chlna,a "Eour Diamonds"

There are In China four powerful
men, known as the Four Diamonds
who are credited with being actively
pro-Japanese, and at the head of the
Chinese pro-Japanese political activi-
ties. These men are Tsao Ju Ling,
former minister of foreign affairs and
former minister of communications |;
Chang Hsiang, former minister of JUS
tice and former minister to Japan from
China, the first cabinet minister ever
sent to Japan in diplomatic capacity
and the leading japanese scholar of
China; Lu Chung Yu, former minis
ter from China to Japan; and Wang !
Tang, former minister of the interior.
The Four Diamonds are generally re-
garded as the instruments with which
Japan was working in this most am
bilious plan to impress the will of ia
pan on China and create a situation
that would allow Japan to intervene
in China, with some show of reason
other than apparent aggrandizement.-

Paris Presents
Various Designs

New York.-This is vastly exciting
time in the fashion zone. 1t Is not
alone exciting because women want
new clothes for n new season, but for
the more important reason that COM
merce In this country Is entirely en-
tangled In the industry Of clothes.
A question as to what will be worn
is supposed to concern itself with wom-
ans vanity. Never was there such a
foolish conclusion. The question Of
what will be worn is lnextricably
mixed up with the lives of millions
of industrial workers In this country,
and upon its judlclous adjustment de-
pend the bread and butter, the happi-
ness and the ability to be free from
nervous depression of thousands of
men too old or too young to fight and
thousands of women who have not the
leisure to offer their services to war
relief.
1t Is a curious thing that the woman
who wants to know, even through an
assumed Indifference, whether her coat
and skirts are In fashion, should be so
densely ignorant of the vast ramifica-
lions of fashions into the innermost
recesses of American life.
No one laughs Mt fashions in Paris.
No one takes them lightly. Every one
regards them as supreme branch of
French industry that brings welfare
to millions. Each artist takes his or
her designs for new clothes under seri-
Gus consideration and the state &C
cords them the merit or demerit that
they deserve.
Now, what have these great de-
signers done for America this season
That is the leading question among the

SENDING BACK INFORMATION
FROM PATROLS.

Patrol work calls for the exercise Of
more faculties perhaps than any other
form of duty. Not only the young SOL
dier'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 hill is to be passed over, the
region beyond should first be observed
by one man; in the same way, houses
or Enclosures should be approached by
a single man or avoided entirely. This
for the reason that one man Is dis
tinctly less likely to be seen than the
patrol as whole, but what is more to
the point, the guard, encountering dan
ger, would be able to warn the main
body before 1t fell into trap. Woods
should generally be reconnoitered in @
thin skirmish line. This serves as q
big rake, of which each man Is q
tooth, for combing the thicket.
Patrol leaders, and the men as we'll
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 avail
able.
Patrol leaders should send back i'm
portant information as soon as 1t Is
gained unless the patrol itself Is to re
turn at once. In any case, 1t is the
duty of the leader to send reports tc
his commander with sufficient fire.
quency to keep the commander in
formed as to his whereabouts and what
he is accomplishing.
The information, If written, should
be signed by the leader. and should
The Jasper news., 1917-09-27

state the place, date, hour and minute
of Its dispatch. II this does not seem
requisite to the young soldier, 1t must
at all times be borne in mind that the
commander Is continually receiving In
formation from other sources-other
patrols, probably, and that he assem-
bles and pieces together all that he OBJ
tains. The hour and minute when the
information was gained may furnish
the commander with clue to whole
series of other facts which have been
reported before, but which he was I'M
able to interpret.
AS simple illustration Of the neces-
sity of the time element, 1t will be
seen that If troop of cavalry Is re-
ported at a certain spot at a certain
hour by one patrol and troop three
miles up the road is reported by an
other patrol moving In the same d.
rection, the only way In which the
commander might know whether or not
1t was the same troop Is by the time.
If the reports of the two troops are
timed, say, half an hour apart, the
commander concludes that it Is the
same troop; If they are timed within
ten minutes Of each other, he naturally
concludes that two distinct troops are
approaching.

In direct contrast to these short, brill
liant Slavic clothes, she has put out
a most dignif1ed evening gown. The
skirt Is quite long, but without train,
and the belt is nearly over the hip
line. The top part of the skirt has
the tightness Of the days of the Renais-
sance, and judging by the many things
that Lanvin is doing, as well as other
French dressmakers, 1t looks as though
the loose blouse In any form will soon
belong to day that is done.
This is not startling news to the
American woman because the smartly
dressed young women have been
adopting the tight bodice and the long,
tight sleeves In their summer clothes,
even making them of Bingham and
especially of Jersey cloth.
Lanvln also exploits the large waist
coat in various materials, to be worn
under coat suit and to serve as a
blouse or jerkin when the coat is re-
moved.
The hats she produces with these
gowns are often small of brim. She
clings to the Russian effect, but she
has introduced small edition Of the
Continental worn by Lafayette and

its manner of weaving.
Poiret uses an unusual amount of
black and white and brings back
quantities of black and white Jet Law
ishly arranged on frocks with Slavic

His evening gowns feature the high

sponsored. His wife, beautiful woman
who wore his clothes better than any
one else, always adopted the evening
gown which showed only two or more
inches of the neck and dropped In a

There have been so many things In

beyond the fact that one Is woman
and one Ia man.

