FOR DAILY SUPPLY
AMERICAN IWULAT1XG MASK,
ADVA NX' E ZONK. France, Oct. Ml.
(Correspondence of (lie Associated
Press.) The "uutmiuuie train' is
one of the strunue devices wliich has
sprufiL' out t the war. nnd there is
nothing atiite like it in the whole
TUiitiG of railway transnorlation. It
has been developed hv the American
military authorities here as one of
the 'necessities of keeping m an au
tomat ie dailv supply of food, font ire
and all requirements, to every unit
of the American expeditionary force
in Krunee. To do this with unvarying
regularity each dav. so that every
man in every division stret -hinir over
a vast area uloni; 'MH) miles of front,
would have his daily needs supplied
was a huge problem.
The only solution was to secure ab
solute uniformity, or n standardiza
tion of truins by which the make-up
would be automatic, dav alter dav.
And out of this has come the "auto
matic" train of the American armv.
whicli is one of the wonders of Amer
ican organization.
IJke ItiK Jitf
Watching the make mi of the "miNi
mntie train" a they o forward to
the American divisions on the fight
ing front, is like watching some gi
pantic jig saw puzzle, for there Is
the same fitting together of confused
i arts, until at last all the pieces form
a complicated whole of 15 of these so
called "automatic trains." fiO ears to
n train, each train moving off to one
of the American divisions.
It was f sleepy village last Octo
ber with 2.000 inhabitants, today it
is the center of intense activity, with
an Amerienn working force of 'J2.000
eleven times the population of a
vear ago with 72 miles of vard
trackage. 45 enormous warehouses,
and railwavs radiatin" to every point
of the long front held wholly or in
part bv American troops.
Last month 3'J.HOli cars were mov
ed, or over 1.0(H) n dav in this stu
pendous stream of supplies going
forward to the fighting forces.
Pulitiiol llilimrd imiiiiim liiliiur nl'fi-
pcer, and Captain Bigger, regulating
'officer, explained the details of these
automatic trains, and later there was
fun opportunity to see the trains ns
f embled like parts in a huge puzzle
iind started on their way to the
front. The basis on which the tin
- tomatic trains are made up is as fol
lows:
Composition of Train
Two ears of refrigerated fresh
beef.
Two cars of fresh bread.
Seven cars of food comprised in the
soldier's ration.
Konr cars of fuel for cooking.
Fourteen cars of forage for horses.
One car of gasoline, mineral oil and
lubricants for motors.
One car of mail and packages.
These are the fixed and Practically
invariable cements of each auto
matic train, the same wants of food
and forage being repeated dav alter
day.
