28 blocked by several engines that had been sent against each other at full speed. The telegraph and telephone wires had been cut down and the installations for these at the railway stations made useless. Besides this, the rails in Belgium for the most part appeared very neglected, being defective or badly connected. The switches broke more than once under the weight of our locomotives. It was here the engineers proved their worth, what they accomplished borders on the incredible, in securing supplies of ammunition and rations for the advancing army. Often long military trains had to be taken across, when one rail had been made free and some subofficers with a few men supervised the work. For instance, no German machines had gone beyond Liittich towards the West before the first train with German troops that were to bring reinforcements to the troops fighting near Brussels, ran into the station en route for Lôwen. The line had just been put in order, at least one rail, railway officials were conspicuous by their absence, and the telephone and telegraph connections between the stations had not yet been reestablished. In spite of all this, train after train advanced towards Lôwen and the empty ones returned the same way. Although the trains were shot at from the houses and innumerable cowardly attempts were directed against the railway by a crazy population, still the troops came up in time and were able to assist in achieving a decisive victory. Step for step the lines were repaired and traffic taken up again. On 1st September, the military railway directors moved into Brussels, and at the end of October, they advanced to Lille. In Liittich and Brussels, newly-formed line commands had been appointed in their stead. In the south, the second military railway administration was sent to Ulfingen on 20th August, proceeding on 25th, to Libramont and on 4th September to Sedan. A newly formed line-command followed as far as Luxemburg. The territories governed by both these military administrations so increased in time, that a third had to be erected with its base in Charleroi. On the eastern theatre of war an administration was erected in Lodz for the occupied territory in Russian-Poland. All these administi ations are under military onganization. The traffic is carried out by soldiers directly behind the front and further back, by men sent by the German railway authorities. The building activity of the engineers was directed principally during the first months of the war to the reconstruction of the railways that had been damaged, so as to ensure speedy railconnections for military purposes. In the following months, these railway connections had to be improved so as to produce the best possible results. New lines had to be laid down wherever the military conditions required them, or where our railways were not continued in the captured territory. Owing to the unfavourable local conditions and the condition of the roads owing to the wet winter, it was necessary to build a
