FRENCH AMAZEDAT THE SPEED OF
AMERICANS RECONSTRUCTION WORK
TO-DAY A FOREST TOMORROW a BUILDING, TIL
DAY A WORKSHOP.
AMERICANS IN FRANCE NO. 12.)
fBy The Associated Presg.l

(AMEIRiCANS IN FRANCE NO. ~
GIEVRES, CENTRAL FRANCE,
Sept. 18-Today a forest, tomorrow
a building, the next day workshop.
This is the way the astonished
French people describe how the
Americans have suddenly construct
ed a huge establishment here, turn
ing what was a pine forest into ware
houses and then turning these into
vast and busy centers for the huge
mass of army supplies on the way to
the front
GieVres is a sort of halfway point,
midway between the coast and the
firing line, and is the central supply
depot of the intermediate zone. Here
things are sorted and arranged as
they come pell-mell from the ocean
ports, in vast miscellaneous masses
just out Of the holds of steamers,
hood, guns, clothing, barbed wire,
medicine, carrier pigeons, refrigerated
beef, rolling kitchens, and all the
eonglomeration of supplies needed by
a million men. Everything must be
in order before it goes forward to the
advance zone where the fighting is
going on, and this is where the order
is brought out of the seeming chaos
in this tidal wave of army goods
sweeping in from America.
The Gieyres depot has been laid in
a elongated diamond-shape, and COM
cared to a baseball diamond, it is
seven miles from the home plate to
second base, and two miles across
from first to third base Within this
enormous diamond are eighty huge
Warehouses and scores of other build
ings, some O. them of unprecedented
magnitude. One of these is a re-
frigerating plant riyaling those in the
Chicago meat district. When we
west into it today it had over 10000
geo pounds of frozen beef-enough to
feed 100000 men twenty days
This is only one detail Of the vast
depot of the intermediate zone with
its miles of buildings and yards stack
ed with soldiers food, soldiers cloth.
ing, ammunition and ordnance sores
of all kinds, medical supplies, sol
! diers' libraries furnished by the
American Library Association, and all
the Y M. c. A. supplies sent to its
countless branches, for everything for
the army is centered here before it
goes forward to the men.
The yards are ON the same vast
sea as the warehouses, with stocks
OF coal half a mile long and eighty
feet high-a comforting assurance for
the warmth of the troops next win
ter-and miles of baled hay for artil-
| lery horses. Stoves and wheelbar-
rows were piled up like mountain
! haystacks. The well4borisg machip-
cry fll1ng one park made it look like
pennsylvania oil region. Another
park had camouflage material Am.
other had stacks of building paper for
sheathing barracks.
Pontoons and bridges and all the
material for crossing rivers will come
along In due time, for it was pointed
out that this will be needed to- "cross
the Rhine
Along one side of the depot 500
cars were bringing to this huge stock
Oh war material just as it came from
the ships, and ON the other side 500
cars were taking it away to the adj
vance zone after it has passed through
the process of arrangement-each
