BEHIND THE LINES.

when Germany started the war she
had three distinct advantages over the al.
hes-an enormous army trained to the
minute, vast industrial equipment to
supply all needs and advantage of
surprise attack in force. The leaders
depended upon the latter, knowing that
Belgium, France and England were I'M
prepared. One would expect that the
Germans would have been standing at
attention ready for start at the word
of command considering the objects of
the enterprise. It was necessary, how
ever, to deal with the third element.
the industrial, upon a scale never at
tempted in any previous war in order
TO insure success. To this end, it is
said, Germany had planned for years.
seeing to it that there should be bodies
of men, each with the special indus.
trial training which would enable them
to do their part in the manufacture of
munitions, engines of war and all other
things necdful as parts of wcll-round-
cd scheme that the enemy could match
only after long delay.
In the matter of explosives for ex-
ample, it happens that the equipment
necessary to produce them is either
identical with or very similar to that
required for the manufacture of ami
line dyes. Consequently. in order to
have extensive works equipped for
instant production of explosives. the
government did everything in its
power to stimulate the trade in dive.
stuffs. To this end bribery was used
IN foreign countries to secure and hold
trade and, we believe. bounties were
paid. when necessary, to insure large
production.
The force expended in the field of in
dustry by Germany at once set the pace
for the allies. 1t must be equaled or
surpassed TO avert defeat When tho

war it was necessary to add a vast trans
portation and storage system to all the
other facilities in order to maintain a
proper supply of food, munitions and the
varied equipment required in recent
warfare
With nearly 100000 mon in France
then, extensive operations were carried
on behind the lines to supply the army
with all things needed Railways and
motor roads were constructed, saws a
press despatch, and across the sea
were brought locomotives, cars, rails
and motor transports of every kind,
food, clothing and general supplies, ana
extensive docks and mammoth ware
houses were built. We sent to France
967 locomotives and 1914 freight ears
and used in addition $50 locomotives
and 773 ears of foreign make. We also
constructed Si3 miles of standard
gauge railway and Is miles of light
railway, repaired 40 miles of German
light railway and operated 225 miles
of French railway. In building and
repairing roads and bridges American
engineers worked day and night. The
whole region behind the American
lines is full of road machinery, much
Of it of kind never before seen in
Europe. Our forces had in operation
upon Nov. II more than $4,000 motor
vehicles of all descriptions The food
supplies for our army now in France
are enormous, 39O,OOO,OOO rations of
beans, for example.
In the matter of docks, 10 steamer
berths have been built at Bordeaux,
