GEN. ATTERBURY
TELLS OF WORK
BEHIND FRONT
Lauds Spirit of the Men W ho
Toiled in Transporta
tion Service
The achievements of the I nited
iStates transportation service in
France were praised yesterday by
Brigadier General William W. At
terbury, who reached his home in
Badnor after nearly two years Bcn '"
ice in France. His staff officers, all
from Philadelphia, returned with
him. . , . -
He returns with the Legion of
Honor medal which was awarded
him for services in France, the Dis
tinguished Service Medal, a warden
bv the American Expeditionary
Force, and the Honorable Order of
the Companions of the Bath given b>
the British government. The General
gave the following outline of his
work overseas:
"The transportation problem that
confronted the American expedi
tionary forces, briefly and generally
stated, was as follows:
"First. Ports—lt was perfectly
clear from the very outset that, to
take care of the tonnage the A. L. ' •
would bring into France, it would
be necessary to utilize to the maxi
mum every berthage accommoda
tion not already in use by the French
or the British that was available or
that could be made available, and
that beyond and additional to all of
this, it would also be necessary to
provide new port facilities
"It was with this understanding or
the situation that, in conjunction
with extensive Improvements made,
at existing ports in France the splen- |
did dock project at what 5? 1 * .
American Basson*. Just outside of
Bordeaux, was undertaken and ca
ricd out to completion Here
erected out of the mud bank of the
Garonne river a modern ten-berth
dock, which was equipped with
forty electric gantry cranes Tbl
project constitutes one of the dis
tinctive achievements of the A. r-
Second?' Personnel —At the time |
America went into the war the sit- ]
nation on the French railroads in
the matter of transportation person- j
pel was becoming serious. This wa
due to the fact that by reason of
the war, there existed no source of
supply from which could be
ed an adequate number of suitab e;
employes to meet the constant needs
of the railroads, the strain of three |
vears of work under war conditions
was telling on the men and. con
sequently. tho caliber of the Person- ,
pel on an average was not so hi o li
a as in peace times. _ .
"The plan of the A. E. F. was to
provide transportation forces com-
W piensurate with the added burden
r that the traffic of the A. E. F. placed
upon the French railroads, and in j
addition, to provide such supple-'
mental forces in the way of car and
locomotive repairmen, maintenance
of wav men. etc.. as could be brought
over from the States consistent with
the requirements of the combatant
troop program.
Equipment Also Furnished
"Third, Equipment—Likewise in
the line of railroad equipment the
French had reached a rather serious
stage when the Americans began to
arrive in France. A considerable per
centage of the Allied equipment had
been captured by the Germans in the
big drive at the beginning of the
war. and in the stress of warfare it,
bad been impossible for them to give
their locomotives and cars the at
fntion they should have received, I
with the result that an excessive
number of bad order cars and loco- 1
motives had accummuiated.
'•One of the first steps taken on j
behalf of tho A. E. F. was to ar
range for the shipment to France
of experienced car and locomotive
repair forces to restore this bad
order equipment to working condi
tion.
Largest Yards In World
"It would be diffieult for one who
has not gone over the army develop
ments in France to get a reasonable
idea of their scope, and this is par
ticularly applicable in the case of
these yards. Several of them are the
largest in tho world and in general
they represent the last word in mod
ern yard construction. The plans
for the development at Gievres call
ed for 264 miles of track. 1152 turn
outs, 4,410,000 square feet of covered
storage and t10,357,000 square feet
of open storage. At the time cf the
armistice 132 miles of track, 3,552.-
000 square feet of covered storage
and 6.000,000 square feet of open
storage had been completed. The
project covers an area of 2.600 acres.
Transportation Corps Praised
"I cannot speak too highly of the
work of our transportation men in
France. No body of men worked
harder or more industriously, and
no body of men is entitled to greater
credit. .
"In the corps we had some of the

