This is a depot for railroad tracks on the Meuse. It Is one of numerous similar depots established by the French along the lines of march. Here there are stored thousands upon thousands of railroad sections laid on steel ties. As the French army advances it is % necessary to repair the railroad tracks which the Germans in their retreat have torn up. The sections are conveyed to the spot and almost in the twinkling of any eyelash the road is repaired. The efficiency of the French is almost beyond belief.
