FOUR SAMMIES ARE
SENTENCED TO DIE
FOR BEING ASLEEP

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Four Amer
lean soldiers caught asleep while do
ing sentry duty in the first line
trenches have been sentenced to
death, but General Pershing. although
he has authority to carry out the sem
tence, has referred their case to the
war department for review.
These are the first cases OF the kind
since the American troops went to
France. One soldier has been exc
cuted there for an unspeakable oifense
on a French child and in his case
General Pershing acted swiftly with
out as much as referring 1t to WASH
ington.
In these cases, however, some ex-
tenuating circumstances may be found
for the men, tired and nerve worn BY
front line trench duty in . hitherto
unknown manner Of warfare. to save
them from the death penalty ct the
hands Of their own fellows.
President Wilson probably IN the
end. will review their cases. Going TO
sleep ON sentry duty has long been
recognized as an unforgivable oifense,
punishable by death, and such cases,
rare az they have been In tho Amer
lean army, have furnished some q
the most absorbing incidents Of tn
history. One Of the most touching
recollections which attaches 10 the
memory OF Lincoln was his pardon Of
a country boy. who. tagged out By the
hard duty Of campaigning. went -
sleep on q sentry post.

Suggestion of
Toxic CAUSING
Stir at Capital

Washington. Feb. U.s. -Japan's move
to develop the feeling OF the allies
toward proposal for joint military
operations in Siberia to keep the vast
stores at Vladivostok and also the
trans-Siberian railway from falling
into the hands of German invaders
of Russia, was widely discussed to-
day among diplomats and officials. but
all were reluctant to give opinions for
publication.
While officials here are silent and
disposed to minimize discussion Ct
the subject, it is known that ex-
changes Of opinion are going ON with
the object Of perfect understanding
between Japan, the United States AM
the other co-belligerents which woui l
make the plan of joint action wholly
acceptable to all and thoroughly de-
fine its extent and duration.
.Russian representatives here oppose
action by the Japanese in Siberia, but
the co-belligerents are thoroughly
alarmed lest the vast quantities #
supplies piled up at Vladivostok
bought and paid for with American
cash. should fall into the hands Of
the Germans.
