WASHINGTON. Sent. 27--No report OF
the separation of the marine regiment
from Major General Siberts command
has been received by the war or navy
departments today an dofficials re
garded it with some surprise. 1t was
not interpretated, however, as meaning
that the marines are not to see active
service at the front, but rather that
the need for their services in provost
guard work, in which they are most
proficient, is at this time more
pressing.

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
diers 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 n 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 a whole, but what is more to
the point, the guard, encountering dan
ger. would be able to warn the main
body before it fell into a trap. Woods
should generally be reconnOitered in
thin skirmish line. This serves as
Zig rake, of which each man is a
tooth, for cOmbing the tnicket.
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 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, it is the
duty of the leader TO send reports to
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
state the place, date, hour and minute
Of it's dispatch. II this does not seem
requisite to the young soldier, it 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 a whole
series of Other facts which have been
reported before, but which he was un-
able to interpret.

China's "Four 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.-

Writes With His Knee.

The invention of a Portland (Ore.
doctor, by means of which one can

billties for the person deprived of the
use of both hands; for the device af-
fOrds a much more convenient meth
cd of writing than by holding a pencil
with the toes or teeth. says Popular
Mechanics Magazine. The apparatus
consists of broad strip of leather fas-
tened over the bent knee by means of
spring clasps. 1t is provided with two
pencil clips, into which a pencil is in
serted so that it projects beyond the
knee. A low rack, made like music

in convenient position. Ample range
of motion for the pen is obtained by
resting the foot on the ball, with the

THE OUTPOST.

Patrols are by no means sufficient to
guarantee the security of force I'm
hostile territory. or in the proximity
of an enemy in friendly territory.
Every camp or bivouac should be pro-
tected by covering detachments known
rs 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 a 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
trols, 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 a
large command, a more elaborate sys-
TEN 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 q camp to be
Jumped" in the colloquial language
of the army, is an offense on the part
of the commander which is neither te
be explained nor extenuated. This does
not mean that camp or bivouac may
not be overwhelmed with 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, IL
the commander is kept constantly adj
vised of the whereabouts of the enemy
it 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 ten
men. If more than one squad is re-
quired at any point, two squads are
preferable to one squad and 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 a clear silhouette of their move
ments. The skyline. indeed, is a back
ground which brings out q figure more
distinctly than any other-even the
olive drab uniform does not escape the
eye, since it is the outline and not the
color which is distinguishable.
Troops on outposts do not render
honors. 1t is assumed that their at
tention is completely occupied in keep
ing upon the lookout.

Ing. The world has never before been
engaged in such n war as that into
which now most of the great nations

But how can the American boy best

land is having bitter experience with
her boys. Police regulations are re-
laxed, the streets are darkened, the
schools are closed to release boys for
labor, and these things are all having
their effect on the morals of the boys.
This has been the case all over Europe,

young children, whose minds are al
ready accepting slaughter and pillage
as the normal course of life.

"The fellow who quits on his work

BOY SCOUT FIRE SQUAD.

Troop No. 8 of Vandergrift, Pa,
boasts Of having the first organized
Boy Scout fire squad. This fire squad
was officially recognized by the fire
department awarding each of the men,
bers a regular firemen's badge. After
training for two months under their
scoutmaster, Charles w. Henry, Jr.,
who is also instructor of the firemen's
rescue squad, they proved themselves
very efficient along the lines Of fire
prevention, fire fighting, first aid, res
cue work and police duty. The Boy
Scout fire squad practices each week
with the fire company, and the boys
are taught regular firemen's duties
aside from their Scout duty, such as
plugging, connecting up and directing
hose and nozzles. During their short
period of aiding the firemen, they have
been called to quite few fires, and
have responded with 100 per cent In
