o6enses applies to a commanding off,
Ger and reads, "Shamefully delivering
up a garrison when in command Of
troops. without due necessity-punish-
;ment, death" a soldier can be shot
for throwing away his rife or sword
in the presence Of the enemy, for cow
ardice or Tor leaving his commanding
officer In order to plunder. If he forces
his way past sentry on active sery-
ice he may be sentenced 10 death OF
for assaulting any one bringing up pro-
visions for the troops. a soldier Is e1-
pressly forbidden while on active serY::
Ice to commit any ofense against q

he break into any house In search Of

Dreams.


What Is the purpose Of dreams? DR..
Isador q. Coriat answers the question
thus in 1.-THE Meaning Of Dreams:
It can be shown through dream small
ysis that dreams subserve q definite
junction In our mental life In that they
really act as protectors and not as dis
turbers Of sleep. This guardianship OF
sleep by means Of dreams IS due to the
persistent dynamic action Of the CEN
ser. In sleep the censor Is exceeding
" active, and Its function Is to protect
sleep from the mass Of repressed emo
lions which threaten to oTerwhelm the
sleeper In the shape Of dream. This
Is done by means; Of the dream mocha
nisms, in which the dream thoughts
are fused and displayed. thus under
going such disguise and symboD6ation
as to be unacceptable to the sleeper
and consequently not disturbing to
him. When the censor mods or IS evad-
ed, when the literal dream thoughts
bombard and invade consciousness IN
an undisguised form. sleep IS disturbed
