SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE.—If
the average American army chauf
feur were asked “What is the big
gest nuisance in France?” he would
in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred
reply with the greatest promptness, I
! “The grade crossing.”
There are thousands of grade
| crossings on every railway in France,
and every one of them is protected j
| by a set of gates, which drop into |
| position long before a train gets 1
J near the spot, and apparently remain j
] there long after the train has passed, j
: Many an army cnauffeur, taking,
! his fill of speed along a straight, j
tree-lined “national road”, has found]
; his way suddenly barred by an ag-1
i gravating pair of crossing gates. The 1
i
war trains of Franc.e are long and;
heavy laden, and seem to take an ;
! interminable time in passing the <
] given point.
j But after the American becomes ]
reconciled to these delays, he begins ;
1 to find the passing trains an inter- j
esting study. The traffic which \
they carry is always a picture of |
j wartime activity which the Ameri-1
] can particularly takes a delight in !
analyzing.
Ponderous, groaning ammunition
trains, with two giant locomotives [
hissing at every joint, lumber along,
with food for the ravenous guns 1
! Supply trains rattle past, carrying
with unfailing regularity the soldiers’
daily bread. Reinforcement trains
are crammed to overflowing with
smiting Tommies or bronzed and war
' worn poilus, sitting on foot boards,
j sometimes clustered on the roof, for
the travelling soldier of everv na
I
tionality has a contempt for railway
by-laws and regulations.
Then there are the trains coming
back from the battlefield, carrying
the wreckage of war, often battle
scarred themslves. Occasionally a
flat-car grunting under the weight
1 of a disabled cannon and muddy,1
shell-shattered lorries, wagons, field 1
kitchens, and the like, and now and
then an ambulance train with its j
bandaged passengers and ministering ;
nurses.
The French crossing gates usually
run back and forth on wheels. It
is usually a woman who opens and
closes them. Sometimes an old!
woman and sometimes a young one. |
She has a little box-house at the j
side of the track, with sometimes!
a baby in a cradle to occupy her
leisure time. Always she has a
smile and a quick word of greeting
for the importunate motorist.