MONDAY EVENING,
leading rnlhoad and shipping men
of America. Those men came, to
Franco at great personal sacrlltco
and in the development of the or
ganization of tho corps worked niore
strenuously than they had ever done
beforo in their lives. 1 have never
seen a more hearty spirit of co
operation than that manifested by
those officers in the carrying out of
assignments that fell to their lot in
the army life, and there is nothing
of which I am more proud than to
have been associated with them in
the work in France.
"At tho same time arrangements
were made for a car-erecting plant
at Laßochelle. to take care of cars
coming in in a knocked-down con
dition from the States, and for a loco
motive-erecting plant at St. Nazaire
to take care of knocked-down loco
motives arriving at that port.
"In addition, the plan was devel
oped of having locomotives sent to
us from the United States in a prac
tically .completed state on special
ships, thus involving but little work
in assembling when they reached us,
and, what was much more Inyiortant,
relieving the port of St. Nazaire to
that extent, as we could take care of
the partially erected locomotives at
Brest.
"To give an idea of what the pro
gram to have 4.000.000 men in France
by the summer of 1919 meant, so far
as cars and locomotives are concern
ed, it may be stated that we were
arranging to have in France by that
time 4.000 locomotives and 98,000
cars.
"To supply an army of that size,
we were planning for the reception
and discharge of 101,000-tons of car
go per day at the ports.
"The condition of the French rail
roads when I reached France in Sep
tember. 1917. was surprisingly good,
considering the fact that they had
been operating more than three years
under war conditions, that no new
rail had been laid within that time,
and that the force they had been
able to keep on maintenance of way
was practically negligible.
Koail* in Good Condition
"For the manner in which the
French railroads met the require
ments of the Allied armies, I have
nothing but the highest commenda
tion. At no time was there the semb
lance of a breakdown in the trans
portation machinery of the country,
despite the great overload placed
upon it. and the results achieved are
a splendid tribute to the efforts of
the French transportation authori
ties.
"It is. of course, to be understood
that to take care of the shipments
of the A. E. F. into France it was
necessary 1° expand the capacity of
the French railroads to meet the
needs. This meant the planning and
construction of immense 3tor*igre
yards, the providing of additional
engine houses, the laying of supple
mental tracks, the rearranging acd
extension of existing tracks, and. in
general, everything that goes into
the enlargement and expansion of a
railroad to meet greater needs.
"Behind each of the main ports
we had stupendous storage layouts;
then we had what we called our in
termediate storage about midway
between the ports and the army zone
—and then came our storage devel
opments in the advance section.

sight as the result of osteopathic treat
ment after hating been blinded during
the war and suffering for two years.
The osteopaths are bitterly disappoint
ed that President Wilson did not grant
them the right to practice in the Army

they could have saved thousands of
soldiers whose condition made them
particularly responsive to osteopathic
treatment.

Marysville increased her lead in
the Dauphin-Perry League on Satur
day by winning on the Seidel Park
field at Marysville by a 5-0 score,
while Newport was losing to Dun
cannon on the Marshall Field at
Newport by a 9-7, score. Duncannon.
Newport and Millersburg are tied
with one victory and two defeats.
Marysville jumped into the lead in
the third round after Lightner had
singled, stole several bases and man
aged to come home on an inlieid out.
The score continued close until the
sixth round when Marysville again
tallied and scored additional runs in
each of the remaining innings.
The base-running of F. Lightner
featured for Marysville. Four bases
were stolen by ihe nimble footed
outfielder. In the seventh he was
safe on an infield out, stole accord,
went to third on an infield out and
electrified the crowd by stealing
home while Kline was shooting the
ball to Frye behind the bat.
Both teams played good ball
throughout the game, but Marysville
managed to touch up "Ike" Kline at
opportune moments, while Harry
Biever kept the half dozen Millers- !
burg swats well scattered. Every
player on the Marysville team, with
the exception of Sanders, a young
ster, managed to garner at least one
safety off Kline's delivery.
The Newport-Duncannon contest
at Newport was a real Swatfest, with
a total of 22 safeties being recorded.
5 of which went for the circuit. Dun
cannon swatters clubbed three drives
over the fence while Newport man- |
aged to send two across. All Iguros j
largely in the scoring.
Norman Ford, with four safeties,
one of them a four-sacker, featured
the game and was largely responsi
ble for the Duncannon victory. He
scored two runs himself and enough
other men were sent across the plat
ter by his stick work to land the ba
con for Duncannon.
Earl Walts was on the mound for
Duncannon and held the Newport
swatters comparatively safe until
the eighth inning when he appeared
to weaken. "Buck" Ramsey was
sent to the mound to finish up that
inning and prevented any trouble,
but in the ninth the Newport men
got to his delivery for two runs.
"Lefty" Wertz. on the mound for
Newport, was not at his best, after
his gruelling battle with Millers
burg on the preceding day. The
Duncannon team got to his delivery
for three runs in the first round and
he was soon forced to retire. Rowe
and Manning, who succeeded him,
had little that worried Duncannon. !

stale. Dempsey probably will drop
all work with the gloves after to
day and Kearns may take him out
of town on a motor trip to get his
mind off the coming contest. Demp
sey, his trainers say, already is in
almost perfect condition.

Aviator Alcock Hopes
to Hop Off Saturday
St. Johns, N. F., June 2.—Cap
tain "Jack" Alcock, pilot of the
Vickers-Vimy plane entered for the
trans-Atlantic flight prize of $50,000
1 offered by the London Daily Mail,
announced to-day that he expected
to have his machine ready for a
trial flight next Thursday and hoped
to attempt the flight next Saturday
if weather conditions permitted.
Captain Alcock will begin prepara
tion to-morrow of his flying Held, but
other aviators here are skeptical as
to his chances of making the "big
hop" on Saturday owing to continued
rains which have soaked his field
and which offer no indications of
abating.
Vice-Admiral Mark Kerr, com
mander of the Handley-Page bomb
ing plane entered for the flight, will
return to Harbor Grave to-morrow
to continue preparations for his
flight, but he stated that wet weath
er probably would prevent htm from
making the attempt tor some time.
