LONDON, April 2o-Such German air
men as managed to get over tho BTU
ish lines during the recent retfrements
can tell Berlin something OF the BRUSH
organization for give and take In
France and Flanders. In spite OF tho
INDISPENSABLE congestion in the roaos
behind the retiring British lines. Tom
nv Atkins found a way Of helping OLD
peasant women drive their cows
through the tangle to safety.
Oh, you Tommy Atkins! VINO can
ever tell even passable story OF your
resource and difficulty, your doeseo-
ness. cheer iulness. heroism ana hu!nan
ity? All the real trouble or retreat
arises not on the firing limo. but IN the
rear. For every rifeman and gunner
thrown out against the enemy there
are three or four men behind to see
that the fellow in front has what ne
needs in his grim business. When TINS
fellow is assailed by great odds and be-
gins to fall back the three or four men
supporting him must also fall back
How an Army Withdraws.
Can YOU imagine the vast supports on
q wide fighting front retiring? Horss
transport, motor lorries, guns. dispatch
riders. refugees and live stock move III
dense orderly streams.
Nor do they have the whole road. NOT
all the army is retreating. Reinforce
ments are moving up in unoroken col
umns, winding like serpents across the
landscape. These men are hurrylng
Forward to stiffen the retiring line. and
they claim their side of the road. With
them move transports of food ana mu-
nitions Both streams of traffic are
raked by big enemy guns No matter
how thickly the shells fall order must
be kept. There must be the least pos
sible delay in the movement OF either
stream Of vehicles and men.
Upon the Railroads and road intersec-
lions the enemy masses his long-range
fire. It must be endured. for the roads
cannot be abandoned. AS soon as the
transports accompanying the advanc-
ing troops have discharged their mu-
nitions and stores they must turn and
again pass back through the hail of
projectiles. The traffic is directed pre-
cisely as in London. Many former Lon
don policemen control it. No departure
from the rule of the road is permitted.
Control Soldiers to Direct.
There is n control soldier at every
street corner. every crossroad and
wherever a switch road has been open
ed. His word. indeed. his slightest
gesture, Is law. NO matter now not
the fire about him, he must stick to it
until killed or disabled. when another
man instantly steps into his place.
Every main road is marked on the
enemy maps and his guns can be laid
on any point within range. Through
those barrages must pass not only
strings of wagons and men going and
coming. but ambulances filed with
wounded. And all along the way are
roadmakers ever ready for rapid re-
pairing of the spots that become Inn
passable.
