When n Soldier In Degraded.

This is how most armies degrade an
officer who has been proved traitor to
his country. The day before the traitor
is to be publicly degraded, the military
tailor removes all the buttons and
stripes from the officers uniform, re-
placing them with single stitch, SO
that they can be readily torn away.
The condemned mans sword is also filed
almost in two in order that it may be
easily snapped.
At the time appointed the traitor,
who has, of course, been tried by court.
martial, is marched out with his regi-
ment, wearing his uniform for the last
time. A halt is called, superior officer
repeats the verdict of the court martial,
advances toward the traitor and says
"You have disgraced the uniform you
wear; you are unworthy to carry arms.
In the name of our country we degrade
you
The decorations are torn from the
uniform, the sword broken in twain,
and amid the muffled rumbling of
drums the ceremony ends, although a
long term of imprisonment invariably
follows. -Pearsons Weekly.
