and he works out on paper the ar
 engagements for the required transport
 of troops to the given point These
 arrangements will involve the run
 ming of, say, a thousand trains from
 half a dozen different points, where
 the troops will be taken aboard the trains.
 The arrangements made by the rail road chief are first of all printed This is done in few minutes, and copies of the officers instructions are sent to all the traffic officers, who are charged with the work of carrying them out. Such movement of troops IS generally begun at daybreak. Each train contains 500 men, and from diff ferent points many miles apart, troop trains are run one after the other with an interval of about two minutes between each, to the particular point where the concentration of troops is required.
 i One difficulty that often arises in carrying out such movement is that some of the trains may have to be worked over single track This means that if a delay occurs to one train, all the others behind are, of course, held up. Along the single track are repair shops about half a mile apart, and at every hundred yards is small party of engineers, who work the train through flag system.
 On arriving at the concentration point, the trains are emptied with the greatest possible speed. At many sta tions in France since the outbreak of the war half a dozen extra platforms or more have been put up, and the nec- essary extra tracks laid. Some of these platfoms are mile long, so that two or more long troop trains can be run, one after the other, alongside them. If there are six platforms, eigh- charged of troops.
 A minute is given for train to be and thus, every minute, eigh- teen trains, each containing 500 troops, can be emptied which means that trains containing 10000 troops can be cleared in a little over two minutes.
 Not long since over 15O,OOO troops were gathered together at a certain place in less than five hours from the moment when the chief railroad off, ficer received his instructions to pro- vide facilities for this concentration. l The troops had to be conveyed from twelve different points all at least if 1 teen miles from the point of concentra- ton. A hundred years ago such con- centration would have taken not five hours, but something nearer five days
