_The Director_: “I hope you have all noted the dispositions that
Lieutenant Ralston made. He posted two men to guard against surprise,
for there may be more of the enemy in the vicinity. It is fair to assume
that this man is not out alone at this time of the night. The remaining
man of the patrol is right here with Corporal Canes while he is
questioning the prisoner. He has him here for a purpose. Kline will take
the prisoner back to the support and having been present at the
examination, if he does give any information Kline will know all about
it and can tell the support commander in case the man changes his
statements after recovering his composure.
“It is one of the duties of a visiting patrol to pick up persons found
in the lines. It is of importance that they be captured and every
precaution towards that end should be taken. Make it a rule that persons
wandering about in the outpost line have no business to be there and
take no chances on them getting away.”
