They check passes, fur loughs and orders of military per sonnel. They guard against loose talk on the part of servicemen. They prevent excessive drinking and any untoward Incident. They assure that servicemen are in proper uniform when moving about trains and stations. Once an hour they must patrol the train and frequently they pa trol more often as a routine check. They encounter few cases of trouble. Arrests have been few, al though "MPs" are authorized to make arrests If necessary for any offense which reflects discredit upon the services. Usually the . mere presence of an "MP" Is suf ficient to cause military person nel to be quiet and orderly. They are respected by the enlisted man and officer alike.
