THE PART PLAYED BY RAIL- 
WAYS IN MODERN WARFARE 
(Continued from page xi) 
army. English railwaymen are today in France assisting 
the French railway engineers to repair the destroyed sections 
of railways. During the South African War all temporary 
repairs in the Cape Colony, Transvaal, and Orange River 
Colony were carried out, with a few exceptions, by the 
military railway staff. From the outbreak of hostilities until 
October 31, 1900, these temporary repairs included the 
restoration of 75 bridges, 94 culverts, arid 27 miles of line. 
In the general advance from Bloemfontein to Johannesburg 
— a distance of 265 miles — the following temporary repairs 
were executed between May 3 and June 11, 1900 : 27 bridges, 
41 culverts, ro miles of line, including 7 deviations, varying 
in length from 200 yards to 2 miles. 
The German railways have been the cheapest to construct, 
owing to natural advantages. There are very few tunnels in 
Germany, and for the greater part the railways pass through 
flat country. The great bridges over the Rhine — especially 
the new one at Cologne — are of very great strategic value, 
but once an invading army is on German soil it will be 
difficult to destroy railway communication effectively to 
retard the invading forces. 
The importance of railways in an offensive is, of course, 
that with their aid troops can be concentrated rapidly at the 
precise moment at the right spot. Von Hindenburg's victory 
at Tannenberg at the end of August was a railway victory, as 
by means of his dense railway net he was capable of concen- 
trating in a very short time a superior number of troops 
before the Russians could obtain reinforcements. 
The working out of railway time tables for use during 
mobilisation must be done in time of peace. The number of 
carriages, horse boxes, and other vehicles required must be 
carefully ascertained, wlile the formation of each train must 
be decided upon, and its destination, starting point, running 
time, etc., must be worked out. Careful arrangements must 
be made for the running of troop trains on single lines, so 
that little time is lost at crossing points, while the running of 
trains must be so arranged that no congestion is caused at 
stations, as this might cause serious trouble. Such congestion 
occurred during the opening stages of the Russo-Japanese 
War on the Trans-Siberian Railway, and hampered the 
railway transport considerably. Attention must also be paid 
to the return of empty trains.. 
To give some idea of the work the railways are accom- 
plishing we will assume that the total number of combatants 
engaged in France and Belgium amount to some 4,000,000 
men. In order to supply this number of combatants some 
87,000 tons of food and material are required each week for 
the bare maintenance of men and horses. The transport of 
ammunition is also of great importance, as in the course of a 
single day some hundreds of tons of rifle ammunition are 
consumed, while some of the heavy howitzers will consume 
each from 5 to 10 tons of ammunition per day. All this 
material is brought by railways from the base to the rail-head 
— that is, where the railway stops for military purposes — 
and from here it is distributed by motor transport along the 
fighting line. Motor transport "has greatly facilitated the 
distribution of food, ammunition, and war material from 
rail-head to the front. The main accumulation of stores at 
the base and the stock at rail-head at any moment consists 
only of sufficient quantities to meet one day's requirements.
