had been provisionally repaired before
the actual end of the fighting. Less
than 200 miles of destroyed roadbed
remain unserviceable.
Of the destroyed railways between
Paris and Helglum on the Northern
Hallway nearly s per cent of the
portions out of service Inst Novem

less complete, hut even on this line
which suffered heavily on the Cham
pagne and Verdun fronts, over 80
percent of the lines are again belnt
used.
Much of the restoration work has
had to be of a temporary nature be
cause of the shortage of materials.
The hardest work was encountered In
the region about Verdun and along
the valley of the Meuse where numer.
ous tunnels and bridges were destroy
ed. Nearly one half of the restored
mileage hus been on double track
lines.
The rebuilding of the network of
Canaus Is progressing almost as rap- ,
Idly as the railway work. The total ,
dlstroyed mileage of canals exceeded
700 miles, together with 450 bridges
and 115 locks. Hy October 1 the

Borne of the letters were too favor
able to the Germans, and Halyburton
established a censorship In each pen.
He .knew the Germans were waiting
for favorable letters to publish.
Another battle against propaganda
was against an individual named
Knders, who claimed to be American,

eral times at the camps saying he was
gathering data to prove that Ameri

This machinery waa Identified by t

Though making heroic efforts to
reassert herself In the linen Industry,
the city of Lille Is making but little
progress because of the absence of
spinning machines. Of over 500,000
sp!ndles which were operated In and
about Lille before the war less than
12.000 are, working now. The other

When the armistice was signed the
German guards suddenly disappeared. 1
Those who remained were lenient.
They told the Americans that pris
oners were free to go to towns and do
as they pleased. Halyburton saw ;
danger In this. If the men became
mixed up in revolutionary measures. j
It would further complicate their food
and orders weer Issued for every man
to stay in his camp and .do his work.
By this time each man had been as
signed to some sort of wok for which
he yas adapted. There were tailors,
shoemakers, barbers, cooks and prac-
Itiacally every type of Industry needed
in camp. Including a staff for the
camp paper which was copied py
hand, cartoons Included, and posted
for reading.
The order was difficult for many
men to understand, but it was adher
ed to by practically everyone. . Next
came the organisation of trainloads
of men to leave for France. One by
one these problems were met. and the
soldiers were assisted by Red Cross
men who arrived from Swltserlund.
The lted Cross men were amazed by
the organization the doughboys had
accomplished in every camp, and
found the native- populations In dis
tricts around American camps full of
admiration for the way the Yankees
had handled themselves under diffi
culties and without authority.
