GOOD RESULTS I1
OF ENGINEER ,
CORPS IN WAR:
i
■ i
WASHINGTON, May 26 (by Asso- ,
ciated Press).—The war story of the i
engineer corps at home and in France |
is told officially for the first time in <
chapters of the war department’s brief c
history of American war efforts made i
public today in advance sheets. Many t
of the recorded accomplishments of
the engineers have been published be- 1
fore as isolated incidents, but this is i
the first complete and connected story 1
which gives any idea of the extraord- !
inary scope of the duties modern war
fare has laid upon engineering troops. |
Probably the best illustration of
this so far as the troops in France
are concerned is the technical organ
ization of the units of the engineers
which reached the other side. There
were seven regiments and two bat- '
talions of railway construction en
gineers; five battalions for mainten
ance o way; two battalions for main
tenance of railway equipment; four
regiments and one battalion to oper- 1
ate the main American railways In
France; three regiments to operate
light railways and their repair shops;
two regiments to operate the regular
railway repair shops; two regiments
and six battalions on general construc
tion work; two regiments for storing
and transporting engineer supplies; a
construction regiment; a road build
ing regiment; a water supply regi
ment; a quarrying regiment; a tech
nical regiment for surveying and
sound ranging; three survey and
printing battalions; two railway trans
portation battalions; an electrical and
mechanical regiment; several separ
ate companies to operate cranes, a
camouffage service; five inland water
way companies to operate canal boats
and the like; five pontoon trains and
a pontoon park; a railway transporta
tion and stores battalion and a search
light regiment.
These special units, all composed of
ment trained in civil life in the United
States for the work they did in
France, were in addition to the fight
ing engineers with each division, the
sappers, who formed about eight per
cent of all the combatant troops in
France.

1,303 locomotives before the arni’jstjce
was signed of which 908 were bj serv.
ice at that time. In addition, Eg 3131
freight cars were shipped abrorfd ’both
engines and cars having been' ’duc_
ed specially for service in, Fr„n„_

Our ice cream made fresh daily is pure and delicious. :g
Our Fountain always has several flavors of ice cream gj
on hand. - jg
Our formula and methods of making ice cream is the jg
same as for the past several years. jg
Our crushed fruits and syrups are the best on the jg
market, namely the J. C. Hungerford Smith brand. gj
Our ice cream bought in pint or quart cartoons is jg
handy to take home or we wflll deliver it to you. gj
Our Fountain drinks and dishes are snappy and up jg
to date. A trial of one of our specials will convince you. gj
Our price for ice cream, sodas, sundaes, etc., is the jg
same as for the past several seasons; we have not raised jg
our prices, even though all fountain supplies have great- jjj:
ly increased in cost, especially fruits and syrups. |j
We have been able to do this through keeping down |j
the operating expense of this department of our store. §
