CHAPTER Xxx

Frequent German raids and renewed
activity all along the front by March
1, 1918, indicated the great German
offensive might start at any time. The
French general staff thought the allies
would be able to hold without serious
difficulty until we could help. but it
was doubtful enough to cause grave
apprehension.
1t was depressing to think that ten
months had elapsed since our entry
into the war and that we were just
barely ready with one division of 25,-
600 men.
My diary shows the following nots
tons:
Chaumont, Wednesday. March
6, 191S.-Heavy German raid re
pulsed by First division Friday
morning. The enemy also raided
the Twenty-sixth division lines
and were driven off.
Went to Ligny-en-Barrios SUM-
day to meet NJ. Clemenceau. who
came to congratulate the First
division on success repulsing raid.
Met General Debeney, who was
enthusiastic over conduct Of our
men. Spent the night at First di-
vision headquarters.
Motored TO Langres with Har-
bord Monday to speak at opening
of second session of general staff
college. Germans made raid on
Forty-second division that morn
ing.
Upon conclusion of this inspection
of the First division l considered it
ready to take the offensive at any
time. 1t had been eight months in
France, with varied experiences in
training. had occupied an independent
position in the st. Mihiel sector and
had made several successful trench
raids. Generals Duncan and Buck had
their infantry brigades in efficient
shape and Summerall had carried the
training Of the artillery brigade to a
high degree.

At the ports in France the amount of
freight discharged in January. 1918.
was more encouraging. being about
two-fifths as much as during the pre-
ceding seven months. The rate OF dis
charge was accelerated to some extent
by the better distribution of our trans
ports by the navy. More construction
was needed for port works and the fu-
ture was somewhat clarified in this re
spect by the arrival of additional log
ging machinery.
During the month there was also an
increase in troop shipments, including
some elements of the Thirty-second
CHaan's) division, with 10000 men for
the service of supply. By the end of
January approximately 10000 combat
troops. $4,000 engineer troops and 61.-
600 others for the service of supply
were in France. Although promising.
this was only the merest start, as we
were still far behind our schedule.
II must be added. however. that the
increase in the arrivals of men and
materials remained haphazard and not
at all in the proportions needed.
1t continued apparent that my
recommendations were not accepted in
an altogether unhesitating spirit of
helpfulness and that the serious need
for executive leadership back home
had not been met.

7MaY5 Officers of the LazO Should Haze
More Brains Than A,my Officers, Say
! Experts on Crime, and Here's a Test to
Shoe Whether or Not You Would Be q
Good Policeman.

DEAD the following report Of crime. In
u terpret the facts for what you think they
are worth, then answer the questions.
On March 3 man known Adams was
arrested for the murder of George Brown. The
murder committed on the corner Of First
and Main streets. principal streets in city of
10000, at 7:45 on the evening of February 25.
The summary of the case Is as follows:
/. Sarah Lewis and Annie Bower, eastbound
on First street, claim they heard the fatal shot
and saw the escaping murderer, wearing gray
cap and brown overcoat, cross First street about
100 feet west of Main street. and go toward
BrightWood avenue
2. On the day Of admitting the crime, Adams
was examined by three physicians and found
to be in a highly nervous condition.
3. He both admitted and denied the shooting
on the day he was taken into custody; three
days later he again denied the shooting, and
has continued to deny it.
4. On the day of his arrest, Sarah Lewis
could not identify the prisoner as the slayer.
On the following day she returned and said
she thought Adams was the slayer
S. Adams stated that on the night Of the
murder he had been at the Palace Theater,
which he had entered at o'clock, and where
he remained until after g.
Write the number Of the statement, which,
verified, would most definitely establish the
suspects innocence.
Write the number Of the point which tends
to lessen the value Of point No. in the case
against Adams
OF course. you want TO know the answers,
but do not read them until you have had
chance to puzzle it out yourself Ready?
The correct answers are 5 and 4.
And here are some more samples OF what
Uncle Sans policeman has had to grapple with
when he takes his exam
At the end of each of the following two SEN
fences write the number Of the word which
means the same most nearly the same as the
word at the beginning Of the sentence:
Small means most nearly Q) round (O
full (3) big ~ little (5) deep.

