1t is suggested that the companies

Army Police Regulations.
The police regulation of an army
post has somewhat a different inter-
probation from what it is generally
understood to convey in a civilian city
or village The police regulations of
Fort Shafter and all other reservations
used by the service of the govern.
ment are responsible under the various
organization commanders for the
cleanliness of the grounds adjacent to
their barracks.
Each company commander is
charged to provide his set of barracks
and each officer will provide his quar-
teTs with three garbage receptacles-
one for kitchen use, one for combusti-
Bile and the third receptacle for in
combustible material. These cans will
be kept covered at all times and refuse
will only be placed in such recepta-
cles.
The police squadron of an army post
has the proper collection of these
waste baskets in the form of a huge
tin can with tightly fitting top to
it, in charge. The police wagon that
makes the rounds of the reservation,
usually twice a day, collects and in
turn empties all of these receptacles.
Sometimes a number of military pris
oners are detailed, under guard, on
the police force and accompany the
post collection wagon in it's duty calls,
at the rear entrance to all the line
quarters. The general tidiness and
neat appearance of an army post, with
its well cut lawns, neatly trimmed line
walks and general attractiveness of a
garrison is mostly due and can very
safely be placed to the credit of the
police squad of that garrison.
Some agitators have and do hold
that the police duties are not in con-
formity with military rule and regula-
tiOns, and should not be included in
the duties of an enlisted man in the
service of the United States. But as
order is the first law of heaven and
cleanliness is said to be next to godli-
ness, the foundation and making of
good soldier would seem to be in the
discharge of military police duty. |
When sanitation and cleanliness are
attended to, then the enlisted man and |
officer can and are in a condition for
drills and army maneuvers.
Orders Regarding Children.
According to orders promulgated at |
the Kahauiki reservation no childrenI
will be permitted on the parade ground
during military ceremonies. And no
children will be allowed in the bar
