TO SLEEPY GUARDS
President Expects Action to Act as a
Challenge to Better Service
Youth Considered.

WASHINGTON, June l9.-In grant
ing unconditional pardon to two young
soldiers sentenced to death for hay
ing slept on post at the front President
Wilson expected his action to act as Il
challenge to devoted service in the flu
tufe. The text of his order, identical
in both eases and made public yester-
day, says:
"In view of the youth Of Private
Forest ID. Bastian and jeff Cook, and
The fact that his offense seems 10 have
been wholly free from dsloyalty or
conscious disregard of his duty, i here
.by grant him full and unconditional
pardon and direct that he report to his
company for further military duty.
1.-THE needs Of discipline in the army
with proprietv impose grave penalties
mon those who imperil the safety Of
their fellows and endanger their coun-
try's cause by lack Of vigilance, or by
iufractions of rules in which safety has
been found TO rest. / am persuaded,
however, that this young man will take
the restored opportunity of his forfeited
life as q challenge to devoted service
for the future, and that the soldiers Of
the army of the United States in Franc
will realize too keenly the high char.
acter of the cause for which they arr
fighting, and the confidence which THEN
country reposes in them, to permit the
possibility of further danger from ans
similar Shortcomings
