM
ing winter in Russia.

TOO MUCH GLASS.

There is too much glass on the
streets of Columbia" says the Re-
cord. There is too much glass on all
the highways, everywhere. If The
News is properly informed. the re-
cent legislature passed bill provid-
ing a penalty for those throwing
glass or other substances that might
injure automobile tires in the public
roads. but we fear for the strict en-
forcement of the law, or, rather, the
possibility of conviction is so remote
that unusual diligence will be nee
essary to prevent the law becoming
"a dead letter. Some of il is put
there" the Record continues. with
malevolent intent and some of il is
done through carelessness." The
charitable view would be that most.
al not all of it was done through
carelessness, or lapse of memory as
to the damage that may result, but
there is such thing as criminal
negligence, and sometimes the sins
of omission are equally as great as
those OF commission
The News could not attempt to es-
innate the amount of money invested
in automobile tires in the State
There is. we Judge, on a basis of the
automobile licenses issued by the
State highway commission, some
where in the neighborhood of two
hunderd thousand tires actually in
use. At an average of twenty dol
lars a tire, the amount would run
close to four million dollars. A tire
can be practically ruined by running
into a broken bottle. Therefore.
glass in the roads menaces an in
vestment of close to four million dol
lars.
The News is inclined to believe
that there is little malicious intent
in throwing glass in the roads, but
carelessness in such proportion
should be dealt with. providing it is
possible to detect the guilty party.
