AMERICAN PORT, Southwestern
I France, Oct. 22. Eighteen big ste »m
| ships of 6,000 to S.OuO tons each were
9 | unloading American army goods at the
, rate of 10,000 tons a day along the
three miles of American docks here
today. The spectacle was a stirring
scene of activity. Crowds of enlisted
men assisted at the hatches and man
ipulated the giant cranes as big steel
motor trucks were lifted bodily, along
with parts of locomotives and railway
cars, and all the miscellaneous freight
of an army, while an army of negro
stevedores kept the steady stream of
goods moving back to the nearby
warehouses and trains.
Taking care of this avalanche of
army goods coming from America, is
quite as much of a problem as taking
care of the arriving troops. Here one
obtains an idea of the mammoth pro
portions of the equipment which the
Americans have been compelled to set
up for this branch of the expedition.
Coming from a northern port, a suc
cession of big American establish
ments was seen at every port along
j the western coast. At one port were
fourteen American docks or berths,
,ai .mother port eight, at a third four,
another three. Here at this main
port are sixteen American docks each
with a thousand feet of frontage.
These forts-live docks at the five
main ports represent a dock frontag •
of about ten miles, capable of unload
ing 110,000 tons of army goods every
day, or an average of about fifty
■ pounds per man for every one s. rving
| in France.
And vet, great as this present equip
! ment is, it represents only about u
third ot the vast installation v.hic.i
i is moving steadily forward to comple
tion in order to moot the needs of ail
army oi ov oral mi,1dm men. The
hasi - of calculation for this huge work
is Ml pounds per day per man this
being an average covering the whole
; range oi military supplies, individual
and general, food, clothing, ammuni
tion. guns, and all other army re
' qniremeii!s.
! On this established basis of fifty
1 pounds per day per man, an army of
a million men requires 50,000,000
pounds of goods daily, or 25.000 tons,
iiut as the American army in Europe
has long exceeded the million mark,
the scale of preparation must be far
in excess of this 25,000 tons a day,
reaching not far from the gigantic
total of 100,000 tons daily, to be un
loaded from ships, stored in ware
houses and trains, and started on its
way to the men at the front. It is
this colossal daily requirement which
stirs into intense activity these mile*
on miles of American docks where
three shifts of soldier vvorkment, work
. ing night and day. are unloading
. scores of steamships.
Seven miles hack from the water
front there is another huge American
installation where goods from these
ships are stored on their way to the
front. It is gigantic, like everything
in this vast military inllux, and when
we visited it today the 147th ware
house had just then been completed.
Each warehouse is 500 feet long and
together they stretch along four miles
of front.
In the neighboring camp were 7,000
negro troops and laborers engaged In
the warehouse work. An American
■ railway system connects the water
* front directly with this storage plant
and incessant streams of army goods
keep moving forward to the warehouse
plant Tile whole place fairly throbs
with animation, and besides the enor
i mous industry there is the bustle and
activity of countless camps with their
I khaki tents dotting the fields for
: miles along the railway.
Altogether, on the water front and
receiving plant, the working force in
cludes 1.1,1)00 engineer troops, 7,000
I stevedores, 8,000 civilian laborers,
1,000 German prisoners and 1,000 in
fantry, in all 30,000 men carrying on
the American activities at this one
port.
