Stretch Over Several Square
Miles at U. S. Distributing
Base in France.
BALED HAY 30 FEET HIGH
AMERICAN REGULATING BASE,
AD\ ANCE ZONE, Prance, October- &
(Correspondence of the Associated
Press).?Warehouses stretching over
several square miles, baled hay by
the acre piled thirty feet in height,
and other vast quantities of supplies
needed to maintain the American
Army mark this distributing center
as one of the points where on* ob
tains an adequate idea of the
tremendous push America is putting
into the war.
This vast accumulation of supplies
is necessary to keep trainloads of
food, clothing, ammunition trucks,
wagons, wheelbarrows, medical
stores and the whole range of the'
Army wants moving forward in a
hugre daily traffic with -unvarying
precision so that no division, no mat
ter what its losses in material, need
suffer.
Each warehouse Is a hive of In
dustry, with the supplies moving out
from one side to the front, and mov
ing in from the other side as the
steady streams of supplies flow in
from the American base ports so that
the full quota always be maintain
ed here.
Machine Gtrns Tested.
At one point machine guns were
being tested before going forward to
the front. This was in the machine
gun section of the ordnance park,
with a vast array of these deadly
mechanical devices. Squads of sol
diers were making the final tests, and
the rattle of guns sounded like an
early morning skirmish oh the firing
line.
Almost as noisy as the machine
guns were the machines for baling
hay, which stretched in long batteries
like thrashing- machines, devouring
the stacks of loose hay and turning
it out in compact bundles for the
artillery'and cavalry horses.
Farther on the balloon sheds were
turning out the big gasbags for use
on observation along the front. These
are assembled and packed, and some
of the parts are made "here. Like
everything else, the supply of balloons
must be finally regulated here, de
pending on the number lost or de
stroyed along the front; and the vary
ing activities of the different sectors.
Near by 1.800 German prisoners were
at work piling fuel wood. .It was a
hot autumn day and the air was heavy
and gray with the dust of the im
mense traffic going on. But the pris
oners did not seem to mind the crea
ture discomforts, but bent to their
work with a will, while American
guards with rifles ready stood at the
summit of the huge piles of wood to
see there was no slacking.
Another 700 German prisoners had
arrived the night before, so soon there
will be 2.5po of these workers han
dling pick's and shovels instead of
rifles.
This is the headquarters also for the
salvage carried on at the front, and
for the extensive system of sterilizing
and delousing. As the vast debris of
the battlefields is gathered up?brok
en oannon and guns, ammunition,
harness, tcntage, etc.?it comes back
here In huge masses to be assembled
and forwarded to the big salvage sta
tion at Tours.
Complete Sterilizing' System.
The sterilizing system also radiates
from here, and while the actual work
is done at the front, yet the regulat
ing is all carried on here, with stacks
of clothing, underclothing, shoes, etc..
moving forward constantly to meet
the requirements of this systematic
cleansing.
Gas attacks have developed the
greatest need for thorough cleansing,
for often after one of these attacks
every stitch of clothing of the gas pa.
tients has to be destroyed, and all the
blankets and equipment which have
the faintest trace of the deadly fumes,
and this in turn calls for a complete
reoutfit of clothing and equipment of
all those exposed to the gas.
SHIPBUILDING DRIVE SEEN
IN THE DENUDED FORESTS
Pine Trees in Which Birds
Nests Last Spring Are Now
Ships Beady for Cargoes.
GALVESTON", Tex., November 1.?
Pine trees in which birds were build
ing nests at sowing time last spring
are now made into ships ready for
cargoes of grain destined for Europe,
and the forests of the south every
where show the results of the great
shipbuilding drive.
Construction of a single ship of the
Ferris type, calling for nearly 2,000,
000 feet of lumber, necessitates the
clearing of nearly a thousand acres
of pine trees. The Daugherty type
ship requires a million and a half feet
of lumber. While the pine forests of
Louisiana and Texas produce from
10.000 to 20,000 feet of lumber i!n
acre, only a small percentage of this
is available for shipbuilding.
Twoscore vessels already have been
launched at Beaumont, Orange and
Houston, and the consumption of lum
ber at Orange alone will denude more
than 100,000 acres of forest.
Shipyards at Beaumont and Hous
ton will take as much more. The
yards at Lake Charles, Morgan City,
New Orleans, Slidell, Pascagoula, Gulf
??"? ,BUoxi- Pensacola and Mobile
likewise are drawing on the forests
of the south, and the woodland cleared
will total millions of acres when the
shipbuilding campaign is over.
The Emergency Fleet Corporation
has contracted for all available ship
timber, and would use more if it could
be produced. At Beaumont the fleet
corporation has built one of the.larg
est lumber yards of the country on
fifty acres of land presented by the
city.
Louisiana has 50,000 men In Its 700
saw mills, while Texas has no more
than half that number, although
Texas has a larger number of saw
mills. If labor sufficient to operate
the mills at fnll capacity were avail
able, both Texas and Louisiana would
be producing more lumber this year
than ever before.
