Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Engineers Behind the Battle Lines in France Last December when Mr. Tomlin, formerly managing editor of Engineering News-Record, went to France as war correspondent of the McGraw-Hill engineering publications, he went as a pioneer. No other technical publication in this country was similarly represented at the front, and though he went armed with letters of introduction and the authority of our War Department to get and print whatever the British and French censors deemed proper, there was no certainty that the busy officers directing the great engineering programs would have tune to tell him their stories, or that the censors would permit him to publish them. Mr. Tomlin writes in glowing terms, however, of the full cooperation he has had from officers and censors. Everywhere he has been shown over the work and been given as much information as could be consistently done - and everywhere there has been appreciation of the journalistic need for prompt attention. The first articles, of course, were largely general. The work was just being organized. The first, second and fourth articles are confined to the organization of road building, railway yard and terminal development, and light railway construction, and an outline of some of the problems to be solved, and the third, also in the general preliminary class, relates to the inspection of French quarries by American engineers. In the fifth we first see the engineers actually on construction, in the varied activities of the railway regiment. In the remaining articles, with the exception of that on "Water-supply at the Front in France," which again tells only of the organization and the general problems - we also get details. Besides the views of road building and the light railways at close range, supplementing the first and fourth articles, we have an article on the industrial problems at a shrapnel plant, one on map-making in air and on the ground, one on the construction of an advance depot and two on the work of the army engineer school - which is far in advance of anything of the kind in this country before this year. The articles are here gathered together in book form because of the great interest they have aroused, and the assistance they have rendered army officers engaged in this country in training men for the front.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Engineers in France This book is not intended to be a history or detailed account of the work done by American Engineers in France. Their work was so extensive and so varied as to put the writing of its record beyond the powers of one man, for none could know it all. It is hoped that some day the record will be properly set forth in justice to the men and for the honor of the profession, but it will be of necessity the joint product of several collaborating authors. The first contribution that America made to the Allied cause was the raising of nine regiments of engineers, with one of which the author served. It is their work that is the motif of this book. In the writing, it has been necessary to touch on all the fields of engineer activity, because these regiments came in contact with every field, even if they did not invade each one, from constructing ports to digging and holding trenches, in all parts of France from the Atlantic to the Vosges, from the Mediterranean to Flanders. Consequently there results a brief outline of what all engineers did. Perhaps, it may serve to give those who did not go overseas a picture of what is meant by engineering in modern war. There will not be found any description of spectacular or dazzling pieces of construction like so many structures in civil works that arouse admiration. There was none such. Military engineering consists in doing things in the simplest and quickest way, where permanency in character and accuracy in execution yield to the imperious demands for results that are immediately available regardless of all other considerations.
