In the city itself the Americans

Direct railroad lines lead not only
from the bakery and the refrigerating
plant to the camps but also from the
seaports and the city.
Several miles westward, at the low
es apex Of the triangle, lies another
French town which has been all but
bodily taken over by the Americans
as storage center. Here nOn-perish-

One Of the largest buildings which
the Americans have taken over Is de-

The needs Of the troops is estimated
at several pairs of shoes a year and
