such manner that there will be no de-

At the port, which 1 can describe only

will be cared for at and from many
other ports. at each of which there are
already improvements in harbors, docks,

The colonel of certain regiment
stationed here introduced me to a cap
tain whose most famous work in the
United States was the buildinge of the
railroad along the Florida keys. He
took me to see the work here, not. as a
spectacle to impress strangers, but in
the course of his daily round of super
vision. First We went where were the
docks of the city. with huge ships unload
ing their cargoes from America. with ne
gro stevedores in the old L. S. A. uniforms,
singing as they worked. and the cranes
creaking and the loads falling unin-
terrupted1y and with heavy sounds into
the freight cars or on the dock.
The dock was an American dock. The
cars ran on American rails, laid by
American engineers, for one of the first
jobs was to revolutionize the old peace
time French rail system. The French
used little turntables. which were good
enough for small cars and plenty of
time. The Americans knew they had to
get the loads out of the ships quickly.
