Camp White Some 460 neat,
alert soldiers are acting as father

and policemen to approximately
three-quarters of a million service-men
who ride the trains each
month in the eight western states
of the Ninth Service Command,
army service forces.
They are the train guards of
the corps of military police. In
cooperation with the navy's shore
patrol, they attend the welfare
of military personnel and fre

ing general.
Prevention Aim
Much of their work is routine
i..in T,troi All of it is based
on an old adage: "An ounce of
prevention Is worth a pound of
cure." 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.
Picked Men
This Is prboably due largely to
. the type of men wl.o are now
being selected, trained and used
as military police. Train guards
are chosen by their commanding
officers for their diplomacy, tact

He must have possession of
