"The arrival, however, of our comrades from across the Atlantic speedily changed the aspect of affairs in this respect. and soon in many directions trains were carrying men, supplies and ma teriaI from the railhead at Boisleux- au-mont to the vicinity of the for ward trenches"
 The sixth British Corps at that time was holding the line just south of Arras. Early in 1918 came the tremendous effort of the Germans to break through the British line and reach the sea. The Sixth Corps bore it's full share of the brunt those March and April days. Of the part played in this activity by the 14th Engineers, General Haldane writes: Railroad Changes Hands.

automobile, undoubtedly, has had something to do with this great ex- odus to the outdoors" said W. II. Loller. chairman of the touring and transportation board of the Amer ican Automobile association. "The average motorist has the feeling that he can now venture out on long dis tance tours without the fear of motor or tire trouble to mar his journey
 He can do this by having his ear thoroughly gone over by his home garage before starting. He knows that almost anywhere he chooses to go in this present motor age that he is certain to find dependable ga rages to make necessary repairs or again check up on the various me- chanical features of his automobile, which permits him to again start out on the next lap of his journey

Loller con- tinued. and then there are always a large number of people able to stay where they please. who prefer living out-of-doors as much as pos sible; and they augment the crowd of motor campers to a considerable eL- tent.
 "All these and various other reasons are combining to make this the greatest touring season in the history of the United States and as road construction is right at lt2 peak at the present time, causing many temporary detours, the various autos mobile clubs affiliated with the A.
