the league has been reduced to about
$4,000. None but workers remain, and
these men have now been training about
two years. Their uniform is forest
green and of military type.
After the Lusitania crisis the results
of conferences between Woods and Ma
ior General Leonard Wood and with ma
val officials at the Brooklyn yard began
to show in the development of the de-
partment. Army experts came up from
Governors Island and rugged wireless
station atop Police Headquarters, so
communication would not be dependent
on telephone and telegraph. Then a
class was instituted to train wireless
operators and policemen in the regula-
ton army and navy flag signal drills.
The location of every private or amateur
wireless station in the city is recorded
at Headquarters, and would be pressed
into service if telephone communication
were interrupted. If wireless failed,
trained wig-waggers stationed on roofs
of buildings could relay signals with
flags.
A little later universal military train
ing became the rule in the Police De-
partment. The instruction camp at
Fort Wadsworth, on Staten Island. was
organized, in charge of officers from
General Woods staff. Wadsworth grad
yates now number three thousand po-
Gcemen, who are grouped into compa-
MES, battalions and regiments, in COM
mand of their own officers, who have
had regular army instruction in the
handling of large bodies of men.
The department has three hundred
Springfield rifles stacked in the Head
quarters arsenal, inspected daily. They
are ready for instant use by battalion
of five hundred of the most expert
marksmen among the Wadsworth
men. Rifles for $500 additional mill
tary trained policemen could be had, if
needed.

the exodus had begun. Provisions for
the equipment for such camps extend
down to knives, forks and spoons.
For an emergency which would war

Commissioner Woods would have under
his command, in addition to his $4,000
uniformed policemen, more than 2O,OOO
volunteers, who are already down on
the books for their various tasks.
Woods solved his problem by co6pera-
ton. An example already has been
given in the projected rounding up and
internment of spies and suspects fol-
lowing a declaration of war. Foreign
espionage is technically Federal Secret
Service problem, but the Police Depart

the other hand, Secret Service methods

The Commissioner had be
gun to work on a plan Of
military training for the
force when the Lusitania
was sunk and the first Will
SON note went to Germany.
The preparedness cry rolled
from the Atlantic seaboard
to the Pacific slope. Arthur
Woods began to prepare.
He formed the Home De
fence League to meet the
identical crisis which now
confronts the nation. The
inspiration for a substitute
police organization was the
possibility of war with Ger
many. Twenty-Five thou
sand men responded to the
call for volunteers. Regula-
ton police drills in the mar
ual of small arms and the
use of the nightstick were
instituted, under the direc-
ton of department drill SER

learned their trade in the

prisoners, according to a

by water and could be easily

cations for quarters to house

Similar plans are complete
for the establishment of ref

the case of a great fire, an
earthquake or a lombard

evacuation of large sections
of the residential areas. Com

TF.TO-MORROW, state of war were

would precede the public announcement
Of the news from Washington. Police

would be able to devote their entire at

The thousand and one matters OF de-

endless administrative minutie which
span the gap between the touching OF
the button and the mobilization OF this
force bespeak calculations represent
ing years of labor and presuppose
generations and expedients which the

M Police preparedness, to use
W0ds's own term for it, is not de-
signed solely in anticipation OF war,
however. By modification Of details

ar excitement has simmered and the

out the Home Defence League, civil
ian police force of $4,000 men, trained
in the ordinary duties Of policeman,
and which would replace the regular
bluecoats on post and guard duty and
release them for more highly specialized
emergency work. Next comes the Fire
Department, whose 5000 members all
have had courses in police work. Picked
men from the white-winged squads of
the Bureau of Streets, the INTERIOR
ough's trained private detective force
of four hundred men and employees OF
the telephone, electric light and gas
companies complete the list of those
who would respond.
Plans for the mobilization of such a
civilian army mark the high tide of
the police preparedness programme
which has been in the making for
nearly three years. In 1914, when Ar
thur Woods took charge of the Police
Department, he accepted the leadership
of graft-logged and discredited organ
ization, which had just emerged from
the sordid disclosures of the Becker
case. He eliminated dishonesty and in
efficiency as matter of course and with
speed and thoroughness that was amaz-
ING. The wheezy, fat cOppers vanished
and the why young men of the new
regime appeared on the beats. Woods
added interest and dignity to the po-
liceman's calling. The suppression of
crime became routine matter, and soon
the new system was working so smooth
ly that the police executives found their
men with time on their hands for other
things. There were other things to do

tions scattered over the five boroughs.
Only a few weeks ago Commissioner
Woods completed arrangements by
which from two to five thousand po-
licemen may be concentrated at any
point in the greater city within two
hours. The motor trucks are for the
quick transport of the bluecoats. The
automobiles are to whisk the officers to
the scene of trouble that, they may be
there to take command of their men.
The three public service corporations
which supply most of our gas and cleo
tricity recently turned over to the Com
Missioner 1876 motor trucks for use in
emergency.
In the event of war with Germany
the most spectacular demonstration of
the prearranged plans of preparedness
would be the immediate arrest of three
thousand persons, who would be nus
tied into internment under the statutes
which provide for the detention of sus-
picious persons in time of war. The
police and United States Secret Service
men have been compiling this list for
two years. 1t contains the names OF
lawyers, doctors, editors, propagandistS
men from every walk and calling.
Some are German subjects, some claim
allegiance to other nations and some are
naturalized Americans.
Three possible sites have been select
ed for the internment camps to accom-
modate the three thousand persons to
be arrested forthwith in case Of war
and the thousands of others who would
be restrained in the course of methodi-
cal elimination of all enemy subjects

NEGRO JOURNALISM AND ITS
BENEFIT TO THE RACE,

We have not time or space to tell
of the benefits of Negro journalism to
the race. We al memely sketch
which does not have it's own organs
of publicity so as to keep its people
informed about themselves, and to
discuss the affairs of the community
and the world as they refer particu-
larly 10 that group, and to defend
themselves against Misrepresentation.
Every locality must have its local
paper. So every group must have its
organs.
We do n o get justice from white
papers. We must look to u own.
We do not get much inspiration
from white papers. We must turn
to our own.
Negro papers try to dignity the
Negro race. No matter how poor the
paper is, it is standing up for the
Negro, and is doing good.
Negro papers tell of the achieve
ments of the Negro people. You can
learn more of the good that Negroes
are doing from one issue of the aver
age Negro paper, which costs two
cents, three cents, or five cents, than
you can get from a years subscrip-
ton of the average white paper that
some of us pay $500 per year for
White papers emphasize the Negroes
weakness; Negro papers tell of our
strong points.
The Negro paper tries to dignity
Negro society, Negro womanhood and
the Negro home.
The Negro paper makes public
opinion among Negroes of an inspir
ing sort.
T he Negro paper is about the only
place where the Negro can get his
case before the world.
