j, s, AUTOMATIC TRAIN
FEEDS 800 MILE FRONT
Never Miss Landing Food on
Schedule Time to Americans
on Battle Line.

American Regulating Base, Advance
Zone, France, Oct. l0,-Fhc auto
matte train" Is one of the strange devices
which has sprung out of the war, and there
is nothing quite like it In the whole range
of railway transportation. II has been
developed by the American military
authorities here as one of the necessities
of keeping up an automatic daily supply
of food. forage and all requirements, to
every unit of the American Expeditlonary
Force In France To do this with un-
varying regularity each day, so that every
man in every division stretching over n
vast area along 300 miles of front, would
have his daily needs supplied was huge
problem.
The only solution was TO secure absolute
uniformity, or Standardization of trains
by (which the makeup would be automatic
day after day. And out of this has come
the automatic train" of the American
army, which is one of the wonders of
American organization.
Watching the makeup of the 'auto-
matte trains as they go forward to the
American divisions on the fighting front
is like watching some gigantic lIg-saw
puzzle for there is the same fitting to-
gether of confrs ID partsI until ~ last
all the pieces form completed whole

trains 50 cars TO a train. each train
moving off TO ono of the American divi-
sionS.
Here at a small interior village of the
American Advance Force is the center
from which the automatic trains move out
daily The place is well forward in the
advance zone, Just far enough away from
the fighting to be out of reach of hostile

supplies to move forward with the greatest
facility.
1t was sleepy village last October
with 1000 inhabitants, today it Is a
center Of intense activity, with an Ameri-
can working force Of $4,000 eleven times

houses, and railways radiating to every

Colonel Hilgard. commanding officer
and Captain Bigger, regulating officer
explained the details Of these automatic
trains, and later there was an opportunity
to see the trains assembled like parts IN
huge puzzle and started on their way to
tho front Tho basis on which the
automatic trains are made up is as follows
Two cars Of refrigerated fresh beef
Two cars of fresh bread
Seven cars Of food comprised in the
soldier ration.
Four cars of fuel for cooking
Fourteen cars of forage for horses
One car Of gasoline, mineral oil and
lubricants for motors
One car for mail and packages
These are the fixed and practically
Iavariable elements Of each automatic

FORD OPPOSES OVERTIME.
Eight Hours Work q Day is Rest, Says
Senate Candidate.

Washington. Oct. 3l.-The straight
cight-hour day for labor is better in
dustria policy than the basic eIght-hour
day, according TO Henry Ford in making
n decision as umpire for the national
war labor board in the case of the Inter
national Association of Macbinsts versus
the Wheeling Mold and Foundry Com
pany, Mr. Ford, while awarding the basic
eight-hour day as requested by the
machinists, declared eight hours work
enough.
In his award Mr.. Ford SAYS:
'My experience, and also my reason,
teaches me that very few emergencies
ever exist in manufacturing business
justfyng the practice Of exceeding eight
working hours a day. The strain of
eight hours is enough. and the hours
should never be increased except under