The leader of patrol, usually cor
poral II it consists of squad or less,
must be specially chosen. And the
more important the work, the more
careful the selection. The leader must
be skilled in the methods Of covering
large areas with few men; he must
be able to report the strength and
character of hostile forces, deduce
their probable intentions, and report
intelligently to his commanding officer.
Endurance, courage and good Judgment
nre requisites Of the patrol leader.
His judgment will be called constant
ly into play, in order to read indica-
lions and pass upon the significance Of
the information Mt hand. He should be
capable of seeing a connection between
apparently irrelevant facts and formu-
lating his reports accordingly.
Before setting out, however, the pa
troll leader should be given such infor-
:. nation Of the enemy and country as
may be of value to him-the general
location Of his own forces, and par
ticularly those with whom he may come
in contact From this it will be seen
lhut iiic pullbl SuuS u
basis upon which to interpret the in
formation he gains.
When possible, the patrol leader
should have map of the country he
is to traverse-in many cases the route
specifled-and he should have COM
pass, watch, pencil and notebook
When practicable, he should take with
him field message blanks. He carries,
of course, his arms and ammunition.
When the patrol leader assemblies
the men detailed for the patrol, he
makes sure of several things: That
their arms and ammunition are in a
suitable condition for duty; that none
has any papers or maps which would
be of value to the enemy If captured !;
that their accoutrements do not glisten
or rattle as they move. He then re-
peats his instructions and explains
them until he is satisfied that every
man understands them; he also re-
> hearses with the men the signals which
are to be used; and designates a man
to take his place If he should be dis
abled.
The formation of the patrol will de-
pend upon the nature Of the country
and the character of the cover-the
formation best suited to the needs of
the case will be determined by the
leader. But at all events, the forma-
tion must be so regulated as to insure
80 nearly as possible, the escape Of one
man If the patrol is Jumped" by a
superior force.
Generally speaking, 1t will consist
of main body with advance, rear and
flank guards, though each of the guards
be represented only by single man
1t can be seen, however, that this
would be an easy formation for a pa
troll as small as squad to assume
since, beside the guards, it would al
low for a main body Of the corpora
and three men.
! With a small patrol-as small, in
deed, as four or five men-the distance
between the men may not be more thar
from 25 to so yards. With larger pa
troll, they may be as great as 100 yards
The reason for this variation Is boil
that a smaller force must, in the na
ture of things, remain closer together
and that the guards at 100 yards woul,
have far more difficulty in keeping II
sight two or three men than a large
force.

masses do not know what each de-

Poiret is always important; there

he does. He has genius for fabrics.
He knows the art of weaving and dye

THE OUTPOST.

Patrols are by no means sufficient to
guarantee the security of a force In
hostile territory, or in the proximity
of an enemy in friendly territory.
Every camp or bivouac should be pro-
tected by covering detachments known
as outposts, although it Is true that an
outpost may also exercise the functions
of patrol and become an outpost pa
troll.
The size and disposition of an out
post will depend upon number of fac
tors, including the size of the whole
command, the proximity Of the enemy,
the particular situation with respect to
the enemy, and the nature of the ter
rain.
Outposts may vary in strength from
very small fraction to one-third of
the entire force. The principle to be
kept in mind Is that outposts, like pa
trolls, should be no stronger than is es-
sential to the work in hand; but they
should at least always be sufficiently
large to insure reasonable security. A
few sentinels and patrols will usually
answer for a single company, but for
large command, more elaborate sys-
tenn of outposts must be established.
The supreme duty of an outpost is to
prevent surprise and prevent an attack
upon the camp before the troops are
prepared to resist. For camp to be
Jumped" in the colloquial language
of the army, Is an offense on the part
of the commander which Is neither to
be explained nor eXtenuated. This does
not mean that a camp or bivouac may
not be overwhelmed with a sudden at
tack by an enemy force, but at least
the command should have sufficient
warning from Its outposts to make an
organized show of resistance.
The outpost patrol Is used to keep
in close contact with the enemy, and
this has been found to be the most
economical form of protection, since, II
the commander is kept constantly ad-
vised of the whereabouts of the enemy,
1t will be unnecessary for him to make
use of as elaborate a system of out
posts to guard against surprise. Never
theless, he should always err on the
side of caution in the matter Of the
protection Of his camp.
Outposts should be composed Of COM
plete organizations. Discipline and
morale can be better maintained in q
full squad, for example, and one which
is accustomed to drilling together, than
with detachment, say, of six or ter
men. If more than one squad is re
quired at any point, two squads are
preferable to one squad and a half.
Troops on outposts keep themselves
concealed as much as is consistent
with the performance of their duties
Especially, they avoid appearing on the
skyline, for this would render to the
enemy clear silhouette of their move
ments. The skyline, indeed, is a back
ground which brings out figure more
distinctly than any other-even thu
olive drab uniform does not escape thu
eye, since it Is the outline and not thu
color which Is distinguishable.
Troops on outposts do not rende
honors. 1t is assumed that their at
tention is completely occupied in keep
ing upon the lookout.
