TOURS, France, May 18. (UP.— There was a stock question which used to be shouted from boxcars laden with American home-bound combat troop- passing through Tours, Bourges, Blois, Novels or Dijon on their way to the ports: “Who won the war,” one boxcar load of warriors would shout back to the next, and the reply inevitably
would be:
“The S.* O. S." The poor old “S. O. S.” was the butt of much ridicule, but even the lucky troops rushing home from the trenches knew that without the Service of Supplies of the A. E. F., they would not have had their cans of corned “willie,” their belts of bullets and the few comforts of home which
were theirs.
While one million Americans were fighting in or near the trenches, another million Americans were laboring back in the Tours area, the un-1 popular “S. O. S.”, wrestling bales ! of uniforms, despatching carloads of ! food and ammunition towards the 1 front, and seeing that* neither too ! much nor too little got to every |
railhead on time.

perhaps few of them ever saw an American soldier for they were tots in baby carriages ton years ago. The pride of the S. O. S. was the Salvage Depot at Saint Pierre des Corps, just outside of Tours. There the old clothes of the A. E. F. were reclaimed. After a doughboy passed over his breeches as good for nothing, they were shipped back to the Salvage Depot. There two or three pairs of breeches were cut and sewed together to make one, and the American army was that much to the good. Today that great salvage plant is owned by the Orleans Railroad. Tin

For hundreds of miles around Tours j | every town capable of billeting ev- | on a dozen troops became an Amer- ' ican army possession. Old buildings ! were torn down, and modern ware- ! house- sprung up in their places. The i face of that part of France was com- | pletely transformed.

Of Aomoratin, where the American

disappeared.
The 31st French regiment of Avi-

patriotic spectacle preceding the start
of the big race.
Moving Whiteman and his big musical organization around the two and one-half mile track on a rolling platform within eye and car range of the 150,000 iieuple who will be crowded into the speedway enclosure race day, is the most spectacular adjunct | to the contest the race managment ever has attempted. When the 1,500 piece band starts its march up the home stretch, Whitman’s organization will begin to roll the opposite direction of the track at a speed of five miles an hour, playing throughout the slow ride around the track. As soon as the 1,500 piece band completes its concert on the home stretch, the rolling platform will move, into place and Reinald Werrenrath wdll mount the stand and the accompaniment of Whitman's band will sing, “My Country ’tis of Thee”. Then the race will start. The parade of the 1,500 pie^e band, led by a color guard, moving to stirring marches and patriotic tunes, and Werrenrath’s solo accompanied by Whiteman’s hand probably will be the most impressive patriotic spectacle in the entire country on Decoration Day. Throughout the big speed plant, thousands of heads will be bared and there will be a moment of silence just before the start of the race. Whitman and his boys, enroute to California to make a talking motion picture, will arrive here the night before the race in a special train and will leave immediately after the contest. Werrenrath will arrive two days before the contest, having complete il a long concert tour. It will not be Whitman’s first ride around a speedway, hut his musical jaunt on May 30 will be much slower than his previous tour- of speed 1 tracks. He begun life as a racing mechanic, riding as a mechanic in many races before he took up jazz music as
a profession.
Frequently he has been a visitor at
