SECTIONAL NARROW
GAUGE RAIL LINES
PLAN FOR BORDER

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, July A.
Use of sectional narrow-gauge rail-
roads salvaged from equipment sent
the American Expeditionary Forces in
France probably will be made soon in
the Big Bend district of Texas, ac-
cording to officers of the Southern
Department, following the visit here
of Lieutenant Colonel II. B. Per Lee,
u. S. engineer corps, to ascertain
southern department needs for such
material.
The railway under consideration
is made i'm twelve-foot sections, and
may be laid as rapidly as needed. Its
use, officers said, would be for emer-
gency transportation rather than a
permanent line, although it might be
used permanently to posts far from
the railroad. Most of the Big Bend
section, where regular cavalry has
been stationed in considerable num-
bers since 1916. is without even good
automobile ROADS, but transportation
of freight by motor trucks has been
the usual practice for the Hst two
years. 1t was in the Big Bend coun-
try that most of the experimental
work with the present army system
Of motor transportation was under
taken.
The contemplated use of sectional
narrow-gauge railroad would, officers
Of the southern department indicat-
ed, be likewise experimental.
