BIG ARMY BASE
BACK OF LINES
IS BUSY PEACE
Army Bate In Europe Present* a
Busy Scene, Preparing For
Action At Front.
BEHIND THE BRITISH LINES
IN FRANCE.—As “Headquarters"
is the brain of the army from which
' all orders emanate, so “The Base"
is in a very large measure the heart
when the blood circulates to the re
motest parts of the body.
A visit to a base shows that it
is something far bigger and more
comprehensive than a camp; it is
a district. Its center is a town oi
size and importance; a town whose
church spires and towers render it
1 visible from a long distance, while
its railways and street car line pre
sent a busy scene during all hours
of the day and night. There is a
large civilian population, carrying
on business as usual, though air
raids are frequent, and demolished
houses are constant reminders oi
ever present danger. The town hal!
has been badly ’amaged, and a shot
hole from a long range naval gur
can be seen in the tower.
In the streets of the town, people
of all five continents jostle each
other. There are the French, civi
1 ;lian and military; there are British
1 troops of all ranks and descriptions
I even the khaki-clad women of the
: Auxiliary Army Corps; there are
| Australians, Canadians, Americans
, Belgians, Chinese, East Indians anc
i African negroes. The latter make
' excellent transport drivers, while
' the Chinese are employed on ordin
' | ary labor of various kinds.
' | The sight of two Chinamen bath
’; ing in a small puddle in a busj
i square, using their soap by turns
and drying themselves on strips oi
rag with true oriental unconcerr
as to all that is going on arounc
them, is becoming familiar. Theii
i camp is some distance from the
town, and their nearest neighbors
j are the inhabitants of a German
I prisoner of war camp, who car
be seen daily at work in a leisurelj
manner on a military railway Theii
work in the open has tanned them
to an almost African brown and the
slender size of their guard suggests
that they are very well contented
; with their lot and not at all anxious
to attempt escape.
1 In the town itself can be seer
guns by the hundred, parked as
close as they can possibly be packed
Outside the town are other park;
of artillery and wagons and. dumps
of munitions and engineering ma
i terials. There are camps every
|j where—some for men waiting to gc
up the line, others for those wht
are employed more or less perman
ently at the base on transport anc
other duties. Hospitals are situatec
here, too, always on the sites mos
favorable for fresh air and sunlight
The quarters of the base command
ant, the base cashier, the ordnance
officer and other important official:
are situated in the town itself.
Notices in both French and Eng
. lish are posted everywhere abou
the place and polite military polic
are on duty at cross roads and othe
points of importance.

NEW UNLOADING
PLATFORM BEING
BUILT AT DOCK
To facilitate the loading and un
I loading of freight on and off the

i on the vacant space between ware
house No. 1 and warehouse No. 4.
i A large fore of carpenters and
helpers are busy on this work now
and it is expected that it will be
j completed in a few days. The plat
, form will be uncovered at present,

I checkers who will be engaged in the
l loading and unloading of freight.
J The tracks run along side of the
platform and the cars to be loaded
will be drawn up alongside of it.
It is in the immediate neighborhood
