There never was a time in ths h's- tory of this or any other nation when theré was no need for trained lead- ers. The world could never 2ad- vence very far without leadership.

It is to be hoped that some man.of like calibre is named, some one who will rise above the level of petty politics and devote his time and attention to a betterment of the police depart- ment.

Those Eligible For Service n America’s ‘New Legions, Patrol work calls for the exercise of more faculties perhaps than any other form of.duty. Not only the Yyoung soldier's muscles, but his head also must be exceedingly active. He has many things to remember, much to watch out for, and must be able to transmit such pieces of information as he gains. The: country must be carefully observed. ‘When a hill is to be passed over, the region beyond should first be ob- served by one man; in the same way, houses or enclosures should be ap- proached by a single man or avoided entirely. . This for the reason that one man is distinctly less likely to ‘be seen than the patrol as a whole, but what is more to the point, the guard, encountering danger, would be able to warn the main body before it fell into a trap. Woods should generally be reconnoitered in a thin skirmish line. This serves as a big rake, of which each man is a tooth, for combing the thicket. Patrol leaders, and,the men as well, should know the uniforms, guidons and other insignia of the enemy. This will help in determining the class of troops. sighted when no other means are available. Patrol leaders should send back important information as soon as it is gained unless the patrol itself is to return at once. In any case, it is the duty of the leadqr to send reports to his commander with sufficient frequency to kun the commander in- _A. P, DIVISION CHIEF DEAD. Arthur W. Copp Sailed on First ! Armed American Liner. ‘Washington, June 12.—Arthur W. Capp, superintendent of the south- ern division of The Associated Press. died here today of. a complication .of diseases after a lingering iliness. He was 49 years old. Before coming to Wuhlnnon Mr. Copp had been superintendent of tne western division at San Francisco and before that had served the Asso- clated Press in many places and in maqy capacities. Entering the serv- ice as a telegrapher nearly 256 vears ago, he had risen to superintendent- of division. e Mf. Copp's last work was perhaps as he might have wished it, for when & volunteer was called to sail on the American liner St. Louis as the first rmed American ship to cross the submarine zone, he responded -and made the perilous voyage for the Asgociated Press. The nervous strain probably added to the precariousness of his conditon, the seriousness of which then was unknown to others. Soon after he returned to America he was taken to a hospital. Twenty years before, as an Asso- clated Press correspondent, he had served in Cuba during the Spanish- American war. Mr. Copp was born in Madison, ‘Wis., where he will be buried. Hs was unmarried.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, John A. Johnson of New Haven and Miss Severina Danielson of this city will be married at the home of the bride. In the evening at 7 o’clock Henry Roland Armstedt, also of New Haven and Miss Nellie Carlson of 54 Sunrise avenue, this city, will be married at the bride’s home. They will make their hcme in New Haven. Rev. 0ld Fogy Georgia. (Campbeliton correspondence Camp- i bell News.)

The information if written, should be signed by the leader, and should state the place, date, hour and minute of its dispatch. If this does not seem requisite to the young soldier, it must at all times be borne in mind that'! the commander is continually:receiv. ing information from other sources— other patrols probably, an assembles and pieces together ai) that he ‘obtains. The hour and minute when the information” was gained may furnish the commander with a clue to a whole series of other facts which have been reported before, but which he was unable to interpret. As a simple illustration of the necessity of the time element, it will ‘be seen that if a troop of cavalry is reported at a certain spot ‘at & certain | hour by one patrol and a troop three miles up the road is reported bY another patrol moving in the same direction, the only way in which the commander might know whether or not it was the same troop is by the time. /If the reports of the two troops are timed, say, half an hour apart, the commander conclude that it is the same troop; if they are timed within ten minutes of each other, he natural- ly. conclude thay, two distinct troops are approaching.
