Has 22,004) Members "The league was organized a year fend a half ago and the first company Was raised in the Brownsville district of Brooklyn. In a short time 5,000 men were enrolled. Tho league is now upward of 22,000 strong. A uniform has been adopted for those who care to purchase it, resembling the uniform of the forest ran~rtr and consisting of khaki, canvass leggings, police buttons, a campaign hat and flannel shirt. This costs not more than eight dollars. ICegulations Formulated "The league is not armed and is riot to be called out unless grave need exists. All members when on duty are under orders of the police com missioner and his subordinates. The following regulations have been for mulated by the police department: "*l. REPORTING h\)H DUTY: On a verbal or written notice from station-houses, report at station house promptly at the time specified, suitably clad, and if time allows, provide yourself will» an emergency ration to be carried in your pocket. " 2. NATIHK OF DUTY: Patrol and guard to relieve uniformed mem bers of the force called elsewhere, wherever possible, all patrolling to be done in pairs, or to furnish addi tional guard in precincts. 1. By zone posts. 2. By regular beats. 3. By motor car patrol. " DURATION OF DUTY; In four-hour tours, mainly between 6 p. m. and «» a. iu., in which time addi tional patrolling and guard work is necessary. These four-hour night tours are the most needed, but where members, for physical or business reasons, cannot give this service, they will be assigned to daytime patrol duty to relieve pressure on the regu lar force, and to clerical and orderly duty. It is difficult to state in ad vance the length of emergency serv ice which might be required, whether for one day or a number of days. "4. Kqu foment: A night-stick, whistle, and cloth brassard suitably Inscribed to be worn on the left arm, will bo issued by precinct command ers af the commencement of a tour of duty, and returned to him at the end of a tour or at the end of the service. "5. Uniform: The purchase of uniforms, specifications of which may be obtained from the officers of your company, is entirely voluntary but is encouraged where members can afford! and desire it. This uniform, which was only adopted at the particular request of members of the league, may be worn by those companies which lmve the uniforms. It has been found that the uniform adds to the neat ap pearance, strength and efficiency of a company. Anxious to Extend Knrollmcnt. "The police commissioner is anxious j to enroll individuals, partners of linns I and officers of companies desiring to I protect their own interests and to as sist in protecting those of their friends and neighbors. "Where the business establishment ! is of sufficient size to warrant it, a separate squad, platoon or company| may be formed of its own employees, but enrolled as all other members j uuder the direction of the police de i partment. "The department will issue to each | j man qualified by physi«i H inteili [ gence and character for enrollment the regular equipment of brassard, to be worn on the left arm, police stick and whistle, and will provide oppor j t unit y for simple drill and for instruc j tion in the easier police duties. "The police department wishes to I encourage the purchase of the fuH uniform where funds can be easily provided by private, means, but does not wish to urge it where the cost I would be in any way inconvenient to individual members. "Further information may be ob tained upon application to the police j commissioner, 240 Centre street.. En . rollment should be made with the i police captain of the precinct in which ι either the home or business of the in ! dividual is located. Called t.pon Three Times. "The League lias been called upon three times so far by the police com missioner and each time members have responded more generously than had been expected. "On one occasion the T^eague was asked to assist in obtaining recruits for the Red Cross. "At another time volunteers were called for to work locally for the pre vention oi street accidents. "Again, a call was issued for volun » teers to aid in maintaining sanitary patrol of the city by blocks during the poliomyelitis epidemic last sum mer. Character of the Membership. "The League is not a military body and is not related to the l'lattsburg j Idea. Many of Its members have been r In the army and navy, militia or naval 1 reserve. Among them are men who have had experience on the plains as woodsmen, railroad men, baseball and football men and men who have had active military service, both here and abroad. "There are day laborers and men of means, business and professional men, actors and writers, men earning $4 a day and men whose income is big enough to support both town and coun try homes. Home of the members go to and from their daily labor in trollev cars; others are driven by hired chauf feurs. There are members who own strings of big automobiles; men who are as expert as racing drivers. "There are owners of high-powered motorcycles, yachtsmen, men who can build anything: from a pump to an aeroplane, nien who are paying weekly instalments on a $-.000 home and men who own skyscrapers and apartment houses. "There is a good representative class of citizens in the league and. like the policemen they «are supporting, in ad dition to their ability to handle them selves in a physical encounter, they , would be perfectly at home in about everything, front laying a stone wall t to writing a law brief tatres i ωο.νΚΓ, BARRYMORE FEATI7RES !
