Supplies are brought across the chan
nel daily. The railway Hues run
straight down to the docks, bo the
goods are put on the trains as they
are taken out of the ship. Each divi
sion. army corps and army has its own
railhead, or, in other words, each one
of these units has its own station in
which its supplies are delivered. Ev
ery unit has its own supply column,
which is made up of any number of
motor trucks, the total varying accord
ing to the strength of the unit. These
motor trucks pull up on each side of
the train, and the supplies are shifted
In a very short space of time. Each
motur truck is loaded with only one
kind of goods, and as the column leaves
the station yard ail vehicles carrying
the same kind of goods group them
selves together, so that when they Anal
ly move off ten trucks of meat may be
leading the eoiunin, l'oiiowed by vari
ous numbers of truck loads of bread,
groceries, clothing, hay and grain,
petrol and mechanical supplies. In this
way the goods are all dumped together,
and they practically form separate lit- I
tie stores for each article.
The "first dump." us it is called. Is a
place cleared away on the side of the
road where the men may deposit the
supplies so that it will be convenient |
for the horse transport lo come and
get them. Here the goods are unload
ed. and the motor column returns to
headquarters. After it is dark the
horse transport comes down from the
trenches, loads its wagons and imme
diately returns to the trenches, where
the supplies are,! sued to each unit for
distribution to the smaller units.
The motors complete their work in
an Incredibly short time. They have
seven or eight miles lo carry their
loads and In some cases even farther,
yet within two or three hours from the
time they leave their camps in the
morning they are back again, and the
army has been provided for another
day.
To each motor vehi le three men are
assigned. They are known as the first,
second nn'l third drivers and are all of
them qualified chauffeurs. In case any
thing happens i>> the first driver the
others are there to take his place. The
first driver has i'uu care of the engine
and the driving of the truck, while the
other two men have the greasing and
oiling and cleaning of the vehicle, and
they also assist in the loading and un
loading of supplies. The motors are In
spected daily, and if not in perfect
running order they are at once taken
care of by the column workshops.
These workshops are very efficient,
and it is remarkable what thorough
work they can turn out. They are each
fitted with a lathe, forge, benches, etc.,
the lathe being run by a small motor
cycle engine provided for that purpose.
If for any reason the column is un
able to repair a motor, that vehicle is
sent to one of the bases where there
are stationary workshops, and a new
truck Is sent back to replace It. The
mechanics in these workshops are all
trained men and are obliged to pass
severe tests before being accepted for
the work.
Many of them are men who have
worked on the building of cars In the
factories i;i England, and in cases like
this they are allowed to specialize on
the cars they are familiar with. The
only other mechanics who can claim to
be their superiors are those of the
Royal Flying eprps, and they are abso
lutely the cream of the mechanical
world and are one of the highest paid
bodies of men in lhe British army.

An American Boy's
Baptism of Fire
By WILLIAM J.ROBINSON
Copyri(bt, Little, Broun & Co.
The most graphlo account of the
Great war that has ret been written
comes from the pen of a twenty-two
year-old Boston boy, who has just re
turned from France, where as dragoon
guardsman, dispatch rider and motor
car driver he served fourteen months
under the British flag. Out of thirty
one motorcycle dispatch rider* he was
one of four survlvora
date is the department of stores and
accessories. The men In this depart
ment are not necessarily trained men,
but they must be good managers, as
they keep In stock all spare parts
which are likely to be called for. Be
sides this, they have charge of the
petrol oil, grease, carbide, tires for
light cars and, in fact, everything that
Is likely to be used on an automobile.
The petrol Is all sent from England In
two gallon tins. These tins ere sealed
when they are filled, and if * seal Is
broken when a tin of petrol is issued to
a driver, or If It appears to have been
opened he may refuse it and demand
one with the seal Intact. In this way
the chance of receiving defective or Im
pure petrol is avoided.
There are practically all known
makes of motor trucks and cars at the
front, as many of them were com
mandeered at the beginning of the war.
Then again, all the motor manufactur
ers In England are working day and
night to keep the armies supplied with
these vehicles. There are also a good
many American makes In use there.
The work of the chaplains at the
front Is not spoken of very much, yet
they work as hard and do as much
good as any men in any other branch
of the service. They are usually at-«
tached to the royal army medical
corps. I have seen a chaplain holding
service in a field on a Sunday morn
ing, and during the service the enemy
commenced to shell some huts close by.
I firmly believe that if it had not been
contrary to orders he would have con
tinued to worship Just the same as
though nothing was happening. 4
The royal army medical corps is a
tremendous unit, and there, too, will
be found some of the bravest men In
the army, even though they are non
combatants. This corps Is always re
ferred to as the It. A. M. C., and the
British Tommy speaks of It as the
"Rob All My Comrades."
There is a reason for this, of course,
and as near as 1 can make out it is
this: When a man is sick or wounded
and is obliged to go into hospital all
his belongings are taken from him. He
Is supposed lo get then back when he
is discharged from hospital, but when
one considers the thousands that are
taken care of by the hospitals It Is
only reasonable to believe that a great
many of the little buudles are bound
to go astray. Tummy cannot see this,
however, so he grumbles and growls
and often refers to the corps In uncom
plimentary terms.
CHAPTER V.
The "Mad Major."
THE nurses In the hospitals are
worshiped and adored by the
soldiers, and surely this Is as It
should be, for they are suffering al
most as much as the men, and yet they
keep cheerful and supply tjie tender
womanly sympathy which means so
much when in physical anguish. They
are a wonderful body of women, and

them are close enough to the front to

the men when it comes to facing dan
g*r
During an aeroplane raid last fall I
had a chance to watch some of the
nurses. We had about thirty German
aeroplanes over our encampment drop
ping bombs. As they went back to
their own lines they flow orer a hos
pital located in an open field. There
were huge red crosses painted on the
top of every tent, so it would seem
that any mistake as to I he nature of
the camp would be impossible. Never
theless as the tauLes passed over they
dropped several bombs In the hospital
and killed quite a number of the poor
chaps who wero. already wounded. The
nurses worked as hard as fhey could
trying to quiet the rest of the men,
and it is no easy task, for, while a sol
dier may face almost anything when
he is well, it is a very different matter
when he is lying helpless, wounded and
iu pain, on a stretcher..
