It cannot hesitate to destroy a bridge because that bridge cost five hundred thousand dollars.

And it does not hesitate.
Motoring from Paris to the front these days is a question of avoiding roads rendered useless because a broken bridge has cut them in half.

All over France are these bridges of iron, of splendid masonry, some decorated with statues, some dating back hundreds of years, but now with a span blown out or entirely destroyed and sprawling in the river.

All of these material things--motor-cars, stone bridges, railroad-tracks, telegraph-lines--can be replaced.

Money can restore them.
