GIEVRES, Central France, Aug. 10. -(Correspondence of The Associated Press. )-TOday a forest, tomorrow a building, the next day a workshop.
 This is the way the astOnished French people describe how the Am erieans have suddenly constructed a huge establishment here, turning what was a pine forest into warehouses and then turning these into vast and busy centers for the huge mass of army sup plies on the way to the front
 Gievres is a sort of halfway point, midway between the coast and the fir ing line, and is the central supply de- pot of the intermediate zone. Here things are sorted and arranged as they come pell-mell from the ocean ports, in vast miscellaneous masses just out of the holds of steamers, food, guns, clothing, barbed wire, medicine, car rier pigeons, refrigerated beef, rolling kitchens and all the conglomeration of supplies needed by a million men. Ev- erything must be in order before it goes forward to the advance zone where the fighting is going on and this is where the order is brought out of the seeming chaos in this tidalwave of army goods sweeping in from Am erica.
 The Gievre depot has been laid in an elongated diamond shape, and com. pared to a baseball Giamoud ii is sev- en miles from the home plate to sec Ond base, and two miles across from first to third base. Within this enor- nous diamond are eighty huge ware houses and scores of other buildings, some of them of unprecedented mag nitude. One of these is a refrigerat- ing plant rivaling those ir the Chi cago meat district When we went into it today It had over 10000, 900 pounds of frozen beef enough to feed 10000 900 men twenty days
 This is only une detail Of the vast depot of the intermediate zone with its miles of buildings and yards stack ed with soldiers food, soldiers cloth ing. ammunition and ordnance stores of all kinds, medical supplies, soldiers libraries furnished by the American Library association, and all the Y. M. c. 4. supplies sent to it's countless branches, for everything for the army is centered here before 1t goes forward to the ment.
 The yards are on the same vast scale as the warehouses. with stocks of coal half a mile long and eighty feet high-a comforting assurance for the warmth of the troops next winter and miles of baled hay for artillery horses. Shovels and wheelbarrows were piled up like mountain hay stacks. The well-boring machinery filling one park made it look like a Pennsylvania oil region. Another park had camouflage material Another had stacks of building paper for sheathing barracks.
 Pontoons and bridges and all the materials for crossing rivers will come along in due time. for it was pointed out that this will be needed to cross the Rhine"
 Along one side of the depot 800 cars were bringing in this huge stock of war material just as it came from the ships. and on the other side 800 cars were taking it away to the ad- vance zone after it had passed through the processes of arrangement-eac train a standard train with a fixed space for each article of the soldiers food ration, each article of clothing.

 With the cOmmandant of the depot The Associated Press correspondent made a tour over the plant, some 20 miles by automobile through the maze of activity and vast material re- sources At one point a remount sta ton begun three days ago was well along toward completion. and it will soon be one of the main supplies for horses.
 One whole depot was devoted to the new devices for gas attacks. defensive and offensive, with great stocks of gas masks, and the gas itself. and quantities of phosphorus and disinfect ants to sprinkle the trenches and
