SUPPLY SERVICE
IN TROOP AREAS
American Regulating Base, Ad
vance Zone, France.—The “auto
matic train” is one of the strange
devices which has sprung out of
the war, and there is nothing quite
like it in the whole range of rail
way transportation. It was de
veloped by the American military
authorities 7n France as one of the
necessities of keeping up an auto
matic daliy supply of food, forage
and all requirements, to every unit
of the American Expeditionary
Force in France. To do this with
unvarying regularity each day, sc
that every man in every division
stretching over a vast area along
300 miles of front, would have his
daily needs supplied was a huge
problem.
The only solution was to secure
absolute uniformity, or a standard
ization of trains by which the make
up would be automatic day after
day. And out of this came the
“automatic train” of the American
army, one of the wonders of Ameri
can organization.
Watching the make-up of the
"automatic trains” as they go for
ward tothe American divisions is
like watching some gigantic jig-saw
puzzle, for there is the same fitting
together of confused parts, until at
last all the pieces form a completed
whole of fifteen of these so-called
"automatic trains”, 50 cars to a
train, each train moving off to one
of the American divisions.
At a small interior village of the
American Advance Force is the
center from which the automatic
trains moved out daily. The place
was well forward in the advance
zone, just far enough away from
the fighting to be out of reach of
hostile raids and yet near enough
to permit the supplies to move for
ward with the greatest facility.
It was a sleepy village last Octob
er. with 2,000 inhabitants, the
Yankees made it a center of intense
activity, with an American working
force of 22,000—eleven times the
population of a year ago—with 72
miles of yard trackage. 45 enormous
warehouses, and railways radiating
to every point of the long front
held wholly or in part by American
troops. -
During one month 32,000 cars
were moved, or o\<r 1,000 a day in
this stupendous stream of supplies
going forward to the fighting forces.
Colonel Hilgard, commanding offi
cer, and Captain Bigger, regulating
officer, explained the details of
these automatic trains, and later
there was an opportunity to see the
trains assembled like parts in a huge
puzzle and started on their way to
the front. The basis on which the
automatic trains were made up is as
follows:
2 cars of refrigerated fresh beef.
2 cars of fresh bread.
7 cars of food comprised in the
soldier’s ration.
4 cars of fuel for cooking.
Gentlemen’s Suits cleaned and
Pressed. Fur coats lined and reno
vated. Ladies’ suits and dresses

14 cars of forage for horses.
1 car of gasoline, mineral oil and
lubricants for motors.
1 car of mail and packages.
These were the fixed and prac
tically invariable elements of each
automatic train, the same wants of
food and forage being repeated day
after day.
In addition, each division had
varying wants of clothing, ammuni
tion, medical supplies, etc. These
varying elements were added to
j each train, according to the needs
! of the division.
Thus, 15 trains went out daily
in 15 directions, each train having
| some HO to 35 cars in the fixed and
| automatic make-up, and some 15 or
20 cars with the varying elements
of ammunition, medical supplies,
i clothing, etc., dependent on the
! proximity to the fighting.