"WHEN an arrest is to be made appre-
w hending the individual is but the first
step. The policeman should also be able to
secure all evidence necessary to convict the
man arrested, If he is guilty The officer should
be quick and accurate in observation, able to
judge what facts ordinarily will be valuable and
admissible as evidence, and capable Of remem-
bering faces as well as Of making and remem-
boring associations between facts and people.
THE detective often acts alone and con-
fronts situations which require him to rely upon
his own judgment more frequently than does
the patrolman He should be able to make
important decisions quickly and accurately and
to interpret the facts Of a situation or the
actions of men and women.
He should have the insight necessary to
see to what facts given clue might lead and
he should not be led off the track by valueleSs
clues or those purpoSely planted
One Of the tests devised by Uncle Sans ex-
perts in the United States Civil Service Com
mission to test these qualities in the would-be
policeman was based on picture representing
the scene of crime an instant after the crime
was committed.
The applicants were allowed to study this
picture for four minutes and then were required
to answer from memory questions regarding
such items as the description of the victim and
assailant, the appearance and make OF the
automobiles, color Of the clothing and so on.
Then, with the picture before them. they
were asked such questions as whether strug-
gle had taken place, where the victim was
when hit and what the apparent motive for
the crime was.
Here is another sample which you may try
yourself to see whether you can interpret clues
and weigh their values q policeman should
be able to do.

-HE dumb cop must go.
TIE criminal has given up the
blackjack in favor of the machine gun
and given up his boxing lessons in
favor Of study of the nature of poiS-
gases.
So too the policeman has changed his meth
DDS to keep pace with the increasing scientific
knowledge of what used to be the underworld.
The up-to-date police department has its
laboratory. its department of ballisticS, experts
to whom it may refer for microscopic or chem
tcal tests Of blood stains. bullets, fngerprints
or other clues which may have been left at the
scene Of the crime.
The coop" himself is not the dumb, fiat
footed guardian Of the law pictured in popular
detective fiction True, physique is just as i'm
portant to the policeman today as it ever was,
and is still insisted upon by those who pick the
police officers for the most efficient forces. But
today, the policeman must also have brains!
The Presidents Crime Commission gives as
major cause Of increasing crime the lack Of
competent, efficient and honest patrolmen on
the beats August Vollrner. expert for the
commission and himself the head of model
police force, recommends that the patrolman be
able to rate B on the Alpha Intelligence Test"
given TO Army men during the World War.
The rating of is next to the highest that
can be attained, and is equal to or greater than
the mentality of half the Army's commissioned
officers up to the rank of major.
Will men of such superior mental capacity
take and keep jobs policemen? That de-
ponds on many factors, including pay, the re-
Quirements insisted upon, and the degree Of
respect with which the citizens view the posi-
ton. It also depends on the intelligence and
general ability Of the selected as chief
COME cities have built up a police force with
- intelligence The town of Palo Alto Calf
found after two years of intelligence
test for the selection Of policemen, that the
average score Of the men who remained on the
force for that period YVES higher than the aver
age for Army officers and higher than that re-
ported as the average for freshmen at many
colleges
Uncle Sam sets a good example in giving
mental tests to all applicants for the position
Of policeman in the Nations Capital.

undertook a special study Of the Police De-
partment with the purpose of devising an
examination which would not measure gen.
eral education such as knowledge Of lakes and

which would test general adaptability and the
aptitude necessary for police work.
Since all the higher positions, including posi-
lions of detectives. are filed by promotion in

Don't look at all men with suspicion. (2) All

90 burglary?
All six are crimes, but only murder" which
is numbered ~" refers to human life. The
others refer to property Therefore 80 is the
correct answer to this question.
Read the quotation and then answer the
question:
'"The nature Of police duty requires o po-
liceman to be alert concerning persons. places
and happenings in otder to prevent crime and
protect life and property"
The quotation shows that q policeman on
duty should be % obedient, CD watchful, 90
ambitious, a. systematic, (5) thrifty.
Washington is by no means the only city
using intelligence tests for the selection of DO
licemen. Many cities are making use of tests
devised by the Bureau of Public Personnel Ad-
ministration at Washington for the uee Of
various city civil service commissions
They are not so very different from those
used by the U. S. Government. They are not
designed to test knowledge Of police regula-
lions or the law or any OF the matters on
which the candidate might have crammed just
before taking the examination. Rather they
are meant to measure native ability to do po-
lice work-such traits as observation, memory
and common sense.
Obviously, the man who is unobServant will
be OF little value on the police force. Every
hour OF the day the patrolman's power of OBJ
servation Is called into play Everything from
the motor accident at the street intersection 10
the murder case to which he is assigned re-
qutres that he see things clearly and quickly.
Even his efficiency in handling the ordinary
speed law violator, the common drunk, or tho
petty thief. may hinge on his ability to eb-
serve correctly.
