Black Soldiers Acted Well.

Camels evidently despise bullets.
The camel transport corps was In

pOtamia. and received its baptism of
fire. No shell or bullet can excite the

might have been expected that the
camel drivers, unarmed and unframed
for war. would have run for It ut 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 n hill is to be passed over, the
region beyond should first be observed
by n man; in the same way. houses
or Enclosures should be approached by
a single man or avoided entirely. This
for the reason that one mar 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 u trap. Woods
should generally be reconnoitered in a
thin skirmish line. This serves as a
big rake. of which each man is a
tooth, for comblng 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 500 rs 1t Is
gained unless the patrol itself Is to re-
turn ut once. In any case, It Is the
duty Of the leader to send reports to
his commander with sufficient fire..
Guency to keep the commander In.
formed as to his whereabouts and what
he Is accomplishing.
The information, IL written. should
be signed by the leader, and should
state the place, date. hour and minute
Of Its dispatch. II this does not seem
requisite to the young soldier. It must
ut all times be borne in mind that the
commander Is continually receiving In.
formation from other sources-0ther
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 a clue to q whole
series Of other facts which have been
reported before. but which he was un-
able to interpret.
