_Lieutenant Ralston_: “I would post Manley and Harrison to guard against surprise. I would have Kline join me. Before the prisoner had a chance to get over his confusion and collect his thoughts I would try to get some information from him.” _The Director_: “What questions would you ask him?” _Lieutenant Ralston_: “I would ask him: “‘What outfit do you belong to? “‘What are you doing in our lines? “‘Are there any other men of your outfit around here? “‘What is your name and rank?’” Explanation _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.” * * * * * =Visiting Patrol= =Card No. 4= =Director’s Key= 1.
