The Germans are doubling their

AMERICANS IN FRANCE
Building Entire Cities in Few
Months for Their Service
of Supply

American Port, Western France,
Correspondence of the Associated
Press.)-The colony of warehouses,
docks and shops forming the base
storage depot of the American armies
here is bewildering in it's magnitude.
Approaching the base is like COM
ing into some great industrial city
such as Manchester or Chicago. Off
to the right rise fifteen giant Chin
neys putting black smoke from a
group of factories. A mammoth re,
frigerating plant. said to be one of
the largest in the world, looms
against the sky. To the left is the
glare of furnaces and forges where
cannon and locomotives are being
made, assembled and mounted. All
about is the movement of vast and in
tricate railway traffic and the hum of
a colossal industry. This base of
American army supplies is the
growt of the last five months erected
out of almost nothing by the impell-
ing necessity of war. The colonel at
headquarters summed up some of the
essentials of what had been accom-
plished:
This army storage base represents
an investment of $30,000,00O, for
buildings and plant alone and not for
the vast stocks of army supplies.
1t covers an area four miles long
by mile wide-the area of city
with great docking system and deep
water piers.
1t is laid out for the storage of
million tons of army supplies, but the
capacity is elastic and may be in
creased to two million TONS A million
tons is the capacity of 1000 ocean
liners, or ton for every man of an
army of million men.
There are $50 miles of railway
tracks interlocking the vast network
of warehouses and yards.
Their are 100000 square feet of
covered storage, that is buildings
with floor space and roof, and 49,
100000 square feet of open storage,
in all 15,500,000 square feet of army
supplies, stored and stacked from ten
to fifty feet high like range of low
mountains.
The ocean pier under construction
will accommodate six to twelve ocean
steamers drawing 80 feet of water.
With the dock facilities of the nearby
city there will ba an unloading capac-
ity of $4,000 to 10000 tons of Amer
lean army supplies day. That is,
two Or three ships can be turned
around every day.
At one point pier 1900 feet long
and half mile wide is being built
for general merchandise and high ex-
plosives, and just back of it is rising
huge storage depot of ammunition
and high explosives.
In all there will be 184 warehouses,
of which "a are entirely of steel man.
ufactured in the United States and
sent here ready to be put together. It
has taken an average of four days to
put up one of these mammoth build
ings. These buildings grow as if by
magic. in a day, and by miles and
miles. Most of these buildings, about
180 of them, are 400 feet long and
90 feet wide. Practically all of the
work has been done in. the last Ave
months.
