oneers for most every army ac-
 tiVity, transformed this port Into
 an American city with the con-
 struction of some 900 buildings,
 a water system with a reservoir
 of 100000 gallons, an electric
 light system, 13 miles of macad-
 am road and over 52 miles of
 board walks. The barracks build
 ing if placed end to end would
 reach a distance of ten miles.
 In the many great warehouses about Brest the QuarterInaster has most everything 8 city of 60,000 pop ulation would want. Food for S0,O0O men three times a day is furnished by him as we'll as clothing. A laun- dry with a capacity of 30,OO0 gar ments a day is operated and a sal wage plant employing some 2000 French girls cleans, repairs and press es all the clothing left by the troops passing through the port.
 >11oo Motor Trucks Supply Camp
 The Motor Transport Corps oper- ates some HOO trucks in supplying the camp with the articles used there On account of the high bluffs at Brest the construction of a railroad was impracticable and the motor truck made possible the large camp at Pontanezen.
 When one leaves the port of Brest he is impressed with the idea that ev- erything humanly and reasonably pos cihIo bod haap dopa f0 fro0oP0r,,, o,, unattractive place to one of service to the man who had to go through this port.
 Very little freight was handled at Brest by reason of the lack of rail road facilities, but at St. Nazarre more freight was handled than at any other port of France, having an av- craze of 3,7O2 tons day for 1917, 1918 and 1919, but of coure now with a much larger capacity for discharg- ing freight; in fact I have seen 12,- SIT tons unloaded in one day.
 The port of St Nazaire has had up to April 1st, 1919, fourteen docks, some equipped with electric cranes of 180 tons capacity each and with lighters and other floating equipment, as many as 24 ships have been in process of unloading at one time.
 The engineers of St. Nazalrs
 have built some 5,424 buildings ! over an area of 32 million square
 feet; they have constructed 271
 miles of railroad in the camp; . they have laid s4 miles water mains, 43 miles of sewers con
 structed and rebuilt 253 miles

 camp, spending about $25,ooo,ooo

 of Base Section No. 1, est. Nazaire) had gone over the dock warehouse situation and discovered that not more than 100000 square feet would be available for storage, it was read fly seen that something must be done to provide an outlet for the vast flow of supplies which would soon be ar irving daily. Their first thought was of car congestion, and with this I thought in mind small yard of twelve tracks was planned and built along the line of the Paris and Or leans railroad at Montair.
 Build Railroad on Inundated Land Hardly, however, had this yard been built than it was found to be far too small for the needs and plans were made for a greater yard, along the north shore of the Loire river Here stretched a fiv-mile strip of | land, flat as a table, used for grazing cattle, but which at high tide was covered with from six to twelve inch es of water. The French ridiculed the idea as not being feasible. Then, too, the ground belonged to about five hundred different people How ever, the foolish American knowning no impossibilities, and stopping at nothing, soon had miles of tracks tracks laid on the bare ground pro- tected by series of drainage ditches and on April 17th, 1918, the first cars were run into the great yards des- l tined to become the largest in the world in miles of trackage and sec ond in warehouse room.
 On observer passing through this immense railroad yard on the train 1 from St Nazaire would first notice the large docks running out into the Loire river The 5000 piles and the lumber used in the construction of these docks by the 17th Engineers came from the Vosges mountains and from the forest of Oregon.
 On the left side of: -the railroad stands Camp Dodge, housing the rail- road men, and Camp Gron with the 17th Engineers. These camps are both built on reclaimed land by a process of dyke construction. Then we come to the receiving yard, com posed of nine tracks of 2,0O0 feet in length Next is the lumber yard, saw mill and filtration plant The saw mill handles 5O,O00 feet of lum- Der a day. The filtration plant is a part of the water system and has capacity of 100000 gallons a day Over 100000 gallons of water are re- quired each day to run the swith en- zines alone.
 , Assemble 1000 Locomotives
 The round house, machine shop, re- pair shop, blacksmith shop and as- sembling plant for setting up locomo- tives are quite interesting places. A modern power plant provides light and power for the many buildings at this camp and St. Nazaire. A force of 200 American soldiers and 100 German prisoners set up over 1000 1 American locomotives in the assemb- ] ling plant.
 The Hump with twenty tracks is used for the assembling of loaded cars. After passing an immense coal yard we come to the warehouses Four ordnance warehouses 50x240 feet, and four more 50x4S0 feet, 75 storage warehouses 50x400 feet, 53 more of them 5Ox5O5 feet, and a whole flock of quartermaster ware houses 50x770 feet There are 1547

