The roads over which the Amer

the greater part of the day. This
made the walking bad, but not nearly
so difficult as it was in the recent
past, when mud and mirc had to be
negotiated. The troops have moved
out of a shcll-torn area where the
roads have been hastily and tempo
arly repaired. 1t is a relief to the
men, because behind the German
lines the roads are i'll excellent con.
dition.
Villages and towns along the
route looked peaceful, except for
some here and there which had been
SCARED by explosions OF aer'l!
bombs. These were the only physical
traces OF warfare. \ deep silence
broods over this area, for the people
were nearly all moved out by the
Germans. In some cases, less than
fifty persons remain in village.
The people generally were quite
timid when the Americans made
their appearance They remained N
their houses until assured that The
Americans were not another form OF
enemy. The Germans had told them
that this would be the case. Once
assured that the Americans were
friends. the welcome given by the
village was some times hysterical III

TRANSPORTING Our Troona.

Transporting Our Troops.
The world has been astonished at
the great number of American soldiers
transported to Europe in the last half
pear. The number now approximates
100000 and the loss of life in trans
porting them has been almost infin-
itesimal
The success with which we have
moved our troops from the scattered
camps in this country and across 5000
miles of ocean to the battle front Is
great evidence of American efficiency.
We have not only surprised our enc
mics; we have surprised our friends
and ourselves.
The British controller of shipping,
Sir Joseph Maclay, speaks of this
movement across the sea as "A trans
port miracle" We have been inclined
to attribute this achievement solely to
our Navy and our shipping, but the
British controller speaks in high praise
of the share the American railroads
had in the work. He says:
IF the American railroads had not
been operated with success the whole
transport movement might have failed,
because it was essential to quick trans
portation that the troops should be
ready for the ships"
Director General McAdoo seems JUS
tilted in his statement that while the
development of the policy of the Rail
road Administration requires time
progress has been made toward the
goal.
