Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Road to France I: The Transportation of Troops and Military Supplies, 1917-1918 Yet, while the forges and shops of the land were fighting their war manufacturing battles to ultimate triumph, our national genius for transportation rose superior to conditions and wrought the saving miracle of the struggle. It carried to France the two million men of the American Expeditionary Forces, together with such munitions and supplies as the grand strategy dictated. That achievement will probably forever stand as America's most signal contribution to the cause of the Entente and its associated nations.

A car loaded with tobacco in the old way contained a large empty space between the top of the layer of hogsheads and the roof of the car. On the suggestion of the Railroad Administration, the shippers adopted a shorter hogshead, and then it became possible to pack cars to the roof. The manufacturers had been shipping such things as scythes and grain cradles with the awkward crooked handles fastened at right angles to the blades. These and other agricultural implements they took apart and did up in compact bundles. The factories removed the handles from baby carriages and packed them in with the carriage bodies. They knocked down and compactly crated wagons, wheelbarrows, and other vehicles customarily shipped on their wheels. It had been railroad practice to ship such barreled goods as molasses, oils, and tanning extracts in single tiers within cars, because a heavy upper tier might crush the barrels underneath. Care in packing offset this danger by means of protecting layers of dunnage between the upper tier of barrels and the lower. These are but a few of scores of instances of the reform in car-loading. Major General Goethals, builder of the Panama Canal, was largely responsible for the success of army packing. Having been associated with the Emergency Fleet Corporation, he understood at first hand the crisis in ocean tonnage and the necessity of utilizing to its utmost capacity every cubic foot of cargo space afloat. When he became Acting Quartermaster General, he learned something about the army packing methods then in vogue--methods inherited from the easy-going past, when shipping space seemed to be almost as limitless as the air. One of General Goethals's first acts when, as director of Purchase, Storage, ..

Book excerpt: When the guns and the ammunition, the airplanes, the motor trucks, the general equipment, and the food and clothing of the American Army in the World War stood ready on the loading platforms of American factories and filled the army warehouses, the problem of sup- plying the American Expeditionary Forces with their necessi-ties was as yet by no means solved. Those materials had still to travel a route the sources of which touched every producing point within the United States, and of which the main artery crossed the Atlantic. This was a military supply situation of unprecedented difficulty. No nation had ever attempted to maintain a great army over suc: h a distance, nor was a line of supply ever so beset with peril.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Road to France, Vol. 2: The Transportation of Troops and Military Supplies, 1917-1918 Moreover, the shortage of coal was one of Europe's most acute embarrassments. Certainly England had no coal to spare for the bunkers of our transports. Therefore we could put into the A. E. F. Supply service neither cargo transport nor troop ship that could not carry sufficient coal for the round voyage. That consideration, too, ruled out the Philippine transports, not one of which could stow such an amount of fuel. When the first expeditionary force was assembling, then, the Govern ment was automatically forced to seek its transports from the peaceful ocean trades.
