The battles' of the Yser and Ypres weird, in the' first instance, won French railroads; and though the Ger-j lines possessed certain initial ad-: vantages over them they have held their own throughout the' Watfy says an officer closely concerned in the mobilisation, concentration and disposal of the French troops. “The Germans have had the advantage of distance, 1 ; since the line took the form of a tri-| angle- inside that triangle their, points! of concentration are hearer to'the Yser| or any other part "of the front tban[ the Allies’; spiipentratioa points oh thfej other side, where it is necessary to[ turn the- -angle* instead’Of go ingTiiside of it.” It appears that Jbffre foresaw the German flanking movement towards' Calais during the last days of the battle of the Marne, and began sending troops to parry it as early as September Bth. Between that date and the beginning of October, 800 trains carried 17 army corps and three divisions of cavalry northwards. A review of the military operations, beginning with the mobilisation, shows that the railroads of France have accomplished everything that wag expected of them, contrary to the experience of 1870. The relative calm along the front itself at certain periods brings no rest to the railroads. From February to August, 1915, 3,430 troop trains were run, while the average of supply trains was | 131 a day; at the same time there were ! 222 ambulance trains in service. Besides assuring the transport of troops, the railroads have since the war added 2000 miles of regular gau|ae and 40 miles of narrow gauge track to their stragetic lines, and largely transformed 15 military stations.
