Behind the American Front IN
Erance.-Less spectacular than the
continued arrival Of American troops
and their occupation Of a definite front
sector. yet In its way quite as impor'
tant for their success. has been the
steady development Of the system OF
keeping them Ia the myriad supplies
they must have.
Keeping pace with the increasing
training camps there has grown up q
storage, transportation and distribu-
ton system that not only accurately
and efficiently supplies the needs OF
all our soldiers but is continually be-
ing enlarged against future needs.
Neither troops nor supplies can come
too fast for 1t.
The various functions Of the system
bakery. refrigeratlng plant, ware
houses for clothing, non-perishable
foods and similar supplies, and the
main distributing plant-are located
for convenience sake in three towns
or cities situated respectively at the
three corners of an obtuse triangle,
and near enough to the training camps
and front sc that supplies can reach
the furthest points In n hours.
Bakery Is Great Industry.
No link in the chain between IA port
In France aud the American front is,
perhaps, more interesting than the bak-
cries.
The supplying Of the American
troops in France with white bread has
become d great industry and is growing
all the time. The few bakers origi-
nally here have grown into companies +;
the relatively small daily quantity Of
bread turned out in July has increased
to scores of thousands of pounds, and
entire shiploads OF flour are arriving
weekly and are being stored away in
warehouses with capacity Of millions
of pounds as IL reserve against the
arrival of still more troops.
The American army first took pos.
session of a huge bakery in IL central
French city, formerly operated by a

though 1t was then many times larger
than their needs. Its capacity is close
to two million pounds. and while II
has ut times been nearly full. the sup
ply is never permitted to fall below
half a million pounds. There are more
than 100000 pounds there now.
Direct railroad lines lead not only
from the bakery and the refrigerating
plant TO the camps but also from the
seaports and the city.
Several miles westward, at the low
or apex of the triangle, lies another
French town which has been all but
bodily taken over by the Americans
as a storage center. Here non-perlsh'
able fo0ds-canned goods, salt. sugar
and vegetables other than those bought
fresh from the French peasants-are
stored.
One of the largest buildings when
the Americans have taken over is de
voted to equipment. Here are stored
many thousands of uniforms and ev'

caps to buttons and handkerchiefs.
The needs Of the troops Is estimated
at several pairs Of shoes a year and
three or four uniforms.

1t was at Cambria that he went
through the bullet-swept areas to de-

Ger In command of his battalion felt 1t
imperative to send word to the gener-

There was no other way to communi-
cate. Lieutenant Singh offered his
services. He mounted Il horse and

The message required a reply and he
volunteered to deliver 1t. He sailed
forth on another horse and with his
body glued to that animal he plunged
ahead with the machine gun fire again
playing on him. A second time his
horse was killed. He finished this
journey also on foot running as swift
ly aa his trained legs could carry him.
