could be called upon to patrol and pro-

been adopted in New York. A volun-
teer civilian police corps. in which over
1000 have been thus far enlisted, is
being formed by the police commits

corps ready to jump into action and
take the place Of the regular police

other emergency should. result in all

Thus far the principal work Of enlist

it is intended to extend the idea to the
other boroughs Of the city.
The idea Of tho organization is that
tho volunteer members Of the reserve
force shall have no duties or privileges
unless specially called out. At other
times they are only ordinary citizens.
In case Of emergency. however. they
shall be called and sworn in rs special
policemen to patrol the beats and take
