TMERICANS IN FRANCE.
Tours, Central France, Sept. 1—
(Correspondence of The Associated
Press)—Along the railway routes and
the great national highways of France
one sees mile after mile of the new
telegraph and telephone lines set up
by the American army, with squads of
linemen in khaki stringing the wires
and laying out new lines. The tele
graph offices all through the war
zones are crowded with khaki-uni
formed operators and a personnel of
American officers and enlisted men.
It is one of the extensive systems
suddenly installed on a huge scale
with the coming of the Americans,
spreading a vast wire network over
all France and realizing government
operation of telegraph and telephones
on foreign soil even before it was un
der way on home soil.
This military nerve system is not
alone telegraph and telephone lines,
but cable lines across the channel so
that American headquarters in
France can be in immediate inter
course with American officials in Lon
don; wireless receiving and sending
plants for detecting enemy exchanges
and carrying on our own radio work;
couriers and dispatch riders; weath
er observers to warn when storms
may impede military operations and
all those modern methods of rapid
communication which have become in
dispensable to warfare.
It is a complete linking together of
the army front and rear, headquar
ters, staff and line, keeping the com
_ . .11 l
manning onicers in cunauun wuui
with every division and every other
branch in the huge field of operations.
The movement of troops and the ac
tual fighting of battles are largely
dependent on this highly developed
army communication, which not only
joins our own army but keeps up the
liason of a vast united command.
It is something over 500 miles
from the French coast to the battle
line in eastern France, and through
out this distance there is a ompletc
system of 10 and 20-wire American
telegraph lines, linking the seaports
with the front and also spreading
through the vast ramification of ware
houses, camps, hospitals, construc
tion shops and military establish
ments of all sort extending from the
ports inland to the firing line.
There is another multiple line run
ning southward toward the Mediter
ranean and over to the Spanish fron
tier.
These are the trunk lines, extend
ing clear across France and, besides
these main arteries, every division
and branch of the army has its own
telegraph and telephone lines keeping
up constant intercouurse with head
quarters. In every area occupied by
the army along the front a complete
system of lines runs back to switch

On the frst day of the big battle
above Chateau-Thierry when the
Americans began their famous drive,
there were 27,000 messages averaging
over 60 words each—all the way from
an extended report on an operation
to a short sharp order or some new
move in the swiftly-moving drama.
Within six weeks, since the Ameri
cans had got into action, the commun
ication between front and rear had
quadrupled, and six weeks ago had
quadrupled over the service on April
1 when the American activities were
beginning to get in motion.
I The culmination of the great battle
late in July stirred into intense ac
tivty every branch of communeation,
with orders flying to hospitals, sup
ply centers, ordanance works, and to
the trading and rest camps for the
steady movement forward of fresh
troops.