tificiality through the construction of water and electric light systems, buildings, roads, docks, and miles up- on miles of board walks.
 The American area at Brest is di- vided into the Post of Brest and Camp PontaneZen about three miles from Brest. The camp has an aver age population continually of about 60,000 men with 45O barrack build ings and 5000 floored tents. The camp is electrically lighted and has ample bathing and delousing and ad- equate hospital facilities. Every sol dier is provided with bed and mat tress and all barracks and tents have stoves in hem. These stoves make very good ornaments and some tents also have pokers and coal 'shovels, and occasionally we managed for something to put in the stoves.
 Feeding System Best in A. E. F
 Brig. Gen. s. D. Butler U. s. M. C., stated to me one day that the pride of the camp was the large troop kitchens and when I was there last April found the feeding system about the best in the A. E. F., with eleven troop kitchens in operation, each accommodating 5000 men and in one kitchen I found that $500 men had just been fed by this kitchen alone in less than 20 minutes.
 Due to the continuous rain at Brest, and in fact all the east coast camps in France, one of the most necessary improvements there was the elabo- rate system of board walks which connect all the billets with the kitch- ems and other buildings in the camp.
 Statements have been made that during the Flu" epidemic at Brest there were an unusual number of deaths in that camp, and there is no disputing the fact that many of the men did die from this disease: yet in considering the number of men hand led at this camp the percentage was very small. The record of the camp for November when the death rate was the highest shows just a daily average of deaths for each 100, 900 men in camp and from figures secur- ed this April the rate during the month of March was death per 100000 men, which is far below the normal in our own cities in this country. This showing was mostly the result from the excellent system of physical examinations which the men undergo upon their arrival at the camp. Each man is given an e1- aT ina do. h, ;w- in camp and by reason of this any di- sease prevalent can be caught in time to prevent spreading.
 All Go Through Delouser
 Upon arriving at the Camp all the men go through the delouser, after which they receive clean clothes, mostly salvage, then they must change all French money into Amer ican money and they remain in quarantine until they leave on the boat for home. During March of this year some 5000 officers and 1O4,9S5 men were returned to the, States through this camp.

G,ayety and Prosperity

one new idea after another before
our eyes, as if endeavoring to make

Long Coat Suit
Is Cheruit' S Favorite

of the most authoritative homes
of fashion, makes the long coat suit
to the exclusion of all others. We

this type Of suit 1t has just arrived

something like the old-fashioned
Bedford cord is the material used,
and the trimming is "chinchilla-

more than the little gray squirrel
dyed in stripes to match as nearly
as possible the color and pattern Of
the real chinchilla fur.

Beauty of Color Linked
With Historical Dress
THE contrast between clothes de-

THE contrast between clothes de-
signed by woman and those
by man is marked in the
wonderful collection of Paul Poiret
this season, collection which any
one at all interested in dress, either
for its beauty or its history, cannot
fail to enjoy, for here startling and
vivid beauty of color is linked with
the historical dress of the past and
the feelings that are agitating the
world at the present day. Poiret's
famous Robespierre dress, developed
in black velvet and girdled with vivid
red, is sketched to-day.
The young girls frock, also pic
tured, is the direct opposite in feel
ing to the gown designed by this
famous soldier couturicr. 1t is a
typical Partisan style, exploited by
houses catering to the debutante. To
the romantic days of the gay French
court we are indebted for it's de-
sign. Here are no masterful touches
of strong color, but a beautiful
blending Of delicate tones of rose,
blue and silver. Rose net, embroid-
cred with silver III an all-over pat
tern, falls over slip of very deli
cate blue. the same shade as the
casaque, which is blue taffeta. The
sash is silver ribbon.
