SELFHELPS for the
NEW SOLDIER
BY q United States Army Officer
THE PATROL LEADER.

The leader of n patrol, usually cor
poral If it consists of a 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 a 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
are requisites of the patrol leader.
His judgment will be called constant
ly into play, in order to read indica-
tons and pass upon the significance of
the information at hand. He should be
capable of seeing 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
that the patrol leader already has a
basis upon which to interpret the in
formation he gains.
When possible, the patrol leader
should have a map OF the country he
is to traverse-in many cases the route
speci1ed-and he should have a COM
pass, a watch, pencil and a 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 n
suitable condition for duty; that none
has any papers or maps which would
be of value to the eneAly if captured :;
that their accoutrements do not glisten
or rattle rs 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
W ldhe Ills pldCe IL lie SllOulu De us
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,
SO nearly as possible, the escape of one
man IL the patrol is Jumped" by a
superior force.
Generally speaking. it 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 q pa
troll as small as squad to assume.
since. beside the guards. II would al
low for main body Of the corporal
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 than
from 25 to 30 yards. With larger pa
troll, they may be as great as 100 yards.
The reason for this variation is both
that smaller force must. in the na-
ture of things, remain closer together.
and that the guards at 100 yards would
have far more difficulty in keeping in
sight two or three men than a larger
force.

istration at Washington Is doing every
thing in its power, by regulating pro-
duction and distribution, to keep down
the constantly rising prices OF all 1909

has already conferred with repre- 5enta-
tives OF the cottonseed oil industry
upon the desirability OF closing our
market for futures.
Recognizing. with much wisdom,
however, the usefulness OF an open
market that would enable producers

zion: but, while thus recognizing what
might be called legitimate speculation,
it has expressed its firm determination

undue speculative activity having for
its aim the enhancement OF prices.
