The other conducteur (flagman) rides on the rear. and when the train stops at station, he is protected by a yard limit board, and home signal. which is placed at danger, on train entering sta tion by the chef de gare (station agent. But should a train stop for any cause between stations, the rear couducteur has to go back one kilometer (tive-eighths of a mile) and protect, placing two tor pedoes down, one on each track 10 feet apart, and wait until he hears his train whistle off the wait-five minutes-and follow train to the next station, possibly two miles or more, where the train waits for him. The second train is pro- tected by the chef de gare's home sig nal and cautioned by the torpedoes.
 No draw bars are used, just link hook with buffers attached on every car. No switcheS to line up; going west you run through all the switches Going east they are all lined Up for the side track and all trains lead through this one single track. On double track all switches are operated by a towerman. IL Wouiu lahS very AHuCh tilue TOT tHe to explain clearly the operation of this railroad system, but to me they appear good many years behind times.
 While all the employees are organized, they receive very poor pay, averaging from 25o to $50 francs monthly No limit to hours of service and no working conditions. Standard gauge delivers to narrow gauge right into the trenches and we take up supplies. troops and ammunition and bring back German prisoners. We call it the Berlin special.
 Good luck to you all, for you people across the pond are all doing your part, and it is well appreciated by the boys of the American eXpeditionary forces"
