RAILWAY ENGINEERS IN FRANCE.

when the history Of the American
engineering regiments in France comes
TO be written, says Francis a Collins
IN his new book "The Fighting Engineers. :"
"one OF their achievements. which
has hitherto passed iIucitcd, will doubtless
take high place. During the Allied ad-
vance at Cambria, American engineers
quickly extended their tracks far behind
the enemy trenches. In the forward rush
they suddenly came upon German rail-
road that had been left untouched in the
panic of retreat The challenge was in
stantly accepted by the Americans, who
connected their own line with the German
system, SO that trains could pass from
the Allied line to the former German
railroad without interruption Our en-
gineers laid altogether eight miles Of
tracks on the heels Of the advancing
column. BY British officers this work has
been commended as the most daring
pseoe Of construction 10 the war"

William Wright. the loss being estimated
at $1,000 The lightning did not conhnc
itself to one farm. but jumped about and
struck IN scores of places Horses and

were targets for the bolts. The losses thus
far reported are:

bushels of wheat were burned.
